✅ Powerful Skills

High-value skills that chain multiple Apollo APIs into complete workflows:

Skill	What it does
/apollo:enrich-lead	Drop a name, LinkedIn URL, or email and get a full contact card with company context and next actions
/apollo:prospect	Describe your ICP in plain English and get a ranked table of enriched decision-makers
/apollo:sequence-load	Find leads, enrich them, dedupe, and bulk-add them to an Apollo sequence with a preview before enrollment
/apollo:analytics	Ask any sales performance question and get formatted tables from real Apollo analytics data

/apollo:enrich-lead

Best for: one-off enrichment and fast lead lookups.
Input: name, company, LinkedIn URL, or email
Output: enriched profile (role, location, company context) and suggested next steps

/apollo:prospect

Best for: turning an ICP into a shortlist fast.
Input: ICP description (industry, size, geography, titles)
Output: ranked lead table with enriched decision-makers

/apollo:sequence-load

Best for: taking action on a list.
Input: targeting criteria + target sequence
Output: preview of candidates, enrichment + dedupe, then bulk enrollment into the sequence

/apollo:analytics

Best for: answering performance questions without opening a dashboard.
Input: any question about emails, calls, meetings, tasks, opportunities, sequences, or conversation intelligence
Output: formatted tables with real Apollo data, broken down by rep, team, time, sequence, stage, or any other dimension

Important: sequence enrollment may trigger outbound depending on your sequence settings and sending configuration.

🧠 Model Recommendations (Quality-First)

Recommended: Opus (best quality)

Use Opus when you want the strongest reasoning and the most reliable multi-step tool orchestration.

• Best for: prospecting workflows, ambiguous matches, multi-step chaining, and anything high-stakes
• Tradeoff: higher latency and higher model usage cost on the Anthropic side

Strong fallback: Sonnet (faster)

Use Sonnet when you want speed for quick lookups, smaller jobs, or rapid iteration.

• Best for: quick searches, lightweight enrichment, and tight loops
• Tradeoff: may require more user guidance for complex multi-step workflows

In Claude Code, you can switch models via /model.

⚠️ Apollo Credits and Safety

Some operations consume Apollo credits:

• People enrichment typically costs 1 credit per person
• Bulk enrichment consumes credits based on how many people are enriched

This plugin is designed to warn and request confirmation before credit-consuming actions by default.

Sequence safety:

• Adding contacts to a sequence can enroll them into an active sequence
• Depending on your sequence settings, outbound may start automatically
• Always verify your sequence name, sending account, and enrollment volume before confirming
