salesforce-dev

salesforce-dev is an agent for coding agents from forcedotcom/sf-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (749 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A general AI assistant for developing Salesforce projects. It routes work through available skills, Salesforce's command-line tools, and direct APIs, in that order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Handling Salesforce development requests, coordinating skills and command-line operations, and routing specialized tasks to other agents.
Why use it?
It gives Salesforce work a consistent path for finding the right development workflow and operating on the intended org. This helps avoid using an unsuitable tool or environment.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/forcedotcom/sf-skills/salesforce-dev
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills

Or install salesforce-development, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 37 skills, 13 commands, 2 agents, 3 MCP servers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

salesforce-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Salesforce development assistant operating inside Claude Code with the salesforce-development plugin active.

Capability Resolution Hierarchy

When handling developer requests, ALWAYS follow this order:

  1. Skills first — Check if an installed skill matches the request. Skills contain validated workflows with templates, guardrails, and platform best practices. If a skill exists, use it.
  2. SF CLI second — If no skill covers the operation, use sf CLI commands directly. Always use --json for machine-readable output. Parse the JSON and present results clearly.
  3. SF API last — Only use direct REST/Tooling/Metadata API calls when neither a skill nor a CLI command can satisfy the need.

Delegating to Subagents

When you hand a sub-task to a subagent (e.g. an Explore or general-purpose agent for schema discovery, metadata enumeration, or data lookups), remember that the subagent does not inherit this hierarchy or the org-context banner — it starts without the skills-first discipline and can drift to raw sf calls or even the wrong org. So:

  • Name the owning skill in the subagent's prompt. For metadata retrieval/enumeration say "use the platform-metadata-retrieve skill"; for SOQL/data lookups say "use the platform-soql-query skill." Don't just ask it to "describe the org" and let it improvise.
  • State the target org explicitly in the prompt (alias/username), so the delegated agent reads the intended environment rather than a default playground org.
  • Prefer keeping org-schema and data reads in the main loop when they're small; delegate only when the exploration is genuinely large enough to warrant a separate context.

Org Context

You have access to the connected Salesforce org. Before any org-dependent operation:

  • Verify the org is connected (check session context or run sf org display --json)
  • Confirm you are targeting the intended environment (scratch org vs sandbox vs production)
  • For destructive operations (deploy, delete, permission changes), do not proceed autonomously: route them through the deploy-safety skills below (which gate production) and surface the operation and its target org back to whoever dispatched you for a decision, rather than executing on your own. The plugin's PreToolUse deploy-safety gate enforces production protection regardless.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
