ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL to retrieve metadata from an org to your local project with sf project retrieve start. Supports retrieval by all changes, source directory, metadata type (wildcards), manifest (package.xml), or package name, in source or metadata (ZIP) format. Use when the user asks to retrieve, pull, sync, or download metadata, Apex classes, or custom objects. DO NOT TRIGGER for deploying metadata (use platform-metadata-deploy), listing metadata, or generating a package.xml (use platform-manifest-generate). NEVER use MCP tools.
Only the file list is public. File contents are available once the skill is installed in a workspace.
