+ # Agentforce Development Skill
2
+
3
+ A Claude Code skill for building, modifying, debugging, and deploying Agentforce agents using Agent Script — Salesforce's scripting language for next-generation AI agents on the Atlas Reasoning Engine.
4
+
5
+ ## What This Skill Does
6
+
7
+ Agent Script was introduced in 2025 with zero training data in any AI model. This skill bridges that gap by providing structured reference material, design patterns, CLI workflows, and debugging guidance so that AI coding assistants can work with Agent Script accurately.
8
+
9
+ The skill covers the full Agent Script lifecycle:
10
+
11
+ | Domain | What It Handles |
12
+ |--------|----------------|
13
+ | Create an Agent | Agent Spec design, environment validation, bundle generation, code authoring |
14
+ | Modify an Agent | Topic/action changes, instruction refinement, flow control updates |
15
+ | Create or Modify Backing Logic | Invocable Apex stubs, Flow wrappers, Prompt Templates |
16
+ | Deploy and Publish | Source deploy, agent activation, publishing to channels |
17
+ | Diagnose Compilation Errors | Compiler error interpretation, syntax fixes, metadata resolution |
18
+ | Diagnose Behavioral Issues | Trace-based debugging, topic routing, action I/O analysis |
19
+ | Diagnose Production Issues | Runtime failures, reserved keyword conflicts, deployment gotchas |
20
+ | Test an Agent | Utterance-based validation, preview with live actions, trace analysis |
21
+ | Generate Diagrams | Topic map visualizations, agent architecture diagrams |
22
+

54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ ## How It Works
57
+
58
+ SKILL.md acts as a router. It detects user intent from task descriptions, maps to a task domain, and instructs the AI assistant to read the relevant reference files before starting work. Reference files are loaded on demand — the assistant only reads what the current task requires.
59
+
60
+ Three rules apply across all domains:
61
+
62
+ 1. **Always `--json`** on every `sf` CLI command
63
+ 2. **Diagnose before you fix** — preview with live actions and read traces before modifying code
64
+ 3. **Spec approval is a hard gate** — never proceed past Agent Spec creation without user approval
65
+
66
+ ## Prerequisites
67
+
68
+ - Salesforce org with Agentforce license
69
+ - API version 66.0+ (Spring '26)
70
+ - Einstein Agent User (for service agents)
71
+ - Salesforce CLI v2.x (`sf` command)
72
+ - Claude Code (or compatible AI coding agent)
73
+
74
+ ## Installation
75
+
76
+ Copy the `developing-agentforce` folder into your project's `.claude/skills/` directory:
77
+
78
+ ```
79
+ your-project/
80
+ └── .claude/

82
+ └── developing-agentforce/
83
+ ├── SKILL.md
84
+ ├── references/
85
+ └── assets/
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ Restart Claude Code after installation.

  `WITH USER_MODE` + missing object permissions = silent failure (0 rows, no error). See [Agent User Setup & Permissions](references/agent-user-setup.md), Section 6.2.
451
+
452
+ ## Syntax Quick Reference
453
+
454
+ - Block order: `system:` → `config:` → `variables:` → `connection:` → `knowledge:` → `language:` → `start_agent topic_selector:` → `topic:` blocks
455
+ - Indentation: **4 spaces** per indent level. Never use tabs. Mixing spaces and tabs breaks the parser.
456
+ - Booleans: `True`/`False` (capitalized)
457
+ - Strings: always double-quoted
458
+ - Numeric action I/O: bare `number` works for variables but **fails at publish** in action I/O. Use `object` + `complex_data_type_name` for numeric action parameters. See [Complex Data Types](references/complex-data-types.md) for the full decision tree.
459
+ - `after_reasoning:` has NO `instructions:` wrapper
460
+ - No `else if` — use compound `if x and y:` or sequential flat ifs
461
+ - Reserved `@InvocableVariable` names: `model`, `description`, `label` — cannot be used as Apex parameter names
462
+ - `@inputs` and `@outputs` are ephemeral: `@inputs` only in `with`; `@outputs` only in `set`/`if` immediately after the action. `@inputs` in `set` = silent failure.
463
+
464
+ See [Complex Data Types](references/complex-data-types.md) for the full Lightning type mapping decision tree. See [Instruction Resolution](references/instruction-resolution.md) for the 3-phase runtime model.
465
+
466
+ ## Architecture Patterns
467
+
468
+ Three primary FSM patterns. Full details with code in [Architecture Patterns](references/architecture-patterns.md).
469
+
470
+ - **Hub-and-Spoke** (most common): `start_agent` routes to specialized topics. Each topic has "back to hub" transition. Do NOT create a separate routing topic.
471
+ - **Verification Gate**: Identity verification before protected topics. `available when` guards on protected transitions.
472
+ - **Post-Action Loop**: Post-action checks at TOP of `instructions: ->` trigger on re-resolution after action completes.
473
+
474
+ ## Scoring Rubric
475
+
476
+ Score every generated agent on 100 points across 7 categories: Structure (15), Safety (15), Deterministic Logic (20), Instruction Resolution (20), FSM Architecture (10), Action Configuration (10), Deployment Readiness (10).
477
+
478
+ See [Scoring Rubric](references/scoring-rubric.md) for the complete rubric.
479
+
480
+ ## Review Mode
481
+
482
+ When user provides an existing `.agent` file (e.g., `review path/to/file.agent`):
483
+
484
+ 1. Read the file
485
+ 2. Score against the 100-point rubric
486
+ 3. List every issue grouped by category
487
+ 4. Provide corrected code snippets
488
+ 5. Offer to apply fixes
489
+
490
+ ## Safety Review
491
+
492
+ 7-category LLM-driven safety review for `.agent` files. Integrated into Phase 0 of authoring and deployment. Categories: Identity & Transparency, User Safety, Data Handling, Content Safety, Fairness, Deception, Scope & Boundaries.
493
+
494
+ See [Safety Review](references/safety-review-reference.md) for the complete framework, severity levels, false positive guidance, and adversarial test prompts.
495
+
496
+ ## Discover & Scaffold
497
+
498
+ Validate action targets exist in org and generate stubs for missing ones.
499
+
500
+ See [Discover Reference](references/discover-reference.md) and [Scaffold Reference](references/scaffold-reference.md).
501
+
502
+ **CRITICAL:** Stubs must return realistic data, not `'TODO'`. Placeholder responses cause SMALL_TALK grounding because the LLM falls back to training data.
503
+
504
+ ## Deploy Lifecycle
505
+
506
+ Validate → deploy metadata → publish bundle → activate. See [Deploy Reference](references/deploy-reference.md) for phases, error recovery, CI/CD, and rollback.

+ ## Template Assets
509
+

+ Ready-to-use `.agent` templates in `assets/agents/` (hello-world, simple-qa, multi-topic, production-faq, order-service, verification-gate). See also `assets/patterns/` for 11+ reusable design patterns and [Examples](references/examples.md) for inline walkthroughs.
