Every time I try to have my sessions work overnight, i set a /goal with specific goals and /loop for every 30min-1.5hr depending on the task. But every time I try to have it act autonomously it finds a reason to not work. Last night it told me that it understood the goal (app and server testing for client use) and I set the loop and it took it. And then when I revisited it 10 hours later, it had decided it didn’t know if it was a “cloud loop” or a “session loop,” so it actually had just left that question prompt open for 10 hours and had done nothing. Every time I try to set this kind of autonomous work something happens. Even if the loop works a few times, the session decides itself that it has reached the goal and disables to loop itself - only for me to discover that it had not met the goal. I have looked into forums, youtube videos, etc for answers but I don’t know how to overcome the session just being stupid despite me only using opus 5 or fable. I understand that, of course, these are just tools and it is on the user to use them correctly, so I am begging all of you good people here to help me understand how to do this correctly. I’m sure your answers will be relevant to many people searching for these questions as well. Thank you. submitted by /u/bepnc13
