Platform Metadata Retrieve
by forcedotcom3c15867bdb9dNo license1K starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated yesterday
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.

Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-forcedotcom-sf-skills-platform-metadata-retrieve/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-forcedotcom-sf-skills-platform-metadata-retrieveAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.
