deploying-metadata: Comprehensive Salesforce DevOps Automation
Use this skill when the user needs deployment orchestration: dry-run validation, targeted or manifest-based deploys, CI/CD workflow advice, scratch-org management, failure triage, or safe rollout sequencing for Salesforce metadata.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use deploying-metadata when the work involves:
-
sf project deploy start,quick,report, or retrieval workflows -
release sequencing across objects, permission sets, Apex, and Flows
-
CI/CD gates, test-level selection, or deployment reports
-
troubleshooting deployment failures and dependency ordering
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
-
authoring Apex code → generating-apex
-
authoring LWC components → generating-lwc-components
-
creating custom objects or fields → generating-custom-object, generating-custom-field
-
building Flows → generating-flow
-
doing org data operations → handling-sf-data
-
authoring or testing Agentforce agents → developing-agentforce
