Move repetitive work into Claude Code loops

Replace manual prompt-test-review cycles with /loop (time-triggered), /goal (condition-triggered), or Claude-designed workflows that run autonomously while you ship other code.

Summary

You're already running loops manually—checking tests, copying feedback back to Claude, pushing commits. Moving that sequence into agent-controlled iterations recovers hours per week and lets you stay in your main branch while Claude handles PR reviews, test fixes, or queue processing on a cadence.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces manual copy-paste feedback loops. Requires Claude Code + git worktrees for parallel safety. Ready now—/loop and /goal are shipping primitives in Claude Code. Start with watched PRs (/loop watching review comments) or failing test suites (/goal with pass/lint conditions). Worktrees essential if running multiple loops to avoid branch conflicts.

1.I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops that are running. They're the ones prompting Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops.
2.agents can now run code themselves and delegate hours of work to other agents
3.The human role is shifting from doing to designing the loop
4./loop runs a prompt on a repeating schedule. Claude wakes up, does something, reports back, and goes again
5./goal sets a condition and Claude keeps working until a separate model confirms it is met
