# Multi-Skill Orchestration: platform-metadata-deploy Perspective
This document details how platform-metadata-deploy fits into the multi-skill workflow for Salesforce development.
---
## Standard Orchestration Order
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STANDARD MULTI-SKILL ORCHESTRATION ORDER │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1. platform-custom-object-generate / platform-custom-field-generate │
│ └── Create object/field definitions (LOCAL files) │
│ │
│ 2. automation-flow-generate │
│ └── Create flow definitions (LOCAL files) │
│ │
│ 3. platform-metadata-deploy ◀── YOU ARE HERE │
│ └── Deploy all metadata (REMOTE) │
│ │
│ 4. platform-data-manage │
│ └── Create test data (REMOTE - objects must exist!) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
---
## Why platform-metadata-deploy Goes Third (Not Last)
platform-metadata-deploy is the **bridge** between local files and the org:
| Before platform-metadata-deploy | After platform-metadata-deploy |
|------------------|-----------------|
| Metadata exists locally | Metadata exists in org |
| Flows reference objects | Flows can run |
| Data can't be created | platform-data-manage can create records |
**platform-data-manage REQUIRES deployed objects**. The error `SObject type 'X' not supported` means objects weren't deployed.
---
## Deploy Order WITHIN platform-metadata-deploy
When deploying multiple metadata types:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ INTERNAL DEPLOY ORDER │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1. Custom Objects & Fields │
│ └── Objects must exist before anything references them │
│ │
│ 2. Permission Sets │
│ └── Field-Level Security requires fields to exist │
│ │
│ 3. Apex Classes │
│ └── @InvocableMethod for Flow actions │
│ │
│ 4. Flows (as Draft) │
│ └── Flows reference fields and Apex │
│ │
│ 5. Activate Flows │
│ └── Change status Draft → Active │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Why this order?**
- Flows need fields to exist
- Users need Permission Sets for field visibility
- Triggers may depend on active flows
- Draft flows can be tested before activation
---
## Integration + Agentforce Extended Order
When deploying agents with external API integrations:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ AGENTFORCE DEPLOYMENT ORDER │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1. integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure → Create OAuth Connected App │
│ 2. integration-connectivity-generate → Create Named Credential + External Service │
│ 3. platform-apex-generate → Create @InvocableMethod (if needed) │
│ 4. automation-flow-generate → Create Flow wrapper │
│ │
│ 5. platform-metadata-deploy ◀── FIRST DEPLOYMENT │
│ └── Deploy: Objects, Fields, Permission Sets, Apex, Flows │
│ │
│ 6. agentforce-generate → Create agent with flow:// target │
│ │
│ 7. platform-metadata-deploy ◀── SECOND DEPLOYMENT (Agent Publish) │
│ └── sf agent publish authoring-bundle --api-name [AgentName] │
│ │
│ 8. platform-data-manage → Create test data │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
---
## Common Deployment Errors from Wrong Order
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `Invalid reference: Quote__c` | Object not deployed | Deploy objects first |
| `Field does not exist: Status__c` | Field not deployed | Deploy fields first |
| `no CustomObject named X found` | Permission Set deployed before object | Deploy objects, then Permission Sets |
| `SObject type 'X' not supported` | platform-data-manage ran before deploy | Deploy before creating data |
| `Flow is invalid` | Flow references missing object | Deploy objects before flows |
| `Flow not found` | Agent references undeploy flow | Deploy flows before agent publish |
---
## Two-Step Deployment Pattern (Recommended)
Always validate before deploying:
```bash
# Step 1: Dry-run validation
sf project deploy start --dry-run --source-dir force-app --target-org alias
# Step 2: Actual deployment (only if validation passes)
sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app --target-org alias
```
---
## Cross-Skill Dependencies
Before deploying, verify these prerequisites:
| Dependency | Check Command | Required For |
|------------|---------------|--------------|
| TAF Package | `sf package installed list` | TAF trigger pattern |
| Custom Objects | `sf sobject describe` | Apex/Flow field refs |
| Permission Sets | `sf org list metadata --metadata-type PermissionSet` | FLS for fields |
| Flows | `sf org list metadata --metadata-type Flow` | Agent actions |
---
## agentforce-generate Integration
For agent deployments, use the specialized commands:
```bash
# Deploy dependencies first
sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass,Flow --target-org alias
# Validate agent syntax
sf agent validate authoring-bundle --api-name AgentName --target-org alias --json
# Publish agent
sf agent publish authoring-bundle --api-name AgentName --target-org alias --json
# Activate a specific BotVersion deterministically in automation
sf agent activate --api-name AgentName --version N --target-org alias --json
```
> If you omit `--version`, activation is interactive. For CI/CD and scripted orchestration, prefer `--version N --json`.

## Invocation Patterns
| From Skill | To platform-metadata-deploy | When |
|------------|--------------|------|
| platform-custom-object-generate | → platform-metadata-deploy | "Deploy objects to [org]" |
| automation-flow-generate | → platform-metadata-deploy | "Deploy flow with --dry-run" |
| platform-apex-generate | → platform-metadata-deploy | "Deploy classes with RunLocalTests" |
| agentforce-generate | → platform-metadata-deploy | "Deploy and publish agent" |
