## What it does

The skill takes a bundle that already sits under `<packageDir>/uiBundles/<name>/` and walks it through 2GP: making it packageable, picking managed or unlocked, creating the package and version with `sf package`, then installing, upgrading or uninstalling it in another org and debugging what breaks. It is reference knowledge, not a runbook. Ask about one step and you get that step, not the whole build-create-install-promote sequence.

You need a Dev Hub for anything that creates a package, and a subscriber org only for install, upgrade or uninstall. Mixing those two up is the usual mess. On the Dev Hub, Setup → Dev Hub must have both "Enable Dev Hub" and "Enable Unlocked Packages and Second-Generation Managed Packages" switched on. Until the second one is on, `sf package create` returns `NOT_FOUND` and a `Package2` query reports the sObject type as unsupported. No CLI flag flips it. The skill expects `sf` 2.0.0 or newer, `node` 18.0.0 or newer, `npm` 7.0.0 or newer and `jq` 1.6 or newer.

Flavour decides the namespace and how the bundle is named on install. Managed and namespaced unlocked both need a namespace registered and linked to this Dev Hub. Org-dependent unlocked installs flat and collides with a local bundle of the same name. If all you want is source deployed into one org, this is the wrong skill — that is `experience-ui-bundle-deploy`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy -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-ui-bundle-2gp-deploy/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- make an existing UI Bundle packageable
- choose between managed and unlocked flavour
- create a package and version with `sf package`
- install or upgrade the package in another org
- debug a failed install in a subscriber org

## Example prompts
- make my UI Bundle packageable for 2GP
- create an unlocked package and a new version for this bundle
- why does the package install fail in the subscriber org

# Package an existing UI Bundle (2GP)

How to take a **UI Bundle that already exists in the current project**
(under `<packageDir>/uiBundles/<name>/`, where `<packageDir>` is the package
directory from `sfdx-project.json` — commonly `force-app/main/default`) and ship
it as a **second-generation package** (2GP), then install / upgrade / uninstall
it in another org.

**This is reference knowledge, not a runbook to execute top-to-bottom.** The
user already has a project and a built (or buildable) bundle. Read their intent
and apply only the matching part:

**Answer only what was asked.** Give the commands for the one part the user
needs plus the org each targets and any genuine caveat — nothing else. Do **not**
```
