What it is

The repository organizes code into tracks covering strategy, infrastructure, list building, copywriting, and iteration. It includes integrations for tools like Smartlead, Prospeo, and Zapmail, plus bundled company list dumps.

Who it's for

It suits technical founders and outbound agencies comfortable configuring API keys and using Claude Code. It does not suit non-technical users looking for a traditional point-and-click SaaS dashboard.

Infrastructure Management

Automates domain setup on Dynadot, inbox provisioning on Zapmail, and deliverability audits.

Multi-Source List Building

Scrapes Google Maps, exports Prospeo searches, and builds lookalike company lists programmatically.

Signal Playbooks

Provides 19 playbooks translating buying signals into copy-ready sentences for Claude or Clay.

Our honest verdict

What's great

  • Covers the full outbound lifecycle from domain purchase to positive reply scoring.
  • Includes pre-cleaned company list dumps such as 259K Shopify stores and US software firms.
  • Provides both manual step-by-step tutorials and automated orchestrators.
  • Ships specific playbooks for person, company, and website buying signals.

Where it falls short

  • Requires active API keys and accounts for multiple paid third-party services like Prospeo and Smartlead.
  • Requires technical familiarity with Claude Code and terminal environments.
  • Clay table and workflow playbooks are specifications that require manual building and testing.
Cost

Pricing & license

Free under the MIT license, but running it requires your own paid API keys and subscriptions for services like Smartlead, Prospeo, Dynadot, and Zapmail.
