Given the alleged recent extreme reduction in Claude Code usage limits (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47739260 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47739260), how do these more autonomous tools work within that constraint? Are they effectively only usable with a 20x Max plan? EDIT: This comment is apparently [dead] and idk why.
- breakingcups 6mo ago
  You seem to be vouched for now, no longer dead for me.
  - minimaxir 6mo ago
    Hmm, I can't edit the original comment to retract that edit either. Either my account is flagged for something or HN is being weird.

      Everything looks good to me: you don't look like you have a flagged account (but then I don't work for HN).

        That is not what that feature does, it just is the time your comment is publically shown. Users have 2 hours to edit comments, and the button was gone within 1 hour.

  I've been talking to friends about this extensively, and read all sorts of different social media posts on X where people deep dove things (I'm at work so I don't have any links handy - though I did submit one on HN, grain of salt, unsure how valid it is but it was interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47752049 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47752049 ). I think the real issue stems from the 1 Million token context window change. They did not anticipate the amount of load it would give you. That first few days after they released the new token window, I was making amazing things in one single session from nothing, to something (a new .NET based programming language inspired by Python, and a Virtual Actor framework in Rust). I think since then they've been trying too many things to tweak things, whilst irritating their users. They even added a new "Max" thinking mode, and made "High" the old medium, which is ridiculous because you think you're using "High" but really you're not. There's a hidden config file to change their terrible defaults to let Claude be smarter still, and apparently you can toggle off the 1M tokens. I think the real fix, and I'm surprised nobody there has done this yet, is to let the user trim down their context window. Think about it, you used to have what? 350k tokens or so? Now Claude will keep sending your prompt from 30 minutes ago that's completely irrelevant to the back-end, whereas 3 months ago it would have been compacted by now. Others have noted that similar prompting for some ungodly reason adds tens of thousands of extra garbage tokens (not sure why). Edit looks like someone figured out that if you downgrade your version of Claude Code and change one single setting it unruins Claude: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769879
  - dacox 6mo ago
    Yeah, I have been seeing lots of comments, tweets, etc, but given everything I have learned about these models - i do not think the change to 1M was innocuous. I'm not sure what they've claimed publicly, but I'm fairly certain they must be doing additional quantization, or at minimum additional quantization of the KV cache. Plus, sequence length can change things even when not fully utilized. I had to manually re-enable the "clear context and continue" feature as well.

  AI race to the bottom is a debt game now. Once the party is over somebody will have to pay the bill.
  - timacles 6mo ago
    It’s going to be crazy with the explanation they come up with why the us public has to pay to bail out AI for national security. In a way, it’s true if china has superior AI then it’s dominance over US will materialize. But it’s not hard to see how this scenario is being used to essential lie and scam into trillions of debt. Its interesting how the cutthroat space of big tech has manifested into an incidious hyper capitalist system where disrupting a system is it’s primary function. The system in this case is world order and western governments

OpenClawd had about a two week moat... Feature delivery rate by Anthropic is basically a fast takeoff in miniature. Pushing out multiple features each week that used to take enterprises quarters to deliver.
- nightpool 6mo ago
  Do you mean a 3 months moat? Moltbot started going viral in January. That seems to be about a quarter to deliver to me : )
- whalesalad 6mo ago
  Hard to wanna go all-in on the Anthropic ecosystem with how inconsistent model output from their top-tier has been recently. I pay $$$ for api-level opus 4.6 to avoid any low-tier binning or throttling or subversive "its peak rn so we're gonna serve up sonnet in place of opus for the next few hours" but I still find that the quality has been really hit or miss lately. The bell curve up and then back down has been so jarring that I am pivoting to fully diversifying my use of all models to ensure that no one org has me by the horns.
  - bpodgursky 6mo ago
    yeah i mean nobody uses Claude anymore, the utilization is too high
    - chrisweekly 6mo ago
      right, like the bar nobody goes to anymore bc it's always too crowded
- slopinthebag 6mo ago

