Worauf sich diese Seite beruft, wörtlich, abgerufen am 12.10.2026:

• Use cloud tasks for work that should run reliably without your machine. Use Desktop tasks when you need access to local files and tools. Use /loop for quick polling during a session.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• After each iteration it picks a delay between one minute and one hour based on what it observedbestätigt 10.11.2026
• Tasks only fire while Claude Code is running and idle. Closing the terminal or letting the session exit stops them firing.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• This bounds how long a forgotten loop can run.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Seconds are rounded up to the nearest minute since cron has one-minute granularity.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• A scheduled fire only runs skills that Claude is allowed to invoke on its ownbestätigt 10.11.2026
• Claude does not start new initiatives outside that scope, and irreversible actions such as pushing or deleting only proceed when they continue something the transcript already authorized.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Edits to loop.md take effect on the next iteration, so you can refine the instructions while a loop is running.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• If an iteration ends without either rescheduling or stopping, Claude Code schedules one fallback wakeup about 20 minutes later and ends the loop when that iteration doesn't reschedule either.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• A session can hold up to 50 scheduled tasks at once.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• A scheduled prompt fires between your turns, not while Claude is mid-response.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Unless it runs every five minutes, a recurring task starts each run late by up to half the gap to the next run, and by at most 30 minutes.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• No catch-up for missed fires.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• A self-paced /loop isn't restored, so run /loop again to restart it.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Backgrounding the session carries /loop tasks over to a background session, which keeps running without a terminal.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• You can also pass a skill as the prompt, for example /loop 20m /review-pr 1234bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Supported units are s for seconds, m for minutes, h for hours, and d for days.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• Recurring tasks automatically expire 7 days after creation.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• For cron-driven automation that needs to run unattended:bestätigt 10.11.2026
• No (fresh clone)bestätigt 10.11.2026
• When you omit the prompt, Claude uses a built-in maintenance prompt instead of one you supply.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• tend to the current branch’s pull requestbestätigt 10.11.2026
• When you resume with claude --resume or claude --continue, Claude Code doesn’t restart the background Bash commands and monitors that were running when the session ended.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• A self-paced loop waiting there for its next iteration keeps running, and that iteration starts on schedule.bestätigt 10.11.2026
• In a background session, a self-paced loop stops if its next wakeup comes due while the session’s process isn’t running, such as after a crash.bestätigt 10.11.2026
