Activate when an engineer needs to know "what's different between Org A and Org B at the metadata level" — typically before a deploy, after a hotfix, or when investigating mysterious behavior that diverges between environments. The skill produces a categorized diff (source-only / target-only / changed), a deployable manifest, and a drift inventory.
Metadata Diff Between Sandboxes is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/metadata-diff-between-sandboxes/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when comparing metadata between two Salesforce orgs (UAT vs Prod, dev sandbox vs full copy, fork sandbox vs source) to surface drift, identify items needing deployment, or build a destructive-changes manifest. Triggers: 'compare two sandboxes', 'org diff tool', 'metadata drift between UAT and prod', 'find missing metadata in target org'.
The Metadata Diff Between Sandboxes Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
