Anthropic launches Claude Code Routines in research preview, letting developers automate tasks on a schedule, via API calls, or in response to GitHub events — all running on Claude's cloud infrastructure and available now for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users.
Key Points
- Anthropic is launching routines in Claude Code in research preview, allowing developers to configure automated tasks once and run them on a schedule, via API call, or in response to GitHub events — all on Claude Code's cloud infrastructure.
- Three types of routines are now available: scheduled routines that run on hourly, nightly, or weekly cadences; API routines triggered by HTTP requests from external tools like alerting systems or deploy pipelines; and webhook routines that automatically fire in response to GitHub repository events like pull requests.
- Routines are available today for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise Claude Code users, with daily limits of 5, 15, and 25 routines respectively for Pro, Max, and Team/Enterprise tiers, with additional usage available beyond those limits.
