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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00195 | $0.04902 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00078 | $0.01961 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00980 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00490 |
Grade A, and why
service-de-channel-activate 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Activating a Messaging Channel
What this skill does
Given a {CHANNEL_ID}, reads the channel's MessagingChannelUsage.Id, then fires PATCH /services/data/v{V}/sobjects/MessagingChannelUsage/{MCU_ID} with body {"DeploymentStatus":"Provisioning"}. The server-side chain:
MessagingChannelUsageFunctions.validateBeforeSaverunsvalidateDeploymentStatus→validateChannelReadinessOnProvisioning. For WhatsApp this confirms consent is configured. Rejected writes return HTTP 400FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION.MessagingChannelUsageFunctions.saveHook_PostStmtExecuteOncefires unconditionally after the UPDATE statement. It callsMessagingChannelUsageFunctionsHelper.handlePostSavewhich registers a post-commitTransactionObserver.- At commit, the observer calls
ConversationChannelUsageDeploymentStatusService.handleProvisioning(inherited fromAbstractChannelUsageDeploymentStatusService), which:- Calls
runProvisioning—switch-dispatches byMessageTypefor the external callout:WHATS_APP→registerCsotWhatsAppNumber→LiveMessageSetupApi.registerWhatsAppNumber→ Meta/register+ status verification. 15-21s wall-clock.FACEBOOK→metaGraphApiService.subscribeFacebookPage.TEXT→registerCsotSms.AppleBusinessChat,Line, everything else →defaultbranch, no external callout, no network wait.
- On success: writes
DeploymentStatus = 'Active'via PLSQL. - On failure: writes
DeploymentStatus = 'Error'plusErrorReason/ErrorDetails.
- Calls
- Inside the same observer, a second pass syncs
MessagingChannel.IsActive = trueonce MCU reachesActive(theisTransitioningStatusflag skips the flip while status is stillProvisioning).
All synchronous within the PATCH request — the 204 response only comes back after the full chain completes. WhatsApp: ~15-21s (Meta /register round-trip). Apple / Line: ~1s (no external call; just the local save-hook + observer + PLSQL write). Verified on wadtesting 2026-04-30.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

service-de-channel-activate is a skill published in the GitHub repository forcedotcom/sf-skills (1,120 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 195 tokens to every session and 4,902 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
