platform-salesforce-connect-adapter-generate

platform-salesforce-connect-adapter-generate is a skill for Claude Code from forcedotcom/sf-skills. It costs 164 tokens per session (4,430 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A generator for Salesforce Connect adapters, which let Salesforce query data from an external REST API as External Objects without copying that data into Salesforce. It creates the Apex classes and related deployment metadata needed for registration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect a non-standard REST API to Salesforce, create the required Apex adapter classes, deploy metadata with the Salesforce CLI, and register the external data source.
Why use it?
It avoids building the adapter structure from scratch and clarifies when Salesforce Connect is the right choice instead of scheduled data copying.

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-salesforce-connect-adapter-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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Salesforce Connect — Custom Apex Adapter

Route the user through building a complete custom Salesforce Connect Apex adapter: two Apex classes, metadata deployment, and registration. Do not guess at the user's API shape — ask before generating.

Scope

In scope: Generating DataSource.Connection and DataSource.Provider Apex classes, Named Credential metadata, deployment via sf CLI, and step-by-step Setup registration guidance for any REST API.

Out of scope: Configuring standard adapters (OData, Snowflake, GraphQL — those have their own flows). Generating the External Data Source metadata file (not deployable via sf CLI — must be registered manually in Setup). Writing Apex that calls external APIs outside the Salesforce Connect framework (use the platform-apex-generate or integration-connectivity-generate skills).

Before starting

Confirm two things. If either is missing, ask before proceeding.

1. Is this actually a Salesforce Connect use case?

The user wants to… Right tool
Query external data live without copying it — read-only or read-write, appears as Salesforce records This skill
Copy or sync data into Salesforce on a schedule the platform-data-manage skill
Connect to OData, GraphQL, DynamoDB, Athena, or Cross-Org Standard adapter setup — no Apex needed, different flow
Connect to Snowflake via Salesforce's native Snowflake adapter (direct Snowflake protocol) Built-in Snowflake adapter — no Apex needed
Access Snowflake (or any database) data via a REST or HTTP API This skill — Snowflake REST endpoint → custom Apex adapter
Call an external API from Apex or Flow logic the platform-apex-generate skill or integration-connectivity-generate
Expose Salesforce data to an external system integration-connectivity-generate
Receive real-time pushed data or subscribe to external events Not Salesforce Connect — Connect is pull-only. Use Platform Events or Change Data Capture instead
Sync or copy data for analytics or bulk processing Data Cloud or ETL — Connect is zero-copy virtualization only

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.
