   The Hook

   Proactive Agent Workflow Introduction

   “Hi everyone. Welcome to the last workshop session of the day. I'm Maya. I'm on the Applied AI team at Anthropic. And today we're going to be talking about Code with Claude.”

   Problem Agitation

   Challenges with Proactive Agents

   “So we've been building Code with Claude for a while now, and we've been thinking about how to evolve it from a powerful coding tool into a coding teammate. And what does that mean? That means that it proactively notices issues and addresses them. So who here has tried to run Code with Claude on a cron?”

   Product Reveal

   Introducing Routines

   “Okay, so a few of you. So you'll know that it's a little bit of a pain. And that's why we're introducing routines. Routines are a new feature in Code with Claude that allows you to kick off remote Code with Claude sessions by defining a prompt, connecting to repos, specifying connectors, and setting a trigger.”

   On screen

   Routines Always available with managed infrastructure Work proactively with customizable triggers Interactive and steerable agent teammates

   Camera

   Static wide shot. The screen displays key features of 'Routines' with icons.

   Motion

   Bullet points and icons animate in sequentially with a quick, subtle bounce or spring effect. Text appears with a soft fade and slight scale.

   Feature Teaser

   Routine Creation Decisions

   “So there are three main considerations for creating routines. First, when should the routine trigger? Is it time-based or event-based? Second, what context or information does Claude need to be successful? Does it need access to docs, tools? And third, how do you steer Claude in the session to ensure quality outputs?”

   On screen

   Three decisions for any routine 1 Trigger When does it run? 2 Context What does it know? 3 Steering How do you keep it honest?

   Camera

   Static wide shot. The screen highlights the three decision points for routines.

   Motion

   Numbered points and their descriptions animate in one by one, using a quick slide-in from the left with a slight overshoot.

   Call to Action

   Automating Workflows with Routines

   “So let's dive into an example. How can we automate docs creation? So at Anthropic, we use routines internally to automate documentation creation. Let's create a routine. So here we're defining a schedule-based routine. Once a week, review all the new changes merged to main against Claude-code-docs and create a PR to update docs. This is a simple example, but it demonstrates the power of routines. We can also create event-based routines, for example, triggering a routine when a new issue is opened in GitHub. This allows Claude to proactively investigate and address issues. Routines can be used for various software engineering challenges like deploy verifiers, on-call investigators, and backlog triagers. The key takeaway is that proactive agents beat reactive agents. Routines allow developers to concentrate on their domain expertise, not infrastructure maintenance. So build a routine yourself today. It's a single /schedule command away from your first routine.”
