ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL to create, check the status of, list, or delete scratch org snapshots. A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of a scratch org's metadata AND data, referenced by name in the `snapshot` field of a scratch org definition file. Use when the user asks to create/take a snapshot, check a snapshot's status or creation progress, list/show/view existing snapshots (including filtering for snapshots expiring soon), or delete/remove a snapshot. Requires a Dev Hub with Scratch Org Snapshots enabled. DO NOT TRIGGER for creating org shapes (use dx-org-shape-manage) or for creating scratch orgs, including from an existing snapshot via `--snapshot` (use dx-org-manage).

When to use

• **In scope**: Creating (`sf org create snapshot`), getting status (`sf org get snapshot`), listing (`sf org list snapshot`), and deleting (`sf org delete snapshot`) scratch org snapshots
• **Out of scope**: Creating org shapes (`dx-org-shape-manage`), creating scratch orgs — including from a snapshot (`dx-org-manage`)

When not to use

• creating org shapes
• creating scratch orgs
• creating scratch orgs from an existing snapshot
