Generating Flow

This is the skill you reach for when you need to generate Salesforce Flow metadata without writing XML by hand. It handles Screen Flows, Autolaunched Flows, Record-Triggered Flows, and Scheduled Flows by running a strict three-step pipeline: fetch your org's schema metadata, select the flow elements, then generate the XML piece by piece until complete. The pipeline is mandatory and runs through the execute_metadata_action MCP tool. No shortcuts, no manual XML editing. One practical detail worth knowing: the final generation step loops element by element, so a flow with fifteen components means fifteen calls. It keeps going automatically until isComplete returns true. If you're automating Salesforce business processes declaratively, this handles the metadata generation grunt work.
