Org Expiration Check Determine when a Salesforce org expires, how many days remain, and whether it has already expired — for one org, the default org, or every authenticated org. Results are prioritized (already-expired and soonest-expiring first) with a one-line summary. The skill can also emit machine-readable output for alerting, print backup commands for an at-risk org, and explain how to renew an expiring trial or Developer Edition org. When to use Trigger on requests like: - "When does my trial org expire?" / "Is it still active or has it expired?" - "How many days are left on my trial?…
