sf-debug

sf-debug is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from divingsbysangam/salesforce-compound-engineering-plugin. It costs 95 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured debugging skill for Salesforce applications, including Apex code, triggers, Lightning web components, deployments, permissions, and integrations. It traces how a problem moves through the system before suggesting or applying a fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate Apex test failures, trigger behavior, Lightning web component errors, deployment validation problems, governor-limit exceptions, permission issues, and failed external API calls.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a review of the full cause-and-effect chain, from the user interface or automation through database changes and callbacks. This helps distinguish the root cause from symptoms such as failed tests or deployment errors.

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-debug 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.

Principles enforced: 2 (verifiability), 3 (jagged intelligence). See PRINCIPLES.md.

Persona dispatch. This skill dispatches personas as isolated subagents — see the dispatching-parallel-personas skill for the mechanics (isolated subagents, same-response parallelism, same-file-conflict check). The sf-bug-reproduction-validator (a writer) and any reviewers it spawns live under references/personas/; research personas are referenced from ../sf-plan/references/personas/.

Investigate Salesforce-specific bugs systematically — tracing the full causal chain (UI → Flow → trigger → Apex → DML → callback) before proposing a fix — and optionally implement the fix with test-first discipline.

Required reads

Procedure lives in sibling files, not only in this orchestrator:

  • Mandatory debugging gate — read references/mandatory-debugging-gate.md before acting on this section.
  • 3-strikes escalation rule — read references/3-strikes-escalation-rule.md before acting on this section.
  • Defense-in-depth pattern — read references/defense-in-depth-pattern.md before acting on this section.
  • Related — read references/related.md before acting on this section.
  • Pipeline mode — when invoked with mode:pipeline, read references/pipeline-mode.md before mutating.

Iron Law: no fixes without root-cause classification first (references/mandatory-debugging-gate.md).

Mode

Default is interactive. mode:pipeline (set by sf-babysit-pr or sf-lfg) is non-interactive: never ask the user; fix only convergent bugs; return the structured JSON in references/pipeline-mode.md. Status spellings are fixed: fixed-and-pushed | fixed-not-pushed | diagnosed-no-fix | flaky-infra | needs-human.

Salesforce Angle

  • Trigger context awareness: when a bug surfaces in a trigger, identify whether it fires on before insert, after update, after undelete, etc., and whether the same logic must hold across all relevant contexts.

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.
