Use when improving a Salesforce, Apex, or LWC prompt. Analyze intent and gaps, match SCC skills/agents, output a ready-to-paste optimized prompt. Advisory only.
Prompt Optimizer
Analyze a draft prompt, critique it, match it to SCC ecosystem components,
and output a complete optimized prompt the user can paste and run.
When to Use
User says "optimize this prompt", "improve my prompt", "rewrite this prompt"
User says "help me write a better prompt for..."
User says "what's the best way to ask Claude Code to..."
User pastes a draft prompt and asks for feedback or enhancement
User says "I don't know how to prompt for this"
User says "how should I use SCC for..."
User explicitly invokes /prompt-optimizer
Do Not Use When
User wants the task done directly (just execute it)
User says "optimize this code", "optimize performance" — these are refactoring tasks, not prompt optimization
User is asking about SCC configuration (use configure-scc instead)
User wants a skill inventory (use /sf-harness-audit skill instead)
User says "just do it"
How It Works
Advisory only — do not execute the user's task.
Do NOT write code, create files, run commands, or take any implementation
action. Your ONLY output is an analysis plus an optimized prompt.
If the user says "just do it" or "don't optimize, just execute",
do not switch into implementation mode inside this skill. Tell the user this
skill only produces optimized prompts, and instruct them to make a normal
task request if they want execution instead.
Run this 6-phase pipeline sequentially. Present results using the Output Format below.
Analysis Pipeline
Phase 0: Project Detection
Before analyzing the prompt, detect the current project context:
Check if a CLAUDE.md exists in the working directory — read it for project conventions
Note detected tech stack for use in Phase 3 and Phase 4
If no project files are found (e.g., the prompt is abstract or for a new project),
skip detection and flag "tech stack unknown" in Phase 4.
Phase 1: Intent Detection
Classify the user's task into one or more categories:
Category
Signal Words
Example
New Feature
build, create, add, implement
"Build a lead scoring trigger"
Bug Fix
fix, broken, not working, error
"Fix the trigger recursion"
Refactor
refactor, clean up, restructure
"Refactor to trigger framework"
Research
how to, what is, explore, investigate
"How to add Platform Events"
Testing
test, coverage, verify
"Add tests for AccountService"
Review
review, audit, check
"Review my Apex trigger"
Documentation
document, update docs
"Update the API docs"
Infrastructure
deploy, CI, scratch org, DevOps
"Set up CI/CD with scratch orgs"
Design
design, architecture, plan
"Design the data model"
Phase 2: Scope Assessment
If Phase 0 detected a project, use codebase size as a signal. Otherwise, estimate
from the prompt description alone and mark the estimate as uncertain.
Scope
Heuristic
Orchestration
TRIVIAL
Single file, < 50 lines
Direct execution
LOW
Single component or module
Single command or skill
MEDIUM
Multiple components, same domain
Command chain + sf-review-agent agent
HIGH
Cross-domain, 5+ files
Use sf-architect agent first, then phased execution
EPIC
Multi-session, multi-PR, architectural shift
Use sf-architect agent for multi-session plan
Phase 3: SCC Component Matching
Map intent + scope + tech stack (from Phase 0) to specific SCC components.
Database changes — Schema, migrations, indexes? (if data layer)
Existing patterns — Reference files or conventions to follow?
Scope boundaries — What NOT to do?
If 3+ critical items are missing, ask the user up to 3 clarification
questions before generating the optimized prompt. Then incorporate the
answers into the optimized prompt.
Phase 5: Workflow & Model Recommendation
Determine where this prompt sits in the development lifecycle:
Research → Plan → Implement (TDD) → Review → Verify → Commit
For MEDIUM+ tasks, always start with the sf-architect agent. For EPIC tasks, use the sf-architect agent.
Model recommendation (include in output):
Scope
Recommended Model
Rationale
TRIVIAL-LOW
Sonnet
Fast, cost-efficient for simple tasks
MEDIUM
Sonnet
Best coding model for standard work
HIGH
Sonnet (main) + Opus (planning)
Opus for architecture, Sonnet for implementation
EPIC
Opus (sf-architect) + Sonnet (execution)
Deep reasoning for multi-session planning
Multi-prompt splitting (for HIGH/EPIC scope):
For tasks that exceed a single session, split into sequential prompts:
Prompt 1: Research + Plan (use search-first skill, then sf-architect agent)
Prompt 2-N: Implement one phase per prompt (each ends with sf-review-agent agent)
Final Prompt: Integration test + sf-apex-best-practices across all phases
Use /save-session and /resume-session to preserve context between sessions

Section 3: Optimized Prompt — Full Version
Present the complete optimized prompt inside a single fenced code block.
