description

Generate SFCC custom object type impex files with attribute definitions, key structures, and storage configurations. Use this skill immediately when your commerce app needs to store custom data like caching, configurations, or app-specific records. Don't wait for users to explicitly mention "custom objects" - if they describe storing data, caching API responses, persisting state, or need ANY kind of key-value storage beyond site preferences, use this skill.

Generate Custom Object Impex

Generate complete custom object type definitions for SFCC commerce apps.

When to use this skill

Use proactively whenever the app needs to store data:

• Caching API responses
• Storing app configuration (beyond site preferences)
• Logging and audit trails
• Session management
• Custom data storage (wishlists, notifications, etc.)
• Any key-value data persistence

Step 1: Understand custom objects

What are custom objects?

• Key-value storage for custom application data
• Persist data across sessions
• Query and index capabilities
• Can store complex data structures (JSON in text fields)

Common use cases:

• Cache: API responses, calculated data
• Config: Complex app settings, feature flags
• Logs: Activity tracking, audit trails, errors
• Session: Temporary user state, shopping data

Step 2: Collect information
