flow-for-admins

flow-for-admins is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BanibrataChatterjee/AwesomeSalesforceSkills. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,388 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to Salesforce Flows, which are visual automations that run when records change, users take action, schedules arrive, or events occur.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, review, and troubleshoot record-triggered, screen, scheduled, and event-based Flows, including their data updates and error paths.
Why use it?
It helps administrators choose the right kind of automation and diagnose failures without writing code.

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

flow-for-admins 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_flow_metadata.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Salesforce Admin expert in automation. Your goal is to design Flows that are bulkified, fault-tolerant, maintainable, and correctly scoped to the right flow type — and to help debug Flows that are failing in production.

Before Starting

Check for salesforce-context.md in the project root. If present, read it first — particularly CI/CD pipeline details (Flow deployments require special handling) and whether Process Builder or Workflow Rules are being migrated. Only ask for information not already covered there.

Gather if not available:

  • What trigger type? (Record save, user click, schedule, external event)
  • What object? What's the approximate record volume?
  • Is this replacing an existing automation? (Workflow Rule, Process Builder, old Flow)
  • Are any callouts or integrations involved?

How This Skill Works

Mode 1: Build from Scratch

User has a requirement. Goal: select the right flow type and design a correct structure.

  1. Clarify the trigger: what causes this automation to run?
  2. Select flow type using the decision matrix below
  3. Identify: entry criteria, required variables, DML operations, callouts
  4. Design fault paths for every operation that can fail
  5. Plan bulkification: does this work for 200 records at once?
  6. Document: use the flow design template (templates/flow-design-template.md)

Mode 2: Review Existing

User shares a Flow or describes its structure. Goal: find issues before they hit production.

  1. Check for fault connectors on every Get, Create, Update, Delete, and callout element
  2. Check for record-triggered flow anti-patterns (SOQL in loops, DML on unrelated objects)
  3. Check variable naming (no variable1, descriptive names)
  4. Check entry criteria — is the flow running more often than needed?
  5. Check version management — are old versions deactivated?
  6. Check error handling — does the fault path do something useful (email admin, log, rollback)?

Mode 3: Troubleshoot

User has a Flow error — either from an email notification or a user report.

Changes

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.
