Problem Statement
Summary
The /loop skill presents a "Cloud schedule (recommended)" option described as
"Runs in Anthropic's cloud even after you close this session" — but the underlying
implementation calls mcp__scheduled-tasks__create_scheduled_task, which is a LOCAL
scheduled task requiring the Claude desktop app to be open and the machine running.
Expected behavior
Picking "Cloud schedule" should create a routine that:
- Runs on Anthropic's servers
- Executes even when the laptop is closed or off
- Persists across machine restarts
Actual behavior
- "Cloud schedule" creates a local mcp__scheduled-tasks job
- Does NOT run if the app is closed or machine is off
- The label and implementation are completely mismatched
Impact
Autonomous agent use cases (trading loops, monitoring, daily summaries) require
the loop to run without the user's machine on. The current implementation makes
the "cloud" label actively misleading and the feature unusable for its intended purpose.
Proposed Solution
Request
Either wire up genuine server-side execution, or remove/rename the "Cloud schedule"
option until that infrastructure exists.
