Compatibility note (v1.8.0): autonomous-loops is retained for one release. The canonical skill name is now continuous-agent-loop. New loop guidance should be authored there, while this skill remains available to avoid breaking existing workflows. Patterns, architectures, and reference implementations for running Claude Code autonomously in loops. Covers everything from simple claude -p pipelines to full RFC-driven multi-agent DAG orchestration. Setting up autonomous development workflows that run without human intervention Choosing the right loop architecture for your problem (simple vs complex) Building CI/CD-style continuous development pipelines Running parallel agents with merge coordination Implementing context persistence across loop iterations Adding quality gates and cleanup passes to autonomous workflows From simplest to most sophisticated: | Pattern | Complexity | Best For | |---------|-----------|----------| | Sequential Pipeline | Low | Daily dev steps, scripted workflows | | NanoClaw REPL | Low | Interactive persistent sessions | | Infinite Agentic Loop | Medium | Parallel content generation, spec-driven work | | Continuous Claude PR Loop | Medium | Multi-day iterative
