Ollama added scheduled /loop prompts for Claude Code, enabling recurring research, reminders, bug triage, and PR checks. Use it to automate background routines in local or self-hosted agent setups without adding a separate scheduler first.

/loop prompts on a schedule, turning recurring prompts into built-in automation for coding and research workflows launch post.Ollama's announcement says Claude Code can now "run prompts on a schedule" with /loop, and the example command is a simple recurring prompt: "Give me the latest AI news every morning" from the launch thread. That makes /loop look less like a one-off agent command and more like a lightweight scheduler embedded directly in the coding tool.
The thread keeps the initial scope concrete. Ollama uses the PR example for pull-request checks, the research example for recurring research, and the bug example for bug reporting and triage. A separate reminder post adds reminders, which suggests the feature can handle both repo automation and general recurring prompts.
Ollama's Claude Code docs position the integration around Claude Code running against open models through Ollama's Anthropic-compatible API. The documentation summary names models including qwen3.5, glm-5:cloud, and kimi-k2.5:cloud, and says Claude Code can be launched either with quick commands or manual environment-variable configuration, according to the docs post.
The same documentation gives one operational constraint that matters for engineers: it recommends "at least 64,000 tokens" of context for better results, as described in the docs summary. That means the scheduling feature is new, but the practical rollout depends on the model and context budget behind the Claude Code session, not just the /loop command itself.
