configuring-connected-apps: Salesforce Connected Apps & External Client Apps
Use this skill when the user needs OAuth app configuration in Salesforce: Connected Apps, External Client Apps (ECAs), JWT bearer setup, PKCE decisions, scope design, or migration from older Connected App patterns to newer ECA patterns.
Scope
In scope:
.connectedApp-meta.xmlor.eca-meta.xmlfiles- OAuth flow selection and callback / scope setup
- JWT bearer auth, device flow, client credentials, or auth-code decisions
- Connected App vs External Client App architecture choices
- Consumer key / secret / certificate handling strategy
Out of scope — delegate elsewhere:
- Configuring Named Credentials or runtime callouts → building-sf-integrations
- Deploying metadata to orgs → deploying-metadata
- Writing Apex token-handling code → generating-apex

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.

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.
