platform-docs-get

What it is

platform-docs-get is a prompt-only skill.

It gives a practical retrieval playbook for official Salesforce docs on the public web, especially when:

• developer.salesforce.com pages are JS-heavy
• help.salesforce.com pages return shell content
• architect.salesforce.com / admin.salesforce.com pages need browser-rendered extraction
• lightningdesignsystem.com pages contain official SLDS guidance
• the real answer is on a child page, not the guide homepage

What it is not

This skill does not include:

• local corpus workflows
• indexing
• benchmark workflows
• any required helper CLI dependency
• PDF fallback guidance

Use it for

• official Salesforce docs lookup
• hard-to-fetch Help articles
• Apex / API / LWC / Agentforce documentation grounding
• deciding when to follow child links from broad official guide pages
• rejecting weak results such as shells, landing pages, and third-party summaries

Optional utility

A tiny wrapper is available for official Salesforce doc URLs:

python3 skills/platform-docs-get/scripts/extract_salesforce_doc.py \
  --url "https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.miaw_security.htm&type=5" \
  --pretty

Behavior:

• automatically routes help.salesforce.com URLs into the dedicated Help extractor
• supports official Salesforce-owned doc hosts such as developer.salesforce.com, architect.salesforce.com, admin.salesforce.com, lightningdesignsystem.com, and other official Salesforce documentation pages
• supports optional best-effort stealth mode via --stealth

Dependencies for the helper scripts live in:

• skills/platform-docs-get/requirements.txt

The installer sets up an isolated runtime under ~/.claude/.platform-docs-get-runtime, installs those Python packages there, and installs the Playwright Chromium browser automatically during install/update.

The underlying Help extractor is also available directly at:

python3 skills/platform-docs-get/scripts/extract_help_salesforce.py \
  --url "https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.miaw_security.htm&type=5" \
  --pretty

Key idea

Keep retrieval:

• official-source-first
• HTML-only
• targeted
• child-link aware
• strict about exact concept matching
