sf-ideate

sf-ideate is a skill for Claude Code from divingsbysangam/salesforce-compound-engineering-plugin. It costs 74 tokens per session (630 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Salesforce idea-generation skill for exploring improvements to an org, which is a Salesforce environment containing its data and configuration. It produces several ideas grounded in the available code, metadata, strategy, and documented lessons, then critiques them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding what to improve in a Salesforce org, exploring options for existing Apex code, or looking for broader strategic ideas grounded in the current project.
Why use it?
It gives brainstorming a connection to the actual Salesforce system instead of producing disconnected suggestions. Critiquing each idea exposes its supporting evidence and likely weaknesses before someone decides what to build.

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-ideate 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.

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: especially 5 (taste over typing — deciding what to build is a human call) and 7 (outsource thinking, not understanding). See PRINCIPLES.md.

Strategy grounding: If a STRATEGY.md exists at the repo root, read it first and ground ideas in its target problem, approach, and key metrics. If none exists and the topic is strategic, suggest /sf-strategy.

Generate 3-5 grounded ideas about a Salesforce topic with explicit warrants, then critique each.

<feature_description> #$ARGUMENTS </feature_description>

Salesforce Angle

  • Ideas are grounded in the current org's metadata, Apex code structure, and docs/solutions/ learnings.
  • Surprise mode pulls from cross-domain analogies (other Salesforce orgs, SF community patterns) rather than local repo signals only.

Interaction Method

When asking the user a question, use the platform's blocking question tool (AskUserQuestion in Claude Code, request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini). Fall back to numbered options in chat when no blocking tool is available. Ask one question at a time. Prefer concise single-select choices when natural options exist.

Procedure

This skill follows the standard sf-compound-engineering execution discipline:

  1. Understand the input — read the <feature_description> block above and any referenced files, plans, or issues.
  2. Plan a small set of phases — break the work into 2-5 ordered steps that an implementer (or another skill) can verify.
  3. Apply the Salesforce Angle notes above — these encode the platform-specific considerations (governor limits, sharing context, deploy ordering, FLS, metadata semantics) that distinguish this skill from generic counterparts.
  4. Use Salesforce-aware contexts and commands — file paths under force-app/main/default/..., test commands like sf apex run test, deploy commands like sf project deploy validate and sf project deploy start, query the org with sf data query when state inspection is needed.
  5. Surface decisions back to the user — when a step requires a choice that materially affects scope or risk, ask using the platform's blocking question tool rather than guessing.

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.
