Salesforce lwc — SfSkills domain router

Lightning Web Components: reactivity, wire adapters, component communication, accessibility, performance, security and Jest testing.

83 skill packages live under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/<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 lwc 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: "lwc". 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 lwc --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 83.

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/component-communication/SKILL.md — parent/child, events, and when to reach for Lightning Message Service
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/wire-service-patterns/SKILL.md — @wire, reactive parameters, and refreshing cached data
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lifecycle-hooks/SKILL.md — connected/rendered/disconnected and the work that belongs in each
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lwc-performance/SKILL.md — render cost, wasted reactivity, and the LWC side of a slow page
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lwc-security/SKILL.md — Lightning Web Security, sanitisation, and safe use of API data
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lwc-accessibility/SKILL.md — keyboard, focus and screen-reader behaviour as acceptance criteria
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lwc-testing/SKILL.md — Jest setup, mocking wire adapters, and asserting rendered output
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/lwc/lwc-error-boundaries/SKILL.md — containing a component failure instead of blanking the page

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/performance-tuning.md — the LWC render branch, for any "the page is slow" report

Canonical templates

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

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/lwc/jest.config.js
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/lwc/component-skeleton
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/lwc/patterns
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/lwc/README.md — the full list

Run-time agents for this domain

Invoke one of these subagents when the ask is a whole workflow rather than a single question:

• lwc-auditor — Accessibility + performance + security audit of an LWC bundle
• lwc-builder — Generate a Lightning Web Component bundle
• lwc-debugger — Diagnose a live LWC failure

Rules

1. Answer from the opened lwc 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.
