About this template
Find 20 CEOs. Get the emails. Draft the openers.
You already know the Clay motion.
ICP. Company search. People search. Waterfall work emails. Personalization. Export. Sequencer.
What you do not want: another afternoon wiring the Clay agent plugin, hunting PATH, relearning Search vs Routines, and rewriting the same loop in a blank Claude chat.
This template is that loop, already on Claude Code.
Fork it. Log into your Claude. Run clay login with your Clay workspace. Then paste:
Find 20 Series B fintech companies in New York, get each CEO's work email, and draft a first-touch cold email for each.
You get a shortlist, fill rate, CSV + markdown under outputs/, and nothing auto-sends. You own the list. You own the send.
What you get
clayCLI pinned under~/.agents/bin(survives fork — not a throwaway/tmpinstall)- Official Clay skills from clay-run/agent-plugins:
search,routines,setup,cli, … clay-outboundplaybook — ICP → Search → email routine → score → draft openersCLAUDE.md+ MCP wiring so the agent knows the PATH and the job
First five minutes
- Fork this template → open the terminal.
- Log into Claude Code (
claudeor your Anthropic key). export PATH="$HOME/.agents/bin:$PATH" && clay login(browser OAuth — pick your workspace).- Restart Claude Code once so Clay MCP sees the session.
- Paste the demo prompt above.
Clay credits/actions are yours — same as the Clay UI. No markup. No mystery keys in the snapshot.
Who this is for
- GTM engineers and founders who already live in Clay
- People who want Claude Code to drive Clay, not re-implement enrichment
- Anyone tired of re-explaining “search then find work email” every session
Who this is not for
- Teams that need the full Clay table UI as the control plane (use Clay’s product)
- Anyone who wants auto-send to Instantly / Outreach on day one (human gate is intentional)
- Free-tier tire-kickers with no Clay plan (searches burn real credits)

The rule that keeps you safe
Never auto-send. This agent builds the list and the first line. You hit send in your sequencer.
Fork it. It’s yours.
