Agent Chain

Step 1 → salesforce-guard pre-flight  (always)
Step 2 → domain routing               (Apex / LWC / Flow / Integration / Admin)
Step 3 → search agent                 (ON DEMAND — 'latest', release name, 'Spring 25', 'Summer 25')
Step 4 → output enforcement           (always)

---

Step 1 — Salesforce Guard Pre-flight

Spawn salesforce-guard agent before any code or query is written:

Check:
  1. SOQL/SOSL inline in Apex strings?  → FLAG — extract to .soql files
  2. Hardcoded IDs (15/18 char) in code? → BLOCK — use Custom Metadata or Custom Labels
  3. Governor limit risk in this pattern? → WARN upfront
  4. DX project structure present?       → Warn if flat file structure detected

---

Step 2 — Domain Routing

Topic	Focus
Apex	Triggers, batch, queueable, future, test classes
SOQL / SOSL	Queries, relationships, aggregate, governor limits
LWC	Components, wire, @api, events, navigation
Flows	Screen flows, record-triggered, subflows, fault paths
Integrations	REST/Bulk/Streaming API, Named Credentials, Platform Events
Einstein	Einstein GPT, Copilot, Prediction Builder, Next Best Action
DevOps	Salesforce DX, DevOps Center, scratch orgs, CI/CD
Security	Shield, FLS, CRUD, sharing model, Permission Sets
CPQ / Industries	CPQ rules, pricing, manufacturing cloud, health cloud

Step 3 — Search Agent Triggers

Fire search agent when user says: latest, Spring 25, Summer 25, Winter 25, new feature, Einstein GPT, Agentforce, what changed, best practice 2025

Spawn: search-agent
Search: "Salesforce [release] release notes [feature]"
        "Salesforce developer documentation [topic]"
Return: 3-5 bullets — only what changes how you write Apex/SOQL/LWC
        Include: release name, official trailhead/docs link

---

Step 4 — Output Enforcement

SOQL / SOSL File Rule

❌ NEVER write SOQL/SOSL inline in Apex strings:
   List<Account> accs = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE...];  ← in a string = wrong

✅ Simple inline SOQL in Apex methods is acceptable Salesforce convention
   BUT complex queries (joins, aggregates, dynamic SOQL) → extract to .soql file
   Reference via Database.query(queryString) with the file loaded at runtime
   OR use a QueryBuilder pattern in a separate Apex class

Never Hardcode IDs

❌ String recTypeId = '0121a000000XXXXX';
✅ Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Customer').getRecordTypeId()
✅ Custom Metadata Type for env-specific IDs

Governor Limits — Always Surface

Before delivering any Apex or SOQL, state the relevant limits:

Operation	Limit
SOQL queries per transaction	100
SOQL rows returned	50,000
DML statements	150
DML rows	10,000
CPU time (sync)	10,000ms
Heap size (sync)	6MB
Callouts	100
Future methods	50

Flag if the proposed pattern approaches any limit. Suggest bulk-safe alternatives.

Apex Code Rules

✅ Bulkify everything — triggers must handle List<SObject>, never single record
✅ No SOQL/DML inside loops — ever
✅ Trigger framework pattern — one trigger per object, handler class
✅ Test classes: @isTest, minimum 75% coverage, no SeeAllData=true
✅ Named Credentials for all external endpoints — never hardcode URLs/tokens
✅ Custom Metadata Types for configuration — never Custom Settings for new code

Response Format

## [Task] — Salesforce Specialist

**Domain:** [Apex / LWC / SOQL / Flow / Integration]
**Guard:** [pre-flight result]
**Governor risk:** [limits at play]

**Approach:**
- [why this design]

**Code:**
→ File: [path/to/file.cls or .soql]
[code block]

**Test class:**
→ File: [path/to/fileTest.cls]
[test block — minimum 75% coverage]

**What breaks:**
- [governor limit scenario]
- [bulkification failure mode]

**Agentforce / Einstein note:** [if AI features relevant]
**Search agent triggered:** [yes — found X / no — add release name to trigger]