If you’re trying this for automating things on GitHub, also take a look at Agentic Workflows: https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ They support much of the same triggers and come with many additional security controls out of the box
- gavinray 6mo ago
  Why have I not heard of this? Was looking for a way to integrate LLM CLI's to do automated feature development + PR submission triggered by Github issues, seems like this would solve it.
  - eranation 6mo ago
    Built in Co-Pilot I believe can do this better than gh-aw (or a click away). Cursor has that too by the way (issue -> remote coding session -> PR -> update slack)
- deadfall23 6mo ago
  Why not https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action?
- eranation 6mo ago
  +1 for that, having that said, because GH agentic workflows require a bit more handholding and testing to work, (and have way more guardrails, which is great, but limiting), and lack some basic connectors (for example - last time I tried it, it had no easy slack connector, I had to do it on my own). This is why I'm moving some of the less critical gh-aw (all the read only ones) to Claude Routines.
ctoth 6mo ago
You'd think that if they were compute-limited ... Trying to get people to use it less ... The rational thing to do would be to not ship features that will use more compute automatedly? Or does this use extra usage?
- whicks 6mo ago
  I would imagine that this sort of scheduling allows them to have more predictable loads, and they may be hoping that people will schedule some of their tasks in “off hours” to reduce daytime load.
  - ctoth 6mo ago
    I thought about that but I'm pretty sure that if the backlog is automatically clean and I don't need to run my skill for that when I start up in the morning that just means I can do the next task I would have done which will probably use Claude Code. Your own, personal, Jevons.
  - andai 6mo ago
    It also beats OC's heartbeat where it auto-runs every 30 minutes and runs a bunch of prompts to see if it actually needed to run or not.
    - pkulak 6mo ago
      Man, this just bit me too. I started playing with OC over the weekend (in a VM), and the spend was INSANE even though I wasn't doing anything. I don't see this as very useful as an "assistant" that wanders around and anticipates my needs. But I do like the job system, and the ability to make skills, then run them on a schedule or in response to events. But when I looked into what it was doing behind my back, 48 times a day it was packaging up 20K tokens of silly context ("Be a good agent, be helpful, etc, for 30 paragraphs"), shipping it off to the model, and then responding with a single HEARTBEAT_OK. Luckily you can turn if off pretty easily, but I don't know why it's on by default to begin with. I guess holdover from when people used it with a $20 subscription and didn't care.
airstrike 6mo ago
Still no moat. The reason someone would use this vs. third-party alternatives is still the fact that the $200/mo subscription is markedly cheaper than per-token API billing. Not sure how this works out in the long term when switching costs are virtually zero.
- petesergeant 6mo ago
  I think at this point the aim is less about moat, and more about getting an advantage that self-sustains: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4444-1.html https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4444-1.html
- TacticalCoder 6mo ago
  > Not sure how this works out in the long term when switching costs are virtually zero. All these not really helpful, but vendor specific, "bonuses" sounds like a way to try to lock people in, to try to raise the switching cost. I'm using, on purpose, a simple process so that at any time I can switch AI provider.

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.
- mkw5053 6mo ago
  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.
  - vessenes 6mo ago
    Well, every time a calendar invite is accepted, it sets up a cron job to check in fifteen minutes before the meeting, and text me the zoom link, for instance. Once setting the cron job itself is free, you could think of a lot of use cases.
ale 6mo ago
So MCP servers all over again? I mean at the end of the day this is yet another way of injecting data into a prompt that’s fed to a model and returned back to you.
netdur 6mo ago
didn’t we have several antitrust cases where a vendor used its monopoly to disadvantage rivals? did not anthropic block openclaw?
- andai 6mo ago
  It's not blocked, you just can't use the Claude-only subscription endpoint with unauthorized 3rd party software. (You can use it via the regular API (7x more expensive) and pay per token just fine.) ...Except now you sorta-kinda can: now they auto-detect 3rd party stuff and bill you per-token for it? If I'm reading it right: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47633568 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47633568
- dmix 6mo ago
  How is Anthropic a monopoly? The market is barely even fully developed and has multiple large and small competitors
- Someone1234 6mo ago
  They did not. You can still use OpenClaw on their API pricing tier as much as you want. What they did is not allow subscriptions to be used to power automated third-party workloads, including OpenClaw. Now, is their messaging around this confusing? Absolutely. The whole thing has been handled shambolically. Everyone knows that they lack the compute to keep up, and likely have lower margins on subscriptions than API; but they cannot just say that because investors may be skittish.
nico 6mo ago
Nice, could this enable n8n-style workflows that run fully automatically then?
- outofpaper 6mo ago
  Yes but much less efficiently. Having LLMs handle automation is like using a steam engine to heat your bath water. It will work most of the time but it's super inefficient and not really designed for that use and it can go horribly wrong from time to time.
  - meetingthrower 6mo ago
    Correct. But the llm can also program you the exact automation you want! Much more efficiently than gui madness with N8N. And if you want observability just program that too!
- meetingthrower 6mo ago
  Already very possible and super easy if you do a little vibecoding. Although it will hit the api. Have a stack polling my email every five minutes, classifying email, taking action based on the types. 30 minute coding session.
andai 6mo ago
I'm a little confused on the ToS here. From what I gathered, running `claude -p <prompt>` on cron is fine, but putting it in my Telegram bot is a ToS violation (unless I use per-token billing) because it's a 3rd party harness, right? (`claude -p` being a trivial workaround for the "no 3rd party stuff on the subscription" rule) This Routines feature notably works with the subscription, and it also has API callbacks. So if my Telegram bot calls that API... do I get my Anthropic account nuked or not?
- unshavedyak 6mo ago
  Wait we can't use claude -p around other tools? What is the point of the JSON SDK then? Anthropic is confusing here, ugh. edit: And specifically i'm making an IDE, and trying to get ClaudeCode into it. I frankly have no clue when Claude usage is simply part of an IDE and "okay" and when it becomes a third party harness..
  - grafmax 6mo ago
    They’re shooting themselves in the foot with these dumb restrictions.
    - taytus 6mo ago
      They are not dumb restrictions. They just don't have the compute. That is the dumb part. Dario did not secure the compute they need so now they are obviously struggling.
      - dgellow 6mo ago
        Their growth over the past months has been more than insane. It’s completely expected they don’t have the compute. You don’t have infinite data centers around
        taytus 6mo ago
        Like or not, openai isn't having the same compute strain, meaning this was predictable.
mellosouls 6mo ago
Put Claude Code on autopilot. Define routines that run on a schedule, trigger on API calls, or react to GitHub events... We ought to come up with a term for this new discipline, eg "software engineering" or "programming"

