omnistudio-dependencies-analyze: OmniStudio Cross-Component Analysis

Expert OmniStudio analyst specializing in namespace detection, dependency mapping, and impact analysis across the full OmniStudio component suite. Performs org-wide inventory of OmniScripts, FlexCards, Integration Procedures, and Data Mappers with automated dependency graph construction and Mermaid visualization.

---

Scope

• In scope: Namespace detection (Core / vlocity_cmt / vlocity_ins), org-wide component inventory, dependency graph construction, impact analysis, Mermaid diagram generation
• Out of scope: Authoring or modifying OmniScripts (use omnistudio-omniscript-generate), building FlexCards (use omnistudio-flexcard-generate), creating Integration Procedures (use omnistudio-integration-procedure-generate), configuring Data Mappers (use omnistudio-datamapper-generate)

---

Required Inputs

Ask for or infer before starting:

| Input | Default if not provided |

|-------|------------------------|

| Target org alias | Ask the user |

| Analysis scope | Full org (all OmniStudio component types) |

| Specific component to impact-analyze | None (produce full inventory first) |

| Output format preference | All three: Mermaid diagram + JSON summary + human-readable report |

---

Output Expectations

Each analysis run produces one or more of:

1. Namespace detection result — which namespace is active (Core / vlocity_cmt / vlocity_ins / not installed)
2. Component inventory — counts of OmniScripts, Integration Procedures, FlexCards, Data Mappers (active vs draft)
3. Dependency graph — directed edges between all OmniStudio components with edge type labels
4. Mermaid diagram — copy-pasteable Mermaid graph LR block for documentation
5. JSON summary — machine-readable namespace + components + dependencies + impact analysis
6. Human-readable report — plain-text summary with component counts, edge count, circular references, and most-depended components
7. Circular reference warnings — cycle path and risk statement for each detected cycle

---

Core Responsibilities

1. Namespace Detection: Identify whether an org uses Core (Industries), vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy), or vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health) namespace
2. Dependency Analysis: Build directed graphs of cross-component dependencies using BFS traversal with circular reference detection
3. Impact Analysis: Determine which components are affected when a given OmniScript, IP, FlexCard, or Data Mapper changes
4. Mermaid Visualization: Generate dependency diagrams in Mermaid syntax for documentation and review
5. Org-Wide Inventory: Catalog all OmniStudio components by type, status, language, and version

> CRITICAL: Orchestration Order

>

> When multiple OmniStudio skills are involved, follow this dependency chain:

>

> omnistudio-dependencies-analyze → omnistudio-datamapper-generate → omnistudio-integration-procedure-generate → omnistudio-omniscript-generate → omnistudio-flexcard-generate

>

> This skill runs first to establish namespace context and dependency maps that downstream skills consume.

Key Insights

| Insight | Detail |

|---------|--------|

| Three namespaces coexist | Core (OmniProcess), vlocity_cmt (vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c), vlocity_ins (vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c) |

| Dependencies are stored in JSON | PropertySetConfig (elements), Definition (FlexCards), InputObjectName/OutputObjectName (Data Mappers) |

| Circular references are possible | OmniScript A → IP B → OmniScript A via embedded call |

| FlexCard data sources are typed | dataSource.type === 'IntegrationProcedures' (plural) in DataSourceConfig JSON |

| Active vs Draft matters | Only active components participate in runtime dependency chains |

---

Workflow (4-Phase Pattern)

Phase 1: Namespace Detection

Purpose: Determine which OmniStudio namespace the org uses before querying any component metadata.

Detection Algorithm — Probe objects in order until a successful COUNT() returns:

1. Core (Industries namespace):

   SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess

If this succeeds, the org uses the Core namespace (API 234.0+ / Spring '22+).

1. vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy):

   SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c

1. vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health):

   SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c

If none succeed, OmniStudio is not installed in the org.

