One prompt to set up Clay and build your lead list

Paste it into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Your agent handles setup, sign-in, workspace selection, and the workflow from end to end.

Help me set up Clay and build this lead-generation workflow end to end.

1. Read and follow https://github.com/clay-run/agent-plugins/blob/main/GETTING_STARTED.md. Install the Clay agent plugin, run its setup skill, put the clay CLI on PATH, and open the Clay sign-in flow. Verify authentication with clay whoami. If no Clay workspace is available, pause and guide me through creating one in the browser, then continue in this same coding-agent session.

2. Confirm which Clay workspace to use. Before any paid action, explain what will use Clay credits and ask me to continue.

3. Find 50 HVAC and home-service companies across Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. For each, get the owner or general manager, a verified work email, a phone number, the website, and the Google rating and review count.

4. Use Clay Searches and available enrichment routines to build and run the workflow. Return the results in a structured table, summarize any failed or missing enrichments, and tell me what you completed.
