experience-lds-best-practices-apply
Use when reviewing or implementing Lightning Data Service best practices in an LWC (.js, .html, .js-meta.xml) — UIAPI vs Apex, refreshApex / notifyRecordUpdateAvailable, @salesforce/schema imports, LDS record-form data patterns. TRIGGER on "apply LDS best practices to this LWC", "review this LWC for LDS best-practice issues", "review this component for Lightning Data Service issues", "UIAPI or Apex for this data?", "fix stale data after record save", "sync LDS cache", "use @salesforce/schema for field names", "choose between getRecord and Apex". DO NOT TRIGGER when building a new LWC (use experience-lwc-generate), applying SLDS design tokens (use design-systems-slds-apply), picking or wiring a `lightning-*` base component's props/events/slots generically (use experience-lwc-base-components-integrate — this skill covers only the LDS data-layer rationale, even when the fix involves a base record form), or for security / RTL / accessibility reviews (separate passes).

# Applying LDS Best Practices
Apply the Lightning Data Service guidelines to a Lightning Web Component. Three pillars: **data consistency**, **referential integrity**, and **UIAPI vs Apex**. Focused on the UI API path — GraphQL and upstream data-requirements analysis are handled out-of-band.
## When to Use
- Reviewing a component's data layer for LDS compliance (hand-rolled forms, stringly-typed field names, un-synchronized Apex + LDS, Apex overuse).
- Implementing CRUD on standard or custom objects.
- Deciding between `getRecord`, `getRecords`, `createRecord`, `updateRecord`, `deleteRecord`, base record form components, or Apex.
- Fixing stale-data bugs after record mutation.
- Adding schema imports (`@salesforce/schema/...`) to replace hard-coded field/object names.
