- Core Responsibilities
- Product Creation
-
- Create EPC Product2 records with consistent naming, lifecycle dates, status, and classification fields.
- Attribute Modeling
-
- Define category-based attributes, defaults, valid value sets, display sequences, and required flags.
- Offer Bundle Modeling
-
- Compose offers with child products using
- %vlocity_namespace%__ProductChildItem__c
- records and clear quantity rules.
- Companion Metadata Generation
-
- Generate and align all related bundle files (pricing, object field attributes, orchestration/decomposition, overrides, parent keys) from the same offer baseline.
- DataPack Consistency
-
- Keep record source keys, global keys, lookup objects, and namespace fields internally consistent for deployment.
- Invocation Rules (Mandatory)
- Route to this skill whenever the prompt intent matches either of these:
- Create a product bundle
- :
- User asks to create/build/generate/model an EPC offer bundle.
- User asks for Product2 offer setup with Product Child Items.
- User asks to generate bundle DataPack JSON artifacts from templates/examples.
- Score or review an existing product bundle
- :
- User asks to score/assess/validate/audit an existing EPC bundle.
- User asks to apply the 120-point rubric to existing Product2/PCI/attribute payloads.
- User asks for risk findings, quality gaps, or fix recommendations on bundle metadata.
- Instruction priority
-
- treat these two intents as direct triggers for
- sf-industry-cme-epc-model
- , even if the prompt is brief and does not mention EPC by name.
- Workflow (Create/Review)
- Phase 1: Identify Catalog Intent
- Ask for:
- Product type:
- spec product
- or
- offer bundle
- Domain taxonomy: Family, Type/SubType, category path, and channel
- Attribute requirements: required/optional, picklist values, default values
- Bundle composition: child products, quantity constraints, optional vs required
- Target org namespace model:
- %vlocity_namespace%
- ,
- vlocity_cmt
- , or Core
- Phase 1A: Clarifying Questions for Complete Bundle (Mandatory)
- Before generating a new offer bundle payload, ask clarifying questions until all required inputs are known.
- Required clarification checklist:
- Offer identity
- What is the offer name and
- ProductCode
- ?
- Is this net-new or an update to an existing Product2 offer?
- Catalog classification
- What are Family, Type/SubType, and channel/sales context values?
- Should
- SpecificationType=Offer
- and
- SpecificationSubType=Bundle
- be set now?
- Lifecycle and availability
- What are
- EffectiveDate
- and
- SellingStartDate
- ?
- Should
- IsActive
- and
- %vlocity_namespace%__IsOrderable__c
- be true at creation time?
- Child product composition
- Which child products are included (name/code for each)?
- For each child, what are required/optional semantics and sequence order?
- Quantity behavior per child
- What are
- MinQuantity
- ,
- MaxQuantity
- , and default
- Quantity
- ?
- Should
- %vlocity_namespace%__MinMaxDefaultQty__c
- be enforced for each line?
- Attribute model
- Which attributes are required vs optional?
- What are valid values, defaults, display types, and display sequences?
- Pricing and companion artifacts
- Should pricebook and price list entries be generated now?
- Should orchestration/decomposition/override/parent-key files be included in the same request?
- Namespace and keying
- Which namespace convention should be used (
- %vlocity_namespace%
- ,
- vlocity_cmt
- , or Core)?
- Are there existing global keys/source keys to preserve?
- If any required checklist item is unanswered, do not generate final bundle files yet; ask focused follow-up questions first.
- Phase 2: Build Product2 Backbone
- For every new EPC record, define:
- Name
- ProductCode
- (unique, stable, environment-agnostic)
- %vlocity_namespace%__GlobalKey__c
- (stable UUID-style key)
- %vlocity_namespace%__SpecificationType__c
- and
- %vlocity_namespace%__SpecificationSubType__c
- %vlocity_namespace%__Status__c
- and date fields (
- EffectiveDate
- ,
- SellingStartDate
- )
- IsActive
- and
- %vlocity_namespace%__IsOrderable__c
- Use
- assets/product2-offer-template.json
- as baseline structure.
