continuous-claude

Open-source orchestrator that runs Claude Code or Codex in a continuous loop — creating PRs, waiting for checks, and merging — with budget, time, and iteration caps.

Key capabilities

Caps: --max-runs (0 = infinite), --max-cost (USD), --max-duration (e.g. 2h)

Reviewer pass with --review-prompt and a separate --review-provider

Parallel git worktrees: --worktree, --worktree-base-dir, --cleanup-worktree

Early stop via --completion-signal / --completion-threshold; --stall-threshold on repeated failures

Rate control: --max-calls-per-hour; merge via --merge-strategy (squash/merge/rebase)

Best for

PR babysitting and CI repair

Long multi-iteration coding loops

Parallel work via git worktrees

Not for

Auto-merge without human review

Non-GitHub forges (GitHub PR automation only)

Risk notes

Supports infinite loops (--max-runs 0) — always set --max-cost, --max-duration, or --max-runs.

Repository permissions and auto-merge behaviors require strong safety gates and human approval before merge.

This is a community project. Verify maturity, licensing, permissions, and safety behavior before relying on it in production.
