developing-datacloud-code-extension Skill
Overview
This skill provides a complete workflow for developing, testing, and deploying custom Python code extensions to Salesforce Data Cloud. Code extensions allow you to write Python transformations that read from and write to Data Lake Objects (DLOs) and Data Model Objects (DMOs).
When to Use
- User wants to create a new code extension project
- User needs to test a code extension locally
- User wants to scan code for required permissions
- User needs to deploy a code extension to Data Cloud
- User is working with Data Cloud transformations
- User wants to read/write DLO or DMO data programmatically
Prerequisites Check
Before executing any code extension commands, verify prerequisites:

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.
43generating-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.
42generating-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.
40generating-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.
40switching-org
Switches the active Salesforce org (default target-org) using the Salesforce CLI. Use whenever someone wants to change which org CLI commands run against — whether they say "switch org", "change default org", "set my org to", "use alias", "point to", or describe wanting to work against a specific org, scratch org, sandbox, or production.
40generating-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.
