B2C Code Skill
Use the b2c CLI to deploy, download, and manage code versions on Salesforce B2C Commerce instances.
Tip: If
b2cis not installed globally, usenpx @salesforce/b2c-cliinstead (e.g.,npx @salesforce/b2c-cli code deploy).
Examples
Deploy Cartridges
# deploy all cartridges from current directory
b2c code deploy
# deploy cartridges from a specific directory
b2c code deploy ./my-cartridges
# deploy to a specific server and code version
b2c code deploy --server my-sandbox.demandware.net --code-version v1
# deploy and reload (re-activate) the code version
b2c code deploy --reload
# delete existing cartridges before upload and reload
b2c code deploy --delete --reload
# deploy only specific cartridges
b2c code deploy -c app_storefront_base -c plugin_applepay
# exclude specific cartridges from deployment
b2c code deploy -x test_cartridge
Download Cartridges
# download all cartridges from the active code version
b2c code download
# download to a specific directory
b2c code download -o ./downloaded
# download from a specific server and code version
b2c code download --server my-sandbox.demandware.net --code-version v1
# download only specific cartridges
b2c code download -c app_storefront_base -c plugin_applepay
# exclude specific cartridges from download
b2c code download -x test_cartridge
# mirror: extract to local cartridge project locations
b2c code download --mirror
Watch for Changes
# watch cartridges and upload changes automatically
b2c code watch
# watch a specific directory
b2c code watch ./my-cartridges
# watch with specific server and code version
b2c code watch --server my-sandbox.demandware.net --code-version v1
# watch only specific cartridges
b2c code watch -c app_storefront_base
# watch excluding specific cartridges
b2c code watch -x test_cartridge
List Code Versions
# list code versions on the instance
b2c code list
# list with JSON output
b2c code list --json
Activate Code Version
# activate a code version
b2c code activate <version-name>
# reload (re-activate) the current code version
b2c code activate --reload
Note: Activating a code version triggers Custom API endpoint registration. If you've added or modified Custom APIs, use --reload with deploy or activate to register them. Check registration status with the b2c-cli:b2c-scapi-custom skill.
Delete Code Version
# delete a code version
b2c code delete <version-name>
More Commands
See b2c code --help for a full list of available commands and options in the code topic.
Note:
b2c code deployuploads cartridge code to an instance. To manage which cartridges are active on a site (the cartridge path), see theb2c-cli:b2c-sitesskill for theb2c sites cartridgescommands.

b2c-docs
Search and read B2C Commerce Script API documentation and XSD schemas using the b2c CLI. Use this skill whenever the user needs to look up class methods, understand API signatures, find available properties on commerce objects (baskets, orders, products, customers), or check XML schema formats for imports. Also use when writing server-side scripts and needing API reference — even if they just say "what methods does Basket have" or "what fields can I import for products".
116b2c-webdav
List, upload, download, and manage files on B2C Commerce instances via WebDAV. Use this skill whenever the user needs to upload files to IMPEX directories, download exports from an instance, list remote files, create or delete directories, or zip/unzip files on the server. Also use when managing file transfers to sandboxes or browsing instance file systems -- even if they just say 'upload a file to the instance' or 'check what's in the IMPEX folder'.
103b2c-slas-auth-patterns
Implement SLAS authentication patterns in B2C Commerce including passwordless login (email OTP, SMS OTP, passkeys), session bridging between PWA Kit/Storefront Next and SFRA, hybrid authentication (B2C 25.3+), token refresh flows, trusted system on behalf of (TSOB), and JWT validation. Use this skill whenever the user asks about shopper authentication beyond basic login, token exchange flows, passwordless or biometric auth, keeping sessions alive across storefronts, handling 409 Conflict errors on token endpoints, refreshing shopper tokens, or validating JWTs — even if they don't mention SLAS by name.
90b2c-config
Inspect and debug CLI configuration, instance connections, and authentication. Use this skill whenever the user needs to check which dw.json or credentials are active, manage multiple instance profiles, retrieve OAuth tokens for scripting, troubleshoot authentication failures or connection errors, or integrate with VS Code or other editors. Also use when environment variables override config or the wrong sandbox is being targeted -- even if they just say 'why is it connecting to the wrong instance' or 'get me an access token'.
90b2c-controllers
Create storefront controllers using SFRA or classic patterns with server.get/post, middleware chains, and res.render/json. Use this skill whenever the user needs to build a page route, handle form submissions, create AJAX endpoints, extend or override existing controllers, or add middleware to a request pipeline. Also use when debugging route registration or response rendering -- even if they just say 'new page endpoint' or 'handle a POST request'.
86b2c-scapi-schemas
Browse and retrieve SCAPI OpenAPI schema specifications. Use this skill whenever the user needs to list available SCAPI APIs, inspect endpoint paths or request/response shapes, explore data models for products or orders, check which fields an API returns, or understand SCAPI versioning. Also use when looking up API details before building an integration -- even if they just say 'what fields does the product API return' or 'show me the SCAPI endpoints'.
