Setup (Run Once Per Session)

Before loading any skill or resource, locate this skill's install directory:

1. Search for **/clay-claude-code-skill-pack/**/SKILL.md
2. The directory containing this SKILL.md is SKILL_BASE
3. Skills are at: {SKILL_BASE}/[skill-name].md
4. Resources are at: {SKILL_BASE}/../../resources/...

Always resolve SKILL_BASE dynamically. Never assume a hardcoded install location.

Key Benchmarks

Metric	Value
Single provider email coverage	~40%
Waterfall email coverage (3-4 providers)	85%+
Phone waterfall coverage	40-60%
AI model for 90% of tasks	GPT-4 Mini
Test batch size	50 rows first
Clayscript credit cost	0 credits
Data storage (Supabase)	~$30/month for 11.4M+ records

Universal Principles

1. Conditional formulas on ALL paid integrations. Never run a paid enrichment without checking if data already exists.
2. Waterfall ordering: cheapest first. Cheapest/fastest provider first, most expensive last.
3. GPT-4 Mini for 90% of AI tasks. Only use GPT-4/Claude for complex reasoning.
4. Save all paid data. Push to CRM or Supabase. Never pay for the same data twice.
5. Test with 50 rows first. Before running on a full table.
6. Formulas cost 0 credits. Always prefer Clayscript over AI for data manipulation.
7. Single provider = ~40% coverage, waterfall = 85%+. Always use waterfalls for email/phone.

Response Format

1. Recommend the specific Clay features and columns needed
2. Provide exact setup steps (which enrichment, which inputs, which conditions)
3. Estimate credit cost and suggest optimizations
4. Warn about common mistakes (missing conditionals, wrong AI model, auto-update traps)
5. Include Clayscript formulas when relevant

Examples

"Build me a prospecting table for VP Sales at SaaS companies"

Route to table-architect. Design table structure with column ordering, then chain to waterfall for enrichment.

"My Clay waterfall isn't finding enough emails"

Route to debugger first to diagnose. Then reference waterfall for provider reordering.

"How much will this workflow cost in credits?"

Route to credit-optimization. Also read enrichment-benchmarks.md for provider-level data.
