Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned forcedotcom/salesforcedx-vscode at 597b844352.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides best practices for using Salesforce DX effects. It helps ensure that your Salesforce DX projects are maintainable and reliable by guiding you through the proper implementation of effects, which are used to manage asynchronous operations within a Salesforce project. The skill focuses on creating robust and predictable workflows when interacting with Salesforce data.

When to use it

  • When developing complex Salesforce DX projects involving asynchronous processing.
  • To ensure consistent and maintainable code for managing Salesforce data updates.
  • During code reviews to identify potential issues related to effect usage.
  • When refactoring existing Salesforce DX projects to improve reliability.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance on implementing effects correctly.
  • Offers best practices for managing asynchronous operations in Salesforce DX.
  • Helps ensure maintainability of Salesforce DX projects.

Example prompts

  • "How should I structure an effect in my Salesforce DX project?"
  • "What are common pitfalls to avoid when using effects?"
  • "Can you give me an example of a well-written effect for updating a record asynchronously?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes familiarity with Salesforce DX and the concept of effects. Incorrectly implemented effects can lead to unpredictable behavior, so carefully review any suggestions provided by this skill against official Salesforce documentation.
