What it does when it runs

Clay tables — explain one cell by walking a column backward through its dependencies and run-gate to the origin or root cause. Use when the user asks "where did this value come from?", "why did {action} error?", "why didn't {action} run?", or "why is this value empty?".

Picked up without a restart. A project skill of the same name is shadowed by your personal one. For one repository only, swap ~/.claude/skills for .claude/skills. Claude Code docs ↗

Or take the whole library

This repo ships a .claude-plugin manifest, so Claude Code can install all 13 skills at once. Plugin skills are invoked as /<plugin>:<skill>, so they never collide with your own.

/plugin marketplace add clay-run/agent-plugins
/plugin

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

The skill

Source on GitHub ↗

The source carries no licence at all, so no permission to redistribute it exists. Everything else on this page is our own reading of the file and is published here; the text of the skill is not, and stays where its author put it.

Other skills for the same job

Different authors, same problem. Matched on the words in the skill name, across every library in the catalogue except this one.
