{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).
