## What it does

The skill parses targeting details such as job titles, seniority, industry keywords, company size, and location. It finds the requested Apollo sequence, checks linked email accounts, and shows matching people before any contacts are added. It can also list available sequences or load another batch.

After confirmation, it enriches each approved person through Apollo, creates contacts with deduplication enabled, and enrolls them in the selected sequence. The final report includes contacts added, Apollo credits used, and the sending email address. Apollo MCP must be connected because the workflow calls its search, enrichment, contact, and sequence tools.

When Apollo has multiple linked email accounts, the user must choose one before enrollment. Enrichment also requires confirmation because it consumes Apollo credits.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill sequence-load -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill sequence-load -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill sequence-load -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins sequence-load
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill sequence-load -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --path partner-built/apollo/skills/sequence-load
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill sequence-load -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

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

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/tree/HEAD/partner-built/apollo/skills/sequence-load/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find leads by title, company size, and location
- enrich matching people through Apollo
- create contacts with deduplication enabled
- enroll a batch of leads in an outreach sequence
- list available Apollo sequences

## Example prompts
- Run `/apollo:sequence-load` to find 20 VP Sales at SaaS companies and add them to the “Q1 Outbound” sequence.
- Use `/apollo:sequence-load list sequences` to show all available sequences.
- Run `/apollo:sequence-load reload 15 more leads into "Enterprise Pipeline"` to load another batch.

# Sequence Load

Find, enrich, and load contacts into an outreach sequence — end to end. The user provides targeting criteria and a sequence name via "$ARGUMENTS".

## Examples

- `/apollo:sequence-load add 20 VP Sales at SaaS companies to my "Q1 Outbound" sequence`
- `/apollo:sequence-load SDR managers at fintech startups → Cold Outreach v2`
- `/apollo:sequence-load list sequences` (shows all available sequences)
- `/apollo:sequence-load directors of engineering, 500+ employees, US → Demo Follow-up`
- `/apollo:sequence-load reload 15 more leads into "Enterprise Pipeline"`

## Step 1 — Parse Input

From "$ARGUMENTS", extract:

**Targeting criteria:**
- Job titles → `person_titles`
- Seniority levels → `person_seniorities`
- Industry keywords → `q_organization_keyword_tags`
- Company size → `organization_num_employees_ranges`
- Locations → `person_locations` or `organization_locations`

**Sequence info:**
- Sequence name (text after "to", "into", or "→")
- Volume — how many contacts to add (default: 10 if not specified)

If the user just says "list sequences", skip to Step 2 and show all available sequences.

## Step 2 — Find the Sequence

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_search` to find the target sequence:
- Set `q_name` to the sequence name from input

If no match or multiple matches:
- Show all available sequences in a table: | Name | ID | Status |
- Ask the user to pick one

## Step 3 — Get Email Account

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_email_accounts_index` to list linked email accounts.

- If one account → use automatically
- If multiple → show them and ask which to send from

## Step 4 — Find Matching People

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_mixed_people_api_search` with the targeting criteria.
- Set `per_page` to the requested volume (or 10 by default)

Present the candidates in a preview table:

| # | Name | Title | Company | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Ask: **"Add these [N] contacts to [Sequence Name]? This will consume [N] Apollo credits for enrichment."**

Wait for confirmation before proceeding.

## Step 5 — Enrich and Create Contacts

For each approved lead:

1. **Enrich** — Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_people_bulk_match` (batch up to 10 per call) with:
   - `first_name`, `last_name`, `domain` for each person
   - `reveal_personal_emails` set to `true`
```
