## Resource

Claude Opus 4.8 + UltraCode: Run a 100-Agent Swarm with Dynamic Workflows (Mission Control Demo)The script explains Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 release and its UltraCode setting with Dynamic Workflows, which lets Claude Code act as an orchestrator that dynamically writes orchestration scripts to spawn tens to hundreds of parallel sub-agents, then uses additional agents to review and try to break the work before it reaches the user. It demonstrates how an “agent swarm” can be visualized in a custom Mission Control dashboard with a live map, task tracking (time, tokens, sub-agents), and a workspace that saves all outputs in one place. A highlighted example is a developer rewriting about 750,000 lines of code in 11 days with parallel agents and two reviewers per file. The narrator advises using UltraCode for large tasks and normal chat for small ones, and promotes access to a paid agent operating system, dashboard, and community training. 00:00 UltraCode Swarm Hype 00:47 Dynamic Workflows Explained 02:33 Real World Rewrite Win 02:56 Why Swarms Beat Solo 04:03 Turning On UltraCode 04:46 Old Way vs New Way 05:38 Goldie Swarm Stack 06:38 Live Map and Workspace 07:39 Tokens Reviews and Tracking 09:12 Mission Control Setup Tips 10:06 Dashboard and Course Pitch 11:13 Final Wrap Up
