building-sf-integrations
building-sf-integrations: Salesforce Integration Patterns Expert
Use this skill when the user needs integration architecture and runtime plumbing: Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, CDC, and event-driven integration design.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use building-sf-integrations when the work involves:
.namedCredential-meta.xmlor External Credential metadata- outbound REST/SOAP callouts
- External Service registration from OpenAPI specs
- Platform Events, CDC, and event-driven architecture
- choosing sync vs async integration patterns
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
- configuring the OAuth app itself → configuring-connected-apps
- writing Apex-only business logic → generating-apex
- deploying metadata → deploying-metadata
- importing/exporting data → handling-sf-data

generating-apex-test
Generate and validate Apex test classes with TestDataFactory patterns, bulk testing (251+ records), mocking strategies, assertion best practices, and disciplined test-fix loops. Use this skill when creating new Apex test classes, improving test coverage, debugging and fixing failing Apex tests, running test execution and coverage analysis, or implementing testing patterns for triggers, services, controllers, batch jobs, queueables, and integrations. Triggers on *Test.cls, *_Test.cls files, sf apex run test workflows, coverage reports, test-fix loops. Do NOT trigger for production Apex code (use generating-apex) or Jest/LWC tests.
81generating-apex
Primary Apex authoring skill for class generation, refactoring, and review. ALWAYS ACTIVATE when the user mentions Apex, .cls, triggers, or asks to create/refactor a class (service, selector, domain, batch, queueable, schedulable, invocable, DTO, utility, interface, abstract, exception, REST resource). Use this skill for requests involving SObject CRUD, mapping collections, fetching related records, scheduled jobs, batch jobs, trigger design, @AuraEnabled controllers, @RestResource endpoints, custom REST APIs, or code review of existing Apex.
80generating-custom-object
Use this skill when users need to create, generate, or validate Salesforce Custom Object metadata. Trigger when users mention custom objects, creating objects, object metadata, .object files, sharing models, name fields, or validation rules on objects. Also use when users say things like \"create a custom object\", \"generate object metadata\", \"set up an object for...\", or when they're troubleshooting object deployment errors especially around sharing models and Master-Detail relationships. Always use this skill for any custom object metadata work.
76generating-custom-field
Use this skill when users need to create, generate, or validate Salesforce Custom Field metadata. Trigger when users mention custom fields, field types, Roll-up Summary fields, Master-Detail relationships, Lookup relationships, formula fields, picklists, or field metadata. Also use when users encounter field deployment errors, especially around Roll-up Summary format, Master-Detail constraints, or formula issues. Always use this skill for any custom field metadata work, field generation, or field troubleshooting.
76generating-custom-lightning-type
Use this skill when users need to create Custom Lightning Types (CLTs) for Einstein Agent actions or structured input/output schemas. Trigger when users mention CLT, Custom Lightning Types, JSON schemas for agents, type definitions, lightning__objectType, or editor/renderer configurations. This is complex - always use this skill for CLT work.
76generating-flow
Generate Salesforce Flows using the MCP tool execute_metadata_action. Use when the user asks to create, build, or generate a flow — including Screen, Autolaunched, Record-Triggered (before/after-save), Scheduled. Also trigger for flow-like requests such as \"when a record is created\", \"trigger daily at\", \"send an email when\", \"update the field when\", \"automate\", \"workflow\", or \"flow XML/metadata\". This is the only skill for Salesforce Flow generation.
