## What it does

The skill talks to the Data Cloud SSOT REST API and returns either every DLO or DMO in an org, or the detailed schema of a single object: field names, data types, primary key flag, nullable status. The DLO list also carries category, status and record count, so you can tell which objects actually hold data.

Two Python scripts ship inside the `scripts/` subdirectory: `get_dlo_schema.py` and `get_dmo_schema.py`. The first argument is the SF CLI org alias, the second is an optional developer name such as `Employee__dll` or `Individual__dlm`. Before calling them, the skill runs `sf org list` and `sf org display --target-org <org_alias> --json` to confirm the org is connected.

You need `sf` CLI 2.0.0 or newer, `python3` 3.10.0 or newer and `pip` 23.0.0 or newer, with Data Cloud enabled and permissions granted in the target org. A 403 means the user lacks Data Cloud access, and no schema will come back until that is fixed. If an object is not found, list everything first and check the developer name.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill data360-schema-get -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/data360-schema-get/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill data360-schema-get -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill data360-schema-get -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills data360-schema-get
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill data360-schema-get -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/data360-schema-get
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill data360-schema-get -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/data360-schema-get/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- list every DLO in a Data Cloud org
- read field types for one DMO
- spot primary keys and nullable fields
- separate custom fields from system ones like `cdp_sys_*`
- check which DLOs hold records and which are empty

## Example prompts
- Show me all DLOs in the myorg org
- Get the schema for Employee__dll in afvibe
- What DMOs exist in myorg and what fields does Individual__dlm have

# data360-schema-get Skill


## Overview

This skill retrieves Data Lake Object (DLO) and Data Model Object (DMO) schema information from Salesforce Data Cloud using the SSOT REST API. It can list all DLOs or DMOs in an org, or retrieve detailed schema for a specific DLO or DMO.

## When to Use

- User wants to see all DLOs or DMOs in a Data Cloud org
- User needs field schema for a specific DLO or DMO
- User is exploring Data Cloud data structures
- User needs to understand DLO or DMO field types and metadata

## Prerequisites

- SF CLI installed and authenticated to target org
- Org has Data Cloud enabled
- User has appropriate Data Cloud permissions

## Skill Execution

### Parameters

1. **org_alias** (required): The SF CLI org alias (e.g., 'afvibe', 'myorg')
2. **dlo_name** (optional): Specific DLO developer name (e.g., 'Employee__dll')
3. **dmo_name** (optional): Specific DMO developer name (e.g., 'Individual__dlm')

### Step 1: Discover Connected Org

First, run `sf org list` to find out which org is connected and extract the alias to use for all subsequent calls:

```bash
sf org list
```

Example output:
```text
┌────┬───────┬──────────────────────────┬────────────────────┬───────────┐
│    │ Alias │ Username                 │ Org Id             │ Status    │
├────┼───────┼──────────────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────┤
│    │ myorg │ chandresh@afvidedemo.org │ 00DKZ00000b80NT2AY │ Connected │
└────┴───────┴──────────────────────────┴────────────────────┴───────────┘
```

Extract the **Alias** value (e.g., `myorg`) from the output and use it as the `<org_alias>` for all subsequent calls. Use `--all` to see expired and deleted scratch orgs as well.
