## What it does

This skill is an orchestrator. It does not configure anything itself — it lays out the setup as ordered layers and hands each one to a child skill: `service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-configure` handles the license check, tenant provisioning and feature enable, `service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-access-assign` handles user access, `service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-bundle-deploy` installs the base content bundle, and `service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-discovery-configure` turns on Asset Discovery.

The order is not cosmetic. CMDB enablement is gated by four layers: org license, tenant provisioning, feature enable and user access. Until a layer is satisfied, CMDB Connect calls come back with `403 FUNCTIONALITY_NOT_ENABLED`. The skill verifies each layer before moving on and returns you to the menu with updated status.

Confirm the target org first. The skill writes to a real org — provisioning a tenant, enabling features, assigning permission sets, installing a bundle. If the org was not licensed for CMDB at creation, no API can grant it and setup stops at layer zero. Child skills run through the Salesforce-hosted Headless-360 MCP server, so the same flow works against production and sandbox.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-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/service-itsm-agentic-setup-cmdb-coordinate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- walk through CMDB enablement layer by layer without missing a dependency
- see which setup step you stopped at
- assign CMDB access to the right users
- install the CMDB Foundation base content bundle
- enable Asset Discovery and grant Discovery page access

## Example prompts
- set up CMDB in my Service Cloud ITSM org
- enable Configuration Management Database from scratch and guide me through it
- show me the available CMDB setup steps and what is already done

Use when the user asks to set up CMDB, enable Configuration Management Database, configure the ITSM CMDB, onboard CMDB from scratch, wants a guided walkthrough of CMDB enablement, or asks what CMDB setup steps are available. Triggers on: set up CMDB, enable CMDB, configure CMDB, CMDB onboarding, Configuration Management Database setup, ITSM CMDB walkthrough. DO NOT TRIGGER when: the user asks about a specific CMDB sub-step directly (e.g. only installing a bundle, only assigning permission sets), CMDB record CRUD (creating CIs, relationships), Discovery/Service Graph Connector configuration, or general ITSM queries without CMDB setup intent."

# CMDB Setup Orchestrator (Service Cloud ITSM)

Guide the user through enabling the **Configuration Management Database (CMDB)** in Service Cloud
ITSM by presenting the ordered setup layers, delegating each to a specialized child skill, and
tracking progress until CMDB is usable end-to-end. Each child skill runs through the
**Salesforce-hosted Headless-360 MCP server**, so the same flow works against **production** and
sandbox — the org is bound to the current MCP session, with no per-user MCP install.

## Goal

Act as the top-level coordinator for CMDB enablement. Present the user with the ordered layers,
invoke the appropriate child skill for each, verify the layer succeeded before moving on, and after
each layer completes return to the menu with updated progress until CMDB is ready or the user stops.
```