CLI Commands for namespace detection:

# Core namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_cmt namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_ins namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

Evaluate results: A successful query (exit code 0 with totalSize in JSON) confirms the namespace. A query failure (INVALID_TYPE or sObject type not found) means that namespace is not present.

See: [references/namespace-guide.md](references/namespace-guide.md) for complete object/field mapping across all three namespaces.

---

Phase 2: Component Discovery

Purpose: Build an inventory of all OmniStudio components in the org.

Using the detected namespace, query each component type:

OmniScripts (Core example — paginate with LIMIT/OFFSET for large orgs):

SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC
LIMIT 200

Integration Procedures (Core example):

SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = true
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC
LIMIT 200

FlexCards (Core example):

SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, DataSourceConfig, PropertySetConfig,
       AuthorName, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniUiCard
ORDER BY Name
LIMIT 200

> IMPORTANT: The OmniUiCard object does NOT have a Definition field. Use DataSourceConfig for data source bindings and PropertySetConfig for card layout/states configuration.

Data Mappers (Core example):

SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, Type, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniDataTransform
ORDER BY Name
LIMIT 200

Data Mapper Items (for object dependency extraction):

SELECT Id, OmniDataTransformationId, InputObjectName, OutputObjectName,
       InputObjectQuerySequence
FROM OmniDataTransformItem
WHERE OmniDataTransformationId IN ({datamapper_ids})

> IMPORTANT: The foreign key field is OmniDataTransformationId (full word "Transformation"), NOT OmniDataTransformId.

CLI Command pattern:

sf data query --query "SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive FROM OmniProcess WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false" \
  --target-org myorg --json

---

Phase 3: Dependency Analysis

Purpose: Parse component metadata to build a directed dependency graph.

Algorithm: BFS with Circular Detection

1. Initialize empty graph G and visited set V
2. For each root component C:
   a. Enqueue C into work queue Q
   b. While Q is not empty:
      i.   Dequeue component X from Q
      ii.  If X is in V, record circular reference and skip
      iii. Add X to V
      iv.  Parse X's metadata for dependency references
      v.   For each dependency D found:
           - Add edge X → D to graph G
           - If D is not in V, enqueue D into Q
3. Return graph G and any circular references detected

Element Type → Dependency Extraction

OmniScript and IP elements store references in the PropertySetConfig JSON field. Parse each element to extract dependencies:

| Element Type | JSON Path in PropertySetConfig | Dependency Target |

|-------------|-------------------------------|-------------------|

| DataRaptor Transform Action | bundle, bundleName | Data Mapper (by name) |

| DataRaptor Turbo Action | bundle, bundleName | Data Mapper (by name) |

| Remote Action | remoteClass, remoteMethod | Apex Class.Method |

| Integration Procedure Action | integrationProcedureKey | IP (Type_SubType) |

| OmniScript Action | omniScriptKey or Type/SubType | OmniScript (Type_SubType) |

| HTTP Action | httpUrl, httpMethod | External endpoint (URL) |

| DocuSign Envelope Action | docuSignTemplateId | DocuSign template |

| Apex Remote Action | remoteClass | Apex Class |

Parsing PropertySetConfig:

For each OmniProcessElement:
  1. Read PropertySetConfig (JSON string)
  2. Parse JSON
  3. Check element.Type against extraction table
  4. Extract referenced component name/key
  5. Resolve reference to an OmniProcess/OmniDataTransform record
  6. Add edge: parent component → referenced component

FlexCard Data Source Parsing

FlexCards store their data source configuration in the DataSourceConfig JSON field (NOT Definition — that field does not exist on OmniUiCard):

Parse DataSourceConfig JSON:
  1. Access dataSource object (singular, not array)
  2. For each dataSource where type === 'IntegrationProcedures' (note: PLURAL):
     - Extract dataSource.value.ipMethod (IP Type_SubType)
     - Add edge: FlexCard → Integration Procedure
  3. For each dataSource where type === 'ApexRemote':
     - Extract dataSource.value.className
     - Add edge: FlexCard → Apex Class
  4. For childCard references, parse PropertySetConfig:
     - Add edge: FlexCard → child FlexCard

> IMPORTANT: The data source type for IPs is IntegrationProcedures (plural with capital P), not IntegrationProcedure.

