Anthropic has updated Claude Code with four new commands that allow for more autonomous operation, moving away from the previous default of pausing after every turn. The new commands include /goal for condition-based tasks, /loop for interval-based checks, /batch for parallel processing of tasks into pull requests, and /background for detached sessions. These modes offer increased flexibility for long-running tasks, though they may increase token usage, particularly with /batch which can spawn multiple subagents. AI
