Use to enable Salesforce Change Data Capture (CDC) on a standard or custom object, configure a custom event channel, set a filter expression, or add enrichment fields. TRIGGER broadly on any of: 'enable CDC', 'enable Change Data Capture', 'turn on CDC', 'subscribe X to change events', 'only emit events for', 'filter change events', 'enrich change events', 'create a custom event channel'; or any mention of CDC, change events, PlatformEventChannel, PlatformEventChannelMember, EnrichedField, ChangeEvents channel, enrichment fields, change event filter; or when the user wants a downstream system to receive Salesforce data changes; or when the user touches .platformEventChannelMember-meta.xml / .platformEventChannel-meta.xml files. SKIP when publishing platform events, Pub/Sub API or REST/SOAP (use integration-connectivity-generate), or ManagedEventSubscription (out of scope for CDC). Always use this skill for CDC channel-membership metadata.

# Managing Change Data Capture Enablement

Generate the metadata that subscribes Salesforce objects to Change Data Capture: `PlatformEventChannelMember` files for the default `ChangeEvents` channel or a custom channel, and `PlatformEventChannel` files for new custom channels. Covers enrichment fields, filter expressions, and the canonical naming and value formats that the Metadata API actually accepts (which differ from values that appear in many internal test fixtures and code-search hits).

## Scope

- **In scope**: Generating `PlatformEventChannelMember` and `PlatformEventChannel` metadata for CDC. Subscribing standard objects, custom objects, or both. Configuring enrichment fields. Configuring filter expressions. Defining custom data channels.
- **Out of scope**: Publishing custom platform events (PE) — that's a different metadata type (`PlatformEvent`). Pub/Sub API or external Kafka/Bayeux configuration. Pricing/limits guidance — refer the user to the [CDC Developer Guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.change_data_capture.meta/change_data_capture/). Programmatic event-bus subscribers in Apex.
