What is platform-trial-org-create?

A procedure for creating a Salesforce trial, developer, or Trialforce organization from an already authenticated host organization. Salesforce is a cloud platform, and an organization is an account environment within it.

Use it to confirm the host organization, submit a SignupRequest with the Salesforce CLI, and read back the new organization's ID.

It makes clear that creating the new environment is an asynchronous provisioning action and helps avoid using the wrong host account.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00163	$0.04834
Opus 5	$0.00081	$0.02417

Security

Grade A, and why

platform-trial-org-create 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/create_signup_request.sh, scripts/get_signup_request.sh), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What this skill does

Creates a Salesforce trial org by inserting a SignupRequest sObject with the sf CLI — the same request the Trialforce/developer web signup form issues under the hood. There is no bespoke signup endpoint: signup = inserting a SignupRequest (key prefix 0SR) against an authenticated host org (a Trialforce Source Org / Env Hub / partner org that is entitled to create trial orgs).

The flow is two CLI calls: (1) create the SignupRequest, (2) read it back to pick up the assigned org id (creation is asynchronous — the org id appears shortly after the insert).

Prerequisites — confirm before executing

Authenticated host org — always confirm which one, explicitly. You are signing up from an authenticated host org, not anonymously. The sf CLI operates against an org you have already logged into once (sf org login web, or sf org login).

Always pass an explicit --target-org (-o) with the host org's alias or username on every command, and confirm the target with the user before creating — even if a default org is configured. Creating a SignupRequest is a real provisioning action; do not let it run against whatever org happens to be the default.
- Do not rely on the default-org fallback. With no -o, the CLI resolves the target from --target-org → SF_TARGET_ORG env var → local then global target-org config, and errors (NoDefaultEnvError) if none is set — it never auto-picks among your connected orgs. That default may be an unrelated dev/scratch org, so an omitted -o is either wrong-org or a hard failure. Never omit it.
- The user may have many authenticated orgs. Run sf org list and, if the intended host org is ambiguous or not provided, ask the user which alias/username to use. Do not guess.
- Verify the chosen org is Connected in sf org list before creating (stale refresh tokens / expired certs show as error states, not Connected).
- Never invent credentials.
Host org must be entitled to create trial orgs, and the invoking user must have sufficient access on it. The skill does not run a separate permission check — the sf data create record call (Step 1) is the definitive gate, and the same API enforcement is what a check would rely on. If the org is not entitled, the SignupRequest entity is not exposed and the create fails with a non-zero status and name/code of NOT_FOUND ("The requested resource does not exist") or INVALID_TYPE ("sObject type 'SignupRequest' is not supported"). This case is handled in Step 1's error table.

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.
