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 does this agent skill do?

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.