- Phase 3: Add Attributes
- When attributes are required:
- Populate
- %vlocity_namespace%__AttributeMetadata__c
- category and
- productAttributes
- records.
- Populate
- %vlocity_namespace%__AttributeDefaultValues__c
- with attribute code to default value mapping.
- Create
- %vlocity_namespace%__AttributeAssignment__c
- records with:
- category linkage
- attribute linkage
- UI display type (dropdown, etc.)
- valid values and default marker
- Use
- assets/attribute-assignment-template.json
- as the assignment baseline.
- Phase 4: Build Offer Bundles
- For offers:
- Keep parent
- Product2
- record as offer (
- SpecificationType=Offer
- ,
- SpecificationSubType=Bundle
- ).
- Create root
- %vlocity_namespace%__ProductChildItem__c
- row (
- IsRootProductChildItem=true
- ).
- Add child rows per component with:
- parent and child references
- sequence and line number
- min/max/default quantity behavior (
- MinMaxDefaultQty
- ,
- MinQuantity
- ,
- MaxQuantity
- ,
- Quantity
- )
- Use override rows only when behavior differs from inherited/default behavior.
- Use
- assets/product-child-item-template.json
- for child relationship structure.
- For complete bundle payloads, also align and include:
- assets/pricebook-entries-template.json
- assets/price-list-entries-template.json
- assets/object-field-attributes-template.json
- assets/orchestration-scenarios-template.json
- assets/decomposition-relationships-template.json
- assets/compiled-attribute-overrides-template.json
- assets/override-definitions-template.json
- assets/parent-keys-template.json
- Phase 4B: Generate Companion Metadata Files
- When the user asks to generate a bundle, generate/update all companion files together as one coherent set:
- pricebook-entries-template.json
- and
- price-list-entries-template.json
- Keep Product2 GlobalKey/ProductCode references aligned with the parent offer.
- object-field-attributes-template.json
- Keep object class references and field mappings aligned with the same offer model.
- orchestration-scenarios-template.json
- and
- decomposition-relationships-template.json
- Keep decomposition and orchestration artifacts consistent with bundle child items.
- compiled-attribute-overrides-template.json
- and
- override-definitions-template.json
- Keep override keys and references aligned with attribute metadata and assignments.
- parent-keys-template.json
- Keep parent linkage values synchronized with generated artifact keys.
- Mandatory rule
- do not generate only a partial subset when a full bundle payload is requested unless the user explicitly asks for a limited file scope.
Phase 5: Validate and Handoff
Provide a completion block:

Sample Skill Invocation Commands Use these examples to invoke this skill from your agent/CLI workflow:
Create a new EPC offer bundle with full companion metadata
cursor-agent "Create a Product2 offer bundle named Business Internet Plus with ProductCode BIZ-INT-PLUS-01, 3 child products, and generate all companion DataPack JSON files from the assets templates."
Add configurable attributes to an existing EPC Product2 record
cursor-agent "Update Product2 Business Internet Essential with attribute metadata/defaults/assignments for Bandwidth, ContractTerm, and StaticIPCount, including valid values and defaults."
Build ProductChildItem relationships for an offer
cursor-agent "Create root and child %vlocity_namespace%__ProductChildItem__c records for offer Business Internet Essential VPL with min/max/default quantity rules."
Review an existing DataPack for EPC modeling quality
cursor-agent "Review the Product2 bundle JSON files under skills/sf-industry-cme-epc-model/examples/business-internet-plus-bundle/, score against the 120-point rubric, and return risks plus required fixes."
Convert a spec product into a bundle-ready offer payload
cursor-agent "Transform Product2 Dedicated Fiber 1G from spec product to offer bundle (SpecificationType=Offer, SpecificationSubType=Bundle) and generate aligned PCI + pricing artifacts." If your environment uses a different command wrapper, keep the quoted instruction text and replace cursor-agent with your local agent command.
