What it does

Salesforce Reliability Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build Salesforce integration reliability with idempotency, bounded retries, durable state, dead letters, reconciliation, backfill, and tested recovery. Use when designing resilient systems. Trigger with "harden Salesforce reliability".

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; retry, replay, queue, failover, and data repair changes require system and data-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

  • Designing resilient systems
  • With harden Salesforce reliability

Example prompts

  • “harden Salesforce reliability”
  • “/salesforce-reliability-patterns”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; retry, replay, queue, failover, and data repair changes require system and data-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. Classify each operation as read, create, update, upsert, delete, job, publish, or consume and define its invariant and stable key.
  2. Document timeout, error, partial-result, transaction, limit, ordering, duplicate, replay, and retention semantics from current contracts.
  3. Design idempotency through external IDs, request ledgers, deduplication keys, conditional state, or invariant checks appropriate to the…
  4. Retry only classified transient failures with bounded attempts, jitter, budget, and circuit breaking; reconcile uncertain outcomes first.
  5. Persist queue, job, checkpoint, schema, and dead-letter state durably with redaction, retention, and ownership.
  6. Test token expiry, timeouts, partial writes, locks, hard limits, duplicate events, gaps, schema drift, consumer outage, and restart.
  7. Run recovery and backfill drills, compare against the source of truth, and measure recovery objectives and duplicate business effects.

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

    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; retry, replay, queue, failover, and data repair changes require system and data-owner approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce Reliability Patterns loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 428 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
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 Reliability and Recovery Patterns

Overview

Make every read, write, job, and event path safe under duplicate, delayed, partial, uncertain, throttled, and unavailable outcomes.

Prerequisites

  • Business invariants, sources of truth, operation classes, stable keys, ordering, latency, and recovery objectives
  • Current Salesforce API, event, limit, error, job-result, and transaction contracts
  • Durable queue and checkpoint stores, quarantine or dead-letter path, reconciliation, backfill, and 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 synchronous, composite, bulk, and event surfaces have different transaction, result, retry, ordering, and recovery semantics. CDC can emit gap or overflow events; no transport removes the need for idempotency and reconciliation.

Authentication

Use separate minimum-permission principals for runtime, repair, and diagnostics. Protect tokens, payloads, checkpoints, dead letters, and repair tooling from unauthorized access and logging.

Instructions

  1. Classify each operation as read, create, update, upsert, delete, job, publish, or consume and define its invariant and stable key.
  2. Document timeout, error, partial-result, transaction, limit, ordering, duplicate, replay, and retention semantics from current contracts.
  3. Design idempotency through external IDs, request ledgers, deduplication keys, conditional state, or invariant checks appropriate to the operation.
  4. Retry only classified transient failures with bounded attempts, jitter, budget, and circuit breaking; reconcile uncertain outcomes first.
  5. Persist queue, job, checkpoint, schema, and dead-letter state durably with redaction, retention, and ownership.
  6. Test token expiry, timeouts, partial writes, locks, hard limits, duplicate events, gaps, schema drift, consumer outage, and restart.
  7. Run recovery and backfill drills, compare against the source of truth, and measure recovery objectives and duplicate business effects.

Approval Boundaries

Do not replay, purge queues, skip failed records, alter checkpoints, repair data, fail over, or change retry budgets without application and data owners.

Output

Return the operation contracts, failure matrix, idempotency and retry design, durable-state schema, test results, recovery receipt, gaps, and owners.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Write timed out with unknown outcomeReconcile by stable key or request ledger before any retry.
Event gap or overflow is detectedBound the interval and use the approved source-of-truth reconciliation or backfill.
Dead-letter payload contains sensitive dataRestrict and redact the store, assess exposure, and repair producers before replay.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
integration=orders; key=erp_id; retries=transient-only; ledger=durable; dlq=encrypted; chaos=pass; recovery=42m

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.
