Been using Claude Code pretty heavily the last couple months and the interactive loop is great for actual coding sessions, but I kept wanting something that could just… keep going on the boring recurring stuff without me sitting there approving every step. Tried a few different approaches:
- Claude Code behind a simple cron + state file (the classic “keep going” script pattern). Works, but memory and failure recovery are basically DIY. -herdctl – nice if you want a proper fleet manager specifically for Claude Code (schedules, Discord/Slack, etc.). -Hermes and OpenClaw for the more general personal-agent side of things (memory + self-improving skills). -aeon (aeon.fun / github.com/aeonfun/aeon). It’s built to drive Claude Code as the harness, but the whole thing lives in a GitHub repo and runs on Actions. You configure skills once, push, and it just ticks on a schedule. Self-healing loop, persistent memory across runs, no constant approval prompts. Curious what the rest of you are doing for longer-running / background Claude Code work. submitted by /u/amu4biz
