Claude Code Routines in 5 Minutes: Automate Skills That Keep Running While You Sleep.

Routines are Claude Code's new scheduling layer. They run skills on a trigger (time, GitHub event, API call) and keep running after you close the terminal. In 5 minutes we cover: - What a routine actually is and why it replaces "ask Claude to repeat this every Monday" - The four pieces every routine has: name, instructions, trigger, integrations - How to wire a real one: a LinkedIn-post routine that runs three times a week and ships to Slack for review - The bypass-permissions setting that keeps Claude from interrupting you every five minutes This is part of a short series on Claude Code automation.
