## What it is
A shell-based CLI tool that runs Claude Code in a continuous loop, autonomously creating branches, pull requests, waiting for CI checks, and merging. It persists context across iterations so long-running, multi-step coding tasks can complete without exhausting the context window.

## Use cases
- raise test coverage from 0% to 80% autonomously overnight
- run Claude Code in a loop on large multi-step refactors
- automate PR creation, CI monitoring, and merging with an AI agent
- tackle large coding projects that exceed a single AI session's context
- schedule continuous AI coding agent runs against a GitHub repo

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and want long-running autonomous coding sessions
- you want AI-generated changes gated by CI checks and PRs
- you need persistent context across many agent iterations

## When to avoid
- you need human review of every AI-generated change
- your project does not use GitHub pull request workflows
- you are uncomfortable with agents running with permissions skipped

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, ci-cd, developer-tools, workflow-automation
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli
