DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

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

/loop
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.
