# claude-code-routine-trigger

GitHub Actions workflow that fires a [Claude Code routine](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/routines) four times a day via the [`/fire` API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/claude-code/routines-fire).

Schedule (UTC+7, `Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh`):

| Local time | UTC cron      |
| ---------- | ------------- |
| 05:00      | `0 22 * * *`  |
| 10:00      | `0 3 * * *`   |
| 15:00      | `0 8 * * *`   |
| 20:00      | `0 13 * * *`  |

Manual `workflow_dispatch` is supported with an optional `text` input for ad-hoc runs.

## Setup

1. Create a routine at <https://claude.ai/code/routines> (requires a Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise plan with Claude Code on the web enabled).
2. In the routine editor, add an **API** trigger and generate a token. Copy both the fire URL and the token — the token is shown once.
3. Add two repository secrets (`Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions`):
   - `ROUTINE_FIRE_URL` — e.g. `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/claude_code/routines/trig_01ABo4hmfydBLFDgRMnKwEKy/fire`
   - `ROUTINE_FIRE_TOKEN` — e.g. `sk-ant-oat01-...`
4. Enable Actions for the repo. Scheduled runs start on the next matching UTC tick.

## Manual run

`Actions → Trigger Claude Code Routine → Run workflow`. Leave `text` blank to get a timestamped default, or pass custom context (alert body, log line, etc.).

## Request shape

```bash
curl -X POST "$ROUTINE_FIRE_URL" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTINE_FIRE_TOKEN" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -H "anthropic-beta: experimental-cc-routine-2026-04-01" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Scheduled trigger ..."}'
```

Beta header pinned to `experimental-cc-routine-2026-04-01`. Two previous dated beta versions keep working while migrating — bump when Anthropic ships a new one.

## Notes

- GitHub cron runs can lag 5–15 min under load and are best-effort — acceptable for housekeeping-style routines, not for precise timing.
- Token is scoped to a single routine; a leak can only fire that one routine.
- Each POST creates a new session (no idempotency). Avoid retry loops that would multiply sessions.
- 429 responses include `Retry-After`; the workflow fails loud rather than retrying silently.
