# Incident Management Setup Orchestrator

Guide the user through setting up Incident Management features in Salesforce Service Cloud ITSM by
presenting the available capabilities, tracking progress, and **delegating** each feature to the Setup
Operation Recipes (SORs) whose own steps this skill runs.

## Goal

Act as the coordinator for Incident Management feature configuration. Present a menu of configurable
features, handle each selection, and after each feature completes, return to the menu with updated progress
until the user is done.

## How each feature is handled

| # | Feature | Handled by | Reference |
|---|---------|-----------|-----------|
| P | Incident Preferences | **Delegate** → `IncidentMgmt` (its preference steps) | `references/incident-preferences.md` |
| 1 | Incident Persona PSG | **Delegate** → `service-itsm-incident-persona-assign` | `references/incident-persona-psg.md` |
| 2 | Priority Matrix | **Delegate** → `IncidentPriorityMatrix` | `references/priority-matrix.md` |
| 3 | SLA & Milestones | **Delegate** → `SLASettings`, then `sla-management-setup` (custom policy) | `references/sla-milestones.md` |
| 4 | Incident Dashboards | **Delegate** → `itsm-incident-dashboard-enablement` (Manager) and `itsm-incident-fulfiller-dashboard-enablement` (Fulfiller) | `references/incident-dashboards.md` |
| 5 | Email-to-Incident | **Delegate** → `EmailToIncident` | `references/email-to-incident.md` |
| 6 | Major Incident Management | **Delegate** → `MIM` | `references/major-incident-management.md` |
| 7 | Broadcast Communications | **Delegate** → `service-itsm-broadcast-communications-setup` | `references/broadcast-communications.md` |
| 8 | Manage Incidents with AI | **Delegate** → `service-itsm-manage-incidents-with-ai-configure` | `references/manage-incidents-with-ai.md` |
| 9 | Service Management Privilege | **Delegate** → `ServiceMgmtPrivilegeSetup` | `references/service-mgmt-privilege.md` |
| 10 | Audit Tracking | **Delegate** → `FieldHistoryTracking` | `references/audit-tracking.md` |

Every feature runs on SORs; this skill hands no feature off to another skill. A SOR is a recipe, not an
agent: this skill runs the SOR's steps itself under the **SOR hand-off protocol** below and owns every
user-facing gate — the questions, the confirmation before each write, and the read-back. The SOR's own steps
and guidance decide *how*. **Read a feature's reference file before running that feature**: it adds only
what is specific to this skill. Every operation is fetched at runtime through the `headless-360` MCP server:
`discover` by intent, `describe` for the current route/schema/labels, then `dispatch_readonly` (reads) /
`dispatch` (writes).
**Hardcode nothing — `describe` wins.** If a described path repeats the `/services/data/v{version}` prefix,
send the prefix once.

### SOR hand-off protocol (every feature)

1. **Find it.** `discover` the SOR by intent and `describe` the id `discover` returns. Judge availability by
   what the calls return, not by a step's `status` label — a step labelled `proposed` may still be served.
   A `discover` miss or a `401`/`403`/`404` means the surface isn't available to this user or org: surface
   it and stop.
2. **This skill owns both prerequisite gates.** Behavior step 2 already confirmed IT Service Enablement and
   the master switch on. If a SOR's own check reads either as anything but `ENABLED`, go back to step 2 —
   never run a SOR's own enable or delegate step for them, and never follow a hand-off a SOR names for
   either gate or for another feature on this menu.
3. **Read before write.** Read the current state through the SOR's read steps. If it already matches what
   the user wants, that read is the verification: mark the feature `Done` with no write.
4. **Confirm the exact change.** State the current value and the exact change, and get an explicit yes
   (`AskUserQuestion`) before any write. The user's initial request is not that confirmation; one yes can
   cover several writes if you listed them all.
5. **Write, then read back.** Write only through the SOR's write steps, then read back through its verify
   steps. Mark the feature `Done` only when the read-back shows the chosen state — a write response alone
   is not proof.

