PilotForge lets you line up a session's worth of work for Claude Code and walk away. Write one instruction per line, add them to the queue, and press Run: when Claude finishes a turn, PilotForge hands it the next command through Claude Code's own stop-hook contract and it carries on, looping until the queue empties, you pause or stop it, or a per-session safety ceiling is reached. That ceiling is enforced on the server side, so nothing running in the client can lift it, and there is a kill switch in the window, in the tray and on the command line. The design fails open by default — if PilotForge is not running or the queue is empty, Claude simply stops as it normally would. It installs the hook for you at user or project scope, backing up your settings file first and restoring it on removal, and if you would rather not install a hook at all, manual mode just copies the next command to your clipboard.
