dx-devops-test-pipeline-configure
Configures DevOps Center pipeline testing infrastructure: enables a test provider so its suites become available, re-syncs a configured provider to pull in new suites, or creates a quality gate with rules on a stage. Routes by intent across three modes after running shared prerequisite checks and an explicit confirmation gate. Use this skill when a user wants to set up, configure, enable, sync, or refresh a test provider, or set/configure a quality gate or coverage threshold on a DevOps Center pipeline stage. TRIGGER when: the user wants to configure/enable/add/set up a test provider, re-sync or refresh a provider's suite list, pull in new suites, or set/configure a quality gate, coverage threshold, or testing benchmark on a stage. DO NOT TRIGGER when: assigning existing suites to a stage (use dx-devops-test-suite-assignments-configure), running or retriggering a suite (use dx-devops-test-suite-run), or non-DevOps-Center work.
Full skill instructions
Sets up and configures a DevOps Center pipeline's testing infrastructure. This skill handles three closely related "configure your pipeline" operations that share the same org context, prerequisites, and entity scope (the pipeline level). Pick the mode that matches the user's intent.
API version: All DevOps testing system calls target Salesforce API v67.0 (minimum required).
Important: All DevOps Center data (pipelines, stages, providers, suites, gates) lives in the Salesforce org — NOT the local repo. Never search the filesystem for pipeline configuration. Always query the org with sf data query or sf api request rest.
Before any query or system call, run the prerequisite checks in references/prerequisite-checks.md. On any failure, surface the plain-language message and stop — never write to an unverified environment.
DevopsPipelineStage only — the target DevopsTestSuiteStage record Id is resolved separately in Mode C's Step 0 (trigger → suite-stage row).Carry forward the resolved doce-org-alias, pipelineId, and (Mode C) stageId / testSuiteStageId.
| If the user wants to… | Mode | Follow |
|---|---|---|
| Enable / set up / add a provider that is not yet configured | A — Configure a test provider | references/configuring-test-provider.md |
| Re-sync / refresh an already-configured provider to pull in new suites | B — Sync a configured provider | references/syncing-test-providers.md |
| Set / configure a quality gate, coverage threshold, or testing benchmark on a stage | C — Configure a quality gate | references/configuring-quality-gate.md |
Disambiguating A vs B (the critical decision): First fetch the pipeline's providers (GET .../testProviders?status=all) — both modes start there. Then:
dx-devops-test-suite-assignments-configure.Never POST to the configure endpoint for an already-configured provider — it creates duplicate DevopsPipelineTestProvider records. See references/gotchas.md.
Every mode mutates org state and must show a confirmation gate before any write. Each mode's reference file contains its exact gate wording (Mode C additionally requires a mandatory impact preview before the gate). Do not call any write API until the user gives an affirmative response. If the user declines, stop without writing.
Follow the chosen reference file for the exact API calls, success messages, and error handling:
references/configuring-test-provider.md — Mode Areferences/syncing-test-providers.md — Mode Breferences/configuring-quality-gate.md — Mode Creferences/error-handling.md — consolidated status-code → plain-language tables for all modesreferences/gotchas.md — duplicate-provider trap, API-name differences, trigger-type rulesNever expose raw API errors, stack traces, or JSON payloads to the user — always translate to plain language.
dx-devops-test-suite-assignments-configure — after configuring/syncing a provider, assign or map its suites to a stage; also recommends which suites to run for a commit.dx-devops-test-suite-run — run a suite, or retrigger a quality gate after fixes meet the threshold.dx-devops-test-failures-analyze — explain failures from a run and optionally create a fix work item.
Salesforce debug log analysis and troubleshooting with 100-point scoring. TRIGGER when: user analyzes debug logs, hits governor limits, reads stack traces, or touches .log files from Salesforce orgs. DO NOT TRIGGER when: running Apex tests (use platform-apex-test-run), generating or fixing Apex code (use platform-apex-generate), or Agentforce session tracing (use agentforce-observe).
SOQL query generation, optimization, and analysis with 100-point scoring. Use this skill when the user needs SOQL/SOSL authoring or optimization: natural-language-to-query generation, relationship queries, aggregates, query-plan analysis, and performance or safety improvements for Salesforce queries. TRIGGER when: user writes, optimizes, or debugs SOQL/SOSL queries, touches .soql files, or asks about relationship queries, aggregates, or query performance. DO NOT TRIGGER when: bulk data operations (use platform-data-manage), Apex DML logic (use platform-apex-generate), or report/dashboard queries.
