Scheduled jobs, event hooks, self-improvement loops, memory pipelines – the complete list of automation that actually runs without a human pressing a button, broken down by cost.
We open-source two autonomous loops – one that uses a deterministic engine to mine recurring workflows from 800+ past conversations and package them as skills, and another that evolves existing skill bodies leak-free based on real failure evidence.
Starting from an incident that burned $705 in a single day, we reveal the practical rules and numbers behind how we structurally reduced Claude Code agent operating costs through LLM model routing, a skill router, and token hygiene.
