At a glance

Keep Clay up to date. An agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins.

  • Works in 3 steps: Check and update the CLI → Update the plugin → Verify both installations
  • The user asks to update
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Check and update the CLI, 2. Update the plugin and 3. Verify both installations
  • Calls claude, codex and bash

What it does

Update is an agent skill from clay-run/agent-plugins. Keep Clay up to date. Use when the user asks to update or upgrade Clay, the plugin, or the clay CLI; when clay update reports the CLI is pinned / managed by the plugin; or to check whether a newer version is available. The plugin and CLI update independently; migrate older plugin-managed installs through setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • The user asks to update
  • Clay update reports the CLI is pinned / managed by the plugin
  • Check whether a newer version is available

Example prompts

  • “/update”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check and update the CLI
  2. Update the plugin
  3. Verify both installations

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

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • codex
    • 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

Update loads about 856 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~856

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: 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

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 424 words (~856 tokens).

“The CLI is installed independently. The plugin declares its minimum compatible CLI in cli-min-version; a newer CLI is fine. Updating one does not automatically update the other.”
