When Claude Code Runs for Hours
The Ralph Loop technique — a trick for making AI Coding Agents automatically repeat execution — was popular last year, but I didn’t trust whether it was safe enough or sufficiently stable.
A few months ago, Claude Code’s update introduced the /loop skill, which essentially uses Claude Code’s built-in Cron tool to repeat specific prompts at fixed intervals, achieving a similar effect. At least it’s safer and more controllable.
However, things are rarely that simple.
