In this video I break down the /loop command in Claude Code and why it’s honestly one of the most useful workflow automations you can add right now. /loop is basically a scheduling tool: I can run a prompt on a recurring interval, poll for statuses, or even set a once-off reminder. You’ll see how I set intervals (like “every 30 minutes” or “every weekday at 9am”), how cron jobs work if you’ve never touched cron before, and how to attach either a normal prompt or a custom slash command to the schedule. I also cover the practical stuff you’ll run into: you can schedule up to 50 cron jobs per session, jobs expire after 3 days, and they only run while the Claude Code session is open (so if you close the session or shut down your machine, it’s done). If you need persistence, I show the alternative via Claude Desktop scheduled tasks. Then I walk through 5 real ways I use /loop: auto-updating CLAUDE.md/agents.md memory files, keeping public docs inside the app up to date, running a test suite “watchdog” on autopilot, enforcing a UI design system via a sub-agent + custom command, and monitoring GitHub pull requests with the GitHub CLI to generate a merge-ready report. Finally, I show a clean way to manage multiple jobs using a custom init-loops command so you can spin everything up in one go.
