This is the skill you want when you're running `sf project deploy` commands, validating packages, or setting up CI/CD pipelines for Salesforce. It covers the full deployment workflow: dry runs, manifest-based deploys, quick deploys after validation, and troubleshooting dependency errors. The docs are thorough on deploy ordering (objects before permission sets before Apex before Flows) and include failure pattern tables that map errors like `INVALID_CROSS_REFERENCE_KEY` to root causes. It explicitly delegates to other skills for authoring work, so if you're writing Apex or building LWCs, look elsewhere. The CI/CD guidance is practical, including test level selection and the shift from deprecated `sf scanner` to Code Analyzer v5. Strong reference section with orchestration playbooks and agent deployment sequencing.
