What it does

CLI is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay CLI — the primary scripting surface (JSON output, typed errors). Use when running or discovering clay commands. For what Clay can do and which skill to use, read the clay skill when it is available; otherwise run clay --help. Use clay --help for command names, flags, JSON shape, and error codes.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Build with Clay in your AI coding agent - skills, MCP tools, and the clay CLI for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Search companies and people, run enrichment routines, and query…

When your agent uses it

  • Discovering clay commands

Example prompts

  • “/cli”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a813258. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • developers.clay.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CLI loads about 993 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~993

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 549 words (~993 tokens).

“The clay CLI is Clay's primary programmatic surface, optimized for agents: JSON output and typed error codes. It authenticates via clay login (browser OAuth; run the setup skill once if clay whoami fails). The workspace is resolved from the stored…”
