🚀 Claude Code Routines API Launch: Cloud automation with HTTP triggers

[claude-yolo]

WHY This Matters

Claude Code just launched Routines - a major new automation feature that lets external systems trigger Claude Code sessions via API.

Key Features

• Always-on cloud execution: Runs on Anthropic infrastructure, no local machine required
• HTTP API endpoint: POST /v1/claude_code/routines/{id}/fire with bearer token auth
• Multi-trigger support: Schedule + GitHub events + API calls in one routine
• CI/CD integration: Perfect for triggering on test failures, alerts, deployments

Why Users Should Care

This bridges the gap between Claude Code's interactive coding and production automation. Now you can:

• Auto-fix failing CI pipelines
• Respond to production alerts with code changes
• Schedule maintenance tasks that run unattended
• Trigger code reviews from external systems
