What it does

Salesforce Reference Architecture is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Design a governed Salesforce integration architecture with explicit authority, identity, API, event, data, evidence, limit, and recovery boundaries. Use when conducting architecture reviews. Trigger with "design Salesforce architecture".

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; architecture and production trust-boundary decisions require enterprise, security, data, and Salesforce platform 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

  • Conducting architecture reviews
  • With design Salesforce architecture

Example prompts

  • “design Salesforce architecture”
  • “/salesforce-reference-architecture”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; architecture and production trust-boundary decisions require enterprise, security, data, and Salesforce platform 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. Map systems, trust zones, sources of truth, record and event ownership, consumers, data classes, and business invariants.
  2. Inventory orgs, products, editions, packages, schemas, API versions, events, limits, identities, and operational dependencies.
  3. Select interaction patterns per use case: synchronous request, asynchronous bulk, composite, event, scheduled reconciliation, or…
  4. Define contracts for schema, versioning, idempotency, ordering, pagination, checkpoints, retries, dead letters, and backfills.
  5. Design CRUD and field access, sharing, encryption, retention, audit, residency, redaction, support, and separation of duties.
  6. Model outages, limit exhaustion, partial writes, event gaps, schema drift, wrong-org access, and disaster recovery.
  7. Validate with threat, failure, capacity, cost, operability, migration, and rollback reviews and record rejected alternatives.

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; architecture and production trust-boundary decisions require enterprise, security, data, and Salesforce platform approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce Reference Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
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.

Governed Salesforce Integration Reference Architecture

Overview

Create an evidence-backed target architecture that names every source of truth, mutation path, principal, data class, failure boundary, and recovery mechanism.

Prerequisites

  • Business capabilities, system context, sources of truth, data owners, consumers, service objectives, and constraints
  • Org topology, Salesforce products, External Client Apps or existing Connected Apps, APIs, events, limits, and entitlements
  • Security, privacy, residency, retention, reconciliation, disaster recovery, support, and change-control requirements

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 provides multiple synchronous, asynchronous, bulk, composite, and event integration surfaces with org-specific availability and limits. No single direct API, middleware, replicated database, or event pattern is correct for every domain.

Authentication

Model human, integration, deployment, diagnostic, and break-glass principals separately. Bind each to an approved app, OAuth flow, minimum permissions, secret custody, rotation, revocation, and audit path.

Instructions

  1. Map systems, trust zones, sources of truth, record and event ownership, consumers, data classes, and business invariants.
  2. Inventory orgs, products, editions, packages, schemas, API versions, events, limits, identities, and operational dependencies.
  3. Select interaction patterns per use case: synchronous request, asynchronous bulk, composite, event, scheduled reconciliation, or replicated read model.
  4. Define contracts for schema, versioning, idempotency, ordering, pagination, checkpoints, retries, dead letters, and backfills.
  5. Design CRUD and field access, sharing, encryption, retention, audit, residency, redaction, support, and separation of duties.
  6. Model outages, limit exhaustion, partial writes, event gaps, schema drift, wrong-org access, and disaster recovery.
  7. Validate with threat, failure, capacity, cost, operability, migration, and rollback reviews and record rejected alternatives.

Approval Boundaries

Do not establish new trust, data movement, system authority, production mutation, or vendor dependency without architecture, security, data, and business approval.

Output

Return context and container views, authority matrix, trust and data-flow boundaries, contracts, failure scenarios, capacity and cost assumptions, decisions, risks, and migration plan.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Two systems claim authority for the same fieldResolve ownership and conflict policy before implementation.
Recovery depends only on replay availabilityAdd durable reconciliation and backfill from the source of truth.
Entitlement or limit assumption is unverifiedMark the design provisional and obtain current org evidence.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
domain=orders; authority=erp; salesforce=crm-projection; writes=governed; events=cdc; reconcile=daily; recovery=tested

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.
