What
A new /loop slash command that schedules prompts to run on a recurring interval, enabling automated monitoring, polling, and periodic tasks within a Claude Code session.
Usage
/loop 5m /babysit-prs
/loop 30m check the deploy
/loop 1h /standup 1
/loop check the deploy (defaults to 10m interval)Details
- Supports intervals in seconds, minutes, hours, or days (e.g.,
5m,30m,2h,1d). Minimum granularity is 1 minute - Also supports standard 5-field cron expressions for precise scheduling (e.g.,
"/5 "for every 5 minutes,"30 14 * 1-5"for weekdays at 2:30pm) - Jobs are session-only by default (die when Claude exits), but can be persisted to
.claude/scheduled_tasks.jsonto survive restarts - Recurring tasks auto-expire after 3 days
- A small deterministic jitter is added to fire times to avoid thundering-herd effects
- Only fires while the REPL is idle (not mid-query)
- Uses file-based locking so only one Claude session runs the scheduler at a time
- Three new internal tools:
CronCreate,CronDelete,CronList

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