Continuous Claude is a CLI wrapper I made that runs Claude Code in an iterative loop with persistent context, automatically driving a PR-based workflow. Each iteration creates a branch, applies a focused code change, generates a commit, opens a PR via GitHub's CLI, waits for required checks and reviews, merges if green, and records state into a shared notes file.

This avoids the typical stateless one-shot pattern of current coding agents and enables multi-step changes without losing intermediate reasoning, test failures, or partial progress.

The tool is useful for tasks that require many small, serial modifications: increasing test coverage, large refactors, dependency upgrades guided by release notes, or framework migrations.

im not saying OP did this, but I've actually had AI spit out some pretty stellar bash scripts, surprisingly

Nah - as you'll see from my work from a pre-coding agents age, I like emoji :)

Here are receipts some from 2020: - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/bsc-thesis - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/slack-netlify-trigger - https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/analytics-icons

I got a couple bug reports years ago on https://github.com/jdavisclark/jsformat for not dealing unicode emojis correctly when used in variable names in javascript. people are weird.

LLMs had to learn where to use emoji from somewhere, now we know who to blame ;)
