Salesforce devops — SfSkills domain router
Salesforce delivery: source tracking, packaging, branching, CI/CD pipelines, environment strategy and deployment troubleshooting.
70 skill packages live under
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/<slug>/SKILL.md. They are not
loaded — reach them by path, on demand.
Generated by scripts/build_plugin.py. Do not hand-edit.
How to find the right skill
Three mechanisms, listed in order of reliability on a fresh install.
Use the first one that is available; do not stop at a guess.
1. The shipped roster (always works, no setup).
Read references/skill-index.md next to this file. It lists every
devops skill package with a one-line gloss, generated from
registry/skills.json. Scan it and pick by name.
2. The MCP server (fast, needs the sfskills-mcp server connected).
Call the search_skill tool with the user's phrasing and domain: "devops". It returns
ranked skill ids. get_skill then returns the package contents.
3. The search CLI (fast, needs a locally built index).
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/search_knowledge.py" "<the user's question>" --domain devops --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 70.
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/salesforce-dx-project-structure/SKILL.md — project layout, sfdx-project.json, and package directories
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/environment-strategy/SKILL.md — sandbox tiers, scratch orgs, and what each environment is allowed to prove
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/git-branching-for-salesforce/SKILL.md — a branching model that survives metadata merge conflicts
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/release-management/SKILL.md — release trains, cutover windows, and change control
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/pre-deployment-checklist/SKILL.md — the go/no-go gate before a production deploy
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/deployment-error-diagnosis/SKILL.md — decoding the deploy failures that do not say what is wrong
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/unlocked-package-development/SKILL.md — packaging as the modularisation strategy, with dependency ordering
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devops/github-actions-for-salesforce/SKILL.md — a working CI pipeline: auth, validate, test, deploy
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 — no devops-specific tree exists yet; the Flow-vs-Apex choice drives deployment ordering and packaging boundaries
Run-time agents for this domain
Invoke one of these subagents when the ask is a whole workflow
rather than a single question:
build-step-runner — Execute one step of a build plan
changeset-builder — Build or validate a deployment Change Set manifest
deployment-failure-triager — Diagnose an existing Salesforce deploy failure
deployment-risk-scorer — Risk-score a change set before deploy
milestone-verifier — Cross-step verification + acceptance report for one milestone
multi-org-drift-analyzer — Multi-Org Drift Analysis
release-readiness-reviewer — Release Readiness Review
release-train-planner — Plan or audit a Salesforce release train
sandbox-strategy-designer — Design or audit sandbox + scratch-org strategy
step-tester — Run the molecular tests for one built step
Rules
- Answer from the opened
devops package, never from this router.
- Cite the skill id and, where one applied, the decision-tree branch.
- Never claim a topic is uncovered without pasting lookup output.
- Never deploy to an org.
