Claude Code can now run recurring prompts and background pull-request work on Anthropic-managed cloud environments from the web, desktop, or `/schedule`. That makes long-running repo tasks less dependent on a local machine, but users report task caps and restricted egress.
/schedule CLI flow, and Anthropic's docs say task setup includes a named prompt plus an environment selection that scopes repo and connector access.Posted by iBelieve
Documents cloud scheduled tasks in Claude Code that automate recurring prompts on Anthropic infrastructure, running even when the user's machine is off. Examples include daily PR reviews and overnight CI analysis. Available to Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise users. Compares with Desktop and /loop options (cloud: min 1h interval, no machine needed; others require machine on). Creation via web (claude.ai/code/scheduled), Desktop app, or CLI /schedule. Involves naming task, writing prompt, selecting environment (controls access), and scheduling. Management includes viewing runs, editing, pausing via web/CLI. Integrates repos, MCP connectors like Slack/Linear.
Anthropic has moved a slice of Claude Code from "agent on your laptop" to agent jobs running on its own cloud. In the product docs, scheduled tasks are described as recurring prompts that run on Anthropic infrastructure, with examples including "daily PR reviews" and "overnight CI analysis." The same docs say the feature is available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise, and can be created from the web UI, desktop app, or with /schedule in the CLI via the docs.
The practical effect is visible in Rohan Paul's demo thread, which describes Claude Code as a background PR mechanic that can "watch a GitHub pull request," respond to CI failures and review comments, clone the repo, run tests, edit code, and push fixes after you close the app. That goes beyond reminder-style scheduling: the cloud worker can keep state around a repo task and decide whether a reviewer note is "clear enough to fix on its own" or should be handed back to the developer.

Claude Code now supports recurring cloud-run tasks for automation like PR reviews and CI analysis, with environment-scoped access and web/CLI management. The thread’s main engineering takeaways are the practical constraints: task caps on some plans, limited network egress, lack of screenshots, and debugging friction when cloud environments fail to set up cleanly.
The launch is useful, but the first wave of practitioner feedback is about boundaries. The Hacker News thread highlights a plan cap of "3 daily cloud scheduled sessions" for at least some users, plus open questions about whether cloud environment runtime itself is billed separately from tokens. Those details matter because the feature is positioned for recurring CI and review loops, where frequency and unattended runtime determine whether it fits real team workflows.

Thread discussion highlights: - iBelieve on 3-task limit and cloud sandbox appeal: "Your plan gets 3 daily cloud scheduled sessions..." ... "it'll be nice to be able to run scheduled tasks in the cloud sandbox." - mkagenius on missing capabilities and network limits: "This is a bit restrictive, doesn't take screenshots..." / "It doesnt allow egress curl, apart from few hardcoded domains." - chopete3 on comparison to Grok Tasks: "Grok has had this feature for some time now... They give 10 concurrent tasks free."
Users in the same discussion summary also call the environment "a bit restrictive": one commenter says it "doesn't take screenshots," while another says it "doesnt allow egress curl, apart from few hardcoded domains." That makes the first release more suitable for repo-bound automation and approved integrations than for arbitrary browser or network-heavy jobs, even though Anthropic's docs say environments can connect to repos and MCP tools like Slack and Linear.
Anthropic turned Claude Code into a background PR (Pull request) mechanic that can watch a GitHub pull request, react to CI failures and review comments, and push obvious fixes while you are away. Claude Code on the web runs those jobs on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure Show more
Thrilled to announce Claude Code auto-fix – in the cloud. Web/Mobile sessions can now automatically follow PRs - fixing CI failures and addressing comments so that your PR is always green. This happens remotely so you can fully walk away and come back to a ready-to-go PR.
