Claude Routines - Automate Tasks Directly in Claude

If you haven't seen, Claude recently launched routines.

You can now automate respetitive tasks in Claude.

How to use

You can only use routines in Claude code (but Claude code is as simple to use as cowork)
Routines can be local (need your computer on to run), or remote in the cloud via Github
FIrst perform a task manually prompting Claude. For example, taking project data and generating a report
Then say to Claude "I want you to capture this workflow as a .skill"
Create a GIthub repo, link it to Claude with that .skill file
Then create a routine that says "Run the skill in this repo"

It sounds complex, but its actually very simple. Github is just a cloud file storage platform you link to Claude.

I did a quick demo explaining. I have a longer one coming.
