What it does

Sf Datacloud Connect is an agent skill from Jaganpro/sf-skills. Salesforce Data Cloud Connect phase. TRIGGER when: user manages Data Cloud connections, connectors, connector metadata, tests a connection, browses source objects or databases, or sets up a new source system. DO NOT TRIGGER when: the task is about data streams or DLOs (use sf-datacloud-prepare), DMOs or identity resolution (use sf-datacloud-harmonize), retrieval/search (use sf-datacloud-retrieve), or STDM telemetry (use sf-ai-agentforce-observability).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files (for example `CREDITS.md`, `README.md` and `examples/connections/heroku-postgres.json`). Compatibility notes: Requires an external community sf data360 CLI plugin and a Data Cloud-enabled org

It sits in Sales & Support, covering CRM management and Observability. It works with Salesforce. The repository describes itself as: [ARCHIVED — migrated to forcedotcom/afv-library] Salesforce Skills for Agentic Coding Tools — Apex, Flow, LWC, SOQL, Agentforce, Data Cloud, OmniStudio. Read-only archive; active… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : user manages Data Cloud connections
  • Connector metadata
  • Tests a connection
  • Browses source objects

Example prompts

  • “/sf-datacloud-connect”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an external community sf data360 CLI plugin and a Data Cloud-enabled org

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify readiness for connect work
  2. Discover connector types
  3. Inspect connections by type
  4. Inspect a specific connection or uploaded schema
  5. Test or create only after discovery
  6. Start from curated example payloads for external connectors
  7. Discover payload fields for unknown connector types

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53c9956. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • sf
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires an external community sf data360 CLI plugin and a Data Cloud-enabled org

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Sf Datacloud Connect loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

sf-datacloud-connect: Data Cloud Connect Phase

Use this skill when the user needs source connection work: connector discovery, connection metadata, connection testing, source-object browsing, connector schema inspection, or connector-specific setup payloads for external sources.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use sf-datacloud-connect when the work involves:

  • sf data360 connection *
  • connector catalog inspection
  • connection creation, update, test, or delete
  • browsing source objects, fields, databases, or schemas
  • identifying connector types already in use
  • preparing connector definitions for Snowflake, SharePoint Unstructured, or Ingestion API sources

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:


Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

  • target org alias
  • connector type or source system
  • whether the user wants inspection only or live mutation
  • connection name or ID if one already exists
  • whether credentials are already configured outside the CLI
  • whether the user also expects stream creation right after connection setup
  • whether the source is a database, an unstructured document source, or an Ingestion API feed

Core Operating Rules

  • Verify the plugin runtime first; see ../sf-datacloud/references/plugin-setup.md.
  • Run the shared readiness classifier before mutating connections: node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase connect --json.
  • Prefer read-only discovery before connection creation.
  • Suppress linked-plugin warning noise with 2>/dev/null for standard usage.
  • Remember that connection list requires --connector-type.
  • For connection test, pass --connector-type when resolving a non-Salesforce connection by name.
  • Discover existing connector types from streams first when the org is unfamiliar.
  • Use curated example payloads before inventing connector-specific credentials or parameters.
  • For connector types outside the curated examples, inspect a known-good UI-created connection via REST before building JSON.
  • Do not promise API-based stream creation for every connector type just because connection creation succeeds.

1. Classify readiness for connect work
bash
node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase connect --json
2. Discover connector types
bash
sf data360 connection connector-list -o <org> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 data-stream list -o <org> 2>/dev/null
3. Inspect connections by type
bash
sf data360 connection list -o <org> --connector-type SalesforceDotCom 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection list -o <org> --connector-type REDSHIFT 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection list -o <org> --connector-type SNOWFLAKE 2>/dev/null
4. Inspect a specific connection or uploaded schema
bash
sf data360 connection get -o <org> --name <connection> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection objects -o <org> --name <connection> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection fields -o <org> --name <connection> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection schema-get -o <org> --name <connection-id> 2>/dev/null
Show full SKILL.md (215 more words)Show less
5. Test or create only after discovery
bash
sf data360 connection test -o <org> --name <connection> --connector-type <type> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection create -o <org> -f connection.json 2>/dev/null
6. Start from curated example payloads for external connectors

Use the phase-owned examples before inventing a payload from scratch:

  • examples/connections/heroku-postgres.json
  • examples/connections/redshift.json
  • examples/connections/sharepoint-unstructured.json
  • examples/connections/snowflake-connection.json
  • examples/connections/ingest-api-connection.json
  • examples/connections/ingest-api-schema.json

Typical Ingestion API setup flow:

bash
sf data360 connection create -o <org> -f examples/connections/ingest-api-connection.json 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection schema-upsert -o <org> --name <connector-id> -f examples/connections/ingest-api-schema.json 2>/dev/null
sf data360 connection schema-get -o <org> --name <connector-id> 2>/dev/null
7. Discover payload fields for unknown connector types

Create one in the UI, then inspect it directly:

bash
sf api request rest "/services/data/v66.0/ssot/connections/<id>" -o <org>

High-Signal Gotchas

  • connection list has no true global "list all" mode; query by connector type.
  • The connector catalog name and connection connector type are not always the same label.
  • connection test may need --connector-type for name resolution when the source is not a default Salesforce connector.
  • An empty connection list usually means "enabled but not configured yet", not "feature disabled".
  • Heroku Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake, SharePoint Unstructured, and Ingestion API all use different credential and parameter shapes; reuse the curated examples instead of guessing.
  • SharePoint Unstructured uses clientId, clientSecret, and tokenEndpoint in the credentials array and does not require a parameters array.
  • Snowflake uses key-pair auth and can often be created through the API, but downstream stream creation can still remain UI-only.
  • Ingestion API connector setup is incomplete until connection schema-upsert has uploaded the object schema.
  • Some external connector credential setup still depends on UI-side configuration or external-system permissions.
