In this short, Shagility describes a large‑scale automation setup where a team operated roughly 200 Claude 2.0 × max accounts behind a custom router. The router kept context out of Claude, maintained a backlog and an external knowledge base, and round‑robin‑distributed tasks across all accounts overnight to achieve up to eight hours of continuous programming while the team slept. This massive commit rate overwhelmed GitHub’s CI/CD pipeline: each 30‑minute round‑robin cycle generated a flood of code changes, ultimately breaking the integration window and causing CI/CD failures.

they were rocking 200 Claude 20x max accounts. Oh my God. And they built a router. So basically, they kept all the context out of Claude, effectively built a backlog and a knowledge base. Yeah. And then they were, had a router that would round robin all the tasks across all their max accounts overnight. So they were trying to get to a stage where they could run 8 hours of programming while they slept. And one of the things they said is they were breaking GitHub in the CI/CD process because every time they were committing, it was a 30-minute round robin and they were pumping so much code and so many changes into it that actually they blew the window.
