Do I need an API key to use this?

Yes, you must have a valid Clay API key. The skill expects it to be configured as an environment variable named CLAY_API_KEY.

Which programming languages are supported?

The skill generates code snippets and file structures for both TypeScript (using @clay/sdk) and Python.

What is the next step after setting up the Hello World example?

Once connectivity is verified, you are encouraged to move to the 'clay-local-dev-loop' skill to establish a full development workflow.

How do I trigger this skill in Claude Code?

You can trigger it using natural language phrases like 'clay hello world', 'clay quick start', or 'simple clay code'.
