It seemed OpenClaw is just Pi with Cron and hooks, and it seems like this is just Claude Code with Cron and hooks. Based on the superiority of Pi, I would not expect this to attract any one from OpenClaw, but it will increase token usage in Claude Code.

This wild, one of the pieces I was lacking for a very openclaw-esque future. Now I think I have all the mcp tools I need (github, linear, slack, gmail, querybear), all the skills I need, and now can run these on a loop.

Am I needed anymore?

Let it "build power plant" and we are on track with "Paperclip maximizer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence#Paper...

This is one of the best features of OpenClaw - makes sense to swipe it into Claude Code directly. I wonder if Anthropic wants to just make claude a full stand-in replacement for openclaw, or just chip away at what they think the best features are, now that oAI has acquired.

What are some of the best use cases you've found? I have some gh actions set up to call claude code, but those have already been possible.

I don't get the use case for these... Their primary customers are enterprises. Are most enterprises happy with running daily tasks on a third party cloud outside of their ecosystem? I think not.

So who are they building these for?

Nobody likes infra. PMs don't know wtf a crontab is.

Not really any different to GitHub Actions

Haven't Github-triggered LLMs already been the source of multiple prompt injection attacks? Seems bad.

I just used this to summarize HN posts in last 24 hours, including AI summaries.

This PR was created by the Claude Code Routine:

I have a small team of 4 engineers, each of us is on the personal max subscription plan and prefer to stay this way to save cost. Does anyone know how I can overcome the challenge with setting up Routines or Scheduled Tasks with Anthropic infra in a collaborate manner: ie: all teammates can contribute to these nightly job of cleaning up the docs, cleaning up vibe coding slops.

My team was doing this until recently but I think in February, Anthropic made team accounts available for subscription instead of API billing. Assuming that is the cost you mentioned.

Seems like it only supports x86_64. It would be nice if they offered a way to bring your own compute, to be able to work on projects targeting arm64.

How does this deal with stop hooks? Can it run https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/plugins/...

Oh cool! vendor lock-in.
