Salesforce admin — SfSkills domain router

Declarative Salesforce configuration: objects, fields, record types, page layouts, permission sets, reports, the record-access model (OWD, role hierarchy, sharing rules), and the requirements work that precedes them.

261 skill packages live under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/<slug>/SKILL.md. They are not loaded — reach them by path, on demand.

Generated by scripts/build_plugin.py. Do not hand-edit.

How to find the right skill

Three mechanisms, listed in order of reliability on a fresh install. Use the first one that is available; do not stop at a guess.

1. The shipped roster (always works, no setup). Read references/skill-index.md next to this file. It lists every admin skill package with a one-line gloss, generated from registry/skills.json. Scan it and pick by name.

2. The MCP server (fast, needs the sfskills-mcp server connected). Call the search_skill tool with the user's phrasing and domain: "admin". It returns ranked skill ids. get_skill then returns the package contents.

3. The search CLI (fast, needs a locally built index).

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/search_knowledge.py" "<the user's question>" --domain admin --json

This needs vector_index/, which is not shipped — it is gitignored and must be built once per clone:

cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}" && python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt && python3 scripts/build_index.py

If the command errors or reports Coverage: NONE, fall back to mechanism 1 rather than telling the user the topic is uncovered.

Then read the package. Open the exact ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/<domain>/<slug>/SKILL.md the lookup returned, plus its references/gotchas.md and references/llm-anti-patterns.md. Do not answer from this router: it is a map, not the territory.

Featured entry points

Curated starting points when the request is broad or the lookup is ambiguous. This is a shortlist, not the catalogue — the roster at references/skill-index.md has all 261.

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/object-creation-and-design/SKILL.md — start here for any new sObject — naming, relationships, and the fields you will regret later
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/custom-field-creation/SKILL.md — field types, FLS, and the ones that cannot be changed after data lands
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/validation-rules/SKILL.md — declarative enforcement, and where a validation rule fights automation
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/record-types-and-page-layouts/SKILL.md — record type strategy before it multiplies out of control
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/permission-set-architecture/SKILL.md — the permission-set-first access model that replaces profiles
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/user-management/SKILL.md — user lifecycle, licences, freeze vs deactivate, and integration users
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/duplicate-management/SKILL.md — matching rules and duplicate rules, including the person-account edge cases
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/admin/reports-and-dashboards-fundamentals/SKILL.md — report types, folder sharing, and why a report returns the wrong rows

Decision trees

Read the tree before activating a skill when the request could be solved more than one way, and cite the branch that decided it.

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/standards/decision-trees/automation-selection.md — read before choosing a declarative automation over Apex
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/standards/decision-trees/sharing-selection.md — read before designing an object's access model

Canonical templates

Do not hand-roll an idiom that already exists. Copy from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/admin/ and rename in the consuming project; never edit the template in place.

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/admin/naming-conventions.md
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/admin/permission-set-patterns.md
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/admin/validation-rule-patterns.md
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/admin/README.md — the full list

Rules

1. Answer from the opened admin package, never from this router.
2. Cite the skill id and, where one applied, the decision-tree branch.
3. Never claim a topic is uncovered without pasting lookup output.
4. Never deploy to an org.
