Claude Code Routines: 5 production workflows for engineering teams

Manveer Chawla's post on Arcade's blog examines Claude Code Routines, Anthropic's cloud-hosted feature that lets teams run saved Claude Code configurations — including prompts, repositories, and connectors — automatically via scheduled, API, or GitHub event triggers. The article argues that demo-grade setups break quickly in enterprise environments due to permission inheritance, API rate limits, and weak auditability. Five production workflows are covered: incident postmortem drafting, on-call triage and ticket drafts, PR-aging reports, expansion-signal scanning, and changelog PR generation. A key risk highlighted is that bundled first-party connectors inherit the full OAuth access of the routine's creator, meaning any unattended action appears as that individual developer across GitHub, Slack, Linear, and other services.
