Salesforce Deployment Constraints

What it does

This skill encodes a deployment safety checklist and gating rules for Salesforce metadata deployments. It guides agents to perform validation-only deploys, enforce appropriate test levels and code coverage, order metadata correctly, capture pre-deploy snapshots before destructive changes, and require rollback plans for production releases.

When to use it

Activate this skill when preparing or executing deployments, promotions, or packaging of Salesforce metadata to shared sandboxes or production orgs. It's intended for pipeline/automation agents and engineers who must avoid partial or destructive deploys and maintain org stability. Do not use for simple local development pushes to scratch orgs.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false)
• References: references folder hinted but not included (has_references=false)
• Instructions: prescriptive rules (Never/Always lists), an 11-step dependency order for metadata types, anti-pattern table, and a quick reference production deploy sequence.

Compatible agents

Best for CI/CD and automation agents that orchestrate Salesforce CLI commands (sf), such as Claude-Code, Cursor, or custom CI runners that can run sf CLI and enforce policy checks.
