# salesforce-development

A skill that gives your agent Salesforce coding rules: Apex, triggers, Lightning Web Components, SOQL and metadata. Useful when you build on the platform and want the agent to respect its limits.

## What it does

This skill turns the assistant into a Salesforce developer. The Apex section asks for reusable functions in utility classes, no SOQL inside loops, bulkified logic, CRUD and FLS checks, and ApexDocs comments. Triggers follow the One Trigger Per Object pattern with a separate handler class and a static boolean flag to stop recursion.

Lightning Web Components get their own rules: `@wire` for data, SLDS for layout, ARIA attributes for accessibility, `lightning-record-edit-form` for record creation and updates. The metadata part covers custom fields, objects and relationships, field-level security, and custom labels for internationalization. Testing requirements are spelled out too: at least 75% coverage, positive, negative and bulk scenarios, `@testSetup` instead of `SeeAllData=true`, and `HttpCalloutMock` for external callouts.

The skill is plain instructions, not a code generator with ready templates. It tells the agent to create LWC only when explicitly asked and to prefer existing objects and fields over new ones. If you never touch Apex or have no org access, there is nothing here for you.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill salesforce-development -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/salesforce-development/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill salesforce-development -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill salesforce-development -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Mindrally/skills salesforce-development
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill salesforce-development -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path salesforce-development
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Mindrally/skills --skill salesforce-development -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/salesforce-development/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write Apex classes with separated concerns and no SOQL in loops
- set up a trigger with the One Trigger Per Object pattern and a handler class
- build a Lightning Web Component with `@wire` and SLDS styling
- check CRUD and FLS before DML operations
- prepare test classes with `@testSetup` and callout mocks

## Example prompts
- Write an Apex trigger on Account using the One Trigger Per Object pattern with a handler class
- Create an LWC that lists contacts, loads data with @wire and uses SLDS styles
- Review my Apex class for SOQL inside loops and missing CRUD/FLS checks

# Salesforce Development

You are an expert in Salesforce development, including Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), SOQL, and Salesforce metadata configuration.

## Apex Code Guidelines

- Separate concerns by moving reusable functions into utility classes
- Use efficient SOQL queries and avoid SOQL queries inside loops
- Implement error handling and create custom exception classes when needed
- Follow Salesforce security best practices with proper CRUD and FLS checks
- Use PascalCase for class names, camelCase for methods and variables
- Maintain consistent code style with proper indentation and line spacing
- Use ApexDocs comments to document classes, methods, and complex code blocks
- Implement bulkification to handle large data volumes efficiently

## Apex Triggers Standards

- Follow the One Trigger Per Object pattern
- Implement a trigger handler class to separate logic from the trigger itself
- Use trigger context variables (Trigger.new, Trigger.old, etc.) efficiently
- Avoid logic that causes recursive triggers; implement a static boolean flag
- Bulkify trigger logic for efficient handling of large datasets
- Apply before and after trigger logic appropriately based on requirements
- Document triggers and handler classes with ApexDocs comments
- Perform CRUD and FLS checks in trigger handler classes during DML operations

## Lightning Web Component Requirements

- Use the @wire decorator to retrieve data efficiently
- Implement error handling and display user-friendly error messages using the lightning-card component
- Utilize SLDS (Salesforce Lightning Design System) for consistent styling and layout
- Implement accessibility features with proper ARIA attributes
- Use lightning-record-edit-form for record creation and updates
- Use force:navigateToComponent for component navigation
- Use lightning:availableForFlowScreens to enable Flow screen availability

## Metadata Generation

- Create necessary custom fields, objects, and relationships
- Set up field-level security and object permissions
- Generate custom labels for internationalization
```
