Consolidate webapp skills @W-21338965@ (#118)
* Consolidate webapp skills into three focused skills

Merge 10 granular webapp skills into 3 consolidated skills:
- generating-webapp-ui: pages, components, layout, navigation, design
- generating-webapp-metadata: scaffolding, bundles, CSP, deployment
- generating-webapp-features: feature CLI (search, describe, install)

Keep standalone: implementing-webapp-file-upload,
implementing-webapp-agentforce-conversation-client (renamed from managing-),
using-webapp-salesforce-data.

Remove data visualization skill (not helpful).
Remove system-level instructions (a4drules refs, shell commands).
Incorporate Anthropic frontend-design skill content into UI skill.

* Fix frontmatter name to match directory for agentforce skill

generating-webapp-features Search and install pre-built features into Salesforce React web applications — authentication, shadcn, search, navigation, GraphQL, Agentforce AI, and more. Use whenever searching for or installing features. Always check for an existing feature before building from scratch. Triggers on: install feature, add authentication, add shadcn, add feature, search features, list features.

Web Application Features

Installing Pre-built Features

Always check for an existing feature before building something from scratch. The features CLI installs pre-built, tested packages into Salesforce webapps — from foundational UI libraries (shadcn/ui) to full-stack capabilities (authentication, search, navigation, GraphQL, Agentforce AI).

Workflow

  1. Search project code first — check src/ for existing implementations before installing anything. Scope searches to src/ to avoid matching node_modules/ or dist/.

  2. Search available features — use npx @salesforce/webapps-features-experimental list with --search <query> to filter by keyword. Use --verbose for full descriptions.

  3. Describe a feature — use npx @salesforce/webapps-features-experimental describe <feature> to see components, dependencies, copy operations, and example files.

  4. Install — use npx @salesforce/webapps-features-experimental install <feature> --webapp-dir <name>. Key options:

    • --dry-run to preview changes
    • --yes for non-interactive mode (skips conflicts)
    • --on-conflict error to detect conflicts, then --conflict-resolution <file> to resolve them

If no matching feature is found, ask the user before building a custom implementation — a relevant feature may exist under a different name.

Conflict Handling

In non-interactive environments, use the two-pass approach: first run with --on-conflict error to detect conflicts, then create a resolution JSON file ({ "path": "skip" | "overwrite" }) and re-run with --conflict-resolution.

Post-install: Integrating Example Files

Features may include __example__ files showing integration patterns. For each:

  1. Read the example file to understand the pattern
  2. Read the target file (shown in describe output)
  3. Apply the pattern from the example into the target
  4. Delete the example file after successful integration

Hint Placeholders

Some copy paths use <descriptive-name> placeholders (e.g., <desired-page-with-search-input>) that the CLI does not resolve. After installation, rename or relocate these files to the intended target, or integrate their patterns into an existing file.
