Platform Metadata Api Context Get

This is your go-to when you're hand-editing Salesforce metadata XML files or need to know what fields a metadata type supports. It covers all 604 Metadata API types with their field definitions, required attributes, and XML structure. The skill is built around JSON files that include verbose WSDL segments, so the key workflow is loading only specific sections you need (like "fields" or "description") rather than whole files, which saves 60-80% of your token budget. Comes with Python, JavaScript, and bash examples showing exactly how to extract sections programmatically. Most useful when you're working in a Salesforce DX project and need to understand what goes in those .object-meta.xml or .flow-meta.xml files.
