Platform Lightning App Coordinate

When you need to build a complete Salesforce Lightning app from a natural language description, this orchestrates the whole process in the right dependency order. It handles everything from custom objects and fields through tabs, FlexiPages, and permission sets, calling the specialized skills for each metadata type while making sure objects exist before fields, fields before tabs, tabs before the app container. The key insight here is the strict enforcement of loading skills AND calling salesforce-api-context before generating anything, which prevents the deployment failures you get when you skip validation. If you're just creating one object or one page, use those specific skills instead. This is for when someone says "build me a project management app" and you need to coordinate a dozen interdependent components.

Generating Lightning App

Overview

Build a complete, deployable Salesforce Lightning Experience application from a natural language description by defining a Lightning Custom Application and orchestrating its dependent metadata types in correct dependency order. Invoke specialized metadata skills when available; generate metadata directly when no skill exists.

When to Use This Skill

Use when:

User requests a "Lightning app", or "end-to-end solution"
User says "build an app", "create an application", "build a [type] app" (project management, tracking, etc.)
The work produces a custom app (CustomApplication) plus supporting metadata, not a lone object, page, or tab in isolation

Examples that should trigger this skill:

"Build a project management lightning app with Tasks, Resources, and Supplies objects"
"Create a LEX app to track vehicles with Lightning pages and permission sets"
"I need a Space Station management system with multiple objects and relationships"
"Build an employee onboarding lightning app with custom Lightning Record Pages"

Do NOT use when:
