Getting Claude Code to do work for you with /loop and skills + python scripts
My Courses are here: https://edwarddonner.com/curriculum/
The 2nd one is on all things Claude Code & Coding Agents.
This is a quick demo of some useful features of Claude Code.
Clone the repo from your projects directory:
git clone https://github.com/ed-donner/pounce.git
If you don't have uv installed:

I use the simple tool Pushover to send push notifications. A little bit of setup but a lot of value! I make a ton of use of this. 5 steps to set up:
1. Visit https://pushover.net/
2. Create an account
3. On the dashboard, copy your "User Key" (top right) and put it in a .env file
PUSHOVER_USER=u...
4. On the dashboard, by Your Applications, click "Create an Application/API Token" , create an Application, and then copy the "API Token/Key" and put it in the .env file:
PUSHOVER_TOKEN=a...
5. On the dashboard, click "Add Phone, Tablet or Desktop" and follow the instructions.
That's it! Let me know any problems.
Here is my prompt to Claude Code:
/loop 10m "Read the front page of Hacker News and use your skill to notify me of any new stories about LLMs"
(The first time, you have to give Claude Code permission to run the script and to look up Hacker News on the web).
Run this to stop the loop:
/loop --cancel
And note that the loop only runs while the Claude Code session is active; exit Claude and the loop stops.
I can't wait to hear about how you make use of /loop..
