Package and ship Salesforce Data 360 (Data Cloud) Data Kits as managed 2GP packages: Standard vs DevOps kit types, retrieve workflow, SSOT dependency, publishing sequence, KQ cleanup, deploy after install, undeploy/uninstall (including Currency Connection / StaticCurrencyRates blockers), and packaging oddities. Use when packaging data kits, DataPackageKitDefinition, DMOs, data streams, or Data Cloud metadata for AppExchange or managed package distribution.From its SKILL.md

packaging-datacloud

Workflow for Standard data kits in managed 2GP packages (Data Cloud / Data 360). DevOps kits are for sandbox→prod mergeback — not for packaging. See references/standard-vs-devops-data-kits.md.

Quick workflow

Create Standard kit in source org — add components, set Publishing Sequence (Edit Sequence → Save)
Dedicated package directory in sfdx-project.json — Data Cloud metadata only (Winter '25+)
Download manifest → save as package.xml at package root
Retrieve — references/retrieve-workflow.md
Post-retrieve cleanup — delete standalone KQ_*.field-meta.xml under objects/; keep embedded keyQualifierName in DLOs
Verify DataPackageKitDefinition.deploymentOrder in Git
SSOT dependency — current version from Help, not outdated Partner Community IDs — references/ssot-package-dependency.md
Test deploy on scratch subscriber org
sf package version create -w 90 — references/2gp-workflow.md
Subscriber: install package → deploy kit components — post-install-deploy-runbook.md (workflow) + deploy-components-flow.md (payloads). Managed 2GP: namespace on kit lookup fields in deploy payloads only.

Do not use UI Publish → Package Manager for 2GP — that is the 1GP path. Use retrieve + CLI version create.

When to use which reference

Goal	Document
Retrieve kit from org into Git	retrieve-workflow.md
Standard vs DevOps kit types	standard-vs-devops-data-kits.md
Help article index	help-articles-index.md
Managed 2GP build & promote	2gp-workflow.md
SSOT package dependency	ssot-package-dependency.md
Metadata types in kit	metadata-cheatsheet.md
Kit definition flags & sequence	kit-definition-metadata.md
KQ cleanup, sequence, SSOT traps	packaging-oddities.md
Post-install deploy (payloads)	deploy-components-flow.md
Post-install runbook (generic)	post-install-deploy-runbook.md — includes lake verification, transform run API, SKIPPED_NO_CHANGES
Undeploy / uninstall (generic)	undeploy-uninstall-runbook.md — reverse sequence; Currency Connection before `StaticCurrencyRatesTransform_*`
Transform → DMO → search data cascade	catalog-search-data-cascade.md — generic; deploy vs run; manual full-run + search redeploy
DevOps CLI sandbox→prod (not 2GP)	devops-cli-workflow.md
Governance mergeback (not CLI)	governance-mergeback-devops.md
Failures	troubleshooting.md

Critical rules

Standard kit for packaging; DevOps for in-house sandbox→prod only
Winter '25+: no Apex/LWC/Flow/agents in the Data Kit package directory
Publishing sequence required before packaging; verify deploymentOrder after retrieve
dataKitType: NONE + isDeployed: false in retrieved metadata is normal — kit-definition-metadata.md
KQ cleanup: delete standalone objects/*/fields/KQ_* only; keep embedded keyQualifierName in dataSourceObject
SSOT: use Help article version list for 04t ID
Package version create: allow 90+ minutes wait time
Undeploy before uninstall when components were activated; reverse deploymentOrder, trust dependency errors (transforms before DLOs)
Currency: Undeploy blocked by StaticCurrencyRatesTransform_* → disable Currency Connection first (KB 002774314)
Ghost streams: Connect says stream gone but DLO/uninstall still blocked → delete Tooling DataStreamDefinition — undeploy-uninstall-runbook.md
Leftover DLOs after uninstall are expected (locked kit orphans + platform StaticCurrencyRates_*) — package gone ≠ empty Data Lake Objects list — undeploy-uninstall-runbook.md
