## What it does

This skill turns a natural-language request into a deployable Salesforce Lightning Experience application. It coordinates custom objects, fields, tabs, pages, and access settings when the request needs connected components rather than one isolated metadata item.

It builds in dependency order: the data model first, then requested validation rules or flows, followed by interface metadata, the app container, and permission sets. When a dedicated metadata skill exists, it loads that skill; otherwise it creates metadata directly.

For each metadata type except Flow, it must query `salesforce-api-context` before generation. Flows run through the `metadata-experts` pipeline instead. These MCP tools are prerequisites, so check their availability first.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-lightning-app-coordinate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-lightning-app-coordinate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-lightning-app-coordinate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills platform-lightning-app-coordinate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-lightning-app-coordinate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-lightning-app-coordinate -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/platform-lightning-app-coordinate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a Lightning app from a text request
- create linked custom objects and fields
- order metadata generation by dependencies
- configure app access through permission sets

## Example prompts
- Build a Lightning app for project management with `Tasks`, `Resources`, and `Supplies` objects.
- Create a LEX app to track vehicles with Lightning pages and permission sets.
- Build an employee onboarding app with custom Lightning record pages.

# Generating Lightning App

## Overview

Build a complete, deployable Salesforce Lightning Experience application from a natural language description by defining a Lightning Custom Application and orchestrating its dependent metadata types in correct dependency order. Invoke specialized metadata skills when available; generate metadata directly when no skill exists.

## When to Use This Skill

**Use when:**

- User requests a "Lightning app", or "end-to-end solution"
- User says "build an app", "create an application", "build a [type] app" (project management, tracking, etc.)
- The work produces a custom app (CustomApplication) plus supporting metadata, not a lone object, page, or tab in isolation

**Examples that should trigger this skill:**

- "Build a project management lightning app with Tasks, Resources, and Supplies objects"
- "Create a LEX app to track vehicles with Lightning pages and permission sets"
- "I need a Space Station management system with multiple objects and relationships"
- "Build an employee onboarding lightning app with custom Lightning Record Pages"

**Do NOT use when:**

- Creating a single metadata component (use specific metadata skill instead)
- Troubleshooting or debugging existing metadata
- Building Salesforce Classic apps (not Lightning Experience)
- User asks for just one object, or just one page, or just one permission set (without others)
```
