Experience LWR Site Builder

Build and configure Salesforce Experience Cloud Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) sites via metadata (DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, Network, CustomSite, CMS contents).

IMPORTANT!!

Right after loading this skill, you MUST copy the selected workflows/steps to your plan as a TODO checklist and work on each of the item carefully to ensure correctness. You MUST load the relevant reference docs even though they may live outside of user's project folder.

When to Use

When working with Experience LWR sites:

• Creating and scaffolding new LWR site
• Adding pages (routes + views)
• Configuring LWC components, layouts, themes, or branding styles
• Setting up guest user access (public sites)
• Creating or modifying **guest sharing rules** (`sharingGuestRules`) for any Salesforce object (Account, Case, Contact, etc.) — including when the user refers to a "Site Guest User" username or any guest user by ID
• Troubleshoot deployment errors related to Experience LWR Sites

**Supported Template**: Build Your Own (LWR) - `talon-template-byo`

• More templates to support in the future.

Critical Rules

1. Before using any MCP tool, make sure they're actually available. If a tool is missing for the current task, let the user know and pause the current workflow. 2. **MUST ALWAYS** load the relevant reference docs before doing anything. 3. **MUST ALWAYS** strictly follow workflows in [Common Workflows](#common-workflows) that match user's requirements. The instructions there should override any conflicting global rules and should have the highest priority over your existing knowledge. 4. Flexipage is abstracted away for newer LWR sites with DigitalExperienceBundle, so **NEVER** use any Flexipage-related MCP tool or skills to handle LWR sites' contents.

Core Site Properties

Before doing anything else, note down the following properties from the local project if available as they will be used for various operations. Check with the user if any of the following is missing:

• **Site name**: Required. (e.g., `'My Community'`).
• **URL path prefix**: Optional. Alphanumeric characters only. Convert from site name if not provided (e.g., `'mycommunity'`) and verify with the user for the converted value.
• **Template type devName**: `talon-template-byo`.

Project Structure in DigitalExperienceBundle Format

Site Metadata

• DigitalExperienceConfig
• `digitalExperienceConfigs/{siteName}1.digitalExperienceConfig-meta.xml`
• DigitalExperienceBundle
• `digitalExperiences/site/{siteName}1/{siteName}1.digitalExperience-meta.xml`
• Network
• `networks/{siteName}.network-meta.xml`
• CustomSite
• `sites/{siteName}.site-meta.xml`

DigitalExperience Contents

• `digitalExperiences/site/{siteName}1/sfdc_cms__*/{contentApiName}/*`
• These are the content components defining routes, views, theme layouts, etc. Each component must have a `_meta.json` and `content.json` file.

Content Type Descriptions

| Content Type | Description | When to Use | |-|-|-| | `sfdc_cms__site` | Root site configuration containing site-wide settings | Required for every site; one per site | | `sfdc_cms__appPage` | Application page container that groups routes and views | Required; defines the app shell | | `sfdc_cms__route` | URL routing definition mapping paths to views | Create one for each page/URL path | | `sfdc_cms__view` | Page layout and component structure | Create one for each route; defines page content. Also use to edit existing views (e.g., adding/removing components on a specific page) | | `sfdc_cms__brandingSet` | Brand colors, fonts, and styling tokens | Required; defines site-wide styling. Use to create or edit existing branding sets | | `sfdc_cms__languageSettings` | Language and localization configuration | Required; defines supported languages | | `sfdc_cms__mobilePublisherConfig` | Mobile app publishing settings | Required for mobile app deployment | | `sfdc_cms__theme` | Theme definition referencing layouts and branding | Required; one per site | | `sfdc_cms__themeLayout` | Page layout templates used by views | Create layouts for different page structures. Also use to edit existing theme layouts (e.g., updating theme layout, add a component that's persistent across pages) |

**Important:** Creating any new pages require BOTH `sfdc_cms__route` AND `sfdc_cms__view`.

Object Pages

Object Pages are dedicated pages used to display and manage record-level data for a specific Salesforce entity/object. For example, an custom object "Car" should have "Car_Detail", "Car_List", and "Car_Related_list" views.
