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.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00110 | $0.02291 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00916 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00458 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00229 |
Grade A, and why
platform-metadata-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 13d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

platform-metadata-deploy: Comprehensive Salesforce DevOps Automation
Use this skill when the user needs deployment orchestration: dry-run validation, targeted or manifest-based deploys, CI/CD workflow advice, scratch-org management, failure triage, or safe rollout sequencing for Salesforce metadata.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use platform-metadata-deploy when the work involves:
sf project deploy start,quick,report, or retrieval workflows- release sequencing across objects, permission sets, Apex, and Flows
- CI/CD gates, test-level selection, or deployment reports
- troubleshooting deployment failures and dependency ordering
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
- authoring Apex code → platform-apex-generate
- authoring LWC components → experience-lwc-generate
- creating custom objects or fields → platform-custom-object-generate, platform-custom-field-generate
- building Flows → automation-flow-generate
- doing org data operations → platform-data-manage
- authoring or testing Agentforce agents → agentforce-generate
Critical Operating Rules
- Use
sfCLI v2 only. - On non-source-tracking orgs, deploy/retrieve commands require an explicit scope such as
--source-dir,--metadata, or--manifest. - Prefer
--dry-runfirst before real deploys. - For Flows, deploy safely and activate only after validation.
- Keep test-data creation guidance delegated to
platform-data-manageafter metadata is validated or deployed.
Default deployment order
| Phase | Metadata |
|---|---|
| 1 | Custom objects / fields |
| 2 | Permission sets |
| 3 | Apex |
| 4 | Flows as Draft |
| 5 | Flow activation / post-verify |
This ordering prevents many dependency and FLS failures.

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.

platform-metadata-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository forcedotcom/sf-skills (1,104 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 2,291 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
