What it does

Sf Datacloud Retrieve is an agent skill from Jaganpro/sf-skills. Salesforce Data Cloud Retrieve phase. TRIGGER when: user runs Data Cloud SQL, describe, async queries, vector search, search-index workflows, or metadata introspection for Data Cloud objects. DO NOT TRIGGER when: the task is standard CRM SOQL (use sf-soql), segment creation or calculated insight design (use sf-datacloud-segment), or STDM/session tracing/parquet analysis (use sf-ai-agentforce-observability).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `CREDITS.md`, `README.md` and `examples/search-indexes/hybrid-structured.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, Vector databases and DataFrames. It works with SQL and 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 runs Data Cloud SQL
  • Search-index workflows
  • Metadata introspection for Data Cloud objects
  • : the task is standard CRM SOQL (use sf-soql)

Example prompts

  • “/sf-datacloud-retrieve”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify readiness for retrieve work
  2. Choose the smallest correct query shape
  3. Use describe before guessing fields
  4. Use vector or hybrid search only when an index exists
  5. Reuse curated search-index examples when creating indexes

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 Retrieve loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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-retrieve: Data Cloud Retrieve Phase

Use this skill when the user needs query, search, and metadata introspection for Data Cloud: sync SQL, paginated SQL, async query workflows, table describe, vector search, hybrid search, or search index operations.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use sf-datacloud-retrieve when the work involves:

  • sf data360 query *
  • sf data360 search-index *
  • sf data360 metadata *
  • sf data360 profile * or sf data360 insight * inspection
  • understanding Data Cloud SQL results or query shape

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:


Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

  • target org alias
  • whether the user needs quick count, medium result set, large export, schema inspection, or semantic search
  • table/index name if known
  • whether the task is read-only SQL or search-index lifecycle management

Core Operating Rules

  • Treat Data Cloud SQL as its own query language, not SOQL.
  • Run the shared readiness classifier before relying on query/search surfaces: node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json.
  • Use describe before guessing columns.
  • Prefer sqlv2 or async query flows for larger result sets.
  • Use vector search or hybrid search only when the search index lifecycle is healthy.
  • Keep STDM/parquet/session-tracing workflows out of this skill family.

1. Classify readiness for retrieve work
bash
node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json
# optional query-plane probe, only with a real table name
node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --describe-table MyDMO__dlm --json
2. Choose the smallest correct query shape
bash
sf data360 query sql -o <org> --sql 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query sqlv2 -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query async-create -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less
3. Use describe before guessing fields
bash
sf data360 query describe -o <org> --table ssot__Individual__dlm 2>/dev/null
4. Use vector or hybrid search only when an index exists
bash
sf data360 search-index list -o <org> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query vector -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Insurance_Index --query "weather damage coverage" --prefilter "Type_of_Insurance__c='Home'" --limit 10 2>/dev/null
5. Reuse curated search-index examples when creating indexes

Use the phase-owned examples instead of inventing JSON from scratch:

  • examples/search-indexes/vector-knowledge.json
  • examples/search-indexes/hybrid-structured.json

High-Signal Gotchas

  • Data Cloud SQL is not SOQL.
  • Table names should be double-quoted in SQL.
  • sqlv2 is better than ad hoc OFFSET paging for medium result sets.
  • async query is preferable for large results.
  • search-index operations and vector/hybrid queries depend on the index lifecycle being healthy.
  • Hybrid search can use --prefilter, but only on fields configured as prefilter-capable when the search index was created.
  • HNSW index parameters are typically read-only on create; leave userValues: [] unless the platform explicitly documents otherwise.
  • query describe is not a universal tenant probe; only run it with a known DMO or DLO table after broader readiness has been confirmed.

Output Format
