What it does

Salesforce Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze Salesforce authorization, permission, schema, validation, locking, limit, async-job, and event-delivery failures from evidence. Use when triaging an integration. Trigger with "diagnose a Salesforce error".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; diagnostic reads and log access require the affected org owner and data-handling policy

It sits in Sales & Support, covering CRM management and Forms and validation. It works with Salesforce. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Triaging an integration
  • With diagnose a Salesforce error

Example prompts

  • “diagnose a Salesforce error”
  • “/salesforce-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; diagnostic reads and log access require the affected org owner and data-handling policy
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Freeze the first failure timestamp, environment, release, principal, API, request or job ID, payload shape, and retry history.
  2. Confirm org status, identity, API support, resource entitlement, and whether other integrations are affected.
  3. Classify the layer: transport, OAuth, scope, CRUD or field access, sharing, schema, validation, automation, locking, limit, async job, or…
  4. Correlate the minimum Salesforce response, application trace, limits snapshot, metadata, job result, and recent change evidence.
  5. Reproduce with a synthetic or read-only request in the lowest-risk authorized org.
  6. Propose one hypothesis-specific correction and define success, stop, rollback, and no-blind-retry rules.
  7. Apply only after approval, verify the original invariant, and document prevention and monitoring changes.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • developer.salesforce.com
    • status.salesforce.com

    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

    Designed for Claude Code; diagnostic reads and log access require the affected org owner and data-handling policy

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce Common Errors loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 414 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Salesforce Integration Error Triage

Overview

Classify the failed layer, preserve request context, and test one evidence-backed hypothesis before proposing a bounded, reversible correction.

Prerequisites

  • Timestamp, environment, principal, operation, request or job ID, and redacted response
  • Expected API version, object and field contract, permissions, limits, automation, and recent changes
  • Incident, application, Salesforce platform, security, and data owners

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect approved repository and evidence files, WebFetch to re-check current first-party Salesforce documentation, and Write or Edit only for secretless plans, fixtures, configuration, and redacted receipts.

Current Contract

Salesforce exposes documented HTTP and API errors, but the same symptom can originate from OAuth, permissions, sharing, schema, validation, automation, locks, limits, asynchronous processing, or event state. Diagnose the returned evidence in org context.

Authentication

Use read-only diagnostic access with the approved principal or a separately authorized support principal. Do not collect tokens, session IDs, passwords, private keys, raw personal data, or broad debug logs.

Instructions

  1. Freeze the first failure timestamp, environment, release, principal, API, request or job ID, payload shape, and retry history.
  2. Confirm org status, identity, API support, resource entitlement, and whether other integrations are affected.
  3. Classify the layer: transport, OAuth, scope, CRUD or field access, sharing, schema, validation, automation, locking, limit, async job, or event.
  4. Correlate the minimum Salesforce response, application trace, limits snapshot, metadata, job result, and recent change evidence.
  5. Reproduce with a synthetic or read-only request in the lowest-risk authorized org.
  6. Propose one hypothesis-specific correction and define success, stop, rollback, and no-blind-retry rules.
  7. Apply only after approval, verify the original invariant, and document prevention and monitoring changes.

Approval Boundaries

Do not reset credentials, broaden permissions, disable automation, alter records, increase capacity, or replay writes as a diagnostic shortcut.

Output

Return the incident frame, classified layer, evidence timeline, ruled-out causes, root or leading cause, approved action, verification, and prevention owner.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Request ID or first failure is unavailableState the evidence gap and avoid assigning a definitive cause.
Reproduction would expose or mutate production dataUse synthetic fixtures or stop and request an approved sandbox path.
Outcome of a prior write is uncertainReconcile by stable business key before any retry.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
incident=SF-204; layer=field-permission; request=redacted; mutation=blocked-before-send; fix=permission-review; verification=pass

Resources

Next Steps

Run the workflow first in the lowest-risk authorized org and preserve its redacted receipt. Schedule a review against the next Salesforce seasonal release and the customer change calendar.
