A Make It Ryne Playbook

The Night Shift Lead Machine

Give Claude Code one prompt at midnight and wake up to a verified lead list your competitors would pay a vendor thousands for. Setup time: about 20 minutes. Then you go to bed.

What you'll build

By the end of this playbook you'll have Claude Code running as an autonomous overnight scraper. It works city by city through Google Maps, pulls every business in your niche, visits their websites, grabs owner names and emails, runs a first-pass verification, and saves everything to a clean CSV. It plans its own searches, retries when a site blocks it, and keeps grinding until the list is done.

This is the exact setup from the video. My run cost about forty bucks in API credits. The last list I bought from a vendor cost four grand and half the contacts were stale. Your cost will depend on how big a list you ask for, but the math is not close.

What you need: a computer that can stay on overnight, Node.js 18 or newer, and either a Claude Pro/Max subscription or Anthropic API credits. For a long unattended run, API credits are the safer bet because subscription usage limits can pause the session mid-run.
1

Install Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal agent. It lives in your command line and can run commands, write files, and fix its own errors. Open Terminal (Mac) or PowerShell (Windows) and run:

Terminalnpm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Then start it once to sign in:

Terminalclaude

It will walk you through logging in with your Claude account or an Anthropic Console API key. Sign in, then type /exit. You're installed.

Build the night shift workspace

Never run an unattended agent loose in your home folder. Give it a dedicated sandbox so everything it touches lives in one place:

Terminalmkdir night-shift cd night-shift

Now drop in a rules file. Claude Code automatically reads a file called CLAUDE.md in the working folder and treats it as standing orders. This is what keeps a 6-hour run from going sideways:

Save as CLAUDE.md inside night-shiftRules for this project: - Only scrape publicly available business info. Skip any site that blocks bots in robots.txt. - Throttle requests. A few per second max. Never hammer one site. - Save progress to leads.csv after EVERY city, not at the end. - If a site fails, log it and move on. Never stall the whole run on one error. - Columns: business, city, website, owner_name, email, email_status, why_they_need_us.

That last column matters. You're not just collecting emails, you're making the agent rank who actually needs you. That's what turns a scrape into a sales list.

Paste the midnight prompt

Start Claude Code from inside the night-shift folder, then paste this. It's the prompt from the video with one blank for you to fill:

The promptScrape Google Maps for every [YOUR NICHE] company in the 50 biggest US cities. For each one, visit their website, find the owner's name and email address, check that the email's domain accepts mail, and score how badly they need [YOUR OFFER] based on what you see on their site. Save everything to leads.csv as you go, one city at a time. You can install any free open source tools you need, like gosom/google-maps-scraper. Don't stop until all 50 cities are done.

Swap in your niche: roofing, freight shippers, med spas, HVAC, whatever you sell to. Swap in your offer so the scoring column means something. In the video it was shippers who need a freight broker. Same prompt, different blank.

Claude will plan the searches itself, pick or install a scraper, and start working. Watch the first city complete before you walk away. If the CSV looks right after city one, it'll look right after city fifty.

Set it free and go to bed

By default Claude Code asks permission before running commands, which kills an overnight run because it'll sit there waiting for you to hit yes. Two fixes. The quick one: press Shift+Tab inside the session to cycle into auto-accept mode. The full one: start the session with permissions off entirely:

Terminal (from inside night-shift)claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
Straight talk: that flag means Claude runs commands without asking. That's exactly why we built the sandbox folder and the rules file in Step 2. Use it there, not in folders with anything you care about.

Last thing before lights out: stop your computer from sleeping. On Mac, open a second terminal and run caffeinate -dis and leave it running. On Windows, set Power & Sleep to Never for the night. Laptop plugged in, lid open. Now actually go to bed. Checking on it defeats the entire point.

5

The morning quality pass

You'll wake up to a fat CSV. Do not import it into anything yet. Open the same Claude Code session (or a fresh one in the folder) and run the cleanup:

The morning promptOpen leads.csv. Remove duplicate businesses and duplicate emails. Drop rows with no email. Sort by the need score, best prospects first. Save as leads-clean.csv and give me the final counts: total leads, leads with emails, and the top 20 hottest prospects.

Then spot-check 20 random rows by hand. Click the websites, sanity-check the names. The overnight verification only confirms the domain accepts mail, which catches dead domains but not dead inboxes. Before you send a single cold email, run the clean list through a dedicated verifier like NeverBounce, ZeroBounce, or MillionVerifier. It's cheap, and a high bounce rate will burn your sending domain faster than anything else you can do wrong.

6

Don't torch the list

Everybody's using AI to write the emails. The real money's in who finds the list, and now that's you. So don't blow it in one day:

  • Send from a separate domain, not your main one, and warm it up before real volume.
  • Start small. Low daily sends per inbox, scale as replies come in.
  • Use the scraped data. You have their city, their website, and a reason they need you sitting in that last column. That's your first line, written for you.
  • Play it straight: real from-name, working unsubscribe, honest subject lines. It's the law and it also just converts better.