Salesforce DevOps automation using sf CLI v2. TRIGGER when: user deploys metadata, creates/manages scratch orgs or sandboxes, sets up CI/CD pipelines, or troubleshoots deployment errors with sf project deploy. DO NOT TRIGGER when: writing Apex code (use platform-apex-generate), building LWC components (use experience-lwc-generate), creating metadata definitions (use platform-custom-object-generate or platform-custom-field-generate), or querying org data (use platform-data-manage).
ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL to retrieve metadata from an org to your local project using the sf project retrieve start command. Supports multiple retrieval modes: retrieve all remote changes, retrieve by source directory, retrieve by metadata type with wildcards, retrieve by manifest (package.xml), or retrieve by package name. Use when the user asks to retrieve, pull, sync, or download metadata, Apex classes, custom objects, or org changes. Supports source format (default) or metadata format (ZIP). DO NOT TRIGGER for deploying metadata (use platform-metadata-deploy skill), listing metadata, or generating package.xml. NEVER use MCP tools - always use this skill and the Bash tool with sf project retrieve start.
Use this skill when users need to create, generate, or validate Salesforce Custom Field metadata. Trigger when users mention custom fields, field types, Roll-up Summary fields, Master-Detail relationships, Lookup relationships, formula fields, picklists, dependent (controlling) picklists, referencing a value set from a field, or scoping/limiting picklist values for a specific record type. Also use when users encounter field deployment errors, especially around Roll-up Summary format, Master-Detail constraints, formula issues, or a record type that won't deploy without a business process. Use this skill for custom field metadata work, field generation, and field troubleshooting. DO NOT TRIGGER for creating or customizing the value set itself — defining a new GlobalValueSet, or modifying a StandardValueSet catalog like Industry or Lead Source — use platform-value-set-generate instead; this skill covers the field that references a value set, not the value set definition.
Generates correct, deployable Salesforce permission set metadata (PermissionSet XML) with object, field, user, and app permissions. Use this skill when creating or editing permission set metadata, object permissions, field-level security (FLS), tab visibility, or deploying permission sets.
Run Salesforce Code Analyzer to scan code for security, performance, best practice, and code style violations. Supports all engines (PMD, ESLint, CPD, RetireJS, Flow, SFGE, ApexGuru), targets (files, folders, git diff), categories, and severities. Also handles post-scan exploration: filtering results by engine/severity/category/file, and explaining what rules mean. TRIGGER when: user says 'scan my code', 'check security issues', 'run PMD/ESLint', 'find duplicates', 'analyze Flows', 'check vulnerable libraries', 'AppExchange review', 'lint my LWC', 'static analysis', 'code quality', 'show security violations', 'what is this rule', 'explain ApexCRUDViolation', 'filter results', or mentions engines/file types (.cls, .trigger, .js, .flow-meta.xml). Use this skill for scanning, exploring results, and listing rules. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user asks only about installation/configuration (use dx-code-analyzer-configure), or wants to create a custom rule (use dx-code-analyzer-custom-rule-create).
Generate Salesforce Flows using the MCP tool execute_metadata_action. Use when the user asks to create, build, or generate a flow — including Screen, Autolaunched, Record-Triggered (before/after-save), Scheduled. Also trigger for flow-like requests such as "when a record is created", "trigger daily at", "send an email when", "update the field when", "automate", "workflow", or "flow XML/metadata". This is the only skill for Salesforce Flow generation.
Use this skill when users need to create, generate, or validate Salesforce Custom Object metadata. Trigger when users mention custom objects, creating objects, object metadata, .object files, sharing models, name fields, or validation rules on objects. Also use when users say things like "create a custom object", "generate object metadata", "set up an object for...", or when they're troubleshooting object deployment errors especially around sharing models and Master-Detail relationships. Always use this skill for any custom object metadata work, including enriching and keeping the object's description current whenever its fields or validation rules change. Do NOT use this skill for non-Custom-Object metadata (Apex, Flows, LWC, Permission Sets, Custom Metadata Types) or for standard Salesforce objects.
Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use platform-soql-query), Apex test execution (use platform-apex-test-run), or metadata deployment (use platform-metadata-deploy).
Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use platform-apex-generate), Aura components, or Visualforce.
Apply SLDS-compliant UI using the correct blueprints, styling hooks, utility classes, and icons. Use when building any UI that needs SLDS, choosing between Lightning Base Components and SLDS Blueprints, applying styling hooks for theming, using utility classes for layout and spacing, or selecting icons. Triggers include "build a modal", "create a form", "data table", "SLDS styling", "style with hooks", "add an icon".
