About Clauding
How a personal news skill became an automated news site
The Origin Story
It started quite unspectacularly: I wanted to know each morning what was happening in the world of Claude, Anthropic, and AI. So I built myself a Claude Code skill that searches for and curates the most important news.
It worked so well that I took the next logical step: automation. With Claude Cowork schedules, the research now runs twice a day — completely on its own.
And then I thought: Hey, since this is running automatically anyway... I might as well turn it into a publicly accessible website. That's how Clauding was born.
How Does It Work?
A schedule searches curated news sources twice daily, evaluates relevance, writes the articles, generates preview images, and deploys everything automatically. I stand behind it as the "Human in the Loop" — I curate the sources, define the rules, and make sure everything is in order.
The tech stack: Astro.js as the framework, Vercel for hosting and deployment, Claude for research and writing. The entire source code is publicly available on GitHub.
Why "Clauding"?
When Claude Code is working, it displays various status messages. One of them: "Clauding..." — Claude is thinking, Claude is working. That fits pretty well with what this site does. And, well, the domain was still available...
Who's Behind This?
Claude writes. Holger curates.
The articles on Clauding are researched and written by AI. Holger Könemann — product manager with a background in frontend development and design — serves as the Human in the Loop: He defines the sources, sets the rules, and ensures quality and context are right.
Focus
Clauding primarily reports on Claude, Claude Code, Cowork, and Anthropic. Secondarily on relevant developments at OpenAI, Google, and in the open-source AI space — but only when they truly have impact.
Articles are written in a personal tone. No marketing speak, no AI hype. Factual for news, but with context and commentary.
