Scheduled tasks should be able to spawn interactive sessions for follow-up
Feature Request
Scheduled tasks currently run autonomously and complete without any way to hand off to an interactive session. It would be very useful if a scheduled task could spawn a new interactive Claude Code session at the end of its run, pre-loaded with context, so the user can continue the conversation.
Use Case
A daily scheduled task processes meeting transcripts (from Google Meet recordings via Gmail), extracts action items and decisions, and organizes them into structured notes.
Current behavior: The task saves markdown files and exits. The user has to start a new session and manually reference those files to discuss follow-up actions.
Desired behavior: After processing, the task spawns a new interactive session that already has the meeting digest loaded. When the user opens Claude Code, they see this session ready for follow-up — e.g., "Which TODO should we prioritize?", "Draft a message about this decision", etc.
Why This Matters
Scheduled tasks are great for automation, but many workflows don't end with "save a file." They naturally lead to human-in-the-loop follow-up. The gap between "task completed" and "user starts interacting" is a friction point that breaks the flow.
This would make scheduled tasks significantly more powerful for workflows like:
- Meeting digest → action item triage
- Daily report generation → review and discussion
- Monitoring alerts → investigation and response
- Email processing → draft replies
Suggested Approach
- Allow scheduled tasks to call something like
spawn_interactive_session(context, title)at the end of their run - The spawned session appears in the sidebar as a regular session, pre-loaded with the task's context/output
- The user can open it and start interacting immediately
