What it does

Salesforce Known Pitfalls is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Review a Salesforce integration for fixed API versions, unsafe auth, N-plus-one queries, shared-limit blindness, stale metadata, blind retries, event gaps, and missing reconciliation. Use when preparing a release. Trigger with "audit Salesforce pitfalls".

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; remediation that changes access, queries, workloads, events, or records requires the corresponding owner approval

It sits in Sales & Support, covering CRM management and Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Preparing a release
  • With audit Salesforce pitfalls

Example prompts

  • “audit Salesforce pitfalls”
  • “/salesforce-known-pitfalls”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; remediation that changes access, queries, workloads, events, or records requires the corresponding owner 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. Inventory hard-coded API versions, login hosts, app types, OAuth flows, secrets, org aliases, direct calls, queries, writes, retries, and…
  2. Detect N-plus-one and unbounded queries, broad field selection, missing pagination, stale metadata, wrong API mode, and unmeasured…
  3. Check shared limits, concurrency, hard-quota behavior, timeout classification, partial results, uncertain-write reconciliation, and batch…
  4. Review CRUD and field access, sharing, SOQL construction, logs, exports, support bundles, production data in fixtures, and privileged…
  5. Inspect event schemas, checkpoints, duplicates, ordering, gap and overflow handling, dead letters, reconciliation, and backfill.
  6. Rank confirmed findings by exploitability, data and business impact, likelihood, detectability, and recovery cost.
  7. Remediate one boundary at a time with negative fixtures, protected canaries, rollback, and invariant reconciliation.

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; remediation that changes access, queries, workloads, events, or records requires the corresponding owner approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce Known Pitfalls loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
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 Integration Pitfall Audit

Overview

Find evidence of recurring failure patterns in code and operations, rank their real blast radius, and convert each confirmed issue into a bounded fix and regression test.

Prerequisites

  • Repository, architecture, org topology, API and event contracts, deployment history, incidents, and current owners
  • Current Salesforce API EOL, OAuth, limits, metadata, security, Bulk, Composite, CDC or Pub/Sub documentation
  • Representative fixtures, non-production org, policy gates, reconciliation queries, and change process

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

Common Salesforce defects cross application and org boundaries: unsupported versions, legacy auth, inefficient queries, shared capacity, object or field drift, automation side effects, partial writes, event gaps, and permission differences. Their exact behavior must be proven in context.

Authentication

Audit secret references and authorization boundaries without resolving live secrets. Use the real integration principal only in a protected authorized test lane, never an administrator session as proof.

Instructions

  1. Inventory hard-coded API versions, login hosts, app types, OAuth flows, secrets, org aliases, direct calls, queries, writes, retries, and event state.
  2. Detect N-plus-one and unbounded queries, broad field selection, missing pagination, stale metadata, wrong API mode, and unmeasured automation.
  3. Check shared limits, concurrency, hard-quota behavior, timeout classification, partial results, uncertain-write reconciliation, and batch idempotency.
  4. Review CRUD and field access, sharing, SOQL construction, logs, exports, support bundles, production data in fixtures, and privileged bypasses.
  5. Inspect event schemas, checkpoints, duplicates, ordering, gap and overflow handling, dead letters, reconciliation, and backfill.
  6. Rank confirmed findings by exploitability, data and business impact, likelihood, detectability, and recovery cost.
  7. Remediate one boundary at a time with negative fixtures, protected canaries, rollback, and invariant reconciliation.

Approval Boundaries

Do not resolve findings by broadening permissions, disabling automation, increasing retries, raising concurrency, resetting checkpoints, or deleting data without owners.

Output

Return the pitfall inventory, evidence and severity, false positives, prioritized fixes, tests, canary and rollback plans, reconciliation, and owners.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Finding depends on an unverified org assumptionLabel it provisional and collect the minimum protected evidence.
Suggested fix moves risk to another integrationReassess shared limits, authority, data, event, and recovery effects across the architecture.
Legacy behavior has no ownerEscalate ownership before mutation and add monitoring in the interim.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
integration=lead-sync; findings=9; critical=1-fixed; high=3-owned; fixtures=12; canary=pass; reconcile=exact

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.