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.
crooked-v 6mo ago
The obvious functionality that seems to be missing here is any way to organize and control these at an organization rather than individual level.

  So management can cancel all of last week’s projects when they told us all we had to be using skills because the CEO read about them in the in flight magazine. Routines are the future, baby. DevOps already made a big announcement that they’re centralizing the Routines Hub. If you can’t keep up, we’ll get someone who says they can.
- titzer 6mo ago
  Just wait until they get into the phase where they're big enough that they're eating all the baby startups and have to pick winners and losers amongst the myriad of overlapping features while also having the previous baby startups they acquired crank out new features. We're watching a speed run of growthism, folks.
eranation 6mo ago
I've been using it for a while (it was just called "Scheduled", so I assume this is an attempt to rebrand it?) It was a bit buggy, but it seems to work better now. Some use cases that worked for me: 1. Go over a slack channel used for feedback for an internal tool, triage, open issues, fix obvious ones, reply with the PR link. Some devs liked it, some freaked out. I kept it. 2. Surprisingly non code related - give me a daily rundown (GitHub activity, slack messages, emails) - tried it with non Claude Code scheduled tasks (CoWork) not as good, as it seems the GitHub connector only works in Claude Code. Really good correlation between threads that start on slack, related to email (outlook), or even my personal gmail. I can share the markdowns if anyone is interested, but it's pretty basic. Very useful, (when it works).

  Same here it just feels like something so simple, I’d rather have it under my own control. That way I can keep it independent of claude as well. I use it for all kind of routine tasks like updating the summary of projects I am working on or tracking some personal activities. My setup looks like this: https://www.dev-log.me/click_recurring_tasks_for_claude/ https://www.dev-log.me/click_recurring_tasks_for_claude/
joshstrange 6mo ago
LLMs and LLM providers are massive black boxes. I get a lot of value from them and so I can put up with that to a certain extent, but these new "products"/features that Anthropic are shipping are very unappealing to me. Not because I can't see a use-case for them, but because I have 0 trust in them: - No trust that they won't nerf the tool/model behind the feature - No trust they won't sunset the feature (the graveyard of LLM-features is vast and growing quickly while they throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks) - No trust in the company long-term. Both in them being around at all and them not rug-pulling. I don't want to build on their "platform". I'll use their harness and their models but I don't want more lock-in than that. If Anthropic goes "bad" I want to pick up and move to another harness and/or model with minimal fuss. Buying in to things like this would make that much harder. I'm not going to build my business or my development flows on things I can't replicate myself. Also, I imagine debugging any of this would be maddening. The value add is just not there IMHO. EDIT: Put another way, LLM companies are trying to climb the ladder to be a platform, I have zero interest in that, I was a "dumb pipe", I want a commodity, I want a provider, not a platform. Claude Code is as far into the dragon's lair that I want to venture and I'm only okay with that because I know I can jump to OpenCode/Codex/etc if/when Anthropic "goes bad".
- chinathrow 6mo ago
  Yeah so better to convert tokens into sw doing the job at close to zero costs running on own systems.

  I fully endorse building a custom stack (1) because you will learn a lot (2) for full control and not having Big Ai define our UX/DX for this technology. Let's learn from history this time around?
  - gritspants 6mo ago
    Here's the problem I keep running into with AI and 'history'. We all know where this is going. We'll pick our winners and losers in the interim, but so far, this is a technology that mostly impacts tech practitioners. Most people don't care, in the sense that you're a taxi driver. Perhaps you have a manual transmission and the odd person comments on your prowess with it. No one cares. I see a bunch of boys making fools out of themselves otherwise.
verdverm 6mo ago
One gripe I have with Claude Code is that the CLI, Desktop app, and apparently the Webapp have a Venn Diagram of features. Plugins (sets of skills and more) are supported in Code CLI, maybe in Cowork (custom fail to import) but not Code Desktop. Now this? The report that they are 90% Ai code generated seems more likely the more I attempt to use their products.
- bottlepalm 6mo ago
  Their source code leak showed how badly vibe coded Claude Code is, despite it being one of the best AI assistants. But yea there's some annoying overlap here with Cowork which also has scheduled tasks, in Cowork the tasks can use your desktop, browser and accounts which is pretty useful - a big difference from these Claude Code Routines.
dispencer 6mo ago
This is massive. Arguably will be the start of the move to openclaw-style AI. I bet anthropic wants to be there already but doesn't have the compute to support it yet.
- dpark 6mo ago
  What’s massive about cron jobs and webhooks? I feel like I’m missing something. This is useful functionality but also seems very straightforward.
jcims 6mo ago
Is there a consensus on whether or not we've reached Zawinski's Law?
- senko 6mo ago
  I've had an AI assistant send me email digests with local news, and another watching a cron job, analyzing the logs and sending me reports if there's any problem. I'd say that counts as yes. (For clarity: neither are powered by Claude Code Routines. Rather, Claude Code coded them and they're simple cron jobs themselves.)

