Claude Code v2.1.248 ·

/loop always offers the self-paced form

/loop always shows the interval as optional; the old 10m default wording is gone.

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

/loop no longer changes its help text based on a runtime check. It always advertises the interval as optional, and the old "defaults to 10m" variant is gone. Argument hint is now always [interval] [prompt].

Usage
/loop 5m /foo
/loop check the build and fix what broke
Details
  • Omitting the interval lets the model decide when to run again, which depends on loop keepalive being on.
Evidence

Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Common workflows touched a line naming /loop after this was published. | [`/loop`](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks) | The current CLI session | Quick polling while a session is open. `--resume` and `--continue` restore unexpired fixed-interval loops. | common-workflows see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /loop, on Schedule recurring tasks in Claude Code Desktop. | | [Cloud](/docs/en/routines) | [Desktop](/docs/en/desktop-scheduled-tasks) | [`/loop`](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks) | desktop-scheduled-tasks see the edit
