## What it does

This skill identifies geographic variations like "US", "USA", or "NY" in HubSpot records and rewrites them into a chosen standard format. Without standard values, regional filters skip contacts that use abbreviations instead of full names.

The workflow uses three Python scripts run via `uv`: `scripts/before.py` tallies existing variant counts, `scripts/execute.py` batch updates records up to 100 items per call, and `scripts/after.py` verifies zero outliers remain. Prerequisites include Python 3.10+ and a `HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN` in your `.env` file with contact and company read/write permissions.

Format alignment with connected systems like Salesforce is mandatory before running the scripts, because mismatched formatting will cause continuous overwrite conflicts between synced tools.

## Requirements
- Works with: HubSpot

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --skill standardize-geo-values -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --skill standardize-geo-values -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --skill standardize-geo-values -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills standardize-geo-values
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/standardize-geo-values/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --skill standardize-geo-values -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --path skills/standardize-geo-values
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills --skill standardize-geo-values -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/TomGranot/hubspot-admin-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/standardize-geo-values/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Spot conflicting country and region variations across HubSpot records
- Batch-update state abbreviations and country codes to standard values
- Verify zero unstandardized geo entries remain after updates
- Align CRM address formats prior to syncing with external systems

## Example prompts
- Run scripts/before.py to audit non-standard country values in contacts
- Execute scripts/execute.py to convert state abbreviations into full names
- Check scripts/after.py to verify that all geographic variants returned zero

# Standardize Country and State/Region Values

Convert inconsistent geographic formats (e.g., "US", "USA", "U.S." vs "United States"; "NY" vs "New York") to a single standard format across all contact and company records.

## Why This Matters

Inconsistent geo values break geographic segmentation. A list filtering for "United States" will miss contacts labeled "US" or "USA". For B2B companies running region-specific campaigns or reporting by geography, this means inaccurate audience sizes and missed contacts.

## Prerequisites

- Phase 1 hygiene processes completed (invalid/deleted contacts removed first)
- A HubSpot service key (`HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN` in `.env`; an existing legacy private app token also works) with contact and company read/write scopes
- Python 3.10+ with [`uv`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)
- Access to Contacts and Companies views with bulk edit permissions
- **Key constraint:** If your CRM integrates with another system (e.g., Salesforce, marketing automation), agree on the standard format (full names vs. ISO codes) with that system's admin BEFORE standardizing. Mismatched formats between synced systems will cause ongoing data conflicts.
- Decision on standard format. This skill recommends:
  - Countries: Full names (e.g., "United States", "United Kingdom")
  - States (contact level): Full names (e.g., "New York", "California")
  - This matches HubSpot's default form behavior

## Interview: Gather Requirements

Before executing, collect the following information from the user:

**Q1: What format do you prefer for country values -- full names (United States) or ISO codes (US)?**
- Examples: Full names ("United States", "United Kingdom"), ISO 2-letter codes ("US", "GB"), ISO 3-letter codes ("USA", "GBR")
- Default: Full names (e.g., "United States", "United Kingdom") -- this matches HubSpot's default form behavior

**Q2: Do you have a Salesforce or other CRM integration that requires a specific format?**
- Examples: "Yes, Salesforce uses ISO 2-letter codes", "Yes, our ERP uses full country names", "No integrations to worry about"
- Default: No integration constraints -- use HubSpot's default full-name format
