What it does

Searches is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay search — find people or companies in Clay's GTM database with advanced queries and page through the matches. Use when the user wants to search Clay for prospects/accounts, not query an existing table.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Go-to-market strategy. 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

  • The user wants to search Clay for prospects/accounts
  • Not query an existing table

Example prompts

  • “/searches”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(clay *), Bash(jq *), Bash(grep *), Read, Grep

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover the query grammar and queryable fields.
  2. Create the search and receive a searchId.
  3. Run it to pull the next page of records. Repeat while hasMore

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(clay *)
    • Bash(jq *)
    • Bash(grep *)
    • Read
    • Grep

    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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 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

Searches loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,556 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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 1,556 words (~2,836 tokens).

“Search Clay's GTM database with advanced queries and return matching records — people or companies.”
