Autonomous AI development loop for Claude Code with intelligent exit detection
This tool automates the process of software development by having an AI, specifically Claude Code, iteratively write and improve code for your project. You provide the initial project idea or requirements, and it continuously generates and refines code until your goals are met. This is ideal for solo developers, small teams, or anyone looking to accelerate their coding projects with AI assistance.
About claude-code-runner
rcrsr/claude-code-runner
Deterministic, scripted, unattended Claude Code execution.
Integrates with Claude Code's slash commands and skills framework, using the Rill scripting language to compose multi-phase workflows with variables, conditionals, loops, and result parsing via XML tags. Supports both single prompts and complex automation chains that capture Claude's output, branch on conditions, and extract structured results for CI/CD pipelines.
