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

platform-metadata-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/deploy.sh), 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

platform-metadata-deploy: Comprehensive Salesforce DevOps Automation

Use this skill when the user needs deployment orchestration: dry-run validation, targeted or manifest-based deploys, CI/CD workflow advice, scratch-org management, failure triage, or safe rollout sequencing for Salesforce metadata.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use platform-metadata-deploy when the work involves:

  • sf project deploy start, quick, report, or retrieval workflows
  • release sequencing across objects, permission sets, Apex, and Flows
  • CI/CD gates, test-level selection, or deployment reports
  • troubleshooting deployment failures and dependency ordering

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:


Critical Operating Rules

  • Use sf CLI v2 only.
  • On non-source-tracking orgs, deploy/retrieve commands require an explicit scope such as --source-dir, --metadata, or --manifest.
  • Prefer --dry-run first before real deploys.
  • For Flows, deploy safely and activate only after validation.
  • Keep test-data creation guidance delegated to platform-data-manage after metadata is validated or deployed.

Default deployment order

Phase Metadata
1 Custom objects / fields
2 Permission sets
3 Apex
4 Flows as Draft
5 Flow activation / post-verify

This ordering prevents many dependency and FLS failures.

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.
