fix: tighten ui-bundle skill descriptions to reduce false triggers @W-21800526@ (#162)
* fix: tighten skill descriptions to reduce false triggers

- generating-ui-bundle-metadata: remove generic triggers (metadata, new app,
  meta XML, configuration), update command to sf template generate ui-bundle,
  add --template reactbasic flag
- building-ui-bundle-app: reframe as orchestrator for multi-skill ui-bundle
  work, distinguish from generating-lightning-app

* fix: improve ui-bundle skill descriptions to reduce false triggers and improve activation

- Add MUST activate + file-pattern triggers to all 9 ui-bundle skills
- Remove overly specific examples that waste context tokens
- Scope features skill to authentication and search only
- Add boundary language between orchestrator and frontend skills
- Update metadata skill to use sf template generate ui-bundle --template reactbasic

* fix: standardize uiBundles/*/src/ directory trigger across all ui-bundle skills

* fix: remove React references from skill descriptions for framework agnosticism

* fix: standardize uiBundles/*/src/ trigger in agentforce and data skills

* fix: add 'Use this skill when' trigger context to all ui-bundle skill descriptions

* fix: require mobile-responsive UI in building-ui-bundle-frontend skill

name description
deploying-ui-bundle MUST activate when the project contains a uiBundles/*/src/ directory or sfdx-project.json and the task involves deploying, pushing to an org, or post-deploy setup. Use this skill when deploying a UI bundle app to a Salesforce org. Covers the full deployment sequence: org authentication, pre-deploy build, metadata deployment, permission set assignment, data import, GraphQL schema fetch, and codegen. Activate when files like *.uibundle-meta.xml or sfdx-project.json exist and the user mentions deploying, pushing, org setup, or post-deploy tasks.

Deploying a UI Bundle

The order of operations is critical when deploying to a Salesforce org. This sequence reflects the canonical flow.

Step 1: Org Authentication

Check if the org is connected. If not, authenticate. All subsequent steps require an authenticated org.

Step 2: Pre-deploy UI Bundle Build

Install dependencies and build the UI bundle to produce dist/. Required before deploying UI bundle entities.

Run when: deploying UI bundles and dist/ is missing or source has changed.

Step 3: Deploy Metadata

Check for a manifest (manifest/package.xml or package.xml) first. If present, deploy using the manifest. If not, deploy all metadata from the project.

Deploys objects, layouts, permission sets, Apex classes, UI bundles, and all other metadata. Must complete before schema fetch — the schema reflects org state.

Step 4: Post-deploy Configuration

Deploying does not mean assigning. After deployment:

  • Permission sets / groups — assign to users so they have access to custom objects and fields. Required for GraphQL introspection to return the correct schema.
  • Profiles — ensure users have the correct profile.
  • Other config — named credentials, connected apps, custom settings, flow activation.

Proactive behavior: after a successful deploy, discover permission sets in force-app/main/default/permissionsets/ and assign each one (or ask the user).

Step 5: Data Import (optional)

Only if data/data-plan.json exists. Delete runs in reverse plan order (children before parents). Import uses Anonymous Apex with duplicate rule save enabled.

Always ask the user before importing or cleaning data.

Step 6: GraphQL Schema and Codegen

  1. Set default org
  2. Fetch schema (GraphQL introspection) — writes schema.graphql at project root
  3. Generate types (codegen reads schema locally)

Run when: schema missing, or metadata/permissions changed since last fetch.

Step 7: Final UI Bundle Build

Build the UI bundle if not already done in Step 2.

Summary: Interaction Order

  1. Check/authenticate org
  2. Build UI bundle (if deploying UI bundles)
  3. Deploy metadata
  4. Assign permissions and configure
  5. Import data (if data plan exists, with user confirmation)
  6. Fetch GraphQL schema and run codegen
  7. Build UI bundle (if needed)

Critical Rules

  • Deploy metadata before fetching schema — custom objects/fields appear only after deployment
  • Assign permissions before schema fetch — the user may lack FLS for custom fields
  • Re-run schema fetch and codegen after every metadata deployment that changes objects, fields, or permissions
  • Never skip permission set assignment or data import silently — either run them or ask the user

Post-deploy Checklist

After every successful metadata deploy:

  1. Discover and assign permission sets (or ask the user)
  2. If data/data-plan.json exists, ask the user about data import
  3. Re-run schema fetch and codegen from the UI bundle directory
