dx-org-switch

Switches the active Salesforce org (default target-org) using the Salesforce CLI. Use whenever someone wants to change which org CLI commands run against — whether they say "switch org", "change default org", "set my org to", "use alias", "point to", or describe wanting to work against a specific org, scratch org, sandbox, or production.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by forcedotcom on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Dx Org Switch AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/main/plugins/builder/dx-org-lifecycle/skills/dx-org-switch
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills.git /tmp/sf-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/sf-skills/plugins/builder/dx-org-lifecycle/skills/dx-org-switch .claude/skills/dx-org-switch

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Dx Org Switch in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Dx Org Switch on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Dx Org Switch is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Steps

Identify the org: the user provides a username or alias (orgIdentifier). If not provided, run sf org list to show authenticated orgs and ask the user which one to use.
Set the default org:
- Local (default): sf config set target-org <orgIdentifier>
  - Applies only within the current project directory. Use this for normal project work.
- Global (only if user explicitly requests): sf config set target-org <orgIdentifier> --global
  - Applies system-wide across all directories. Use when working outside a project or when the user asks for global scope.
- If this fails, report the error and suggest running sf org login web if the org may not be authorized.
Verify:
- sf config get target-org --json
- Note: the JSON output does not include a scope/location field — it cannot confirm whether the value is local or global. Confirm the value only, e.g.: target-org is now set to: <value>
- If it fails, report the error and advise running sf config get target-org.

Notes

Unified CLI uses keys like target-org and target-dev-hub. Legacy sfdx keys (defaultusername, defaultdevhubusername) are deprecated in this context.
The sf CLI does not have --local or --scope flags for config set. Local scope is the default behavior.
If the org does not change after setting the config, check whether SF_TARGET_ORG is set — environment variables override config values.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Dx Org Switch AI skill do?

Why use Dx Org Switch on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Dx Org Switch is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Dx Org Switch in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/main/plugins/builder/dx-org-lifecycle/skills/dx-org-switch. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Dx Org Switch?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Dx Org Switch?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Dx Org Switch with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Dx Org Switch AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by forcedotcom under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
