Salesforce Development Skills
Skills are reusable AI capabilities that teach your coding agent Salesforce-specific patterns, best practices, and workflows. Install them with one command to enhance any supported AI coding tool.
Choose Your Skills Library
Two skills libraries are available, each with a different focus. Both follow the open Agent Skills standard and work across 40+ AI coding tools.
Installation
Claude Code (Full Install)
The salesforce-development plugin is the recommended path for Claude Code. It bundles the full toolchain — skills, agents, and hooks — and includes the Agentforce ADLC lifecycle skills (agentforce-generate, agentforce-test, agentforce-observe) alongside the adlc-* agents. Requires Claude Code 2.1.222 or later.
/plugin marketplace add forcedotcom/sf-skills
/plugin install salesforce-development@salesforce
The plugin (agents + hooks) is Claude Code only. For other editors, use the skills-only path below.
All Editors (Skills Only)
Skills follow the open Agent Skills standard and install into any supported AI coding tool with npx skills add. This installs the skills only — the agents and hooks in the full plugin are Claude Code features and are not included here.
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills # includes the Agentforce ADLC skills
