Claude Code “Loop” Scheduling: Recurring AI Tasks in Your Session The script explains Claude Code’s new “Loop” feature (an evolution of the Ralph Wiggins technique) for running recurring prompts that help verify work and prevent premature task completion. Loop can schedule tasks for up to three days using natural language or a /loop command, with a minimum one-minute interval, and it shows the scheduled prompt, notes, and auto-expiry. Examples include looping over PRs to fix build issues, summarizing tagged Slack posts via MCP, creating daily Git history recaps saved to the desktop, and scraping Hacker News with Firecrawl then emailing summaries via a connected Gmail CLI skill. Loops are scoped to the active Claude Code session and stop when the session closes, include up to a 10% scheduling offset to avoid synchronized API spikes, and can be disabled via a flag; for durable scheduling, the script suggests the desktop app feature or GitHub Actions. 00:00 Loop Feature Intro 00:20 Why Tasks Fail Early 00:53 Loop Use Cases 01:07 Scheduling Your First Loop 01:27 Intervals Limits Expiry 01:51 Daily Git Recap Example 02:25 Combining With Skills 02:43 Session Scope Caveats 03:38 Hacker News Email Automation 04:27 Listing Canceling Jobs 05:00 New Commands Summary 05:10 Scheduler Time Offsets 05:45 Disable Flag Limitations 06:42 Durable Alternatives Wrap Up
