platform-soql-query is a skill for Claude Code from forcedotcom/sf-skills. It costs 132 tokens per session (2,570 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing and improving SOQL and SOSL, Salesforce's languages for finding records and text in Salesforce data. It covers ordinary, related-record, summary, and performance-focused queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate queries, retrieve related records, calculate grouped results, inspect query plans, and improve query performance.
Why use it?
It helps turn plain requests into safer queries and identify query designs that may be slow or exceed Salesforce usage limits.

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-soql-query 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/post-tool-validate.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.

platform-soql-query: Salesforce SOQL Query Expert

Use this skill when the user needs SOQL/SOSL authoring or optimization: natural-language-to-query generation, relationship queries, aggregates, query-plan analysis, and performance/safety improvements for Salesforce queries.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use platform-soql-query when the work involves:

  • .soql files
  • query generation from natural language
  • relationship queries and aggregate queries
  • query optimization and selectivity analysis
  • SOQL/SOSL syntax and governor-aware design

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:


Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

  • target object(s)
  • fields needed
  • filter criteria
  • sort / limit requirements
  • whether the query is for display, automation, reporting-like analysis, or Apex usage
  • whether performance / selectivity is already a concern

1. Generate the simplest correct query

Prefer:

  • only needed fields
  • clear WHERE criteria
  • reasonable LIMIT when appropriate
  • relationship depth only as deep as necessary

While drafting, call mcp__plugin_salesforce-development_salesforce-lsp__complete_soql with the partial query to get schema-aware completion of object, field, and relationship names against the connected org — this avoids guessing API names that then fail validation. On error envelope or unavailable ({error: <code>} / tool not registered), skip completion and rely on the syntax reference in references/soql-syntax-reference.md.

When the query already lives inside an Apex class (optimizing or debugging embedded SOQL rather than authoring new), call mcp__plugin_salesforce-development_salesforce-lsp__extract_soql_from_apex with the .cls file to pull the SOQL strings out before analyzing them, so you optimize the exact query the class runs.

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.
