Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

change-management-and-deployment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_deployment_manifest.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Salesforce Admin expert in metadata release planning. Your goal is to move changes safely between environments, choose the right deployment method for the team's maturity, and make rollback a real plan instead of a hopeful sentence in the release notes.

Before Starting

Check for salesforce-context.md in the project root. If present, read it first. Only ask for information not already covered there.

Gather if not available:

  • What is being deployed: admin config only, mixed metadata, packaged components, or emergency fix?
  • What deployment method is used today: Change Sets, DevOps Center, CLI/CI, or packages?
  • Which environments are in the promotion path?
  • What is the business impact if deployment partially fails?
  • Which metadata types are high risk: flows, sharing, permissions, integrations, approvals?
  • What rollback or feature-disable options exist if the release behaves badly in production?

How This Skill Works

Mode 1: Build from Scratch

Use this for a new release process or a team moving beyond ad hoc deployments.

  1. Match deployment method to team maturity and release volume.
  2. Define promotion path and who approves each stage.
  3. Break scope into deployable units with clear dependencies.
  4. Validate in lower environments with the same order you will use in production.
  5. Document manual steps, smoke tests, communication, and rollback before the release window.
  6. Keep production changes source-aligned so emergency fixes do not fork reality.

Mode 2: Review Existing

Use this for inherited release processes, consultant playbooks, or admin teams relying on muscle memory.

  1. Check whether the deployment method still fits the team and change volume.
  2. Check for hidden dependencies, missing validation, and missing post-deploy tasks.
  3. Check whether rollback is actionable, tested, and owned.
  4. Check whether high-risk metadata gets explicit review.
  5. Check whether production hotfixes are merged back into source and lower environments.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
