What it does

Salesforce SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a version-negotiated Salesforce adapter around the customer-selected CLI or client library with typed boundaries and contract tests. Use when standardizing application access. Trigger with "design a Salesforce adapter".

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; dependency changes and live API probes require application owner and Salesforce admin 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

  • Standardizing application access
  • With design a Salesforce adapter

Example prompts

  • “design a Salesforce adapter”
  • “/salesforce-sdk-patterns”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; dependency changes and live API probes require application owner and Salesforce admin 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 direct Salesforce calls, library versions, API versions, objects, fields, mutations, retries, and error handling.
  2. Define a narrow adapter interface for identity, metadata discovery, reads, bounded writes, async jobs, and limits.
  3. Bind types to dated object metadata or a governed schema snapshot and label nullable, encrypted, formula, and inaccessible fields.
  4. Centralize pagination, request IDs, timeouts, idempotency keys or external IDs, error normalization, and redaction.
  5. Add contract fixtures for success, partial failure, token expiry, permission denial, schema drift, limits, and timeouts.
  6. Test the adapter without a live org, then run approved read-only and sandbox mutation probes.
  7. Migrate callers incrementally and retain a reversible compatibility boundary until evidence is complete.

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; dependency changes and live API probes require application owner and Salesforce admin approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Salesforce SDK Patterns loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
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 Typed Adapter and Client-Library Boundary

Overview

Contain library churn and org-specific schema behind a small adapter whose types, API version, permissions, retries, and evidence are explicit.

Prerequisites

  • Repository, runtime, supported environments, and selected Salesforce library or CLI
  • Current dependency lock, org schema evidence, API support policy, and error samples
  • 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 publishes versioned API contracts, while third-party client libraries have independent release and support policies. Object and field shapes remain customer-specific, so generated or handwritten types must be tied to dated metadata evidence.

Authentication

Accept an authenticated client or secret reference from the approved authorization layer. The adapter must not invent a password fallback, persist tokens, broaden scopes, or choose a production org implicitly.

Instructions

  1. Inventory direct Salesforce calls, library versions, API versions, objects, fields, mutations, retries, and error handling.
  2. Define a narrow adapter interface for identity, metadata discovery, reads, bounded writes, async jobs, and limits.
  3. Bind types to dated object metadata or a governed schema snapshot and label nullable, encrypted, formula, and inaccessible fields.
  4. Centralize pagination, request IDs, timeouts, idempotency keys or external IDs, error normalization, and redaction.
  5. Add contract fixtures for success, partial failure, token expiry, permission denial, schema drift, limits, and timeouts.
  6. Test the adapter without a live org, then run approved read-only and sandbox mutation probes.
  7. Migrate callers incrementally and retain a reversible compatibility boundary until evidence is complete.

Approval Boundaries

Do not upgrade dependencies, change API versions, regenerate broad schemas, or perform live writes without code owner, platform owner, and data owner approval.

Output

Return the adapter contract, dependency and API matrix, schema provenance, fixture coverage, migration plan, live probe receipt, and rollback boundary.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Library behavior differs from Salesforce documentationPin the discrepancy, reproduce at the raw API boundary, and escalate upstream before broad rollout.
Schema snapshot is staleBlock generated-type use until metadata is refreshed and reviewed.
Caller bypasses the adapterFail the policy check or document a time-bounded exception with an owner.

Example

A redacted completion receipt might look like this:

text
adapter=SalesforceGateway; api=discovered-supported; schema=dated; fixtures=8; sandbox-write=approved-pass; bypasses=0

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.
