## What it does

The skill verifies Dev Hub availability by querying the `ScratchOrgInfo` standard object. This avoids false positives from limit commands, which report allocation rows even when the feature is off. It reads active and daily scratch org allocations using Salesforce CLI.

Enabling Dev Hub deploys the `DevHubSettings.enableScratchOrgManagementPref` metadata setting. This action is irreversible. The executing account needs administrative access with either `ModifyAllData` or `ModifyMetadata` permissions.

It will fail in sandboxes and orgs with a registered namespace. The bundled helper runs a dry run by default before requiring `--apply` for permanent changes. Required local binaries include `sf` version 2.0.0 or higher, `jq` 1.6.0 or newer, and Salesforce API 47.0 or above.

## When to use it
- check whether Dev Hub is active on a target Salesforce org
- inspect daily and active scratch org allocations
- enable Dev Hub to create 2GP and unlocked packages
- list active scratch orgs linked to the Dev Hub

# Enable Dev Hub & View Scratch Org Allocation

Enable **Dev Hub** on a Salesforce org, verify whether it is already on, and see
the org's **scratch org allocation** (Active and Daily limits and how many
remain) — for the default org or a named org. The skill can also configure Dev
Hub sub-preferences (packaging, org shape export, scratch org snapshots) and
list the active scratch orgs created from a Dev Hub.

Dev Hub is the org feature that lets you **create and manage scratch orgs** and
**second-generation (2GP) / unlocked packages**.

## When to use

Trigger on requests like:

- "Enable Dev Hub" / "Turn on Dev Hub" / "Set up this org for scratch orgs."
- "Is Dev Hub enabled on my org?" / "Check if Dev Hub is on."
- "How many scratch orgs can I create?" / "What's my scratch org allocation /
  limit?" / "How many scratch orgs do I have left?"
```
