A guide to using Salesforce Lightning Data Service, the data layer for reading and changing Salesforce records, correctly in Lightning Web Components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing or implementing LWC record operations, choosing UI API or Apex, using record forms and schema imports, and refreshing data after changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent stale data, mismatched records, hard-coded field names, and unnecessary use of server-side Apex 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

experience-lds-best-practices-apply 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 12d 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.

Applying LDS Best Practices

Apply the Lightning Data Service guidelines to a Lightning Web Component. Three pillars: data consistency, referential integrity, and UIAPI vs Apex. Focused on the UI API path — GraphQL and upstream data-requirements analysis are handled out-of-band.

When to Use

  • Reviewing a component's data layer for LDS compliance (hand-rolled forms, stringly-typed field names, un-synchronized Apex + LDS, Apex overuse).
  • Implementing CRUD on standard or custom objects.
  • Deciding between getRecord, getRecords, createRecord, updateRecord, deleteRecord, base record form components, or Apex.
  • Fixing stale-data bugs after record mutation.
  • Adding schema imports (@salesforce/schema/...) to replace hard-coded field/object names.

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • GraphQL query/mutation generation — handled out-of-band today.
  • Upstream data-requirements discovery — handled out-of-band today.
  • SLDS class / design-token work (use design-systems-slds-apply).
  • Accessibility, security, or RTL review — those are separate passes run with their own tooling.

Prerequisites

  • Component path.
  • Understanding of the component's data operations (read / write / both) and whether Apex is already involved.
  • Access to the org's schema for @salesforce/schema imports (Setup → Object Manager → <Object> → Details → API Name; or, when GraphQL serves the read, an SDL pulled from the target org).

Knowledge Bases

Per-adapter API referencereferences/adapter-apis.md holds Syntax / Parameters / Returns / Usage for every UI API adapter, grouped by family (uiRecordApis, uiListsApis, uiRelatedListApis, uiObjectInfoApis). Each adapter is a # `<name>` block; grep for the backticked name (e.g. # `getRecord`) to jump to its entry. Read this before wiring an adapter; do not paraphrase from memory.

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.