## Behavior

### 0. Reuse what the session already knows

Before running any preflight below, check whether the same fact was already established earlier in this
conversation. Cache-eligible: the **IT Service Enablement and master switch states** (reuse each **only
when confirmed *enabled***; a cached "off" MUST NOT let step 2 skip), **already-completed features** (stay "Done"; don't re-run unless
asked to reconfigure), and the **target org**. **When in doubt, re-check.** Skip only when the earlier fact
is unambiguously in context AND you have not switched orgs — a wrong skip on a live write is worse than a
duplicated read.

### 1. Extract context from conversation

Scan chat history for which features are already done, any stated preferences/constraints, the target org,
and business context that informs which features are relevant.

### 2. Verify IT Service Enablement, then ensure the Incident Management master switch is on

Every feature below depends on IT Service Enablement (`service-cloud-itsm-setup`) and uses the recommended
ITSM Incident Management check (`service-cloud-itsm-incident`). Before showing the menu—or before a direct
single-feature handoff—`discover` the `IncidentMgmt` SOR by intent and `describe` its steps, then check the
two gates in this order, using that SOR for every read, enable, and verify
(`read-/enable-/verify-itsm-setup-feature-status`, `read-/enable-/verify-itsm-incident-feature-status`).
Follow its current invocation and prefix each stored path as its version note says: use the org's full API
version with its minor, such as `v68.0`, never a bare major. If a feature read fails, stop and do not retry
other version strings. Never read or toggle `service-cloud-incident-management`, and do
not use the Service-Foundation `IncidentManagement` look-alike or its broadcast toggles.

Decide on `status` first: `ENABLED` is an idempotent no-op even if `enableBlockedReasons` is non-empty;
`NOT_AVAILABLE` means halt (do not attempt enable). Show any `enableBlockedReasons` as plain text (their
messages are HTML-escaped markup) and halt if present. Never infer success from a write response.

1. **IT Service Enablement** — only exact `ENABLED` continues. Exact `NOT_ENABLED` with no blocked reasons:
   ask **“IT Service Enablement is off — enable it now?”** with `AskUserQuestion` (single-select, exactly
   two options: Yes and No) — every time, never as plain text, and do not preview the menu before it is
   answered. Yes → delegate to the `IncidentMgmt` SOR (read → enable → verify), stating the user already
   confirmed this exact change so it does not ask again; continue only when verify reads exact `ENABLED`.
   Delegating means the MCP tools, not a Claude Code skill: `describe` the `IncidentMgmt` SOR, read
   its steps by `id`, and `dispatch` each step exactly as the SOR defines it. Never call `Skill` for
   it and never invent an enable URL.
   No → stop and point to Setup. Missing entry, blocked reasons, error, or any other status → stop and explain
   plainly; no question.
2. **Incident Management** — same pattern, second: exact `NOT_ENABLED` with no blocked reasons →
   `AskUserQuestion` **“Incident Management is off — enable it now?”** (Yes/No); Yes → delegate to the
   `IncidentMgmt` SOR with the same already-confirmed statement and continue only on verify exact
   `ENABLED`; No → stop and point to Setup. `NOT_AVAILABLE`, blocked reasons, error, or anything else → stop
   and explain; no question.

Never offer to bypass either gate.

**Skip only when both gates were already confirmed *enabled* in this session** (see step 0). A cached
"off" or unknown state MUST fall through to the checks above.

### 3. Present the feature menu as a multi-select

Emit the **Feature menu** template from `examples/output-templates.md` AND, in the same response, a single
`AskUserQuestion` (`multiSelect: true`) whose options mirror the rendered rows — the table is the visual
view; the tool call collects the selection. Both MUST appear together. Selecting one feature is valid;
several enqueue for sequential handling in step 4.

### 4. Handle each selected feature in order

Handle selected features sequentially in dependency order (or the order given). For each, **read its
reference file**, then run its SORs under the hand-off protocol. This skill does the writing, so always
**read live state before writing, confirm before every write, and verify every write by read-back**. Honor
the per-feature invariants below.

