clay-hello-world
Send your first record to Clay and get enriched data back. Use when starting a new Clay integration, testing webhook setup, or verifying that enrichment columns are working. Trigger with phrases like "clay hello world", "clay example", "clay quick start", "first clay enrichment", "test clay webhook".

Discovery
89%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-structured skill description that clearly communicates its purpose as a Clay integration quickstart guide. It excels at completeness with explicit 'Use when' and 'Trigger with' clauses, and the trigger terms are natural and varied. The main weakness is that the specific capabilities could be more concrete—listing discrete actions beyond 'send a record and get data back' would strengthen it.
Suggestions
Add more specific concrete actions, e.g., 'Creates a webhook endpoint, sends a sample record to Clay, and validates enrichment column responses' to improve specificity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | It names the domain (Clay integration) and describes some actions ('send your first record', 'get enriched data back'), but the actions are not comprehensively listed—it's more of a getting-started description than a list of concrete capabilities like 'create webhook endpoint, send test record, parse enrichment response'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (send first record to Clay, get enriched data back) and 'when' (starting a new Clay integration, testing webhook setup, verifying enrichment columns) with explicit trigger phrases. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent trigger term coverage with natural phrases users would actually say: 'clay hello world', 'clay example', 'clay quick start', 'first clay enrichment', 'test clay webhook'. These are realistic and varied search terms. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very distinct niche—Clay integration hello world/quickstart is unlikely to conflict with other skills. The specific product name 'Clay' and the beginner/testing context make it clearly distinguishable. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
64%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a solid hello-world skill with excellent actionability — concrete, executable examples across multiple languages with a useful error handling table. Its main weaknesses are the lack of validation/verification steps (no way to programmatically confirm enrichment worked) and some verbosity from including three language implementations inline rather than splitting them into referenced files. The workflow would benefit from an explicit 'verify it worked' step.
Suggestions
Add a verification step (e.g., a curl command or API call to check the Clay table) to confirm enrichment completed successfully, creating a feedback loop.
Move the Node.js and Python examples into separate referenced files (e.g., EXAMPLES_NODE.md, EXAMPLES_PYTHON.md) to keep the main skill lean and improve progressive disclosure.
Add a brief validation checkpoint after Step 2 before proceeding to batch operations — e.g., 'Check your Clay table to confirm the row appeared and enrichment columns populated before sending more records.'
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is reasonably efficient but includes some redundancy — providing both Node.js and Python examples for essentially the same operation (POST to webhook) adds bulk. The overview sentence explaining what Clay is ('Clay does not have a traditional SDK...') is borderline useful but slightly verbose. The batch send step and multiple language examples could be trimmed or moved to a reference file. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable code in bash, TypeScript, and Python with concrete examples, specific URLs, real domain names, and proper error handling. The curl commands and code snippets are copy-paste ready with clear placeholder conventions (YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID). | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced from table creation through sending records, but there are no validation checkpoints — no step to verify the webhook is working, no way to confirm enrichment completed, and no feedback loop for checking results programmatically. The 'Output' section describes expected results but doesn't provide a verification command or API call to confirm enrichment succeeded. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is well-structured with clear sections, but it's somewhat monolithic — the Node.js and Python examples could be in separate reference files. The error handling table and resources are appropriately placed. References to 'clay-install-auth' and 'clay-local-dev-loop' provide good navigation, but no bundle files exist to support progressive disclosure. | 2 / 3 |
