app-and-tab-configuration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BanibrataChatterjee/AwesomeSalesforceSkills. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,429 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to setting up Salesforce Lightning apps, including their tabs, utility bar tools, and which user profiles can see them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update Lightning apps, expose custom objects through tabs, configure utility bar components, and assign app visibility by profile.
Why use it?
It prevents navigation items from being missing or visible to the wrong people. It also clarifies that app visibility does not grant access to the underlying records or fields.

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

app-and-tab-configuration 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_app_and_tab_configuration.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App and Tab Configuration

Use this skill when an admin needs to create a Lightning app, expose custom objects via custom tabs, configure a utility bar, or control which users see which apps. This skill covers the full App Manager workflow from initial creation through profile visibility assignment.


Before Starting

Gather this context before working on anything in this domain:

  • Confirm whether the org uses Lightning Experience — Lightning apps only appear in Lightning Experience, not Salesforce Classic. Classic users see Classic apps.
  • Know whether users need a standard navigation app or a console app (console apps have split-view and a work queue; standard apps have a horizontal nav bar).
  • Identify which custom objects require tabs — a custom object does NOT appear in navigation unless a custom tab exists for it.
  • Confirm which profiles will use the app. App visibility is controlled per-profile via the App Manager; adding visibility to a profile does not automatically grant object or field access.

Core Concepts

Lightning Apps vs Classic Apps

App Manager (Setup > App Manager) shows all apps in the org. Lightning Experience apps appear in the App Launcher (waffle icon). Classic apps appear in the Classic app menu. An app marked as "Lightning Experience App" cannot be used in Classic, and vice versa. Console apps are a subtype of Lightning app that provide a multi-tab work environment; they require the Service Cloud or Sales Cloud console license for most users.

The Metadata API type for apps is CustomApplication. App navigation items are stored in the CustomApplication metadata component, with each item listed under navItems. Tabs are separate CustomTab metadata components that reference the object, Visualforce page, or Lightning component the tab surfaces.

Custom Tabs

A custom tab is required to surface any of the following in a Lightning app navigation bar:

  • A custom object's list view and record pages
  • A Visualforce page
  • A Lightning component (Aura or LWC)
  • An external web URL

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.
