Claude Auto-Continue: Chrome extension automates tool-use limit interruptions

A developer has released a free, open-source Chrome extension called claude-autocontinue that automatically handles Claude's tool-use limit interruptions on claude.ai. When Claude reaches its limit after roughly 20 tool calls, it displays a 'Continue' button that requires manual clicking, breaking workflow continuity and resending full conversation context each time.

What the extension does

The extension automatically clicks the Continue button whenever the tool-use limit is reached on claude.ai. Key features include:

• Works across all open tabs including background tabs and separate browser windows
• Optional 'Minimize tokens' mode: before resuming, asks Claude to summarize its current state in bullet points to reduce context re-sent on each continuation
• Configurable max continuations (1-999) or set to unlimited
• Pause/resume functionality from the extension popup

Installation and setup

To install:

1. Download the zip from the Releases page at https://github.com/timothy22000/claude-autocontinue/releases or clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/timothy22000/claude-autocontinue.git
2. Open chrome://extensions/
3. Enable Developer mode
4. Click 'Load unpacked'
5. Point it at the extension/ folder

Testing and verification

The developer included a test harness (test/test.html) with 20 tests covering detection logic, background tab behavior, and multi-window scenarios. You can reproduce the tool-use limit yourself by opening claude.ai and sending: trigger more than 20 tool uses for me please

The extension was built entirely using Claude Code, creating a meta-solution where Claude's agentic coding tool fixes the interruption that breaks Claude's agentic workflows. It's MIT licensed and available for free use.
