SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of changing which Salesforce org the CLI uses, so you can move between scratch orgs, sandboxes, and production targets without manual configuration mistakes.

  • Local or Global Scope: Supports project-only changes by default, with an explicit global option when needed.
  • Verification and Fallbacks: Confirms the saved setting and surfaces guidance when the org is not authorized or environment variables override the config.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to switch the active Salesforce org to the alias or username you provide and confirm that the new target-org is set correctly.
