✅ 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. <br> Input: name, company, LinkedIn URL, or email <br> Output: enriched profile (role, location, company context) and suggested next steps
/apollo:prospect
Best for: turning an ICP into a shortlist fast. <br> Input: ICP description (industry, size, geography, titles) <br> Output: ranked lead table with enriched decision-makers
/apollo:sequence-load
Best for: taking action on a list. <br> Input: targeting criteria + target sequence <br> Output: preview of candidates, enrichment + dedupe, then bulk enrollment into the sequence
/apollo:analytics
Best for: answering performance questions without opening a dashboard. <br> Input: any question about emails, calls, meetings, tasks, opportunities, sequences, or conversation intelligence <br> 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

- “Show me email and call performance by rep for this quarter, sorted by calls made.”
