The List Cleaner
Dedupe and flag a raw list before it hits a sequence
$ npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills/skills/sdr/the-list-cleanerWhat it does
Dedupes and flags a raw list - wrong titles, stale roles, wrong companies, broken data - before it goes into a sequence.
You'll know it's time when...
A fresh list export is full of duplicates and stale titles, and reps are about to waste a sequence on it.
How it works
Run it in three steps
Install
Copy the install command above and run it in your project.
Ask Claude
Ask for what you need in plain English, no prompt tuning required.
Get the output
Claude returns a structured artifact aligned to your ICP and voice.
The List Cleaner
Take a raw list and return a clean one, with every removal shown, not hidden.
How to run
Ask the user for:
- The list: pasted raw, any format
- Target titles: the roles that belong on this list
- Target company criteria: what makes a company in-bounds (industry, size, geography, whatever applies)
Process
Work through the list and flag every row into one of five checks:
- Duplicates: the same person or company appearing more than once, including different spellings, legal vs. trading names, and a personal email vs. a work email for the same person.
- Wrong title: not in the target title set. Group these together, and if any group is large enough to be its own sequence, say so.
- Likely gone: anyone whose listed role looks out of date. Flag it, do not remove it, and state exactly what made it look stale (an old title alongside a newer signal, a inactive-looking profile, etc.). These rows are kept, but flagged separately below, not returned as unremarkable clean rows.
- Wrong company: outside the target company criteria, with the specific reason.
- Broken data: malformed emails, missing required fields, obvious junk rows.
Output format
Return three things, in this order:
- The cleaned list - only rows that passed all five checks cleanly, with no flag attached.
- Flagged, kept rows - a separate table for every row caught by "Likely gone":
| Row | Why it looks stale |
|---|
- Removed rows - a summary table for everything removed by the other four checks:
| Row | Reason removed | Check that caught it |
|---|
Then a single count line: Started with X, kept clean Y, flagged Z, removed W — X must equal Y plus Z plus W.
Rules
- Never silently delete. Every single removal appears in the summary table with a reason.
- When unsure whether a row belongs, keep it and flag it in "Likely gone" rather than removing it. Reviewing ten flagged rows costs less than losing one good lead.
- Do not invent a reason for removal that isn't backed by something visible in the row's own data.
Quality check before returning
Before returning the output, verify:
- Does every row that was removed appear in the removed-rows table with its specific check and reason?
- Does every "Likely gone" row appear in its own flagged table with a stated reason, rather than sitting unmarked in the clean list or missing entirely?
- Does the count line add up: kept clean + flagged + removed = started?
- Are large wrong-title groups called out as a possible separate sequence, not just discarded?
If any check fails, fix the summary before returning. Do not return a list where the math doesn't add up.

This is one of 12 SDR skills. They chain - the order you run them in changes what you get, and running one in isolation usually means re-answering setup another skill already captured. 12 best Claude Code skills for SDRs walks the whole pack in the order the skills actually chain.
Two ways to run it.
Pick your Claude surface. Both paths take under a minute.
npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills installs the whole set via the community skills CLI. If you'd rather not run a third-party CLI, use either path below to install the ZIP directly.- Open Settings, then Capabilities
- Turn on code execution if it isn't already on
- Upload the .zip you downloaded
- Unzip the download
- Drop the folder into

Questions about The List Cleaner
Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.
Dedupes and flags a raw list - wrong titles, stale roles, wrong companies, broken data - before it goes into a sequence. It's a Claude Agent Skill - a folder with a SKILL.md file and reference material - so Claude loads the methodology on demand when you ask for what you need in plain language, instead of you pasting a template.
