## What it does

The skill walks an agent through DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, Network and CustomSite metadata. It scaffolds a site, adds pages as a route plus a view, and configures LWC components, layouts, themes and branding sets. Guest access for public sites is covered too: `sharingGuestRules` and sharing records with unauthenticated visitors.

Bundled reference docs must be loaded before anything else — site creation from a template, routes, views, theme layouts, branding, UUID generation for component and region ids, UI component discovery, and guest sharing rules. Node.js 18.0.0 or newer and Salesforce CLI 2.0.0 or newer are required, and some operations need the `metadata-experts` MCP server with the `execute_metadata_action` tool. If that tool is missing, the skill tells you to pause.

Only the Build Your Own (LWR) template, `talon-template-byo`, is supported. React and other ui bundle frameworks never trigger it, which matters if your project mixes LWR with regular LWC bundles. Flexipage is abstracted away for newer LWR sites with DigitalExperienceBundle, so Flexipage tooling does not apply here. Have the site name ready before you start; the URL path prefix can be derived from it, but the skill asks you to confirm the converted value.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwr-site-generate -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwr-site-generate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwr-site-generate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/experience-lwr-site-generate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/experience-lwr-site-generate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwr-site-generate -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/experience-lwr-site-generate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- scaffold a new Experience Cloud LWR site from the Build Your Own template
- add a page by creating a route and its view
- set brand colors, fonts and styling tokens for a site
- expose records to unauthenticated visitors with `sharingGuestRules`
- debug a failed Experience LWR metadata deployment

## Example prompts
- Create a new LWR Experience Cloud site from talon-template-byo, site name My Community
- Add a catalog page to the site: a route and a view with a list component
- Set up a guest sharing rule on Case so unauthenticated visitors can see their own cases

Build and configure Salesforce Experience Cloud Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) sites via metadata (DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, Network, CustomSite, CMS contents).

## IMPORTANT!!

Right after loading this skill, you MUST copy the selected workflows/steps to your plan as a TODO checklist and work on each of the item carefully to ensure correctness.
You MUST load the relevant reference docs even though they may live outside of user's project folder.

## Table of Contents

- When to Use
- Critical Rules
- Core Site Properties
- Project Structure in DigitalExperienceBundle Format
- Reference Docs
- Common Workflows

## When to Use

When working with Experience LWR sites:

- Creating and scaffolding new LWR site
- Adding pages (routes + views)
- Configuring LWC components, layouts, themes, or branding styles
- Setting up guest user access (public sites)
- Creating or modifying **guest sharing rules** (`sharingGuestRules`) for any Salesforce object (Account, Case, Contact, etc.) — including when the user refers to a "Site Guest User" username or any guest user by ID
- Troubleshoot deployment errors related to Experience LWR Sites

**Supported Template**: Build Your Own (LWR) - `talon-template-byo`
```
