## What it does

This skill monitors asynchronous Salesforce DevOps Center requests via `sf devops request status` with `--json` output. It runs strictly read-only checks without modifying pipeline state. The process requires a request token and a target org alias.

The check handles two-level CLI semantics deterministically. A `.result.status` value of `SUCCESS` means only that request processing finished, not that the deploy succeeded. The actual outcome depends on `.result.errorDetails`. Any non-null error detail flags a deployment failure despite a success status.

Under the hood, the skill relies on `scripts/poll-status.sh`. It performs either a single check or a polling loop with a default interval of 10 seconds. The skill requires `sf` version 2.0.0 or higher, `jq` at least 1.6, and API version 58.0.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

## When to use it
- poll the status of an async deploy in DevOps Center
- monitor change promotion progress using a request token
- retrieve detailed error messages when an operation fails
- inspect release progress without altering pipeline state

## Example prompts
- Check the status of DevOps Center request `<request-token>`
- Poll request `<request-token>` for target org `<alias>` until it finishes

# DevOps Center Request Status

Polls the status of an asynchronous DevOps Center request — a promotion or deploy operation — by its request token via `sf devops request status`. Provides headless, `--json`-driven, read-only status checks for autonomous release workflows in CI. This skill never mutates pipeline state; it only reports the current status of an in-flight or completed request.

## Scope

- **In scope**: Check the status of a single async request by its request token; interpret the two-level outcome (request-processing `.result.status` vs. the `.result.errorDetails` failure oracle); poll with backoff until a request finishes or a caller-supplied timeout is reached; surface parsed error details on failure
- **Out of scope**: Initiating a promotion or deploy (use `dx-devops-promote`), work item creation/status updates (use `dx-devops-work-item-manage`), conflict detection, running `sf devops promotion complete` (that is the caller's next step after this skill confirms success), pipeline or project setup

---

## Required Inputs

Gather or infer before proceeding:

- **Request token** (required): the request token returned in the `dx-devops-promote` promote response. Passed via `-i/--request-token`. Without it, this skill cannot proceed — ask for it or obtain it from the prior promote step's output
- **Target org**: `-o/--target-org <alias>` (required unless the `target-org` config variable is set)

Defaults unless specified:
- Output format: `--json` for headless consumption
- Polling interval: 10 seconds between checks; cap total wait at a caller-supplied timeout (default 30 minutes). Never poll faster than every 5 seconds — DOCe API rate limits apply
```
