## What it does

This skill streamlines bulk write-backs to HubSpot. Instead of checking whether an object exists and then creating it, it pipes reshaped JSONL directly into `hubspot objects upsert`. The CLI processes batches of 100 records per API call, using the email address for contacts or the domain for companies. Lowercasing the natural key is required because CRM matching is case-exact.

Safety relies on a two-step routine. A preview command runs with `--dry-run` to output a digest and confirm count. Rerunning the exact same input stream with `--digest` and `--confirm` executes the write. The CLI outputs per-line status objects, letting you split successes and errors with `jq`.

For lookups without write-backs, the skill handles multi-property queries with repeated `--filter` flags. The HubSpot search API limits this to 5 OR groups per request; sending 6 or more returns a 400 error.

## Requirements
- Works with: HubSpot

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/data-enrichment/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill data-enrichment -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --path data-enrichment
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/data-enrichment/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill data-enrichment -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- match and update HubSpot contacts from external CSV files by email
- enrich HubSpot companies in batches using domain names as keys
- preview bulk CRM mutations safely using `--dry-run` and digests
- isolate and retry failed records from JSONL batch outputs

## Example prompts
- Run a dry-run upsert for contacts from `external.jsonl` matching on email
- Enrich HubSpot companies from `leads.csv` keyed by domain
- Split `results.jsonl` into successful records and errors using jq

Prereq: read `bulk-operations/SKILL.md` first — JSONL piping, dry-run/digest, history, and rate-limit hygiene live there. This skill is the upsert-by-natural-key workflow on top.

## The core move: upsert, not search-then-create

`hubspot objects upsert --type X --id-property <natural-key>` reads JSONL on stdin and creates-or-updates each row in **one CLI call** (the CLI batches 100 rows per API request), keyed by a property (email for contacts, domain for companies). No race window, no branching. Do not loop `search` → empty? → `create`.

Per line in: `{"id":"jane@example.com","properties":{"firstname":"Jane","jobtitle":"VP"}}`
Per line out: `{"id":"123","ok":true,"data":{...}}` or `{"ok":false,"error":{...}}`. Order matches input. The CLI adds no fields of its own — `data` is the raw batch-upsert API result row.

## CSV/JSONL → upsert stream

Reshape with `jq`, preview with `--dry-run`, then execute. `upsert` is irreversible, so the execute step re-pipes the SAME inputs plus the `--digest`/`--confirm` lifted from the preview line (upsert confirm = the row count, always). Always lowercase the natural key — CRM match is exact. Confirm available property names with `hubspot properties list --type contacts`; never hard-code a list. See `bulk-operations/resources/json-patterns.md` for reshape idioms.

```bash
# CSV → JSONL (any tool); example using csvkit
csvjson external.csv | jq -c '.[]' > external.jsonl

# Preview
cat external.jsonl \
| jq -c '{id:(.email|ascii_downcase), properties:{firstname:.first, lastname:.last, jobtitle:.title, company:.company}}' \
| hubspot objects upsert --type contacts --id-property email --dry-run \
| tee /tmp/upsert.preview.jsonl

# Lift the digest + confirm (present at every row count; upsert confirm = the row count)
digest=$(jq -r 'select(.digest != null) | .digest' /tmp/upsert.preview.jsonl)
confirm=$(jq -r 'select(.digest != null) | .target.id' /tmp/upsert.preview.jsonl)

# Execute — same pipeline, plus --digest/--confirm, capture results
cat external.jsonl \
| jq -c '{id:(.email|ascii_downcase), properties:{firstname:.first, lastname:.last, jobtitle:.title, company:.company}}' \
| hubspot objects upsert --type contacts --id-property email --digest "$digest" --confirm "$confirm" \
| tee /tmp/upsert.results.jsonl
```

Companies: swap `--type companies --id-property domain` and reshape with `.domain|ascii_downcase` as `id`.
