When to Use This Skill

Use when automating post-install configuration for any Salesforce managed package. This skill reads the package's post-install documentation, discovers available execution methods, and automates the configuration steps — including permission sets, object/field permissions, page layouts, Visualforce page access, and tab settings.

Input

  • **Required:** Package name (e.g., `LMA`, `FMA`, `work.com`)
  • **Optional:** Path to post-install doc (PDF, markdown, URL)

If no doc is provided, ask the user to supply it.

Workflow

Execute phases in order. Each phase must pass before proceeding.

---

Phase 1: Discover Available Execution Methods

**Priority order:** 1. Org-native platform MCP servers (highest — direct org access via Headless 360) 2. Claude Code external MCP servers (sf-sobject-all, sf-sobject-all-sb, etc.) 3. sf CLI fallback (always available if authenticated)

Step 1A: Resolve org API version

Discover the org's current API version dynamically — never hardcode a version number:

sf org display --target-org <alias> --json

From the JSON response, read `result.apiVersion` (e.g., `"67.0"`). Store this value and use it as `v<apiVersion>` in all subsequent REST paths. If the command fails, fall back to the `minApiVersion` declared in this skill's metadata (`67.0`).

Step 1B: Check for org-native platform MCP servers

Query the Tooling API for MCP server availability:

sf api request rest "/services/data/v<apiVersion>/tooling/query?q=SELECT+Id,DeveloperName,MasterLabel+FROM+McpServerAccess" --target-org <alias>

Step 1C: Determine execution method

Check which Claude Code MCP tools are available and authenticated.

**MCP tool prefixes by org type:**

| Org Type | Tool Prefix | |---|---| | Production | `mcp__sf-sobject-all__` | | Sandbox | `mcp__sf-sobject-all-sb__` | | Falcon Test (pc-rnd) | `mcp__sf-sobject-all-falcon__` |

If MCP needs auth, call the authenticate tool. If auth fails, fall back to sf CLI.

---

Phase 2: Verify Authentication & Org Identity

1. Run a lightweight test query (`SELECT Id, Name, IsSandbox FROM Organization`) 2. If MCP auth fails, automatically fall back to sf CLI 3. Display org info and ask user to confirm before proceeding

---

Phase 3: Verify Package Installation

1. Determine the package namespace (ask user if unknown) 2. Check via Tooling API (`InstalledSubscriberPackage`) — do NOT use `PackageLicense` 3. If package not found, stop and inform user

---

Phase 4: Read and Parse Post-Install Document

Read the provided document and extract discrete configuration steps.

**Supported formats:** PDF, markdown, URL (via WebFetch), pasted text.

**Parsing approach:** 1. Extract each numbered/bulleted step from the document 2. Present the extracted steps to the user for validation before proceeding

---

Phase 5: Classify Steps & Interactive Plan Review

For each step extracted from the doc, classify as Automated or Manual.

Automation capabilities reference

**Via MCP (sobject-all) or sf CLI CRUD:**

  • Record CRUD on any standard or custom object (PermissionSet, ObjectPermissions,

FieldPermissions, SetupEntityAccess, PermissionSetTabSetting, PermissionSetAssignment, etc.)

**Via Metadata API retrieve/deploy (sf CLI):**

  • Page layout modifications (add related lists, fields, sections)
  • Profile settings
  • Custom metadata type records

**Via sf CLI Tooling API:**

  • Tooling queries (InstalledSubscriberPackage, ApexPage, ApexClass, etc.)
  • Any REST-accessible Tooling operation

**Manual (no API path — requires Setup UI):**

  • System permissions not exposed via REST
  • Connected app OAuth configuration
  • Environment Hub linkage

Interactive approval

Present the classified plan and let the user choose:

  • **"Approve all"** — Execute all steps as planned
  • **"Let me choose"** — Select which steps to approve/skip
  • **"I have questions"** — Discuss specific steps before deciding

---

Phase 6: Execute Approved Steps

For each approved step, use the resolved execution method.

Execution method reference

| Operation | Via MCP | Via sf CLI | |---|---|---| | SOQL query | `soqlQuery` tool | `sf data query --query "<SOQL>" --target-org <alias> --json` | | Create record | `createSobjectRecord` tool | `sf data create record --sobject <Object> --values "..." --target-org <alias> --json` | | Update record | `updateSobjectRecord` tool | `sf data update record --sobject <Object> --record-id <id> --values "..." --target-org <alias> --json` | | Describe object | `getObjectSchema` tool | `sf api request rest "/services/data/v<apiVersion>/sobjects/<Object>/describe" --target-org <alias>` | | Page layout | N/A | Metadata API retrieve/deploy |

Page layout modifications via Metadata API

Use `sf project retrieve start` → edit the layout XML → `sf project deploy start`.

Execution rules

  • **Idempotency:** Before creating any record, query to check if it already exists. Skip if so.
  • **Report after each step:** Show success count, skipped items, and reasons.
  • **Automatic fallback:** If MCP fails mid-execution, retry via sf CLI.
  • **On failure:** Rep
