Automation
Four ways to schedule or trigger Claude Code tasks, with OpenClaw equivalents.
1. /loop - In-session recurring tasks
Run a task repeatedly within a single Claude Code session.
/loop Run /health-check every 30 minutes
Best for: Monitoring during active work sessions, watch loops, polling.
OpenClaw equivalent: HEARTBEAT.md pattern - agent checks a file on each tick
and executes tasks listed there.
2. CronCreate - Claude Code built-in cron
Claude Code can create system crontab entries directly via the CronCreate tool.
# In a Claude Code session:
Create a cron job that runs /daily-briefing every day at 7 AM
Claude calls CronCreate and writes the entry to your system crontab.
List with CronList, remove with CronDelete.
Best for: Simple recurring tasks, no manual crontab editing. OpenClaw equivalent: OpenClaw's scheduler daemon with task definitions in config.
3. /schedule - Remote triggers via claude.ai/code
Trigger Claude Code runs remotely through claude.ai/code using the RemoteTrigger
tool or the web interface.
Best for: Event-driven automation, triggering from external systems. OpenClaw equivalent: OpenClaw's webhook receiver (listens on a local port).
4. launchd - macOS native scheduler
More reliable than cron on macOS. Survives sleep/wake cycles, logs stdout/stderr, and integrates with the macOS service manager.
See daily-briefing.sh and launchd-example.plist in this directory.
# Install:
cp launchd-example.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.claude-briefing.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.claude-briefing.plist
Best for: Production schedules on Mac, anything that needs to survive reboots. OpenClaw equivalent: Same - OpenClaw also recommends launchd on macOS for its daemon process.
