AI BriefingClaude Code Routines Unveiled
Key point
Anthropic has unveiled Claude Code Routines, which automates code based on schedules, APIs, and GitHub events.
Details
Claude Code Routines is a cloud-based code automation feature that runs on Anthropic's infrastructure, continuously performing tasks under specified conditions even when the user's laptop is off.
A routine consists of a prompt, repository, connectors, and trigger, and supports the following three types of triggers:
- Schedule: Hourly, daily, or weekly execution (supports cron expressions)
- API: Invocation via a dedicated HTTP endpoint
- GitHub events: Responds to about 20 events such as PR creation, Push, and Issues
Key use cases include backlog maintenance, custom code reviews, deployment verification, documentation sync, and library porting. In particular, through MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors, it can integrate with external services such as Slack, Linear, and Google Drive to carry out tasks.
Routines can be created and managed via the web, CLI (/schedule), and the desktop app. It is currently in the research preview stage, available to users on Pro plans and above, and the feature and API specifications are subject to change.
