## What it does

The skill covers the Archive Connect API operations under `/platform/data-resilience/archive/`: searching archived records, unarchiving them, running the analyzer, RTBF erasure, PII masking and checking storage used. It also handles the part people miss most — reading archive job status from the `ArchiveActivity` object and pulling logs using a job's Id plus its `Type`.

Inside are reference files with exact request and response shapes, an `ArchiveActivity` field reference, and a worked example that finds failed jobs and downloads their execution-detail and failed-records logs. Every call is a `{method, path, body}` REST pair you send with whatever tool you have: an MCP server, the `sf` CLI, or a plain REST client. Note that operation names like `search-archived-records` are labels, not URL paths — drop one into the path and you get a 404.

Two things have to be true before anything runs. The org needs Salesforce Archive enabled, and each operation needs its own user permission on top of that gate; there is no single archive admin role. Search needs `ViewSearchPage`, unarchive needs `UnarchiveSdk`, RTBF and masking share `Rtbf`, while the analyzer and storage check need `ArchiveAnalyzer`. A "not permitted" error points at the missing permission. One more: `ArchiveActivity` is not Flow-queryable, so use SOQL or Connect.

## Requirements

```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-trust-archive-manage -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-trust-archive-manage -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-trust-archive-manage -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/platform-trust-archive-manage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill platform-trust-archive-manage -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- find records that were archived
- restore archived data back into the org
- figure out why an archive job failed
- download the failed-records log for a job
- run RTBF erasure or mask PII in the archive

## Example prompts
- find the archived records for this object with these filters
- why did the archive job fail — show me the ArchiveActivity status
- download the failed records log for this job

# Salesforce Archive

Operate Salesforce Archive (also called Trusted Services Archive) through its Connect API and the `ArchiveActivity` job-metadata object. This skill covers how to search and restore archived records, run the analyzer, handle RTBF erasure and PII masking, check storage, and — the part most often missed — how to read archive job status from `ArchiveActivity` and use a job's Id + Type to download its logs.

## Scope

- **In scope**: Calling the Archive Connect API operations under `/platform/data-resilience/archive/`; querying the `ArchiveActivity` object via SOQL/Connect; correlating a job's `ArchiveActivity` record with its log-download endpoints; the verify-after-write pattern for each async operation.
- **Out of scope**: Defining archive policies / `ArchivePolicyDefinition` metadata; building UI; generating Flows over archive data (`ArchiveActivity` is **not** Flow-queryable — see Gotchas); generic backup/export tooling unrelated to the add-on.
