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.

What this skill does
Steps 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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 SFTARGETORG is set — environment variables override config values.
