What is agentforce-persona-generate?

A guided design process for creating an AI agent's identity, tone, behaviour, and safety rules. It can turn the result into Salesforce Agentforce configuration or an Agent Script file.

Use it to design a new Agentforce persona, write example conversations, check completeness, or prepare the persona for implementation.

An agent can behave inconsistently when its role and boundaries are not written down. This process helps define those decisions, review them, and record what is still missing.

agentforce-persona-generate — Skill for Claude Code by forcedotcom

About the project

forcedotcom/sf-skills is a collection of reusable instructions that help AI coding agents build and work with Salesforce applications and platform features. Developers use it for Agentforce agents, Lightning apps, Flow, Apex, SOQL, Lightning Web Components, and related Salesforce configuration. The catalogue entries are the repository’s skills, plugins, commands, MCP servers, and agents for AI tools that support skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00206	$0.06341
Opus 5.5	$0.00082	$0.02536
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00041	$0.01268
Haiku 4.5	$0.00021	$0.00634

Security

Grade A, and why

agentforce-persona-generate 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 14d ago.

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

Designing Agent Persona

How to Use

This skill designs an AI agent persona for Salesforce Agentforce. It walks through four sequenced phases (DRAFT → REFINE → SCORE → ENCODE) and offers five spokes (NAME, FILL OUT, ADJUST, CHECKLIST, WORKSHOP) you can run any time after DRAFT.

What it produces:

A persona document (persona/[agent-name]/persona.md) — who the agent is, how it sounds, what it never does
A sample dialog (persona/[agent-name]/sample-dialog.md) — the persona in action
An evaluation report on request (persona/[agent-name]/evaluation.md) — 100-point rubric, gap analysis, recommendations
A completeness checklist on request (persona/[agent-name]/checklist.md) — what's filled in, what's missing
A workshop outline on request (persona/[agent-name]/workshop-outline.md) — stakeholder questions, dimension cards
An encoding artifact on request — valid Agent Script .agent file, OR Agentforce Builder field values

Session resumption: If you stop mid-phase, your progress is preserved in the conversation and can be resumed.

When to Use This Skill

Designing a new Agentforce agent and need to define its personality before building (greenfield)
Auditing an existing .agent file's persona consistency (brownfield)
Translating brand guidelines into a structured persona
Producing a stakeholder workshop outline to gather design input
Aligning teams on what an agent should sound like before development

Scope boundary: This skill defines WHO the agent is. It does not define dialog flows, subagents, actions, routing, or variables — those are agent design (use agentforce-generate). The encoding output for Use Case A produces an .agent skeleton with placeholders for those structures; the user fills them in.

Framework Reference

Read references/persona-framework.md for the full framework. It defines:

Identity — 3-5 anchoring adjectives + Negative Identity (≥2 character-level anti-patterns)
14 dimensions (Personification + the 13 expression dimensions):
- Personification — Talking System / Familiar Thing / Personal Assistant
- Register — Subordinate / Peer / Advisor / Coach
- Voice — Formality, Warmth, Personality Intensity, Reading Level
- Tone — Emotional Coloring, Empathy Level (+ Tone Boundaries, Tone Flex)
- Delivery — Brevity, Humor
- Chatting Style — Emoji, Formatting, Punctuation, Capitalization
Persona Artifacts — Identity (traits + negative identity), Expression (tone boundaries + never-say + guardrails), Phrasing (phrase book + discourse markers + lexicon)
Tone Flex — how tone shifts by context (including per-subagent calibration)
Lexicon — global and per-subagent vocabulary, including immutable terms
Guardrails — content-level boundaries (e.g., "Don't offer medical advice"), distinct from Never-Say

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.
