Why This Matters

Claude Code Routines introduces automated, scheduled, and event-driven workflows that enable developers and teams to streamline repetitive tasks, manage code repositories, and maintain issue tracking efficiently. By leveraging cloud infrastructure and multiple trigger options, these routines enhance productivity and ensure continuous operation without manual intervention, making them a valuable tool for the evolving needs of the tech industry and consumers alike.

Key Takeaways

Put Claude Code on autopilot. Define routines that run on a schedule, trigger on API calls, or react to GitHub events from Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure.

Routines are in research preview. Behavior, limits, and the API surface may change.

A routine is a saved Claude Code configuration: a prompt, one or more repositories, and a set of connectors , packaged once and run automatically. Routines execute on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure, so they keep working when your laptop is closed.

Each routine can have one or more triggers attached to it:

Scheduled : run on a recurring cadence like hourly, nightly, or weekly

: run on a recurring cadence like hourly, nightly, or weekly API : trigger on demand by sending an HTTP POST to a per-routine endpoint with a bearer token

: trigger on demand by sending an HTTP POST to a per-routine endpoint with a bearer token GitHub: run automatically in response to repository events such as pull requests, pushes, issues, or workflow runs

A single routine can combine triggers. For example, a PR review routine can run nightly, trigger from a deploy script, and also react to every new PR.

/schedule . Routines are available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans with Claude Code on the web enabled. Create and manage them at claude.ai/code/routines , or from the CLI with

This page covers creating a routine, configuring each trigger type, managing runs, and how usage limits apply.
