GoHighLevel CLI Builder

What it does

This skill exposes the most common GoHighLevel operations (contacts, automations, native forms, round-robin calendars, funnels, landing pages, batch email campaigns, smart lists, contract templates, and SaaS sub-account audits) as repeatable commands. It lets you build and version an account's configuration without clicking through the UI, leaving everything ready for human review.

When to use it

• When you need to replicate the same GHL setup across multiple sub-accounts
• When you want to quickly audit workflows, forms, or calendars on an account
• When you're building a new email campaign or funnel and want it staged as a draft before activating

Steps

1. Connect the GoHighLevel API using an agency or sub-account key
2. List current state: contacts, workflows, existing calendars, funnels
3. Define the desired change (new workflow, form, calendar, funnel, or campaign)
4. Generate the resource as a draft or staging version inside GHL
5. Validate fields, triggers, and round-robin logic before exposing it
6. Present a change summary to the user and wait for explicit approval before publishing or activating

# GoHighLevel CLI Builder

## 1. Purpose
Turn repetitive GoHighLevel configuration work into versionable commands: contacts, native workflows, forms, round-robin calendars, funnels, landing pages, batch email campaigns, smart lists, contract templates, and SaaS sub-account audits.

## 2. When to use it
Use this skill if you administer multiple GHL sub-accounts, need to clone configurations between clients, or build funnels and automations often and want to stop depending on the visual editor for every small tweak.

## 3. Connection and scope
Connect the API using an agency or sub-account key with the minimum required scopes. Never paste the key directly into chat; always reference it from environment variables or a secrets manager.

## 4. Workflow
1. Inspect the account's current state (contacts, workflows, calendars, funnels).
2. Specify the resource to create or modify.
3. Generate the resource in draft/staging mode.
4. Validate triggers, form fields, and round-robin assignment logic.
5. Show a readable summary of the proposed changes.

## 5. SaaS sub-account audits
For SaaS accounts, the skill also runs a periodic audit: checks configured payments, active contract templates, and stale smart lists, producing a report instead of changing anything automatically.

## 6. Safety rules
- Every change is generated as a draft first.
- Nothing is published, sent, or activated (campaigns, live workflows, charges) without explicit user approval.
- Contact data, metrics, or results are never invented: missing information is asked for.
- No API key, token, or password is ever written in chat; always via environment variable or managed secret.

## 7. Deliverable
A summary of proposed changes, the exact command to apply them, and the staging state in GoHighLevel, waiting for the green light before going to production.
