Commands

List objects and records:

attio record list people               # List people records
attio record list companies            # List company records

Work with lists (pipelines):

bash

attio list list-all                    # List all lists
attio entry list <list-slug>           # List entries in a list

Get detailed info:

bash

attio object get <object-slug>         # Get object details
attio object attributes <object-slug>  # Get object attributes
attio list attributes <list-slug>      # Get list entry attributes

Generate Workspace Schema

Generate a markdown schema of your workspace for context:

bash

bash {baseDir}/scripts/generate-schema.sh > {baseDir}/workspace.schema.md

This creates a reference file documenting all objects, attributes, lists, and field options in your workspace.

Objects	Base record types	People, Companies, Deals
Lists	Pipeline/workflow management	Sales Pipeline, Hiring
Records	Individual items in objects	A specific person or company

• Lists are commonly used to manage pipelines (sales stages, hiring workflows, etc.).
• The CLI requires jq for JSON processing in schema generation.
