sf-cli

sf-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from divingsbysangam/salesforce-compound-engineering-plugin. It costs 136 tokens per session (1,221 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill for common Salesforce CLI commands, where the CLI is the command-line tool used to work with Salesforce projects and orgs. It covers deploying, retrieving, testing, authenticating, and querying existing metadata and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run or look up commands for deployments, dry-run validation, retrieving metadata, running tests, connecting to orgs, and querying org data.
Why use it?
It provides a checked workflow for validating and deploying Salesforce changes, including a dry run that checks a deployment without applying it. It also makes clear when another skill is needed to create new Salesforce files.

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

sf-cli 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 4d ago.

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.

Salesforce CLI Skill

Reference for common sf CLI commands used in Salesforce development workflows. This skill does not generate metadata — it runs CLI against metadata that already exists.

New FlexiPage / LEX app lightning-page-generate Page orchestration
New permission set permission-set-generate Least privilege

Agentforce publish agentforce-develop Agent CLI, not sf project deploy

Fail-closed deploy

Every deploy-shaped request follows this contract. Do not report a deploy as successful because a command was skipped.

  1. Preferred — validate: sf project deploy start --dry-run --json with an explicit --source-dir, --metadata, or --manifest. Paste the JSON (or a tight error extract) on the Compile line.
  2. Fallback if dry-run is unrecognized: sf project deploy validate --json with the same scope.
  3. If both fail to run (CLI missing, not logged in, timeout, empty/uncertain output): compile=unavailable: <reason>. That is not a pass.
  4. Production: do not run a non-dry-run deploy to a production org without explicit user confirmation of the org alias. Prefer validate-then-quick-deploy when the org supports it.
  5. Destructive / delete: confirm with the user before sf project delete or a destructive manifest.
  6. Always pass --json when parsing results. Always name --target-org when the default org is not the intended target.

Deploy

# Deploy source to org
sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app

# Deploy specific metadata
sf project deploy start --metadata ApexClass:MyClass

# Validate without deploying (dry run)
sf project deploy start --dry-run --source-dir force-app

# Deploy with test execution
sf project deploy start --source-dir force-app --test-level RunLocalTests

# Check deploy status
sf project deploy report

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.
