## What it does

The skill turns on the `service-cloud-itsm-discovery-integration` feature in a Salesforce production or sandbox org. It then grants access to the Discovery page by assigning the `ItSrvcDscvrMgrPermissionSet` permission set and its license to a specified user.

Operations run through the Salesforce-hosted `headless-360` MCP server tools: `discover`, `describe`, `dispatch_readonly`, and `dispatch`. The skill never handles org credentials because the target org is derived from the OAuth JWT bound to the active MCP session. If the base CMDB feature is not yet enabled, the discovery activation will cascade-enable it automatically when no blockers exist.

Prerequisites require the `OrgPermissions.ITSrvcsCnfgMgmnt` permission and API version 67.0 or higher. This skill covers only the Discovery layer. Managing CI record access, installing bundles, or provisioning tenants require separate earlier skills in the setup stack.

## 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-discovery-configure -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

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

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

## When to use it
- enable `service-cloud-itsm-discovery-integration` in Service Cloud ITSM
- grant Discovery page access to a designated user
- assign the `IT Service Discovery Manager` permission set and license
- verify pre-check blocker status before turning on CMDB discovery

## Example prompts

# Enable CMDB Asset Discovery (Service Cloud ITSM)

Turns on **Asset Discovery** for CMDB by enabling the `service-cloud-itsm-discovery-integration`
feature, then grants a user access to the **Discovery page** by assigning the **IT Service Discovery
Manager** permission set (and its permission-set license). This is the **final layer** of CMDB setup —
it runs only after the base CMDB feature is enabled, users have CMDB access, and the CMDB Foundation
```
