Retrieving Datacloud

This is your Data Cloud query and search layer. It handles SQL execution (sync, paginated, and async), table introspection, vector and hybrid search, and search index lifecycle management through the sf data360 CLI plugin. The skill enforces the distinction between Data Cloud SQL and standard SOQL, runs readiness checks before operations, and keeps you from guessing column names by running describe first. It owns retrieval workflows but explicitly delegates segment design to segmenting-datacloud and CRM queries to querying-soql. The built-in gotchas list is honest about prefilter limitations and HNSW parameter constraints. If you're running queries against Data Cloud objects or managing search indexes, this is the right entry point.
