Platform Metadata Deploy

This is your DevOps orchestration layer for Salesforce metadata. It handles deployment workflows with sf CLI v2: dry-run validation, manifest-based deploys, CI/CD pipeline guidance, scratch org management, and dependency troubleshooting. The skill enforces a sensible deployment order (objects, then permission sets, then Apex, then Flows as drafts) to prevent common FLS and reference failures. It knows when to delegate, sending Apex authoring to platform-apex-generate and data operations to platform-data-manage. The failure pattern table is genuinely useful, mapping errors like INVALID_CROSS_REFERENCE_KEY to missing dependencies with concrete fixes. It also covers Agentforce deployment sequencing and references Code Analyzer v5, not the retired scanner tool. If you're orchestrating releases rather than writing code, this is the right starting point.
