Platform Custom Tab Generate

This generates Salesforce Custom Tab metadata files for object, web, and Visualforce tabs. It's surprisingly strict about XML structure because Salesforce will reject deployments for tiny mistakes like adding a label element to an object tab or including forbidden fields like sobjectName. The skill includes an explicit allowlist of valid elements per tab type and calls out common deployment errors. Worth using if you're tired of debugging metadata validation failures. One nice touch: it reminds you to pick semantically appropriate motifs instead of defaulting every tab to the same icon, which matters more than you'd think for navigation UX.
