That's exactly how you should do it. You can also plug in an MCP for your CI or mention cli.github.com in your prompt to also make it iterate on CI failures.

Next you use claude code instead and you make several work on their own clone on their own workspace and branches in the background; So you can still iterate yourself on some other topic on your personal clone.

Then you check out its tab from time to time and optionally checkout its branch if you'd rather do some updates yourself. It's so ingrained in my day-to-day flow now it's been super impressive.
