A developer shares a $20-$30/month workflow for unsupervised agentic coding using Claude Code triggered by GitHub Actions. By labeling GitHub issues, Claude Code automatically elaborates requirements, implements features, and raises pull requests — all without the developer writing or reading code. In one month of casual phone-based interaction, the author surpassed seven months of traditional Friday development, adding 500+ tests, mobile UI improvements, GDPR analytics, and more. The post covers the GitHub Actions workflow setup, the shift from 'human in the loop' to 'human on the loop', and practical notes on managing code quality in an agentic context.
