This skill should be used when searching for people, companies, employees, job postings, or news, OR when driving CRM data (contacts, accounts, deals), sequences, phone calls, tasks, analytics, or credit usage in Apollo.io from the terminal. Activates when the user asks to "find people", "search companies", "enrich a contact", "look up employees", "find jobs at a company", "get company news", "create a contact / account / deal", "log a call", "create a task", "add to sequence", "check analytics", "view credit usage", or any task involving Apollo.io data lookup or CRM writes from the terminal.

From the source SKILL.md

Use the apollo CLI to drive Apollo.io end to end: search/enrich people and companies, surface news and job postings, manage CRM contacts/accounts/deals, drive sequences, log phone calls and tasks, pull analytics, and inspect credit usage. Output defaults to JSON for jq piping; use -f, --format to switch to jsonl, csv, yaml, or table.
