Example prompts

  • “clay production”
  • “clay go-live”
  • “clay launch checklist”
  • “/clay-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • A credential in CLAY_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

  2. Data Quality Gates
  3. Credit & Cost Controls
  4. Integration Reliability
  5. Monitoring & Alerting
  6. Documentation & Runbooks

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
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    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.clay.com

    Also links to:

    • university.clay.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CLAY_API_KEY

    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 Prod Checklist loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Clay Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for launching Clay enrichment pipelines in production. Covers table configuration, credit budgeting, webhook reliability, CRM sync validation, and monitoring setup.

Prerequisites

  • Clay table tested with sample data (100+ rows enriched successfully)
  • CRM integration tested in staging
  • Credit budget approved for monthly volume
  • Team trained on Clay table management

Instructions

Phase 1: Table Configuration
  • Table schema finalized -- all columns named, typed, and ordered
  • Enrichment columns configured -- each column has correct provider and input mapping
  • Waterfall configured -- providers ordered cheapest-first with "stop on first result"
  • Auto-run settings verified -- table-level auto-update ON, column-level auto-run ON for needed columns
  • Conditional run rules set -- enrichments only trigger when input data exists
  • Formula columns tested -- ICP scoring and lead grading formulas validated
  • AI/Claygent columns reviewed -- prompts produce consistent, quality output
Phase 2: Data Quality Gates
  • Input validation in place -- scripts validate data before webhook submission
  • Personal email filter -- gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc. blocked from enrichment
  • Deduplication active -- duplicate records detected before sending to Clay
  • Sample enrichment run completed -- 500+ row test with >60% email find rate
  • Credit cost per row calculated -- know your average credits per enriched lead
typescript
// Pre-submission validation (run before pushing to Clay)
function validateForProduction(rows: any[]): { valid: any[]; rejected: any[] } {
  const personalDomains = ['gmail.com', 'yahoo.com', 'hotmail.com', 'outlook.com', 'icloud.com'];
  const seen = new Set<string>();
  const valid: any[] = [];
  const rejected: any[] = [];

  for (const row of rows) {
    const key = `${row.domain}:${row.first_name}:${row.last_name}`.toLowerCase();

    if (!row.domain?.includes('.'))
      rejected.push({ row, reason: 'invalid domain' });
    else if (personalDomains.some(d => row.domain.endsWith(d)))
      rejected.push({ row, reason: 'personal email domain' });
    else if (seen.has(key))
      rejected.push({ row, reason: 'duplicate' });
    else {
      seen.add(key);
      valid.push(row);
    }
  }

  console.log(`Validation: ${valid.length} valid, ${rejected.length} rejected (${(rejected.length / rows.length * 100).toFixed(1)}% filtered)`);
  return { valid, rejected };
}
Phase 3: Credit & Cost Controls
  • Monthly credit budget set -- know your plan's monthly credits
  • Table row limits configured -- max rows set to prevent runaway enrichment
  • Provider API keys connected -- own keys for high-volume providers (saves 70-80%)
  • Credit burn monitoring -- alerts when daily usage exceeds threshold
  • Webhook submission counter -- tracking against 50K lifetime limit
PlanMonthly CreditsActionsHTTP APIWebhook Limit
Launch2,50015,000No50K/webhook
Growth6,00040,000Yes50K/webhook
EnterpriseCustomCustomYes50K/webhook
Phase 4: Integration Reliability
  • Webhook endpoint health check -- Clay can reach your callback URL
  • Retry logic implemented -- 429 and 5xx responses handled with backoff
  • CRM sync tested -- enriched records correctly map to CRM objects
  • HTTP API columns tested -- outbound API calls return expected data
  • Error handling for empty enrichments -- graceful handling when providers return no data
bash
# Pre-flight connectivity checks
echo "=== Clay Production Pre-flight ==="

# 1. Webhook reachable
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Webhook: HTTP %{http_code}\n" \
  -X POST "$CLAY_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"_preflight": true}'

# 2. Enterprise API (if applicable)
if [ -n "${CLAY_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Enterprise API: HTTP %{http_code}\n" \
    -X POST "https://api.clay.com/v1/people/enrich" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAY_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"email": "test@example.com"}'
fi

# 3. Callback endpoint reachable
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Callback endpoint: HTTP %{http_code}\n" \
  "https://your-app.com/api/health"
Phase 5: Monitoring & Alerting
  • Credit consumption tracked -- daily/weekly credit usage logged
  • Enrichment hit rate monitored -- alert if email find rate drops below 40%
  • Webhook delivery failures alerted -- notification on 4xx/5xx from webhooks
  • CRM sync errors tracked -- alert on failed CRM pushes
  • Table row count monitored -- alert when approaching plan limits
Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
Phase 6: Documentation & Runbooks
  • Table schema documented -- column purposes, providers, and dependencies
  • Credit cost model documented -- expected cost per lead at current volume
  • Webhook rotation procedure -- steps to replace exhausted webhook (50K limit)
  • Provider failover plan -- what to do when a provider is down
  • On-call escalation path -- who to contact for Clay issues

Error Handling

AlertConditionAction
Credit balance low< 500 credits remainingPause enrichments, add credits or connect own keys
Email find rate drop< 40% for 2+ hoursCheck input data quality, review provider status
Webhook 429s> 5 per hourReduce submission rate, check plan limits
CRM sync failures> 10 per batchCheck CRM field mapping, verify API key

Output

Create a production-readiness record that ties each required control to an owner, redacted evidence, approval, validation time, and tested rollback. It must name the currently certified table/CRM state and must not contain live credentials, raw lead records, webhook URLs, or unapproved provider output.

Examples

Before enabling a production table, run a protected preflight with a synthetic row, verify budget alerts, deduplication, callback health, and CRM suppression conditions, then attach the results to the change record. If any alert or rollback test fails, keep automation disabled and restore the last certified configuration.
