## What it does

The skill covers the patterns an agent keeps getting wrong on Salesforce: Lightning Web Components with the `@wire` decorator for reactive data binding, Apex triggers with logic moved into a handler class, and Queueable Apex for async work. It also lists anti-patterns — SOQL and DML inside loops, hardcoded IDs.

Apex triggers have to survive bulk loads of 200+ records per transaction, so the handler pattern is not a style preference. It is how you avoid recursion and governor limits when data arrives in batches. For Queueable Apex the skill names the limits: 50 jobs per transaction and one child job when chaining. Worth checking against your own queues if async logic is already spread across jobs.

Install is a single `npx` command, and the file lands at `~/.claude/skills/salesforce-development/SKILL.md`. The skill itself needs no API keys or environment setup.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill development/salesforce-development
```

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill salesforce-development -a claude-code
```

3. **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

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

### Cursor

**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 davila7/claude-code-templates salesforce-development
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/development/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

### 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/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/skills/development/salesforce-development

## When to use it
- write an LWC that binds data with `@wire`
- build an Apex trigger that survives bulk loads
- move trigger logic into a handler class and stop recursion
- push heavy processing into Queueable Apex
- find SOQL and DML inside loops in existing code

## Example prompts
- write an LWC component that pulls records through `@wire`
- rewrite this trigger with the handler pattern so it handles 200+ records
- check this class for SOQL and DML inside loops
