unzip clay-people-search-workbook.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/What it does
One table Clay builds fall over at scale. This skill ships the eight table workbook pattern: company intake, qualification, people search, enrichment, verification, and export tables, each with its run order, conditional gates, and cost controls. It encodes the template a certified Clay operator uses for client people sourcing, including where credits get wasted and how the gates prevent it. Output is the full workbook spec ready to build.
