Install and connect the tools

I use Claude Code to run the lead work. I decide who we're going after, give it the tools and instructions, then check the people and files it brings back.

Here's how I set it up.

Give Claude the skills and the brief

  1. Open Claude Code on your computer and start a project for this campaign.
  2. Download my two skills. Give Claude the ZIP and ask it to install both skills in this project. Keep the whole download together.
  3. Tell Claude what you sell, who buys it, and which companies or people to leave out. The next page has an example you can copy.
  4. Tell it which of the tools below you already have. Ask it to check what it can access and show you anything you need to sign into or approve. Do those steps, then have Claude check the connection again.

The two skills have different jobs. One tells Claude how to plan and find the leads. The other cleans the list. Claude handles the code behind that. I want you checking the targeting, the spend, and the finished result.

What I use each tool for

ToolWhat I want it to do
Claude CodeTake the brief, run the work, and bring back the list with an explanation of what it did and spent.
BlitzAPIFind companies and people who match the brief, then make the first attempt at finding their work emails.
LeadOceanFind more people in that same market and try the contacts still missing an email.
MoltSetsAdd coverage from another source and find more of the missing work emails.
LeadMagicMake another attempt at the work emails the earlier tools couldn't find.
AI ArkFill more of the remaining email gaps.
ProspeoMake the final attempt for people still missing an email.
No2Bounce • EmailListVerifyCheck the email addresses before they go into the sending list.

I start with the tools I already have access to. Claude tells me what's connected, what's missing, and what another provider adds before I pay for it.

The order matters

I search BlitzAPI, LeadOcean, and MoltSets for the same market, then combine the results. Each one can find people the others missed.

For missing emails, I use BlitzAPI → LeadOcean → MoltSets → LeadMagic → AI Ark → Prospeo. This is the waterfall: try the next tool only when we still need an email. Once we've found and checked a usable address, that person is done.

Tell Claude to use that order. The example order inside the download is older, so I give it the current instructions here.

Give Claude this

Help me set up my lead-generation project using the two skills
in the attached ZIP. Install them and check that they can run.
I sell: [your product or service]
My buyers are: [roles, company types, company size, locations]
Leave out: [customers, competitors, and other exclusions]
Tools I already have: [names]
Maximum spend for the first test: [amount]
Check which tools you can use. If you need me to sign in or
approve access, show me the exact next step, then check it again.
Use BlitzAPI, LeadOcean, and MoltSets to search the same market.
For missing work emails, use this order:
BlitzAPI, LeadOcean, MoltSets, LeadMagic, AI Ark, Prospeo.
Check the emails with No2Bounce and EmailListVerify.
Only move people to the next finder if they still need an email.
Save these instructions in the project so we can reuse them.
Show me what's ready, what's missing, and what the first test
will cost. Don't run the full list yet.

Before I move on, I want Claude to show me three things: the brief it's going to follow, the tools it can use, and the cost of the first small test. Then I build the sample on the next page.
