## What it does

The skill works on the `hubspot_owner_id` field across `contacts`, `companies`, `deals` and `tickets`. Owners are CRM users, and `hubspot owners list` returns them. There is no teams object, so a team-level view is built client-side: records are grouped by `hubspot_owner_id` and joined to the owner list for readable emails.

Read `bulk-operations/SKILL.md` first. JSONL piping, pagination, the dry-run/digest/confirm flow and `hubspot history` recovery all live there. Owner IDs are portal-specific, so never hardcode them: resolve an email to an ID, then cache the result.

Bulk reassignment runs search → update. Each search row is reshaped into `{id, properties:{hubspot_owner_id}}` and piped to `objects update`. That call is irreversible, so dry-run first and read the digest, then repeat with `--digest` and `--confirm`. The rep-leaves workflow loops over all four object types. If something lands on the wrong owner, `hubspot history --since 1h` lists the affected IDs.

## Requirements
- Works with: HubSpot

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HubSpot/agent-cli-skills --skill team-ownership -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/HubSpot/agent-cli-skills/tree/HEAD/team-ownership/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- move a departing rep's records to a teammate
- list every deal and ticket owned by one person
- count how many records each rep holds
- find deals with no owner and assign one
- set the owner on a single record without a JSONL pipe

## Example prompts
- show every deal owned by sarah@company.com
- reassign the leaving rep's contacts and tickets to taking-over@company.com, dry-run first
- group open deals by owner and print the email with a count

name: team-ownership
description: Assign and reassign CRM record ownership, audit who-owns-what across object types, and handle rep transitions. Built on `bulk-operations`.

  - "assign owner"

Prereq: read `bulk-operations/SKILL.md` first. JSONL piping, pagination, dry-run/digest/confirm, and `hubspot history` recovery live there. Reshape patterns live in `bulk-operations/resources/json-patterns.md`.

`hubspot_owner_id` is a string field on `contacts`, `companies`, `deals`, and `tickets`. Owners are CRM users — `hubspot owners list` returns them; there is no `teams` object, so team-level views are client-side groupings by `hubspot_owner_id`.

## 1. Resolve email → owner ID

Never hardcode IDs — they are portal-specific. Resolve, then cache:

```bash
FROM_ID=$(hubspot owners list | jq -r 'select(.email=="sarah@company.com") | .id')
TO_ID=$(hubspot owners list | jq -r 'select(.email=="mike@company.com")  | .id')
```

## 2. Find records for an owner

Same filter across all four object types. Add object-specific `--properties` for context. Unowned records use the `!property` form.

```bash
hubspot objects search --type contacts  --filter "hubspot_owner_id=$FROM_ID" --properties email,firstname,lifecyclestage
hubspot objects search --type companies --filter "hubspot_owner_id=$FROM_ID" --properties name,domain
hubspot objects search --type deals     --filter "hubspot_owner_id=$FROM_ID" --properties dealname,dealstage,amount
hubspot objects search --type tickets   --filter "hubspot_owner_id=$FROM_ID" --properties subject,hs_pipeline_stage

# Records with no owner at all
hubspot objects search --type deals --filter "!hubspot_owner_id" --properties dealname,amount
```

>100 hits — page with the `--after` loop from `bulk-operations`. Counting only: pipe to `wc -l`.

## 3. Bulk reassign — search → update

Reshape each search row into `{id, properties:{hubspot_owner_id}}` and pipe to `objects update`. `objects update` is irreversible, so dry-run first: the dry-run emits a digest + `apply_command_hint` at every size (confirm = the record ID for one record, the row count for a batch). Then re-run with `--digest`/`--confirm` (see `bulk-operations/SKILL.md` § "Safe destructive workflow").

```bash
# Dry-run
hubspot objects search --type contacts --filter "hubspot_owner_id=$FROM_ID" \
| jq -c --arg to "$TO_ID" '{id, properties:{hubspot_owner_id:$to}}' \
| hubspot objects update --type contacts --dry-run \
| tee /tmp/reassign.preview.jsonl

# Execute — lift the digest + confirm from the preview line (required at every size)
````
