Practice — Claude Code Scheduled Tasks and Remote Agents (11 questions)

For each scenario below, name the single best-fit mechanism from this subject (/loop, /goal, a desktop scheduled task, a cloud routine, or Remote Control) and justify the choice against the others that might seem plausible:

1. You're actively reviewing a PR in your terminal right now and want Claude to keep re-checking CI status and addressing new review comments for the next hour or so, without you retyping a prompt every few minutes.
2. Every weekday morning, regardless of whether your laptop is even open, you want a summary of overnight production error-rate anomalies posted to Slack.
3. You kicked off a large refactor at your desk before heading out, and from your phone on the train you want to check progress and, if needed, redirect Claude without losing anything it's already done.
4. You're migrating 40 files to a new API and want Claude to keep working, turn after turn, until every call site compiles and the full test suite passes — without you having to confirm "keep going" after each file.

Design a cloud routine that posts a morning briefing to Slack every weekday at 7am, summarizing: new GitHub issues opened since the last run, any PR that's been open more than 3 days without a review, and a one-line status on the previous night's CI runs on main.

1. Specify the trigger configuration (type, cadence, timezone handling) and the repositories/connectors this routine needs.
2. Write the actual prompt text you'd save for this routine. Be specific about what "self-contained" requires here, given that a routine has no approval prompts and nothing to clarify ambiguity at run time.
3. Describe the review path: given that a green run status only means the process didn't crash, what do you actually do each morning (or set up in advance) to know whether the briefing itself was correct and complete, not just that it ran?

You start /loop 30m check the deploy and then never touch the session again — you don't stop it, and Claude never judges the work done.

What eventually happens to the recurring task?

You want a cloud routine to fire every 15 minutes to check for a condition.

Can you configure that?

Remote Control lets you drive a Claude Code session running on your laptop from your phone, with no port-forwarding or firewall rule configured on your end.

Mechanically, how does that connection actually work?
