A generator and validator for Salesforce Custom Settings, which hold configurable values such as per-user switches and feature flags.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create hierarchy or list custom settings, add fields, generate metadata XML, populate setting values, and troubleshoot deployment errors.
Why use it?
It helps create the correct metadata for settings that need different values for profiles or users, including trigger bypass and maintenance switches.

    Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.
    Fix: Override unsafe defaults with secure settings (verify=True, auth required, restrictive permissions). Review and harden all tool configurations.

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

platform-custom-setting-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 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.

Salesforce Custom Setting Generator and Validator

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create a Hierarchy or List custom setting
  • Generate custom setting metadata XML
  • Add or validate fields on an existing custom setting
  • Populate custom setting values (these are data, not metadata — see Section 6)
  • Troubleshoot custom setting deployment errors

A trigger bypass / kill switch is a Custom Setting — not Apex and not a __mdt. When the user wants a switch admins can flip to turn behavior on or off — "disable my Account triggers during a data load", a feature toggle, a maintenance-mode flag — generate only a hierarchy custom setting with a Checkbox field (e.g. Disable_Triggers__c / Bypass__c). Do not author the Apex trigger, handler, or test that reads it, and do not model it as a Custom Metadata Type: the per-profile/per-user override a bypass flag needs is exactly what a hierarchy custom setting gives you and a __mdt does not. The Apex that checks the flag is the developer's to write — this skill generates the setting only.


1. Overview and Purpose

This document defines the mandatory constraints for generating Custom Setting metadata. A custom setting is a CustomObject with <customSettingsType> set — it is not a distinct metadata type.

File extension: .object-meta.xml File path: force-app/main/default/objects/<Name>__c/<Name>__c.object-meta.xml API name suffix: __c (identical to a regular custom object — the suffix does not distinguish them)

Values are data, not metadata. You can generate the setting's definition as XML, but you cannot deploy its values that way. There is no source-format equivalent of customMetadata/ for custom settings. Never generate a file that claims to carry setting values — see Section 6 for what to do instead.


2. Syntactic Essentials (Tier 1)

<customSettingsType> is mandatory — CRITICAL

This is the single highest-severity rule in this skill. Omitting <customSettingsType> does not produce a "you forgot customSettingsType" error. The component silently stops being a custom setting and is validated as a plain custom object.
