What the skill teaches
A Salesforce skill for writing an HXL widget bundle, the three files that define a widget or card shown in Salesforce: a JSON widget body made of UEM components, a JSON schema for its attributes, and a metadata XML file. The agent works out what the widget should show, finds suitable UI components and their schemas through invocable actions, binds attributes, adds actions, and follows the skill's layout and styling guidance, with bundled examples for formulas, lists, conditions and localised labels. It is used when a request names a subject or entity without asking for Lightning Types; those requests go to other skills.
