Run agents on triggers with Claude Code Routines (scheduled, webhook, or GitHub event)

HatchWorks·medium signal

Anthropic shipped Routines and Scheduled Tasks that let an agent run on a cadence (hourly/daily/weekly) or fire from an API webhook or GitHub event, with full access to connected tools and Skills — no separate cron+glue scripts. This turns 'I built a cron job that runs my agents every morning' into a first-party, observable primitive with three trigger types. Replace brittle launchd/cron wrappers with a Routine so scheduling, tool access, and skill availability live in one declarative place and survive machine moves.
