What it does

Salesforce Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Select and document a supported Salesforce authorization path using an External Client App or an approved existing Connected App. Use when onboarding or repairing API access. Trigger with "configure Salesforce authentication".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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; identity and client-app changes require Salesforce org owner and security approval

It sits in Sales & Support, covering CRM management. 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

  • Repairing API access
  • With configure Salesforce authentication

Example prompts

  • “configure Salesforce authentication”
  • “/salesforce-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; identity and client-app changes require Salesforce org owner and security approval
  • 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. Record the org, My Domain, edition, environment, workload, required resources, and accountable owners.
  2. Determine whether the org requires an External Client App or has an approved existing Connected App.
  3. Map the selected OAuth flow, scopes, policies, principal, certificate or secret custody, expiry, rotation, and revocation.
  4. Inspect the repository for password flows, unpinned login hosts, broad scopes, plaintext keys, and mixed-org aliases.
  5. Present app creation, policy, permission-set assignment, pre-authorization, and credential issuance for explicit approval.
  6. After provisioning, discover supported API versions and run the smallest documented read-only identity or resource check.
  7. Store only secret references and a redacted receipt; test revocation and recovery in a non-production org.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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

    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; identity and client-app changes require Salesforce org owner and security approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce Install Auth loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 API Authorization and Client-App Onboarding

Overview

Choose the app and OAuth model, establish least privilege, and prove read-only access without defaulting to legacy username-password automation.

Prerequisites

  • Target org, edition, domain, environment, integration purpose, and data classes
  • Identity, security, Salesforce administration, application, and support owners
  • Current org policy and first-party OAuth documentation

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 REST API supports OAuth through External Client Apps or Connected Apps. Creating Connected Apps is restricted as of Spring '26; existing Connected Apps can continue, while Salesforce recommends External Client Apps for new integrations.

Authentication

Select an OAuth flow from current Salesforce documentation for the workload and client type. Never copy browser sessions, use a human password in automation, log tokens, or assume that one flow, scope set, or login host fits every org.

Instructions

  1. Record the org, My Domain, edition, environment, workload, required resources, and accountable owners.
  2. Determine whether the org requires an External Client App or has an approved existing Connected App.
  3. Map the selected OAuth flow, scopes, policies, principal, certificate or secret custody, expiry, rotation, and revocation.
  4. Inspect the repository for password flows, unpinned login hosts, broad scopes, plaintext keys, and mixed-org aliases.
  5. Present app creation, policy, permission-set assignment, pre-authorization, and credential issuance for explicit approval.
  6. After provisioning, discover supported API versions and run the smallest documented read-only identity or resource check.
  7. Store only secret references and a redacted receipt; test revocation and recovery in a non-production org.

Approval Boundaries

Do not create or alter a client app, grant scopes, assign permissions, issue credentials, or test production writes without the named org and security owners.

Output

Return the app-type decision, OAuth contract, access matrix, secret references, read-only verification, rotation and revocation owners, and unresolved policy questions.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
New Connected App creation is unavailableUse the org-approved External Client App path or obtain Salesforce Support guidance; do not bypass the restriction.
Authorization succeeds but a resource is deniedCompare scopes, permission sets, CRUD, field access, sharing, edition, and API entitlement independently.
Current OAuth contract is unknownStop before provisioning and obtain current org-specific documentation.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
org=sandbox; app=external-client-app; flow=org-approved; scopes=least-privilege; probe=read-only-pass; secrets=referenced

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.