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?

I wish they'd release more stuff that didn't rely on me routing all my data through their cloud to work. Obviously the LLM is cloud based but I don't want any more lock-in than that. Plus not everyone has their repositories in GitHub.
taw1285 6mo ago
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.
- hallway_monitor 6mo ago
  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.
teucris 6mo ago
My only real disappointment with Claude is its flakiness with scheduling tasks. I have several Slack related tasks that I’ve pretty much given up trying to automate - I’ve tried Cowork and Claude Code remote agents, only to find various bugs with working with plugins and connectors. I guess I’ll give this a try, but I don’t have high hopes.

Everything is big race! Each company is trying to do as much as possible, to provide as many tools as possible, to catch the wave and beat the concurrency. I remember how Antropic and OpenAI made releases in just 10-15 minutes of difference, trying to compete and gain momentum. And because they use AI heavily, they produce new product every week. So fast, that I have no time to check, does it worth or not. This one looks interesting. I have some custom commands that I execute manually weekly, for monitoring, audits, summary, reports. It it can send reports on email, or generate something that I can read in the morning with my coffee, or after I finish with it ;) it might be a good tool. The question is, do I really want to so much productive? I am already much better in performance with AI, compared with the 'old school' way... Everything is just getting to much for me.

Unrelated, but Claude was performing so tragically last few days, maybe week(s), but days mostly, that I had to reluctantly switch. Reluctantly because I enjoy it. Even the most basic stuff, like most python scripts it has to rerun because of some syntax error. The new reality of coding took away one of the best things for me - that the computer always just does what it is told to do. If the results are wrong it means I'm wrong, I made a bug and I can debug it. Here.. I'm not a hater, it's a powerful tool, but.. it's different.
- pacha3000 6mo ago
  I'm the first to be tired of everyone, for every model, that says "uuuh became dumber" because I didn't believe them ... until this week! Opus is struggling worse than Sonnet those last two weeks.
  - comboy 6mo ago
    Pretty reassuring to hear that. I was skeptical too, there's a lot of variables like some crap added to memory specific skill or custom instructions interfering with the workflow and what not. But now it was like a toddler that consumes money when talking.
    - timacles 6mo ago
      It’s quite an interesting business model actually that the worse it performs to a degree the more money it makes you because of the token churn
  - jpcompartir 6mo ago
    Likewise, I foolishly assumed everybody else was just doing it wrong. But this week I've lost count of the times I've had to say something along the lines of: "Can you check our plan/instructions, I'm pretty sure I said we need to do [this thing] but you've done [that thing]..." And get hit with a "You're absolutely right...", which virtually never happened for me. I think maybe once since Opus 4-6.

Are they going to mirror every tool software engineers were used to for decades, but in a mangled/proprietary form? I think to become really efficient they'll have to invent new programming language to eliminate all the ambiguity and non-determinism. Call it "prompt language", with ai-subroutines, ai-labels and ai-goto.
causal 6mo ago
Haven't Github-triggered LLMs already been the source of multiple prompt injection attacks? Seems bad.
cedws 6mo ago
This is the beginning of AI clouds in my estimation. Cloud services provide needed lock-in and support the push to provide higher level services over the top of models. It just makes sense, they'll never recoup the costs on just inference.

eranation 6mo ago
If anyone from anthropic reads it. I love this feature very much, when it works. And it mostly doesn't. The main bugs / missing features are 1. It loses connection to it's connectors, mostly to the slack connector. It does all the work, then says it can't connect to slack. Then when you show it a screenshot of itself with the slack connector, it will say, oh, yeah, the tools are now loaded and does the rest of the routine. 2. ability to connect it to github packages / artifactory (private packages) - or the dangerous route of allowing access to some sort of vault (with non critical dev only secrets... although it's always a risk. But cursor has it...) 3. the GitHub MCP not being able to do simple things such as update release markdown (super simple use case of creating automated release notes for example) You are so close, yet so far...

  It's remarkable how often it refuses to introspect but a SCREENSHOT of itself and suddenly "yeah this works fine". This happens in all their UIs, including, say, Claude in Excel, as well.

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.

