Claude Coding A Blog Pipeline (clabs.org)

In a recent hands-on exploration, Simon Willison shared insights about his publishing pipeline, sparking a series of experiments with Claude Code Cloud, which facilitates content automation. This innovative setup enables users to streamline social media posting by auto-scheduling posts from a dedicated repository each time updates are pushed to the main branch. This approach minimizes manual tasks, allowing content creators to focus on generating and refining ideas, although it does come with potential challenges such as network interruptions. Significantly, the experiment revealed technical hurdles, including difficulties with the Publer API and issues related to network allowlist changes in Claude Code Cloud. The encounter with a non-standard authentication header—where Publer utilizes "Bearer-API" instead of the traditional "Bearer"—highlights the practical complexities in integrating third-party services. Ultimately, the process of navigating bugs and network configurations underscores the evolving landscape of AI/ML tools in content creation, showcasing both the capabilities and the obstacles that users may face as they leverage cloud-based solutions for automated workflows.
