experience-ui-bundle-site-generate

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

MUST activate when the project contains a uiBundles/*/src/ directory and the task involves creating or configuring site infrastructure. Use this skill when creating or configuring a Salesforce Digital Experience Site for hosting a UI bundle. Activate when files matching digitalExperiences/, networks/, customSite/, or DigitalExperienceBundle exist and need modification, or when the user wants to publish, host, or configure guest access for their app.

Digital Experience Site for React UI Bundles

Create and configure Digital Experience Sites that host React UI bundles on Salesforce. This skill generates the minimum necessary site infrastructure — Network, CustomSite, DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, and the

sfdc_cms__site

content type — so a React app can be served from Salesforce.

React sites differ from standard LWR sites: they don't need routes, views, theme layouts, or branding sets. The site acts as a thin container (

appContainer: true

) that delegates rendering to the React UI bundle referenced by

appSpace

.

Required Properties

Resolve all five properties before generating any metadata. Each has a fallback chain — work through each option in order until a value is found.

Property	Format	How to Resolve
siteName	`UpperCamelCase` (e.g., `MyCommunity` )	Ask user or derive from context
siteUrlPathPrefix	`All lowercase` (e.g., `mycommunity` )	User-provided, or convert siteName to all lowercase with alphanumeric characters only
appNamespace	String	`namespace` in `sfdx-project.json` → `sf data query -q "SELECT NamespacePrefix FROM Organization" --target-org ${usernameOrAlias}` → default `c`
appDevName	String	`UIBundle` metadata in the project → `sf data query -q "SELECT DeveloperName FROM UIBundle" --target-org ${usernameOrAlias}` → default to siteName
enableGuestAccess	Boolean	Ask user whether unauthenticated guest users can access site APIs → default `false`

The

appNamespace

and

appDevName

properties connect the site to the correct React application. Getting these wrong means the site deploys but shows a blank page, so take care to resolve them from real project data.

Generation Workflow

Step 1: Resolve All Required Properties

Determine values for all five properties before constructing anything. Use the resolution strategies in the table above, falling through each option until a value is found.

Step 2: Create the Project Structure

Use available Salesforce metadata schema and field context for

Network

,

CustomSite

,

DigitalExperienceConfig

, and

DigitalExperienceBundle

to ensure each file uses valid structure.

Create any files and directories that don't already exist, using these paths:

Metadata Type	Path
Network	`networks/{siteName}.network-meta.xml`
CustomSite	`sites/{siteName}.site-meta.xml`
DigitalExperienceConfig	`digitalExperienceConfigs/{siteName}1.digitalExperienceConfig-meta.xml`
DigitalExperienceBundle	`digitalExperiences/site/{siteName}1/{siteName}1.digitalExperience-meta.xml`
DigitalExperience (sfdc_cms__site)	`digitalExperiences/site/{siteName}1/sfdc_cms__site/{siteName}1/*`

The DigitalExperience directory contains only

_meta.json

and

content.json

. Do not create any directories other than

sfdc_cms__site

inside the bundle.

Step 3: Populate All Metadata Fields

Use the default templates in the docs below. Values in

{braces}

are resolved property references — substitute them with the actual values from Step 1.

Metadata Type	Template Reference
Network	configure-metadata-network.md
CustomSite	configure-metadata-custom-site.md
DigitalExperienceConfig	configure-metadata-digital-experience-config.md
DigitalExperienceBundle	configure-metadata-digital-experience-bundle.md
DigitalExperience (sfdc_cms__site)	configure-metadata-digital-experience.md

For URL updates, see update-site-urls.md.

Execution Note for Step 3: Load and use the docs

Agents MUST read the full contents of each docs/*.md file referenced in Step 3 before attempting to populate metadata fields.
Use your platform's file-read tool (for example,
```
read_file
```
) to load these files in full, then perform placeholder substitution for values in
```
{braces}
```
using the resolved properties from Step 1.

Files to load:

```
docs/configure-metadata-network.md
```
```
docs/configure-metadata-custom-site.md
```

docs/configure-metadata-digital-experience-config.md

docs/configure-metadata-digital-experience-bundle.md

docs/configure-metadata-digital-experience.md

Read entire file contents, replace placeholders (e.g.
```
{siteName}
```
) with the resolved values, then use the expanded templates to populate the metadata XML/JSON content.

Step 4: Do Not Modify Non-Templated Properties

Do not modify any default property values for

Network

,

CustomSite

,

DigitalExperience

,

DigitalExperienceConfig

, or

DigitalExperienceBundle

metadata that are not expressed as variables wrapped in

{braces}

.

Verification Checklist

Before deploying, confirm:

All five required properties are resolved
All metadata directories and files exist per the project structure
All metadata fields match the Step 3 templates with
```
{braces}
```
substituted only; no other default property values were added or changed
```
appSpace
```
in
```
content.json
```
matches an existing
```
UIBundle
```
metadata record
Deployment validates successfully:

bash

sf project deploy validate --metadata Network CustomSite DigitalExperienceConfig DigitalExperienceBundle DigitalExperience --target-org ${usernameOrAlias}

Common Workflows

Updating Experience Site URLs

Use when user wants to update or change site URLs (urlPathPrefix).

Steps:

Read update-site-urls.md to understand the three-component architecture and URL update workflow
Follow the step-by-step workflow in the doc to update URLs consistently across all three components (DigitalExperienceConfig, Network, CustomSite)
