## Skills

- [Use D&B Hoovers with AI, safely](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/d-b-hoovers/skills/essentials.md): Sets up the D&B Hoovers connector for accurate work: confirms the account and scope, picks the right company, contact, list or report tool, and asks before changing any list.
- [Triage D&B Hoovers accounts by buying timing](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/d-b-hoovers/skills/account-intent-and-triggers.md): Ranks your existing D&B Hoovers accounts by timing, combining buying intent, website visits, news triggers and technology changes into a prioritised view with a reason for each rank. It confirms the account set and time window before pulling signals.
- [Company due diligence on D&B Hoovers](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/d-b-hoovers/skills/company-due-diligence.md): Builds a sourced profile of one company before a sales or partnership conversation, covering the corporate family, competitors, technology, recent triggers and contacts. It flags which facts are verified, dated or unverified, and asks you to pick the right entity when names are ambiguous.
- [Clean up and sync a D&B Hoovers list with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/d-b-hoovers/skills/list-hygiene-and-sync.md): Audits an existing Hoovers list for duplicates, mismatched companies and stale records, then proposes a reviewed change set. Nothing is written to the list until you approve the exact changes.
- [Build a verified prospect list in D&B Hoovers](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/d-b-hoovers/skills/prospect-list-building.md): Turns your ideal customer profile into a scored, de-duplicated list of companies and contacts. It confirms each company's identity before listing it and asks before writing anything to a shared list.

### What is a D&B Hoovers agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each D&B Hoovers skill describes one job, which D&B Hoovers tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the D&B Hoovers skills change anything on their own?

5 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in D&B Hoovers.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect D&B Hoovers; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the D&B Hoovers MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the D&B Hoovers MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The D&B Hoovers MCP setup guide covers every client.
