What it does

Routines is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay routines — create a routine from an existing function/workflow, then run a saved routine that exists in this workspace. Use when the user asks to create/register a routine, or to run, execute, or trigger a function, workflow, or routine (by name or id), pass it inputs, or check the results/status of a run. For building a new workflow, use the workflows entry-point skill instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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…

Example prompts

“/routines”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Find the routine
Check the cost and your balance before running
Run it
Get the results

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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Routines loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.6k

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 1,294 words (~2,583 tokens).

“A routine is the runnable unit in Clay: a saved function or workflow that already exists in this workspace. This skill is about running an existing routine and getting its results — not building one.”

Questions about Routines

What does Routines do?

Clay routines — create a routine from an existing function/workflow, then run a saved routine that exists in this workspace. Routines is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay routines — create a routine from an existing function/workflow, then run a saved routine that exists in this workspace.

When should I use Routines?

Routines fits situations like: the user asks to create/register a routine; trigger a function; routine (by name; check the results/status of a run.

How do I install Routines in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add clay-run/agent-plugins --skill routines -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (clay/skills/routines in clay-run/agent-plugins) into .claude/skills/routines in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Routines in Codex?

Run `npx skills add clay-run/agent-plugins --skill routines -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (clay/skills/routines in clay-run/agent-plugins) into .agents/skills/routines in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Routines in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add clay-run/agent-plugins --skill routines -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/routines, .gemini/skills/routines, .github/skills/routines and .opencode/skills/routines in your project.

What does Routines need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Routines needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq).

Does Routines access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Routines safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Routines use?

No licence was found for Routines or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Routines use?

About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Routines?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Routines: Routines (google/adk-recipes, 10k stars), Azure Functions (davila7/claude-code-templates, 33k stars), Routine Memory (vectorize-io/hindsight, 48k stars) and Neon Functions (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Routines?

clay-run (a GitHub organization) maintains it in clay-run/agent-plugins, which has 132 GitHub stars. The repository holds 35 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
