Keep Claude Code running overnight with one prompt: sleep note plus Slack updates

Jarred Sumner shares his favorite way to keep Claude running overnight without /loop or /goal: tell it something like "I'm going to sleep, and when I wake up I would love to see X result. Post frequent updates to <Slack channel> as you make progress."
The trick is stating both a clear goal and a fixed reporting channel, so the agent keeps working unattended while its progress stays visible and auditable.
