Claude Code /Loop – Here Are 3 Autonomous Loops for My Daily Work

Most engineers hear “scheduled tasks” and think cron jobs. A time trigger, a script, a log file nobody checks. The Claude Code loop command is not that. It is closer to handing your night shift to a colleague who already knows your codebase, your conventions, and your PR review standards — then finding three pull requests waiting for you at breakfast.

Boris Cherny, the engineering lead behind Claude Code, runs five parallel Claude instances daily. Twenty to thirty PRs per day. His CLAUDE.md is a living document that evolves with every session. When Anthropic shipped /loop, they did not build a scheduler.