I’m moving away from Claude for anything complicated. It’s got such nice DX but I can’t take the confident flaky results. Finding Codex on the high plan more thorough, and for any complicated project that’s what I need. Still using Claude for UX (playgrounds) and language. OpenAI has always been a little more cerebral and stern, which doesn’t suit those areas. When it tries to be friendly it comes off as someone my age trying to be a 20-something.

    That's why I mentioned `-p`. `--continue` and `--resume` are broken from `-p` sessions for the last 2 weeks. The use case is: 1. Do autonomous claudey thing (claude -p 'hey do this thing') 2. Do a deterministic thing 3. Reinvoke claude with `--continue` This no longer works. I've had this workflow in GitHub actions for months and all of a sudden they broke it. They constantly break stuff I rely on. Skill script loading was broken for weeks a couple months ago. Hooks have been broken numerous times. So tired of their lack of testing.

Seems like more vendor lock-in tactics. Not saying it doesn’t look useful, but it’s something that keeps you from ever switching off Claude. Next year, if Claude raises rates after getting bought by Google… what then? And what happens when Claude goes down and misses events that were supposed to trigger Routines? I’m not at the point where I trust them to have business-dependable uptime.

I used the claude-code-action GitHub Action to review PRs before, but it is pretty buggy e.g. PRs from forked repositories do not work, and I had to fix it myself. This should work better with Claude Code Routines. claude-code-action only works with the API and is therefore pretty expensive compared to the subscription. I think LLM reviews on PRs are helpful and will reduce the load on maintainers. I am working on OpenWrt and was approved for the Claude Code Max Open Source Program today. The cap of 15 automatic Claude Code Routines runs per day is a bit low. We get 5 to 20 new PRs per day and I would like to run it on all of them. I would also like to re-run it when authors make changes, in that case it should be sufficient to just check if the problems were addressed. Is it possible to get more runs per day, or to carry over unused ones from the last 7 days? Maybe 30 on Sonnet and 15 on Opus? When I was editing a routine, the window closed and showed an error message twice. Looks like there are still some bugs.
rahimnathwani 6mo ago
The docs list the GitHub events that can be used as triggers. This is included in the list: Push Commits are pushed to a branch But when I try to create a routine, the only GitHub events available in the drop down related to pull requests and releases. Nothing available related to pushes/commits or issues. Am I holding it wrong?

yohamta 6mo ago
Claude and Open AI seems to be trying not to be 'Just a model', but this is intrinsically problematic because model can be degraded and prices only goes up once they lock-in customers. It is increasingly important for anyone who are responsible of managing 'AI workflows' to keep the sovereignty about how you use AI models. This is why I'm super excited in building the local-first workflow orchestration software called "Dagu", that allows us to own your harness on your own. It's not only more cost-effective, but outcome is better as well because you have 100% full control. I think it's only matter of time that people notice they need to own their workflow orchestration on their own not relying on Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google.

It’s interesting to watch Ant try to ship every value-add product feature they can while they still have the SOTA model for agentic. When an open weights equivalent to Opus 4.5’s agentic capabilities comes out, I expect massive shifts of workloads away from Claude. Don’t get me wrong, I think their business model is still solid and they will be able to sell every token they can generate for the next couple years. They just won’t be critical path for AI diffusion anymore, which will be good for all sides.

Did this sort of a thing in my own macos app which can have routines with a cron, custom configs and chains of prompts. There is also more like custom VMs and models to be used for different tasks. Interesting to see larger providers trying to do the same. But their own failure is the fact that there is a limited way to configure it with other models, think 3d modelling and integrating 3d apps on a VM to work with. I believe an OSS solution is needed here, which is not too hard to do either.

MyUltiDev 6mo ago
The trigger matrix here is actually the most interesting part. Schedule plus API plus GitHub event on the same routine unlocks some nice patterns, and the /fire endpoint returning a session URL means you can wire this into alerting tools or a CD pipeline from almost anywhere. The part that is not really covered in the docs is what state a routine is supposed to recover from if a previous run died halfway through a repository change. The protection around claude/-prefixed branches helps you not clobber main, but it does not tell the next run what the previous run actually finished. I run scheduled jobs against multi step pipelines on my own infra and the failure mode that bites is not the crash, it is the run that returned success while a downstream side effect quietly broke. The /fire response returns a session URL and a session ID, which tells you the routine started, but how is a routine expected to notice when the downstream thing it kicked off (a CD pipeline, an alert follow-up, a library port PR like the one in the examples quietly fell over five minutes after the session ended?
MajorLettuce 6mo ago
Yeah the only issue is that it is a major vendor lock-in + hazy perspective, so it is essentially unfit for any "serious" processes (read: mission critical / where you have to invest time and effort). I guess you could simply copy-paste the prompt from there in case of emergency. That is, if they allow you to. Other than that it is a really neat utility and saves some time. However, I feel like there can be OpenClaw moment for this as well. Somebody simply needs to create an open-source version that supports all of the agents and models.

