Updates
What I’ve been shipping.
I actively maintain Klaudius. The framework evolves continuously — lessons and improvements I identify from running the pipeline myself every day, and updates that keep Klaudius in sync with Claude Code’s latest AI capabilities. Every improvement listed here lands in your install via npx klaudius update, included with your licence.
Better double-check for no-website prospects
When a business doesn't have a website obviously set publicly, Klaudius now runs an extra double-check before treating them as a no-website prospect — trying domain patterns like brand-name + country-code (e.g. acmeplumbing.co.uk) and brand-name + city (e.g. acmeplumbing-leeds). Cleaner outreach list, fewer mistakes where a business with a non-standard domain gets pitched a site they already have.
CRM setup catches a common mistake
The CRM step in the install wizard now validates the shape of the key you paste before continuing and gives a clearer error if you've pasted the wrong one. A common stumble for first-time operators — now caught instantly instead of surfacing as a confusing error later in the pipeline.
Operator docs overhaul
The bundled operator documentation has been redesigned with the marketing-site visual language and split into two pages: a public-eligible reference (DOCS.html) you can share with collaborators, and an internal operator guide (operator-guide.html) that goes deeper. Raw shell commands have been replaced with Claude-driven workflows wherever it makes sense — most operators talk to Claude Code, not the terminal.
Windows install hardening + new install command
The install wizard now runs reliably on Windows machines (Git Bash and WSL2 both supported). A new `klaudius install` command lets you re-run the dependency-install step if anything fails mid-init, so you don't have to start over from scratch.
Finish-line polish on the install wizard
When `klaudius init` completes, the next-steps message is sharper, includes a platform-aware `open` command (macOS, Linux, Windows), and a hint for installing Claude Code itself if you don't have it yet. First-time operators get from finished-install to first pipeline run faster.
CLI now works behind corporate networks
If your machine has a custom certificate authority installed (common in corporate networks with TLS inspection), the CLI now detects it and relaunches itself with the system CAs trusted. Install no longer breaks silently in those environments.
Pick your country and language up front
During install, the wizard asks for the country you want to find businesses in and the language you want websites and outreach messages to be in. The entire pipeline picks up those choices — phone-number formats, place-name matching, accumulated lessons, outreach sign-off framing — so Klaudius behaves correctly for your chosen market out of the box.
Framework CLAUDE.md trimmed to fit Claude Code's context window
Claude Code reads your project's CLAUDE.md on every session, and there's a ceiling on how much it can read in one go. The template's CLAUDE.md has been trimmed to comfortably fit under that ceiling — meaning Claude Code spends less of its attention on framework setup and more on getting your sites built.
New outreach channel added
Klaudius now reaches prospects through an additional outreach channel. The install wizard handles the new channel-specific setup during init. The outreach engine rotates intelligently across whichever channels you've configured — picking whichever lands best with a given business, with no double-sends — using a per-account daemon and a priority cascade.
