Run recurring coding tasks with Claude Code across both your local desktop and / or cloud. Set repos, schedules, and prompts once, and let tasks execute automatically wherever they’re set to run (locally or on cloud). Ideal for continuous workflows, automation, and agent-like development.
I’m excited to hunt this because Claude Code is moving from a tool you open to an agent that actually works for you on a schedule.
What it is: Scheduled Tasks in Claude Code now across both local desktop and remote execution.
Problem → Solution: Repetitive coding and ops tasks require manual effort or complex setups (cron, scripts). Now you just write a prompt, set a schedule, and Claude handles it automatically.
What’s different: It works both on your local machine (while it’s awake) and remotely on cloud so tasks can run continuously without you needing to keep things open.
Key features:
Set repos, prompts, and schedules
Recurring task automation
Runs locally or cloud-based
Access to your code, workflows, and tools
Use cases:
Automated reports & updates
Log monitoring + PR creation
Research and data collection
File cleanup & workflow automation
Who it’s for: Devs, founders, and teams who want agent-like automation without infra overhead.

@rohanrecommends Love the local/cloud flexibility. And congrats. Just a quick q: how do you handle prompt drift or context loss in long-running remote schedules, like for ongoing log monitoring or PR automation?
Setting up cron jobs for AI tasks was genuinely painful before this. Write a prompt once, set the schedule, and let it run — locally or in the cloud. This is what "agentic" actually looks like in practice 🔥

I asked Claude himself to give me a summary of the feature :
Recurring Tasks (Cron) in Claude Code:
Schedule prompts on a recurring interval or as one-shot reminders
Works in both CLI and VS Code
Limits: session-only (nothing persisted to disk), auto-expires after 7 days, only fires when Claude is idle
Use cases: CI polling, one-off reminders, temporary monitoring
Verdict: session convenience tool, not a real scheduler
