Long-Running Agent Workflows in Claude Code
petergyang · x · 2026-07-19
This episode features Thariq from the Claude Code team, focusing on how he uses /loop, /goal, and workflows to keep agents running for extended periods. The discussion covers the differences between these modes, a live demo of editing and publishing a video using Claude, and leveraging HTML artifacts for planning and learning.
Key takeaways include the fact that system prompts have been slashed by 80% because smarter models require fewer constraints, and that planning is inherently an iterative process of exploration, investigation, and discovering the unknown. Additionally, a common failure mode is users hastily skimming the AI's plan, whereas plans actually require careful reading.
