What it does

Setup is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Clay setup — install and authenticate the clay CLI, which is how the plugin talks to Clay. Use when clay is not found on PATH or the clay found in the PATH is the wrong version, clay whoami fails, the CLI isn't signed in, the Cursor plugin never appears after a local install, or the user wants to configure Clay. Signs the user in and runs first-run onboarding for new users.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `cursor-install.md`).

It works with npm. 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

  • Clay is not found on PATH
  • The clay found in the PATH is the wrong version
  • Clay whoami fails
  • The CLI isnt signed in

Example prompts

  • “/setup”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, Write

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check current state
  2. Cursor only: resolve which plugin install path applies
  3. Install or migrate the CLI
  4. Sign in when needed
  5. Verify and onboard

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
    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Setup loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,035 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Write

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 1,035 words (~1,945 tokens).

“Install the CLI independently of the plugin, then check authentication. The same flow applies to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Cowork. Keep existing credentials and the user's installation method when upgrading.”
