Agentforce Development Skill

A skill for developing Agentforce agents with Agent Script.

What This Skill Covers

The skill routes agent work across the full lifecycle:

Domain	What It Handles
Create an Agent	Agent Spec design, environment checks, bundle generation, draft authoring
Modify an Agent	Subagent/action changes, instruction refinement, flow updates
Diagnose Compilation Errors	Error capture, classification, targeted fixes
Diagnose Behavioral Issues	Trace-based debugging, routing/action analysis
Deploy / Release	Draft iteration, deploy, explicit publish + activate
Test an Agent	Coverage design, spec creation, run analysis

How It Works

SKILL.md acts as the router. It maps user intent to task domains and required references, then enforces hard rules for safe execution.

Core rules include:

1. Always --json on every sf CLI command
2. Diagnose before you fix — preview with live actions and read traces before modifying code
3. Spec approval is a hard gate — never proceed past Agent Spec creation without user approval
4. Draft-first lifecycle — iterate in draft by default; publish/activate only with explicit user confirmation

Prerequisites

• Salesforce org with Agentforce license
• API version 66.0+ (Spring '26)
• Einstein Agent User (for service agents)
• Salesforce CLI v2.x (sf command)
• Claude Code (or compatible AI coding agent)

Installation

Copy the agentforce-generate folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory:

your-project/
└── .claude/
    └── skills/
        └── agentforce-generate/
            ├── SKILL.md
            ├── references/
            └── assets/

Restart Claude Code after installation.
