Boris Cherny just quietly showed you where software engineering is going, and most people are focused on the wrong thing.
/loop is a new feature in Claude Code that lets you schedule recurring tasks for up to three days.
Most reactions treat it like a simple cron-style scheduler: set a task, repeat it, done. That interpretation misses the real shift.
The signal is in the examples Boris used. One example was essentially: monitor all my pull requests, automatically resolve build failures, and when review comments appear, spin up an agent in a worktree to address them.
That’s not just scheduling tasks. It’s handing off an entire engineering workflow to an autonomous system that continuously observes, evaluates, and acts across multiple repositories.
The three-day expiration limit is revealing as well. Anthropic likely added that boundary because developers will forget these loops are running. That suggests internal teams have already run persistent autonomous agents long enough for “cleanup” and lifecycle management to become necessary concerns. Safeguards like that usually appear only after real-world behavior exposes the need.
Boris himself reportedly ships 20–30 pull requests a day while running five parallel instances of Claude. His team also maintains a CLAUDE.md file that evolves over time—each mistake becomes a rule that improves how the agent behaves.
Now combine that with /loop: the agent doesn’t just act when prompted. It monitors the codebase, reacts to events, and performs tasks independently—even when the developer isn’t present.
This moves Claude Code from being a tool a developer operates to something closer to a colleague handling a second shift.
The Slack MCP example reinforces that direction. /loop isn’t limited to the code repository—it can interact with the broader work environment as well.
The organizations thinking ahead aren’t debating whether /loop is a better scheduler. They’re asking a different question: if one engineer can supervise five autonomous agents that monitor, repair, and ship code around the clock, what will a ten-person engineering team look like a year from now?
Released today: /loop
/loop is a powerful new way to schedule recurring tasks, for up to 3 days at a time
eg. “/loop babysit all my PRs. Auto-fix build issues and when comments come in, use a worktree agent to fix them”
eg. “/loop every morning use the Slack MCP to give me a summary of top posts I was tagged in”

Several US military aircraft crashed this morning in Kuwait, according to a Kuwait Army statement.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense said “several United States military aircraft crashed” on Monday and that “all crew members survived.”
The statement comes after videos geolocated by CNN showed a fighter jet crashing in Kuwait and a pilot parachuting to the ground.
CNN has reached out to US Central Command for comment.
“Relevant authorities immediately initiated search-and-rescue operations,” Kuwait’s defense ministry spokesperson Col. Said Al-Atwan said in the statement.
“The crews were evacuating from the crash sites and transferred to hospital to assess their condition and provided necessary medical care,” he said.
The crew members are in a “stable” condition, the ministry added.
Al-Atwan said Kuwait was in “direct coordination” with US authorities.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