The prompt must be self-contained and ready to copy-paste. Include:
Clear task description with context
Tech stack (detected or specified)
/command invocations at the right workflow stages
Acceptance criteria
Verification steps
Scope boundaries (what NOT to do)
For items that reference blueprint, write: "Use the sf-architect agent to..."
(not sf-architect agent, since sf-architect is an agent, not a command).
Section 4: Optimized Prompt — Quick Version
A compact version for experienced SCC users. Vary by intent type:
Intent
Quick Pattern
New Feature
Use sf-architect agent for [feature]. sf-tdd-workflow to implement. sf-apex-best-practices. Use sf-review-agent agent.
Bug Fix
sf-tdd-workflow — write failing test for [bug]. Fix to green. Use sf-review-agent agent.
Refactor
/refactor-clean [scope]. sf-apex-best-practices. Use sf-review-agent agent.
Research
Use search-first skill for [topic]. Use sf-architect agent based on findings.
Testing
sf-tdd-workflow [class]. sf-e2e-testing for critical flows. sf-apex-testing.
Review
sf-apex-best-practices. Then use sf-review-agent agent.
Docs
/update-docs. Use deep-researcher agent.
EPIC
Use sf-architect agent for "[objective]". Execute phases with sf-review-agent agent gates.

Examples
Trigger Examples
"Optimize this prompt for SCC"
"Rewrite this prompt so Claude Code uses the right commands"
"How should I prompt SCC for this task?"
Example 1: Vague Salesforce Prompt (Project Detected)
User input:
Help me write an Account trigger
Phase 0 detects:sfdx-project.json → Salesforce project; package.json with Jest
Optimized Prompt (Full):
Implement an Account trigger using the project's existing Trigger Framework pattern.
Technical requirements:
- Follow the project's existing trigger handler architecture (check for TriggerHandler base class or similar framework)
- Implement bulkification — all SOQL queries and DML operations must be outside loops
- Add appropriate error handling and custom exception classes
- Follow Salesforce governor limits best practices
Workflow:
1. Use sf-architect agent to plan trigger handler structure and business logic
2. sf-tdd-workflow — write failing test class first (use @TestSetup and test data factory)
3. Implement AccountTrigger and AccountTriggerHandler
4. sf-apex-best-practices to review implementation
5. Use sf-review-agent agent to verify all tests pass and coverage reaches 75%+
Security requirements:
- Use WITH USER_MODE for SOQL queries
- Verify CRUD/FLS permissions
Acceptance criteria:
- Test coverage 85%+
- Zero governor limit violations
- Passes sf-security review
Example 2: Moderate English Prompt
User input:
Add a REST API endpoint for account creation with validation
Add a REST API endpoint for account creation (POST /api/accounts).
Tech stack: Salesforce Apex REST (detected from sfdx-project.json)
Requirements:
- @RestResource(urlMapping='/api/accounts')
- Input validation: Name (required), Industry, BillingCountry
- Auth: Connected App OAuth — caller must have Account create permission
- Return 201 with created Account Id on success
- Return 400 with validation errors on invalid input
- Return 403 for insufficient permissions
Workflow:
1. Use sf-architect agent for the endpoint structure, validation logic, and error response envelope
2. sf-tdd-workflow — write tests for success, validation failure, permission failure
3. Implement AccountAPI class following existing REST patterns
4. sf-security — verify CRUD/FLS enforcement
5. sf-apex-best-practices
6. Use sf-review-agent agent — run full test suite, confirm no regressions
Do not:
- Modify existing Account fields or validation rules
- Add new custom fields without a separate plan step
Example 3: EPIC Project
User input:
Migrate our legacy Apex triggers to a trigger framework
Optimized Prompt (Full):
Use the sf-architect agent to plan: "Migrate all legacy Apex triggers to trigger framework"
Before executing, answer these questions in the blueprint:
1. Which trigger framework is preferred (custom TriggerHandler, Apex Commons, or other)?
2. How many triggers exist and which objects are highest priority?
3. Are there existing test classes that need to be preserved?
4. What is the deployment strategy (all at once vs object-by-object)?
The blueprint should produce phases like:
- Phase 1: Audit all existing triggers and document business logic
- Phase 2: Implement TriggerHandler base class and factory
- Phase 3: Migrate highest-priority object triggers with sf-tdd-workflow gates
- Phase 4: Migrate remaining triggers
- Phase N: Remove legacy trigger code, run full regression
Each phase = 1 deployment unit, with sf-review-agent agent gates between phases.
Use /save-session between phases. Use /resume-session to continue.
Recommended: Opus for blueprint planning, Sonnet for phase execution.
