Run scheduled agents that check folders for work every 15 minutes
A commenter set up scheduled Claude tasks and another model to poll folders every 15 minutes and act on any work they find. · Oct 1, 2026
- What They Did
- One commenter runs two Claude agents and two Codex agents on a Mac mini across two projects. They first use Claude to plan, write a spec and a three-column to-do list, then make Claude the architect and Codex the coder, with shared folders acting as ticket, review, and deploy queues; both models are scheduled to check those folders every 15 minutes, while the person handles outside tasks like setting up Supabase or Vercel and making decisions.
- How It Went
- They said they usually wake up liking the overnight output and are making better progress than before, but they still had mornings where Claude made bad design choices and needed a firm redirect.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch they described is that the system still depends on human setup and intervention for accounts, reviews, and correcting design drift.
Try it yourself with Claude
Set up a scheduled task that runs every 15 minutes and checks [folder path] for new files. For each new file, do [action, e.g. summarize it and move it to a Done folder], and log what you did in [log file]. Do not delete anything or send messages without asking me first, and finish by showing me the log after the first run.