I've been talking to friends about this extensively, and read all sorts of different social media posts on X where people deep dove things (I'm at work so I don't have any links handy - though I did submit one on HN, grain of salt, unsure how valid it is but it was interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47752049 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47752049 ). I think the real issue stems from the 1 Million token context window change. They did not anticipate the amount of load it would give you. That first few days after they released the new token window, I was making amazing things in one single session from nothing, to something (a new .NET based programming language inspired by Python, and a Virtual Actor framework in Rust). I think since then they've been trying too many things to tweak things, whilst irritating their users. They even added a new "Max" thinking mode, and made "High" the old medium, which is ridiculous because you think you're using "High" but really you're not. There's a hidden config file to change their terrible defaults to let Claude be smarter still, and apparently you can toggle off the 1M tokens. I think the real fix, and I'm surprised nobody there has done this yet, is to let the user trim down their context window. Think about it, you used to have what? 350k tokens or so? Now Claude will keep sending your prompt from 30 minutes ago that's completely irrelevant to the back-end, whereas 3 months ago it would have been compacted by now. Others have noted that similar prompting for some ungodly reason adds tens of thousands of extra garbage tokens (not sure why). Edit looks like someone figured out that if you downgrade your version of Claude Code and change one single setting it unruins Claude: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769879
- dacox 6mo ago
  Yeah, I have been seeing lots of comments, tweets, etc, but given everything I have learned about these models - i do not think the change to 1M was innocuous. I'm not sure what they've claimed publicly, but I'm fairly certain they must be doing additional quantization, or at minimum additional quantization of the KV cache. Plus, sequence length can change things even when not fully utilized. I had to manually re-enable the "clear context and continue" feature as well.

If you’re trying this for automating things on GitHub, also take a look at Agentic Workflows: https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ They support much of the same triggers and come with many additional security controls out of the box

Why not https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action?
eranation 6mo ago
+1 for that, having that said, because GH agentic workflows require a bit more handholding and testing to work, (and have way more guardrails, which is great, but limiting), and lack some basic connectors (for example - last time I tried it, it had no easy slack connector, I had to do it on my own). This is why I'm moving some of the less critical gh-aw (all the read only ones) to Claude Routines.

ctoth 6mo ago

You'd think that if they were compute-limited ... Trying to get people to use it less ... The rational thing to do would be to not ship features that will use more compute automatedly? Or does this use extra usage?

I would imagine that this sort of scheduling allows them to have more predictable loads, and they may be hoping that people will schedule some of their tasks in “off hours” to reduce daytime load.
- ctoth 6mo ago
  I thought about that but I'm pretty sure that if the backlog is automatically clean and I don't need to run my skill for that when I start up in the morning that just means I can do the next task I would have done which will probably use Claude Code. Your own, personal, Jevons.

  It also beats OC's heartbeat where it auto-runs every 30 minutes and runs a bunch of prompts to see if it actually needed to run or not.
  - pkulak 6mo ago
    Man, this just bit me too. I started playing with OC over the weekend (in a VM), and the spend was INSANE even though I wasn't doing anything. I don't see this as very useful as an "assistant" that wanders around and anticipates my needs. But I do like the job system, and the ability to make skills, then run them on a schedule or in response to events. But when I looked into what it was doing behind my back, 48 times a day it was packaging up 20K tokens of silly context ("Be a good agent, be helpful, etc, for 30 paragraphs"), shipping it off to the model, and then responding with a single HEARTBEAT_OK. Luckily you can turn if off pretty easily, but I don't know why it's on by default to begin with. I guess holdover from when people used it with a $20 subscription and didn't care.

airstrike 6mo ago

Still no moat. The reason someone would use this vs. third-party alternatives is still the fact that the $200/mo subscription is markedly cheaper than per-token API billing. Not sure how this works out in the long term when switching costs are virtually zero.

petesergeant 6mo ago
I think at this point the aim is less about moat, and more about getting an advantage that self-sustains: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4444-1.html https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4444-1.html

Someone1234 6mo ago
They did not. You can still use OpenClaw on their API pricing tier as much as you want. What they did is not allow subscriptions to be used to power automated third-party workloads, including OpenClaw. Now, is their messaging around this confusing? Absolutely. The whole thing has been handled shambolically. Everyone knows that they lack the compute to keep up, and likely have lower margins on subscriptions than API; but they cannot just say that because investors may be skittish.

nico 6mo ago

andai 6mo ago

I'm a little confused on the ToS here. From what I gathered, running `claude -p <prompt>` on cron is fine, but putting it in my Telegram bot is a ToS violation (unless I use per-token billing) because it's a 3rd party harness, right? (`claude -p` being a trivial workaround for the "no 3rd party stuff on the subscription" rule) This Routines feature notably works with the subscription, and it also has API callbacks. So if my Telegram bot calls that API... do I get my Anthropic account nuked or not?

unshavedyak 6mo ago
Wait we can't use claude -p around other tools? What is the point of the JSON SDK then? Anthropic is confusing here, ugh. edit: And specifically i'm making an IDE, and trying to get ClaudeCode into it.