### 5. After each feature completes

Mark it "Done", suggest the next logical step, and re-present the menu with updated status using the
**Post-feature progress** template in `examples/output-templates.md`.

### 6. Completion summary

When the user says they're done (or all features are configured), present the **Completion summary**
template in `examples/output-templates.md`.

## Critical invariants (load-bearing — the SORs carry the full detail)

The **Everywhere** rules apply to every feature; the rest apply to the named feature. They are irreversible
or silently wrong if missed.

- **Resolve the right node (Preferences).** Target the ITSM Incident Management org-preferences node
  (the one with the six per-feature toggles), **not** the Service-Foundation look-alike whose toggles
  are broadcast channels plus its own master switch.
- **Two preferences are one-way / enable-only (Preferences).** *Restrict Assigned Group to Regular Groups*
  and *Enable Rich Text for Incident Descriptions* cannot be turned off once on. Never offer to disable
  them; require an explicit "I understand this can't be undone" confirmation before enabling; never enable
  to test. *Restrict Assigned Group…* also **freezes once the org has any Incident record** — an enable can
  fail outright; do not retry.
- **PSL before PSG (Persona).** Assign the union of a persona PSG's member permission-set **licenses first,
  then the PSG** (keyed on `PermissionSetGroupId`, never a permission-set Id) — otherwise the persona is
  silently half-provisioned. Query the persona PSGs by `DeveloperName` with **no** `NamespacePrefix` filter.
- **The Priority Matrix save is a full replacement (Priority Matrix).** Any cell left out of the save is
  deleted — always send the complete matrix, using only active Priority values.
- **SLA Versioning is permanent; the predefined seed is not idempotent (SLA & Milestones).** Turn on SLA
  Versioning only after the explicit **Enable** answer, and never offer to turn it off. Detect the
  predefined *Standard Support for Incidents* policy before seeding and never re-seed it. Never deactivate,
  reorder, or broaden another SLA policy; halt on the first failed milestone create; never ask for an
  Account.
- **One-way features (Email-to-Incident, Broadcast Communications).** Turning on Email-to-Incident or the
  Broadcast Communications feature can't be undone — say so before asking, and never offer or attempt to
  turn either off.
- **License, not assignment (Major Incident Management).** MIM is the approval group + two preferences on
  top of **base** Incident Management, and MIM itself must already be active — Salesforce provisions it, so
  never try to turn it on. The Major Incident Manager grant is a **LICENSE**
  (`PermissionSetLicenseAssign`), never a `PermissionSetAssignment`. **License before group membership;
  the approval group is a public Group, never a User, and its users must validate true before you designate
  it; to reassign, validate the new group, then remove, then create.** Only two preference names are
  valid: `AutoCreationOfProblem`, `AutoClosureChildIncidents`.
- **Destructive delete + unverifiable assignments (Service Management Privilege).** Deleting a Service
  Management Privilege is irreversible — confirm explicitly, never delete to test. Bulk employee↔privilege
  assignments have **no read-back** — report them as applied, not verified. Turn on the reversible *Enable
  Privilege Assignment* toggle before any escalation-level or privilege step, as the SOR orders it; if the
  user declines, stop. No public API substitute exists — a `404` / discover-miss means the surface isn't
  served on this org; surface it and stop.
- **Everywhere:** read before write; treat "already in that state" / a duplicate as idempotent success;
  verify by read-back (a write response alone is not proof); each license consumes a seat; on `401`/`403`/
  `404` surface the raw error and stop; keep record Ids, HTTP codes, route paths, and tooling terms
  (`dispatch`, `headless-360`, SOR/step ids) out of user-facing output.

