Claude Code now has cloud automation and session movement features.

Routines are saved Claude Code configurations that can run on schedules, API calls, or GitHub events. They execute on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure, so treat them like hosted automation, not like a local terminal sitting open on your laptop.

For local repetition, /loop can run a prompt repeatedly while the session stays open. For hosted automation, /schedule can create scheduled cloud work when web features are enabled. /workflows opens the progress view for running or completed workflows, /web-setup connects GitHub for web and cloud workflows using your local gh credentials, /teleport can pull a web session back into a local terminal, and claude --cloud can send suitable local work to the web environment.

The main decision is where the work should run: locally when it needs your machine, or in the cloud when a hosted environment is the better fit.