I've been using it for a while (it was just called "Scheduled", so I assume this is an attempt to rebrand it?) It was a bit buggy, but it seems to work better now. Some use cases that worked for me: 1. Go over a slack channel used for feedback for an internal tool, triage, open issues, fix obvious ones, reply with the PR link. Some devs liked it, some freaked out. I kept it. 2. Surprisingly non code related - give me a daily rundown (GitHub activity, slack messages, emails) - tried it with non Claude Code scheduled tasks (CoWork) not as good, as it seems the GitHub connector only works in Claude Code. Really good correlation between threads that start on slack, related to email (outlook), or even my personal gmail. I can share the markdowns if anyone is interested, but it's pretty basic. Very useful, (when it works).

LLMs and LLM providers are massive black boxes. I get a lot of value from them and so I can put up with that to a certain extent, but these new "products"/features that Anthropic are shipping are very unappealing to me. Not because I can't see a use-case for them, but because I have 0 trust in them: - No trust that they won't nerf the tool/model behind the feature - No trust they won't sunset the feature (the graveyard of LLM-features is vast and growing quickly while they throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks) - No trust in the company long-term. Both in them being around at all and them not rug-pulling. I don't want to build on their "platform". I'll use their harness and their models but I don't want more lock-in than that. If Anthropic goes "bad" I want to pick up and move to another harness and/or model with minimal fuss. Buying in to things like this would make that much harder. I'm not going to build my business or my development flows on things I can't replicate myself. Also, I imagine debugging any of this would be maddening. The value add is just not there IMHO. EDIT: Put another way, LLM companies are trying to climb the ladder to be a platform, I have zero interest in that, I was a "dumb pipe", I want a commodity, I want a provider, not a platform. Claude Code is as far into the dragon's lair that I want to venture and I'm only okay with that because I know I can jump to OpenCode/Codex/etc if/when Anthropic "goes bad".

  Here's the problem I keep running into with AI and 'history'. We all know where this is going.

Perhaps you have a manual transmission and the odd person comments on your prowess with it. No one cares. I see a bunch of boys making fools out of themselves otherwise.

One gripe I have with Claude Code is that the CLI, Desktop app, and apparently the Webapp have a Venn Diagram of features. Plugins (sets of skills and more) are supported in Code CLI, maybe in Cowork (custom fail to import) but not Code Desktop. Now this? The report that they are 90% Ai code generated seems more likely the more I attempt to use their products.

bottlepalm 6mo ago
Their source code leak showed how badly vibe coded Claude Code is, despite it being one of the best AI assistants. But yea there's some annoying overlap here with Cowork which also has scheduled tasks, in Cowork the tasks can use your desktop, browser and accounts which is pretty useful - a big difference from these Claude Code Routines.

dispencer 6mo ago

This is massive. Arguably will be the start of the move to openclaw-style AI. I bet anthropic wants to be there already but doesn't have the compute to support it yet.

I've had an AI assistant send me email digests with local news, and another watching a cron job, analyzing the logs and sending me reports if there's any problem. I'd say that counts as yes.

My only real disappointment with Claude is its flakiness with scheduling tasks.

Everything is big race! Each company is trying to do as much as possible, to provide as many tools as possible, to catch the wave and beat the concurrency. I remember how Antropic and OpenAI made releases in just 10-15 minutes of difference, trying to compete and gain momentum. And because they use AI heavily, they produce new product every week. So fast, that I have no time to check, does it worth or not. This one looks interesting. I have some custom commands that I execute manually weekly, for monitoring, audits, summary, reports. It it can send reports on email, or generate something that I can read in the morning with my coffee, or after I finish with it ;) it might be a good tool. The question is, do I really want to so much productive? I am already much better in performance with AI, compared with the 'old school' way... Everything is just getting to much for me.

Unrelated, but Claude was performing so tragically last few days, maybe week(s), but days mostly, that I had to reluctantly switch. Reluctantly because I enjoy it. Even the most basic stuff, like most python scripts it has to rerun because of some syntax error. The new reality of coding took away one of the best things for me - that the computer always just does what it is told to do. If the results are wrong it means I'm wrong, I made a bug and I can debug it. Here.. I'm not a hater, it's a powerful tool, but.. it's different.

Are they going to mirror every tool software engineers were used to for decades, but in a mangled/proprietary form?

If anyone from anthropic reads it. I love this feature very much, when it works. And it mostly doesn't. The main bugs / missing features are 1. It loses connection to it's connectors, mostly to the slack connector. It does all the work, then says it can't connect to slack. Then when you show it a screenshot of itself with the slack connector, it will say, oh, yeah, the tools are now loaded and does the rest of the routine. 2. ability to connect it to github packages / artifactory (private packages) - or the dangerous route of allowing access to some sort of vault (with non critical dev only secrets... although it's always a risk. But cursor has it...) 3. the GitHub MCP not being able to do simple things such as update release markdown (super simple use case of creating automated release notes for example) You are so close, yet so far...

