 > If you want **self-hosted scheduling with sub-second precision** (no GitHub cron delays/drops), see the sibling repo: [tiennm99/claude-code-routine-cron](https://github.com/tiennm99/claude-code-routine-cron) — Go daemon shipped as a multi-arch Docker image on GHCR.

+Pick **this repo** if you want zero-infra and don't care about precise firing time. Pick **-cron** for behind-firewall / on-prem / precise timing. Pick **-worker** for edge-native deploys with CF dashboard observability.

 Scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that fires a [Claude Code routine](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/routines) via the [`/fire` API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/claude-code/routines-fire). Ships with a 5×-daily default cron and exposes a `workflow_dispatch` button for on-demand runs. Fire URL and per-routine token live in repo secrets.
 
 **Why:** GitHub cron is the cheapest way to run a Claude Code routine unattended on a schedule — no servers, no extra scheduler, no billable infra.
