In this video, I'll be showing you Claude Code's new built-in scheduled tasks feature that lets you run prompts on a schedule in the background while you keep working. This is incredibly useful for monitoring deployments, babysitting pull requests, and setting reminders.

Key Takeaways:

⏰ Claude Code now has built-in scheduled tasks that run prompts on a schedule in the background.  
🔄 The /loop command makes it ridiculously easy to set up recurring tasks with flexible interval syntax.  
⚙️ You can schedule other slash commands to run automatically, like PR reviews every 20 minutes.  
🔔 One-time reminders work too—just tell Claude when to remind you and it handles the rest.  
🎯 Tasks run at low priority between your turns, so they never interrupt your actual work.  
⏱️ Recurring tasks auto-expire after 3 days as a safety net to prevent forgotten loops running forever.  
💡 Session-scoped tasks are perfect for day-to-day monitoring, while GitHub Actions suit long-running jobs.

Claude Code now supports built-in scheduled tasks via the /loop command. You can schedule recurring prompts using natural language intervals (e.g., '/loop 5 minutes check deployment') or standard cron expressions. Tasks run in the background between your turns, support up to 50 concurrent jobs per session, and auto-expire after 3 days. One-time reminders are also supported. Key limitations: tasks are session-scoped and lost if Claude Code is closed. For durable scheduling, GitHub Actions or desktop scheduled tasks are recommended instead.
