Pre-flight Checks

  • I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
  • I understand this proposal needs maintainer approval before a PR can be opened

Problem Description

Oracle APEXlang guidance is missing from the upstream skills taxonomy. Contributors need source-backed guidance for exporting, validating, merging, and importing declarative .apx application metadata.

Proposed Contribution

I have prepared a focused implementation in my fork:

The proposed skill covers:

  • APEXlang syntax and metadata structure
  • Export and import workflows
  • Offline validation with SQLcl
  • SQL versus APEXlang format selection
  • Merging, conflict resolution, and promotion gates
  • Application, page, shared-component, data, integration, and AI metadata

APEXlang complements SQL and PL/SQL; it does not replace them.

Validation

  • Relative Markdown links checked
  • git diff --check passed
  • APEX domain routing checked
  • Official Oracle links checked
  • Runtime APEX/SQLcl validation remains pending because no target environment is available locally

Maintainer Request

Please confirm that this contribution fits the current Oracle Skills scope and add status:approved (or provide requested changes). Once approved, I will open a PR from the fork branch and link it to this issue.

Additional Context

Lifecycle, JavaScript API, Workflow, PL/SQL API, and Generative AI guidance are intentionally excluded and will be proposed separately.
