What it does
MUST USE this skill for ANY sandbox request, including simply getting a sandbox's details, status, license type, or pending-activation state by name or ID. TRIGGER when the user: types \"sandbox -help\"/\"sandbox help\"; mentions a sandbox ID (07E prefix); asks to list or show sandboxes; asks for the details, status, license type, or config of a sandbox by name or ID; activates or discards a completed refresh; deletes a sandbox; verifies activation or deletion; creates or refreshes a sandbox. DO NOT TRIGGER when: the user wants to clone a sandbox.
Sandbox Lifecycle Management
Manage Salesforce sandbox environments through Connect REST API, list inventory, activate or discard completed refreshes, create and refresh sandboxes, and permanently delete sandboxes.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use platform-sandbox-configure when the work involves:
- Listing or retrieving all sandboxes (GET /sandbox/reports)
- Getting details or status of a specific sandbox by name or by ID (07E prefix)
- Checking license usage and remaining capacity by license type (GET /sandbox/licenses)
- Activating a sandbox after a refresh completes (applying the refresh)
- Discarding a completed refresh (keeping existing sandbox data unchanged)
- Permanently deleting a sandbox to free up licenses
- Verifying activation or deletion completed
- Creating a new sandbox (Developer, Developer Pro, Partial Copy, or Full)
- Refreshing an existing sandbox with latest production data
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
- Cloning a sandbox → Tooling API (
SandboxInfosObject) - Generating a post-copy automation JSON config from an SOP →
automation-sandbox-post-copy-config-generate - Applying/running a post-copy automation JSON config against a sandbox →
automation-sandbox-post-copy-configure
Help (Interactive Menu)
When the user types sandbox -help or sandbox help, respond with ONLY a text message showing the numbered operation list below. Do NOT call any API or tool, just display this menu and wait for the user to reply with a number.
The agent MUST respond with this exact markdown (not in a code block, render it directly as a bullet list):
Sandbox Lifecycle Management
1. Inventory & Details
- a. List all sandboxes, Names, types, statuses, IDs
- b. Get details (by name), Status, license, config
- c. Get details (by ID), Provide a 07E ID directly
- d. Check license usage, Available vs. used counts by license type
