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/hello-world guide. It excels at completeness and trigger term quality with explicit 'Use when' and 'Trigger with' clauses. The main weakness is that the specific capabilities could be more granular—listing concrete steps like creating webhooks, sending test payloads, and parsing enrichment responses would strengthen specificity.
Suggestions
Add more concrete action verbs describing specific steps, e.g., 'Creates a webhook endpoint, sends a test record to Clay, and parses the enriched response' 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. | 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 table. Its main weaknesses are the lack of validation/verification steps (how do you confirm enrichment worked?) and some verbosity from including three language implementations inline rather than splitting them out. The workflow would benefit from explicit checkpoints like 'verify the row appeared in Clay UI' or 'check that enrichment columns populated within 30 seconds'.
Suggestions
Add explicit validation checkpoints after sending records, e.g., 'Step 3: Verify enrichment — open your Clay table and confirm company_name and employee_count are populated. If columns are empty after 30 seconds, check that auto-run is enabled on the enrichment column.'
Move the Node.js and Python examples into separate referenced files (e.g., examples/hello-clay.ts and examples/hello-clay.py) to keep the main skill concise and focused on the bash quick-start path.
Add a verification step or API call to read back the enriched data programmatically, completing the round-trip and confirming the integration works end-to-end.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient but includes some redundancy — the Node.js and Python examples are largely duplicative (both do the same thing in different languages), and the overview paragraph explains what Clay is in a way that could be trimmed. The error handling table and bash examples are well-targeted though. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable code in bash, TypeScript, and Python with concrete examples, specific webhook URLs to replace, and copy-paste ready commands. The error handling table gives specific solutions for specific problems. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps are clearly sequenced from table creation through sending records, but there's no validation checkpoint — no way to verify the webhook was received, no step to check that enrichment actually ran, and no feedback loop for when enrichment columns don't populate. For a workflow involving external API calls and async enrichment, verification steps are important. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is reasonably structured with clear sections, but the Node.js and Python examples could be split into separate reference files to keep the main skill lean. References to clay-install-auth and clay-local-dev-loop are good, but no bundle files exist to support progressive disclosure. The skill is somewhat monolithic at ~100 lines. | 2 / 3 |
