Claude refused a reasonable request

What You Asked Claude to Do

I've asked to create a new issue triage routine running on issue create

What Claude Actually Did

It was refused:

Routines only support two trigger types: cron_expression (recurring, min 1 hour) or run_once_at (single firing). There is no event/webhook trigger.

Knowledge according to claude docs (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/routines):
