Summary

Anthropic published four types of loops for Claude Code to operate autonomously: turn-based, goal-based, time-based, and proactive, allowing different levels of task handoff.

You don't understand how BIG this is. Anthropic just published the 4 ways to make Claude Code work without you. Everyone on X has been arguing about what a "loop" actually is. The team that built the tool just gave the official answer: an agent repeating cycles of work until a stop condition is met. Only 4 types exist, and each one hands off a different piece of your job: → Turn-based: hands off the checking. Skills verify the work end to end → Goal-based: hands off the stop condition. /goal keeps it going until done is DONE → Time-based: hands off the trigger. /loop 5m fixes your PR while you work → Proactive: hands off the prompt itself. It runs while you sleep Prompting was the skill of 2025. Designing loops is the skill of 2026. Bookmark this.

Prompting was the skill of 2025. Designing loops is the skill of 2026.
