Watch Claude Catch Bugs and Ship Fixes Automatically

You went to lunch. CI broke. Build 4291 failed. Five minutes later, Claude shipped the fix. Here's how — and how to do it with any skill you build. This is Episode 1 of "Hands-Free Claude" — a series on building Claude skills that run themselves. Every episode demos a real skill against a real GitHub repo. No deck slides. No imagined output. Open the sandbox repo, see the actual /watch-ci runs, the actual PRs, the actual log. What you'll learn: - The two building blocks of hands-free Claude: a skill (a folder with one SKILL.md file) and a loop (any interval) - The shape of a SKILL.md — frontmatter (name, description, triggers), instructions, tools - /loop is the universal cron for Claude — 5 minutes, 1 hour, every Monday — whatever cadence you choose - Build /watch-ci in one prompt — Claude generates the SKILL.md, you save it, you test it - Wrap it in /loop and it becomes a recurring agent that catches broken builds, drafts patches, opens PRs — without you - Three more pairings of the same pattern: /pr-audit (every morning), /inbox-triage (every 30 minutes), /log-monitor (every 5 minutes) Real artifact: The sandbox repo at github.com/amplify-imagination/skill-demo-sandbox runs /watch-ci on an hourly loop. Real GitHub Actions builds. Real failures. Real auto-drafted PRs. Fork it and watch the same skill work on your machine.