Data Mapper Object Dependencies

Data Mappers reference Salesforce objects via their items:

For each OmniDataTransformItem:
  1. Read InputObjectName → source sObject
  2. Read OutputObjectName → target sObject
  3. Add edge: Data Mapper → sObject (read from InputObjectName)
  4. Add edge: Data Mapper → sObject (write to OutputObjectName)

See: [references/dependency-patterns.md](references/dependency-patterns.md) for complete dependency extraction rules and examples.

Phase 4: Visualization & Reporting

Purpose: Generate human-readable output from the dependency graph.

Namespace Object/Field Mapping

For the complete object name, field name, and metadata type mapping across all three namespaces (Core, vlocity_cmt, vlocity_ins), read:

[references/namespace-guide.md](references/namespace-guide.md)

Key discriminators to keep in mind:

• Core uses OmniProcess / OmniUiCard / OmniDataTransform
• vlocity_cmt uses vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c / vlocity_cmt__VlocityUITemplate__c / vlocity_cmt__DRBundle__c
• vlocity_ins uses vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c / vlocity_ins__VlocityUITemplate__c / vlocity_ins__DRBundle__c
• The IsIntegrationProcedure boolean and DataSourceConfig (not Definition) field names are Core-only

Gotchas

| Scenario | Handling |

|----------|---------|

| Mixed namespace org (migration in progress) | Probe all three namespaces; report if multiple return results. Components may exist under both old and migrated namespaces. |

| Inactive components with dependencies | Include in dependency graph but mark as inactive. Warn if active component depends on inactive one. |

| Large orgs (1000+ components) | Use SOQL pagination (LIMIT/OFFSET or queryMore). Process in batches of 200. |

| PropertySetConfig exceeds SOQL field length | Use Tooling API or REST API to fetch full JSON body for elements with truncated config. |

| Circular dependency detected | Log the cycle path (A → B → C → A), mark all participating edges, continue traversal for remaining branches. |

| Components referencing deleted items | Record as "broken reference" in output. Flag for cleanup. |

| Version conflicts (multiple active versions) | Only the highest active version number participates in runtime. Warn if lower versions have unique dependencies. |

---

Notes

• Dependencies: Requires sf CLI with org authentication. Optional: external-diagram-mermaid-generate for styled visualization.
• Namespace must be detected first: All downstream queries depend on knowing the correct object and field API names.
• PropertySetConfig is the key: Nearly all dependency information lives in this JSON field on OmniProcessElement records.
• DataSourceConfig for FlexCards: Data sources are in DataSourceConfig, NOT a Definition field (which does not exist on OmniUiCard). Card layout/states are in PropertySetConfig.
• Data Mapper items contain object references: InputObjectName and OutputObjectName on OmniDataTransformItem records reveal which sObjects a Data Mapper reads from and writes to. The foreign key to the parent is OmniDataTransformationId (full "Transformation").
• IsIntegrationProcedure is the discriminator: OmniProcess uses a boolean IsIntegrationProcedure field, not a TypeCategory field (which does not exist). The OmniProcessType picklist is computed from this boolean and is useful for filtering reads but cannot be set directly on create.
• sf data create record limitations: The --values flag cannot handle JSON strings in textarea fields (e.g., PropertySetConfig). Use sf api request rest --method POST --body @file.json instead for records with JSON configuration.
• Related skills: omnistudio-datamapper-generate, omnistudio-integration-procedure-generate, omnistudio-omniscript-generate, omnistudio-flexcard-generate — install these to enable the full OmniStudio authoring suite
