Boris Cherny runs Claude Code at Anthropic. His line should stop you mid-scroll: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figure out what to do. My job is to write loops." The skill moved. From writing prompts to building the loop around them.... A loop that works has three things. Drop one and it burns money in circles. 1. A finish line it can prove. Tests pass or they fail. "Looks done" is not a finish line. 2. A checker that did not write the code. A model grading itself always says yes. 3. Brakes set before you start. A step limit. A money ceiling. A stop condition. That is the whole game. The loop does the work. You design the cage it runs in. Full breakdown below.show more

Boris Cherny, Head of Claude Code at Anthropic: "I do not prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude. My job is to write loops." The person who built the most used AI coding tool stopped prompting entirely. Most people using it every day are still typing one request at a time. This Github repo changes that. ↳ Seven production loop patterns with real token cost estimates ↳ CLI that scaffolds your entire loop in five minutes ↳ Starters for Grok, Claude Code, Codex, and Opencode The repo gives you the framework. My article covers the mental shift that makes it actually work.

$Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code at Anthropic: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops that are running; they are the ones prompting Claude and figuring out what to do. My job is to write loops." He's right. Karpathy and Steinberger arrived at the same conclusion from different angles. The skill has a new name. Loop engineering. Cherny's token bill is zero. He works at Anthropic. Steinberger burned $1.3 million in OpenAI credits in 30 days. He works at OpenAI. Loops are the right architecture. But the people evangelizing them aren't the ones paying. I wrote a breakdown of five plays that land most of what a loop gives you at a fraction of the cost, plus the one case where a loop is worth paying for.$

Creator and head of Claude Code, Anthropic: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and decide what to do. My job is to write loops." He hasn't hand-written a line of code since November. 100% is Claude Code now. Still ships 10 to 30 pull requests a day. He breaks down his actual workflow in the 1h28m podcast. Loops writing 100% of the code. Engineer leveling up, or automated out?

Boris Cherny (Claude Code creator): "I don't prompt Claude anymore... my job is to write loops." In his latest interview, he breaks down the setup step by step. He runs /loops + a dynamic workflow + a couple hundred agents that read his GitHub, Slack, and Twitter and decide what to build next. His only job now is writing the loops that orchestrate them. That's a multi-agent workflow. I broke down how to build your own below ↓

Boris Cherny, the engineer who built Claude Code: "I don't talk to an agent anymore. I talk to a loop" a prompt is one instruction you babysit. a loop is a goal the AI works toward on its own: > it plans > does the work > checks itself > fixes what's weak > and repeats until it's done you step out, the work keeps going that's the shift the best engineers quietly moved to. most people hear a line like that and have no idea what it means in practice this breaks it down without the hype: what a loop actually is, when it's worth building, when it's a money trap, and how to run one yourself today watch his clip, then read the article below

The creator of Claude Code deleted his IDE in November 2024. In the last 30 days, 100% of his contributions were written by Claude Code. 259 PRs. His job is not prompting anymore. His job is writing loops that prompt Claude for him. Here is what that progression actually looks like: → stage 1: write code by hand with autocomplete → stage 2: run 5-10 claude sessions in parallel, prompt each one yourself → stage 3: write loops that prompt claude — you become the author, the model becomes a subroutine → the ralph loop (2025): bash one-liner, fixed anchor files, built a programming language for $297 → the 2026 loop: loops supervising loops, scheduling on infrastructure time, git-backed durable state → five building blocks: automations, durable state, validator split, loop orchestration, crash recovery Most developers are still in stage 2, prompting sessions by hand. The ones at stage 3 are writing the loops that do the prompting for them. Read this article to be ahead of the curve!

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained why he stopped prompting Claude entirely in this talk he breaks down exactly how the future is teams of agents, not better prompts: - the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word - the features that change how Claude thinks before you type a word - the features most Claude users don't know exist - why typing prompts one at a time is already the slow lane Boris Cherny: "Now I don’t prompt Claude anymore - I have loops that are running. My job is to write loops." if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you have at least 23 untouched features. probably 25 instead of another show tonight, watch this make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed my breakdown of all 25 features is below

Anthropic's Boris Cherny says coding is moving to a higher level of abstraction A year ago, the workflow was writing code in an IDE, then prompting multiple Claude instances in parallel. Now, it is writing loops that prompt Claude and figure out what to do "the next transition is coming this year"

THE GUY RUNNING CLAUDE CODE AT ANTHROPIC JUST SAID HE DOESN’T PROMPT AI ANYMORE. He writes loops. That’s a huge difference. A prompt tells Claude what to do once. A loop gives Claude a goal. Then Claude keeps checking its own work… Finding mistakes. Writing its next prompt. Trying again. Over and over… Until it actually reaches the target you defined. But here’s what most people miss. A loop is only as smart as the context you give it. That’s exactly why Claude Repositories matter. I broke down how to connect your entire codebase so Claude can actually reason across your project instead of a single file. Full guide below

Old way of using Claude Code: Prompt → wait → review → prompt → wait → review → repeat 20 times. You are the loop. You are the condition check. You are the reason it keeps going. New way: /goal all tests pass and lint is clean Claude works. You do something else. You come back to a result. Here's exactly how to set it up — and how to write conditions that actually work ↓

Boris Cherny: "My job is to write loops." 5-day version you can copy for Claude Code Day 1: repo memory - write CLAUDE.md - include stack, test commands, code style, release rules, gotchas - add .claude/settings.json with the shell commands Claude can run Day 2: verification skill - pick 1 flow Claude keeps breaking - put the browser/API test in .claude/skills/ /scripts/ - make it return: pass/fail, failing step, screenshot/log path Day 3: commands Add these files: .claude/commands/babysit.md - checks your PRs - reads CI - handles obvious review nits - surfaces design questions .claude/commands/triage-issues.md - labels new issues - dedupes against existing ones - assigns owners .claude/commands/deploy-watch.md - checks the live app - reports regressions - avoids touching production Day 4: loops > /loop 5m /babysit > /loop 15m /triage-issues > /loop 5m /deploy-watch Day 5: overnight work - schedule /morning-report - schedule /deep-audit - write results to .claude/inbox/ - let your morning loop read from that folder The rule: every code-writing loop gets a separate verifier. Builder makes the change. Verifier runs the real app. You read the diff. Skip that and you wake up to 14 broken PRs with very confident summaries.

boris cherny shipped 259 PRs in 30 days and typed none of them. claude code wrote every line. peter steinberger said the same idea this week and it hit 2.2M views. one built claude code at anthropic. one built openclaw and joined openai. opposite labs, one conclusion: stop prompting agents, write the loops that prompt them. the replies are still arguing about what a loop even looks like in practice. i went looking for the built version. it's a multi-agent workspace manager called gas town: a coordinator agent runs 20-30 workers and a merge queue gates every change before it hits main. the philosophy fit in two tweets. the implementation has 15k stars.
