+- name: "Clad - an Automatic Differentiation Tool"
+  description: |
+    Clad is a plugin for the Clang compiler that enables automatic differentiation
+    capabilities for C/C++ codebases. It is a valuable tool for developers seeking
+    to streamline complex mathematical computations and optimize their codebase
+    efficiently.
+
+    Clad facilitates the generation of derivatives, gradients, Hessians, and
+    Jacobians (in forward and/or reverse mode), enhancing the efficiency and
+    versatility of numerical computations.
+
+    Clad not only supports partial and higher-order derivatives but also
+    integrates seamlessly with frameworks like ROOT, providing a comprehensive
+    solution for automatic differentiation needs in C++ applications.
