I had a highly repetitive task (/subagents is great to know about), but I didn't get more advanced than a script that sent "continue\n" into the terminal where CC was running every X minutes. What was frustrating is CC was inconsistent with how long it would run. Needing to compact was a bit of a curveball.
The compaction is annoying, especially when it sometimes will then fail to compact with an error, forcing rewinding. They do need to tighten that up so it doesn't need so much manual intervention...
