Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

service-helpagent-coordinate: Service Cloud Help Agent, guided setup

Use this skill to stand up a **Service Cloud Help Agent** (an Agentforce Service Agent) on a Salesforce org from Claude Code, following the same guided flow as the Help Agent Quick Setup wizard. This is a **coordinate** skill: it orchestrates existing skills against a canonical spec — it does **not** author a new agent primitive.

Why this skill exists

Salesforce's official Help Agent template-creation API is not yet shipped. Without it, Claude has no built-in concept of "Help Agent" and would otherwise generate a generic agent. `assets/help-agent-spec.md` substitutes for the missing API: its agent script is the canonical template the eventual Quick Start UI will produce. Treat the spec as source of truth for the agent's lineage (topics, actions, instructions).

Scope

**In scope:**

  • Guided, four-checkpoint Help Agent setup (identity → grounding → channel → go-live)
  • Knowledge grounding via Agentforce Data Library (ADL)
  • Web Chat / Help Portal channel setup and Experience Cloud site embed
  • Readiness checks (licenses, Einstein Agent User, Data Cloud permission sets)

**Out of scope — delegate elsewhere:**

  • OAuth / External Client App setup → [integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure](../integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure/SKILL.md)
  • Raw agent authoring with no Help Agent lineage → `agentforce-generate`
  • Metadata deploy/retrieve → `platform-metadata-deploy`

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code + Salesforce CLI installed and an authenticated org (see repo `README.md`)
  • MCP servers registered: `salesforce-api-context`, `metadata-experts`, `sobject-reads`
  • Salesforce Skills installed into `.agents/skills/` (or `.claude/skills/`)
  • **A Salesforce org with the required features enabled (or enable-able via metadata):** Agentforce, Einstein Generative AI, Knowledge, Experience Cloud, and Data Cloud. Any org shape that meets this bar works — production, sandbox, scratch, or Developer Edition. The readiness check in `assets/help-agent-spec.md` §4.0 detects each feature and enables what can be enabled; it stops with a clear message if a required capability is missing and cannot be turned on.

Skills this coordinates

The spec feeds these existing skills — do **not** author a new Help Agent skill:

| Skill | Role | |---|---| | `agentforce-generate` | Agent authoring + ADL provisioning/grounding (see its `references/data-library-reference.md`, `references/org-setup-for-adl.md`) | | `dx-org-permission-set-assign` | Data Cloud permission-set assignment | | `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` | Messaging channel setup (uses `sessionHandlerAsa` for AgentforceServiceAgent routing — see `references/channel-web-chat.md`) | | `service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure` | Embedded Service Deployment (targets `SiteType = 'ChatterNetworkPicasso'` sites — Aura won't work) | | `experience-lwr-site-generate` | Experience Cloud (LWR) site — used when the org has no Live LWR site yet | | `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` | Widget placement + embed (Checkpoint 3.5 / 4) |

Workflow

Read `assets/help-agent-spec.md` first — it is the authoritative flow and is intentionally kept small. **Do not pre-load the rest.** The heavy or conditional material is split into `references/` and read only when the flow reaches it (progressive disclosure — this is deliberate, to keep token usage low):

  • **`references/agent-script.md`** — the ~500-line canonical agent script + placeholder list. Load it **only when you are ready to create the agent, after Checkpoint 2** — not during Checkpoints 1, 3, or 4.
  • **`references/channel-web-chat.md`** — Web Chat provisioning detail. Load **only if the user picks Web Chat** at Checkpoint 3.
  • **`references/channel-help-portal.md`** / **`references/channel-voice.md`** — coming-soon channel hard-stops. Load only if the user picks that channel.

Read the one channel file that matches the user's selection — never all three. Then run the interactive setup **without one-shotting**: walk the user through four checkpoints in order, waiting for a reply at each.

Readiness check (silent, MANDATORY, do not reorder)

Order is load-bearing — running step 3 before step 2 fails with `PermissionSet not found: GenieUserEnh
