login

login is a command for coding agents from forcedotcom/sf-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (511 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Salesforce sign-in command that opens a browser to authenticate a Salesforce org. An org is a separate Salesforce environment, such as a production account or a sandbox.

In plain words
What is it for?
Signing in to production or sandbox orgs, naming the saved connection with an alias, and optionally choosing it as the project's default org.
Why use it?
It sets up the saved connection needed for Salesforce development and commands. It also supports remote terminals where opening a browser is not possible.

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

login 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Authenticate to a Salesforce org. The user can pass:

  • --alias <name> to label the auth (e.g., myDevHub, customerSandbox)
  • --instance-url <url> for non-production endpoints (e.g., https://test.salesforce.com for sandboxes, https://login.salesforce.com for production — production is the default if omitted)
  • --set-default to set this org as the project's target-org after auth

Workflow:

  1. Parse the arguments ($ARGUMENTS) the user provided. Extract alias, instance-url, and set-default flag.

  2. Run the login command:

    sf org login web {--alias $ALIAS} {--instance-url $URL}
    

    This opens a browser for OAuth. Tell the user clearly: "A browser window will open. Complete the login flow and return here."

  3. Handle browser-isn't-available case: If the user is on a remote shell or the browser won't open, fall back to:

    sf org login device-code {--alias $ALIAS} {--instance-url $URL}
    

    which prints a code the user enters at salesforce.com/setup/connect.

  4. After successful auth: if the user passed --set-default, run:

    sf config set target-org $ALIAS
    

    Otherwise, suggest they run /salesforce-development:set-default <alias> if they want to use this org for the current project.

  5. Verify: print a one-liner with the new org's alias, edition, and instance URL:

    sf org display --target-org $ALIAS --json
    

    so the user sees the connected state.

Rules:

  • Always use --json on sf commands so you can parse outcomes
  • Do NOT log access tokens or any auth secrets
  • If the user doesn't supply an alias, the auth saves under their username — recommend they pass --alias for easier reference later
  • For sandbox auth, --instance-url https://test.salesforce.com is required

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.
