Use when implementing Bulk API 2.0 REST calls, choosing between Bulk API 2.0 and legacy Bulk API v1, handling CSV format requirements for bulk ingest, paginating query job results with locators, or constructing multipart job requests. Triggers: bulk api 2.0 endpoint, ingest job REST call, query job locator, bulk CSV format, hard delete bulk, v1 vs v2 bulk api. NOT for Data Loader UI steps (use data-import-and-management), NOT for strategic load-size decisions or concurrency mode selection (use bulk-api-and-large-data-loads).

From the source SKILL.md

This skill activates when a practitioner needs to implement the actual REST API calls for Bulk API 2.0 ingest or query jobs, understand CSV format requirements, paginate through large query results, or choose between Bulk API 2.0 and legacy Bulk API v1. It covers the endpoint-level mechanics of bulk operations. It does not cover Data Loader UI steps or the strategic decision of when to use Bulk API vs. REST Composite — see related skills for those.
