## What it does

The plugin recognizes a Salesforce DX project through `sfdx-project.json`, adds org context, and routes requests through skills, the Salesforce CLI, and Salesforce-hosted MCP servers. Its skills cover Apex, SOQL/SOSL, objects and fields, Flow, reports, permissions, data operations, metadata deploy/retrieve, and environment checks.

It also includes the `salesforce-dev` agent and namespaced commands for capability discovery, setup, status, login, and org work. You need Claude Code 2.1.222 or later, Node.js LTS, Salesforce CLI, and Python 3.8+. Salesforce org authorization is required before deployment and org data operations can use that org.

**AI-powered Salesforce platform development in Claude Code**

The foundation plugin for building apps and agents on the Salesforce Platform. When you open Claude Code in a Salesforce DX project, this plugin auto-detects your environment, injects org context, and provides AI assistance through validated skills, the Salesforce CLI, and Salesforce hosted MCP servers. The plugin uses this three-tier capability resolution: Skills (primary) → Salesforce CLI (secondary) → Salesforce MCP (last resort). Simply use natural language to describe what you want to build — no need to memorize any slash commands.

## Quick Start

This quick start describes the required software you must install, how to authorize your Salesforce org, and how to install this plugin from Anthropic's official Claude Code plugin marketplace.

1. **Install prerequisites:**
   - [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) — requires Claude Code 2.1.222 or later
   - [Node.js LTS](https://nodejs.org). The bundled language servers run under `node`.
   - [Salesforce CLI](https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/salesforcecli). The MCP host and deploy hooks shell out to `sf`.
   - Python 3.8+. The org-detection, deploy-safety, and agent-validation hooks use Python under the hood.

2. Authorize your Salesforce org. From a terminal or command window, use the `org login web` Salesforce CLI command which opens a browser where you log into your org with your authentication credentials:
   ```bash
   sf org login web --alias my-org --set-default
   ```

3. In Claude Code, install the plugin from the official `claude-plugins-official` marketplace (pre-registered, no `marketplace add` needed):
   ```text
   /plugin install salesforce-development@claude-plugins-official
   ```
   Alternatively, install from the Salesforce-hosted marketplace:
   ```text
   /plugin marketplace add forcedotcom/sf-skills
   /plugin install salesforce-development@salesforce
   ```

4. (Optional) Validate your environment:
   ```text
   /salesforce-development:setup
   ```

You're all set. Open a Salesforce DX project and start describing what you need.

## Example Prompts

Once you're all set up, use natural language to describe what you want to do; there's no need to memorize any slash commands:

- "Create an Apex service class to handle Account territory assignments."
- "Generate a custom object `Project__c` with fields for Name, Status, Due Date, and Owner."
- "Deploy the current changes to my sandbox."
- "Write test class for AccountTerritoryService and run it."
- "Validate a deployment to production."
- "Build a permission set that grants read access to Accounts and Contacts."
- “What can I do here?”

## Verify, Update, and Uninstall the Plugin

- **Verify:** `/plugin` lists `salesforce-development`. `/salesforce-development:status` shows the org/project banner. `"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}"/bin/lsp-doctor` checks the bundled language-server host.
- **Update:** if you installed from `claude-plugins-official`, updates happen automatically; to update manually run `/plugin update salesforce-development@claude-plugins-official`. If you installed from the `salesforce` marketplace, run `/plugin marketplace update salesforce` then `/plugin update salesforce-development@salesforce`.
- **Uninstall:** `/plugin uninstall salesforce-development@claude-plugins-official` (or `@salesforce`, matching however you installed it). If you added the `salesforce` marketplace, also run `/plugin marketplace remove salesforce`.
