## What it does

This skill provides instructions for querying HubSpot CRM directly through the `hubspot` command-line tool. It covers exact matches for email and domain, batch ID lookups for up to 100 items, and token searches on names using the `~` operator. Client-side substring filtering relies on piping JSON output to `jq`.

For account mapping, the skill chains `hubspot associations list` into batch `hubspot objects get` calls instead of spawning separate processes per ID. Without the `hubspot` CLI installed and authenticated, the assistant cannot execute any lookups. All instructions in this skill are strictly read-only.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill crm-lookup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/crm-lookup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/crm-lookup/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill crm-lookup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/crm-lookup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill crm-lookup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/crm-lookup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install HubSpot/agent-cli-skills crm-lookup

## Source of truth

`hubspot <command> --help` is authoritative. Read [`bulk-operations/SKILL.md`](../bulk-operations/SKILL.md) first — it owns JSONL piping, pagination, batch-get-via-stdin, and the safety flow for any write that comes after a lookup. This skill is read-only.

## Pick properties from the live schema

Schemas drift. Run `hubspot properties list --type <type>` for the live set. First-pass `--properties` for a brief:

| Object | `--properties` |
|---|---|
| contacts | `email,firstname,lastname,company,phone,lifecyclestage,hubspot_owner_id` |
| companies | `name,domain,industry,annualrevenue,numberofemployees,hubspot_owner_id` |
| deals | `dealname,amount,dealstage,closedate,hubspot_owner_id,hs_is_closed_won` |
| tickets | `subject,hs_pipeline_stage,hs_ticket_priority,hubspot_owner_id` |

Contact ad/campaign attribution lives on `hs_analytics_*` (e.g. `hs_analytics_source`, `hs_analytics_source_data_1`/`_2`, `hs_analytics_first_touch_converting_campaign`, `hs_analytics_last_touch_converting_campaign`). Full list: `hubspot properties list --type contacts | grep hs_analytics_`.

## 1. Lookup by ID

Up to ~100 IDs in a single batch call:

```bash
hubspot objects get --type contacts 12345 67890 23456 --properties email,firstname,lastname,company,phone,lifecyclestage
```

## 2. Find one by email / domain (exact match)

`email`/`domain` are exact-match — normalize to lowercase. Multiple `--filter` flags are OR'd.

```bash
hubspot objects search --type contacts --filter "email=jane@acme.com" \
  --properties email,firstname,lastname,company,lifecyclestage,hubspot_owner_id

hubspot objects search --type companies --filter "domain=acme.com" \
  --properties name,domain,industry,annualrevenue,hubspot_owner_id

# OR — multiple emails in one call
hubspot objects search --type contacts \
  --filter "email=alice@acme.com" --filter "email=bob@acme.com" --properties email,firstname
```

## 3. Find by partial name (token + client-side narrowing)

`~` is CONTAINS_TOKEN — matches whole space-separated words. `dealname~acme` finds "Acme Renewal" but **not** "AcmeCorp". For substring, pipe to `jq`. There's no full-text search across all fields — pick the property.

```bash
hubspot objects search --type deals --filter "dealname~acme" --properties dealname,amount,dealstage \
| jq -c 'select(.properties.dealname | ascii_downcase | contains("acme corp"))'
```

## 4. Find all associated records (two CLI calls, not xargs)

Pattern: `associations list` → `jq -c '{id}'` → `objects get` batch. **Never** `xargs -I{} hubspot objects get …` — that spawns one process per record. Use **plural** in `--from` (`contacts:12345`), exactly as `--help` shows.

```bash
# All contacts at a company
hubspot associations list --from companies:67890 --to contacts \
| jq -c '{id}' \
| hubspot objects get --type contacts --properties email,firstname,lastname,jobtitle
