Platform Validation Rule Generate

This generates Salesforce validation rule metadata files with proper formula syntax and error handling. It's built for creating new rules from scratch or fixing deployment errors, which is nice because validation rule formulas are notoriously finicky with XML escaping and function usage. The skill knows the common gotchas like wrapping formulas in CDATA sections, not using TEXT() on text fields, and remembering CASE() needs an even number of parameters. It also handles the ambiguity when someone says "update the formula" versus "update the formula to also" by either replacing or appending logic. If you're tired of validation rule deployment failures or just want to scaffold rules faster, this handles the boilerplate and keeps you from making the usual mistakes.
