Workflow steps

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

  1. Add a Claygent Research Column
  2. Configure Multi-Output Claygent (Neon Model)
  3. Build a Personalized Email Opener Column
  4. Quality-Check AI Output Before Campaign Launch
  5. Export Campaign-Ready Data
  6. Claygent Navigator for Dynamic Websites

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Grep

    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 typescript and json).

    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:

    • api.instantly.ai

    Also links to:

    • 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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Clay Core Workflow B loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 456 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
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.

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.

Clay Core Workflow B: Claygent AI Research & Personalization

Overview

Complements the enrichment pipeline (clay-core-workflow-a) with AI-powered research and personalization. Uses Claygent (Clay's built-in AI research agent powered by GPT-4) to scrape websites, extract insights, and generate personalized outreach copy for each prospect. 30% of Clay customers use Claygent daily, generating 500K+ research tasks per day.

Prerequisites

  • Completed clay-core-workflow-a with enriched table
  • Clay Pro plan or higher (Claygent requires Pro+)
  • Understanding of prompt engineering basics

Instructions

Step 1: Add a Claygent Research Column

In your Clay table with enriched leads:

  1. Click + Add Column > Use AI (Claygent)
  2. Choose model: Claygent Neon (best for data extraction and formatting)
  3. Write your research prompt referencing table columns:
Research {{Company Name}} ({{domain}}) and find:
1. Their most recent funding round (amount, date, investors)
2. Any recent product launches or major announcements from the last 6 months
3. Their primary competitors

Return results as structured data. If information is not found, return "Not found" for that field.
  1. Enable Auto-run on new rows
Step 2: Configure Multi-Output Claygent (Neon Model)

Claygent Neon can extract multiple data points into separate columns from a single run:

Research the company at {{domain}} and extract:

Output 1 (Recent News): The most notable company news from the last 90 days. One sentence.
Output 2 (Tech Stack): List the main technologies they use (check job postings, BuiltWith, Wappalyzer data).
Output 3 (Pain Points): Based on their Glassdoor reviews and recent job postings, identify likely operational pain points.
Output 4 (Competitor): Name their primary competitor.

Map each output to a separate column for downstream use in personalization.

Step 3: Build a Personalized Email Opener Column

Add an AI column (not Claygent -- use the faster AI model for text generation):

You are a sales copywriter. Write a personalized 2-sentence email opener for {{first_name}} at {{Company Name}}.

Context about the prospect:
- Title: {{Job Title}}
- Company size: {{Employee Count}} employees
- Industry: {{Industry}}
- Recent news: {{Recent News}}
- Tech stack: {{Tech Stack}}

Rules:
- Reference one specific fact about their company (not generic)
- Do NOT use "I noticed" or "I came across" (overused)
- Keep it under 40 words
- Sound human, not AI-generated
- End with a natural transition to your value prop
Step 4: Quality-Check AI Output Before Campaign Launch

Before using AI-generated copy in outreach:

typescript
// src/workflows/qa-clay-output.ts
interface ClayRow {
  email: string;
  company_name: string;
  personalized_opener: string;
  icp_score: number;
  recent_news: string;
}

function qaCheck(row: ClayRow): { pass: boolean; issues: string[] } {
  const issues: string[] = [];

  // Check opener quality
  if (!row.personalized_opener || row.personalized_opener.length < 20) {
    issues.push('Opener too short or empty');
  }
  if (row.personalized_opener?.includes('{{')) {
    issues.push('Unresolved template variable in opener');
  }
  if (/I noticed|I came across|I saw that/i.test(row.personalized_opener || '')) {
    issues.push('Opener uses banned phrases');
  }

  // Check data completeness
  if (!row.email) issues.push('Missing email');
  if (row.recent_news === 'Not found') issues.push('No research data found');
  if (row.icp_score < 50) issues.push('Low ICP score');

  return { pass: issues.length === 0, issues };
}
Step 5: Export Campaign-Ready Data

Configure an HTTP API column to push qualified, personalized leads to your outreach tool:

json
{
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "https://api.instantly.ai/api/v1/lead/add",
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer {{Instantly API Key}}"
  },
  "body": {
    "campaign_id": "your-campaign-id",
    "email": "{{Work Email}}",
    "first_name": "{{first_name}}",
    "last_name": "{{last_name}}",
    "company_name": "{{Company Name}}",
    "personalization": "{{personalized_opener}}",
    "custom_variables": {
      "recent_news": "{{Recent News}}",
      "tech_stack": "{{Tech Stack}}"
    }
  }
}

Set conditional run: ICP Score >= 70 AND ISNOTEMPTY(Work Email) AND ISNOTEMPTY(personalized_opener)

Step 6: Claygent Navigator for Dynamic Websites

For sites that require interaction (filtering, clicking, scrolling):

  1. Add a Claygent column with Navigator mode enabled
  2. Navigator can click buttons, fill search forms, and extract data from dynamic pages
Navigate to {{domain}}/pricing and extract:
1. Number of pricing tiers
2. Starting price
3. Whether they offer a free tier
4. Enterprise pricing model (contact sales vs. listed)

If the pricing page requires interaction (e.g., toggle annual/monthly), switch to annual pricing first.

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Claygent returns "Not found"Company too small or privateSkip personalization, use generic opener
AI opener references wrong companyColumn mapping errorVerify {{column}} references match table headers
Claygent timeoutComplex research promptSimplify prompt, break into multiple columns
High credit cost per rowClaygent + AI + enrichment stackingRun Claygent only on ICP-qualified rows (score >= 60)
Template variables in outputAI hallucinating Clay syntaxAdd "Do not include curly braces" to prompt

Output

Produce a campaign-preparation manifest with the approved source rows, qualification policy, research/personalization version, quality checks, suppressed records, downstream destination, and owner approval. Research and generated content are evidence to review, not permission to contact a person or to make claims that the source does not support.

Examples

Run Claygent only for a small staging subset that has cleared the ICP and email conditions, sample the resulting openers for accuracy and prohibited claims, and send no messages. If an opener misidentifies a company or includes sensitive data, suppress that row, adjust the prompt/mapping, and retest before release.
