What is duckflux and how does it differ from Claude sub-agents?

Duckflux is a YAML workflow DSL for deterministic orchestration; LLMs run inside steps. Claude routes via LLM inference — flaky for pipelines.

Should I migrate my Claude Code workflows to duckflux?

Yes, if you need repeatability beyond interactive use. Start with simple flows like test-review-deploy.

Can duckflux handle parallel LLM calls like Claude background agents?

Absolutely — parallelism, events, retries all baked in, more reliably.
