Module Build Autonomous Workflows with Claude Code
Type Live

Learn to automate Claude Code subagent execution using native operating system schedulers. Configure Windows Task Scheduler and macOS cron jobs to run subagents on recurring schedules, implement error handling and notifications, and understand when scheduled execution is appropriate versus on-demand triggers. Students will schedule one of their existing Claude Code subagents to run automatically.

Objectives

  • Configure OS-level scheduling (Windows Task Scheduler or macOS cron) to execute Claude Code subagents automatically
  • Implement error handling and notification mechanisms for scheduled subagent runs
  • Evaluate which workflows benefit from scheduled execution versus on-demand triggers
  • Test and verify scheduled subagent execution with proper logging and output capture
