npx tessl skill review --optimize ./plugins/saas-packs/apollo-pack/skills/apollo-reference-architecture/SKILL.mdProduction-ready reference architecture for Apollo.io integrations. Layered design with API client, service layer, background jobs, database models, CRM sync, and deals pipeline — all built around Apollo's REST API with correct endpoints and x-api-key authentication.
