# dx-org-trial-expiration-check

Checks when your Salesforce orgs expire, or whether they already have. Handy when a trial is running out and you lost track of the date.

## What it does

The skill reads `Organization.TrialExpirationDate` over SOQL and reports days remaining, what has already lapsed, and what is about to. Scratch orgs are handled differently: their date comes from `sf org list`, so no query is issued for them. Output is grouped by urgency — expired first, then anything ending within 7 days, then active orgs, then orgs with no trial expiration. A null field on paid or production orgs is expected, not a failure.

A bundled bash script, `scripts/check_expiration.sh`, does the date math and builds the report. Call it by absolute path from the skill directory: a relative `./scripts/` resolves against your current folder and will run the wrong file or fail outright. Flags combine freely — `--all` walks every authenticated org, `--within 30` narrows to orgs ending in that window, `--json` and `--csv` produce machine-readable records, `--preserve` prints backup commands, `--renew` prints extension guidance, and `--fail-if-expiring` exits with code 3 when something lapses soon.

You need `sf` 2.0.0 or newer and `jq` 1.6.0 or newer. The skill only reads and prints advice; it never creates, deletes, refreshes or switches an org. When an org cannot be queried, the script surfaces the `sf org login web` command it prints — worth acting on before the trial quietly runs out.

## When to use it
- find out how many days are left on a trial
- list every authenticated org that expires soon
- emit JSON or CSV for cron jobs and alerts
- print backup commands for an org about to lapse
- learn how to extend a trial or Developer Edition org

## Example prompts
- when does my trial org expire?
- which of my orgs expire within 30 days?
- give me JSON for all orgs so I can set up an alert

# Org Expiration Check

Determine when a Salesforce org expires, how many days remain, and whether it
has already expired — for one org, the default org, or every authenticated org.
Results are **prioritized** (already-expired and soonest-expiring first) with a
one-line summary. The skill can also emit machine-readable output for alerting,
print **backup** commands for an at-risk org, and explain how to **renew** an
expiring trial or Developer Edition org.

## When to use

Trigger on requests like:

- "When does my trial org expire?" / "Is it still active or has it expired?"
- "How many days are left on my trial?"
- "Which of my orgs are expiring soon?" / "expiring within 30 days?"
- "Alert me / set up a cron job for expiring orgs" (use `--json` + `--fail-if-expiring`).
- "Back up my org before it expires" (use `--preserve`).
```