I’m moving away from Claude for anything complicated. It’s got such nice DX but I can’t take the confident flaky results. Finding Codex on the high plan more thorough, and for any complicated project that’s what I need. Still using Claude for UX (playgrounds) and language. OpenAI has always been a little more cerebral and stern, which doesn’t suit those areas. When it tries to be friendly it comes off as someone my age trying to be a 20-something.

  That's why I mentioned `-p`. `--continue` and `--resume` are broken from `-p` sessions for the last 2 weeks. The use case is: 1. Do autonomous claudey thing (claude -p 'hey do this thing') 2. Do a deterministic thing 3. Reinvoke claude with `--continue` This no longer works. I've had this workflow in GitHub actions for months and all of a sudden they broke it. They constantly break stuff I rely on. Skill script loading was broken for weeks a couple months ago. Hooks have been broken numerous times. So tired of their lack of testing.

Seems like more vendor lock-in tactics. Not saying it doesn’t look useful, but it’s something that keeps you from ever switching off Claude.

I used the claude-code-action GitHub Action to review PRs before, but it is pretty buggy e.g. PRs from forked repositories do not work, and I had to fix it myself. This should work better with Claude Code Routines. claude-code-action only works with the API and is therefore pretty expensive compared to the subscription. I think LLM reviews on PRs are helpful and will reduce the load on maintainers. I am working on OpenWrt and was approved for the Claude Code Max Open Source Program today. The cap of 15 automatic Claude Code Routines runs per day is a bit low. We get 5 to 20 new PRs per day and I would like to run it on all of them. I would also like to re-run it when authors make changes, in that case it should be sufficient to just check if the problems were addressed. Is it possible to get more runs per day, or to carry over unused ones from the last 7 days? Maybe 30 on Sonnet and 15 on Opus? When I was editing a routine, the window closed and showed an error message twice. Looks like there are still some bugs.

The docs list the GitHub events that can be used as triggers. This is included in the list: Push Commits are pushed to a branch But when I try to create a routine, the only GitHub events available in the drop down related to pull requests and releases.

yohamta 6mo ago

Claude and Open AI seems to be trying not to be 'Just a model', but this is intrinsically problematic because model can be degraded and prices only goes up once they lock-in customers. It is increasingly important for anyone who are responsible of managing 'AI workflows' to keep the sovereignty about how you use AI models. This is why I'm super excited in building the local-first workflow orchestration software called "Dagu", that allows us to own your harness on your own. It's not only more cost-effective, but outcome is better as well because you have 100% full control. I think it's only matter of time that people notice they need to own their workflow orchestration on their own not relying on Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google.

It’s interesting to watch Ant try to ship every value-add product feature they can while they still have the SOTA model for agentic. When an open weights equivalent to Opus 4.5’s agentic capabilities comes out, I expect massive shifts of workloads away from Claude. Don’t get me wrong, I think their business model is still solid and they will be able to sell every token they can generate for the next couple years. They just won’t be critical path for AI diffusion anymore, which will be good for all sides.

Did this sort of a thing in my own macos app which can have routines with a cron, custom configs and chains of prompts. There is also more like custom VMs and models to be used for different tasks. Interesting to see larger providers trying to do the same. But their own failure is the fact that there is a limited way to configure it with other models, think 3d modelling and integrating 3d apps on a VM to work with. I believe an OSS solution is needed here, which is not too hard to do either.

MyUltiDev 6mo ago

The trigger matrix here is actually the most interesting part. Schedule plus API plus GitHub event on the same routine unlocks some nice patterns, and the /fire endpoint returning a session URL means you can wire this into alerting tools or a CD pipeline from almost anywhere. The part that is not really covered in the docs is what state a routine is supposed to recover from if a previous run died halfway through a repository change. The protection around claude/-prefixed branches helps you not clobber main, but it does not tell the next run what the previous run actually finished. I run scheduled jobs against multi step pipelines on my own infra and the failure mode that bites is not the crash, it is the run that returned success while a downstream side effect quietly broke. The /fire response returns a session URL and a session ID, which tells you the routine started, but how is a routine expected to notice when the downstream thing it kicked off (a CD pipeline, an alert follow-up, a library port PR like the one in the examples quietly fell over five minutes after the session ended?

MajorLettuce 6mo ago

Yeah the only issue is that it is a major vendor lock-in + hazy perspective, so it is essentially unfit for any "serious" processes (read: mission critical / where you have to invest time and effort). I guess you could simply copy-paste the prompt from there in case of emergency. That is, if they allow you to. Other than that it is a really neat utility and saves some time. However, I feel like there can be OpenClaw moment for this as well. Somebody simply needs to create an open-source version that supports all of the agents and models.