## Feature Dependencies & Recommended Order

```text
P.  Incident Preferences         (the six per-feature setup toggles)
Set Up the Basics
1.  Incident Persona PSG         (Fulfiller / Manager persona for a user)
2.  Priority Matrix              (Impact × Urgency → Incident.Priority)
3.  SLA & Milestones             (time-based commitments on incidents)
Unlock Advanced Functionality
4.  Incident Dashboards          (Manager / Fulfiller dashboards + Home pages)
5.  Email-to-Incident            (incoming email → Incidents, routing addresses)
6.  Major Incident Management    (approval group + two MIM preferences)
7.  Broadcast Communications     (turn on, then sender access, channels, objects)
8.  Manage Incidents with AI     (AI triage, Einstein assignment, chat/voice drafts)
9.  Service Management Privilege (escalation level + privilege assignments)
10. Audit Tracking               (field history on chosen Incident fields)
```

Features 1–8 follow Salesforce Go's IT Service Incident Management page; Service Management Privilege and
Audit Tracking aren't on that page.

A priority-tiered SLA needs the Priority Matrix on: with it off, every Incident gets the default priority,
so only that tier's milestones fire.

## Rules

- ALWAYS show "(via service-itsm-agentic-setup-incident-management)" in the setup header
- ALWAYS check the IT Service Enablement and master-switch prerequisites (Behavior step 2) through
  the `IncidentMgmt` SOR before showing the menu or handing off a named feature, unless both were
  confirmed enabled earlier in this conversation
- ALWAYS ask each off gate with `AskUserQuestion` (single-select Yes/No), every time, never as plain text,
  before delegating the enable; No stops and points to Setup
- ALWAYS require exact `ENABLED` verification for `service-cloud-itsm-setup` before the Incident switch;
  anything else stops. Never read or toggle `service-cloud-incident-management`
- ALWAYS present the feature menu before configuring any selected feature (the master-switch prerequisite
  is the only permitted action before the menu) — do not assume which feature the user wants, **except**
  when the user named a specific feature, in which case go straight to it (single-select is fine)
- ALWAYS pair the rendered feature-menu table with an `AskUserQuestion` (`multiSelect: true`) in the same
  response — the table is the visual view; the tool call is the selection channel
- ALWAYS read a feature's reference file before executing it, follow its rules, and follow the SOR at
  runtime — never hardcode a route, body, or preference name
- ALWAYS run a feature's SORs under the hand-off protocol; NEVER hand a feature off to another skill, and
  never follow a SOR's hand-off for either prerequisite gate or for another feature on this menu
- NEVER set up a feature the user did not select; for "set up everything", walk each feature sequentially
  in recommended order, confirming between each step
- Track progress across the conversation — do not re-present completed features as "Not done"
- Do not show Salesforce record IDs in any output — human-readable names only

---

## Verification checklist

Before emitting any menu or summary, confirm each; adjust the output before sending if any is unchecked.

- [ ] The header line ends with `(via service-itsm-agentic-setup-incident-management)`
- [ ] The `IncidentMgmt` SOR confirmed both prerequisite gates before the menu or direct feature
      handoff, unless both were already confirmed enabled earlier in this conversation; each off gate was
      asked with `AskUserQuestion` (Yes/No), not plain text, before the enable was delegated
- [ ] The exact `service-cloud-itsm-setup` entry verified exact `ENABLED` before the Incident-switch
      sequence; any other result stopped
- [ ] The feature menu emitted BOTH the ASCII table AND an `AskUserQuestion` (`multiSelect: true`) in the
      same response (single-select only if the user already named a specific feature)
- [ ] Each feature row's `Status` reflects the actual tracked state (`Not done`, `In progress`, `Done`)
- [ ] A feature is being handled only because the user explicitly selected it (or is being walked through
      sequentially with confirmation under an "all" / "everything" request)
- [ ] For each feature: its reference file was read and its checks passed; its SORs ran under the
      hand-off protocol and no other skill was used; live state was read before any write; each
      write was confirmed and verified by read-back, and a no-write `Done` came from a live read; one-way /
      license-ordering invariants were honored
- [ ] No Salesforce record IDs appear in the output — human-readable names only
