building-mobile-apps
The entry point for building any Salesforce native mobile app on iOS or Android. TRIGGER when the user says: "build a Salesforce iOS app", "add Salesforce login to my Android app", "set up Mobile SDK", "add MobileSync / SmartStore offline storage", "embed an Agentforce agent in my mobile app", "add Agentforce chat to iOS/Android", or otherwise asks to create, extend, or integrate a Salesforce mobile experience in Swift or Kotlin (MSDK, Agentforce SDK, or both). SKIP when the user is building a non-Salesforce mobile app, using React Native / Flutter / Ionic without Salesforce integration, asking about generic mobile UI design, or working on a Salesforce-adjacent web/desktop surface (LWC, Experience Cloud, Mobile Publisher branding-only).
What this skill does
# Salesforce Mobile Route the user to the right SDK-family skill for building Salesforce-connected mobile apps. Do not implement features here; child skills own scenario detection and step-by-step instructions. ## Before routing Disambiguate on two dimensions: **SDK family** (Mobile SDK vs. Agentforce SDK) and **platform** (iOS vs. Android). They are not mutually exclusive — an app can use both SDKs. If the user's intent could plausibly map to either SDK, ask before routing. Guessing wrong wastes the user's time because the child skills are platform- and SDK-specific. ## Routing — which SDK family? | User's situation | SDK | |---|---| | Authenticating end users to Salesforce, syncing records (MobileSync), storing data offline (SmartStore), biometric login, push notifications, REST integration | **Mobile SDK** | | Embedding an Agentforce agent — chat UI, agent conversations, conversational features as the primary surface | **Agentforce SDK** | | Both (data-driven app with an embedded agent) | **Mobile SDK first**, then **Agentforce SDK** layered on top | ### Tiebreakers when both seem to apply - Is the agent the *primary surface* (chat-first app), or a *feature inside* an otherwise data-driven app? - Primary → Agentforce SDK - Feature → Mobile SDK; embed the agent via Agentforce SDK alongside it - Are end users authenticating into Salesforce data? - Yes → Mobile SDK is required (Agentforce SDK can be added on top). - No → Agentforce SDK alone is likely sufficient (it uses guest auth). - Asking about offline storage, sync, REST, push, or biometrics? → Mobile SDK. - Asking about agent conversations, chat UI, or streaming responses? → Agentforce SDK. When still unclear, ask the user directly. ## Routing — which platform? | Platform | Mobile SDK skill | Agentforce SDK skill | |---|---|---| | iOS (Swift) | `ios-mobile-sdk` | `integrate-agentforce-ios` | | Android (Kotlin) | `android-mobile-sdk` | `integrate-agentforce-android` | If the user wants both platforms, route to each child skill separately — they are independent. ## Combined workflows (Mobile SDK + Agentforce SDK) When an app needs both: 1. Route to the Mobile SDK platform skill first to scaffold and authenticate. 2. Route to the Agentforce SDK platform skill to layer the agent surface. 3. Treat each child skill's instructions as authoritative for its SDK; do not merge their steps. Each SDK owns its own auth setup, dependency installation order, and initialization sequence — interleaving them produces conflicting config and broken init order. This sequencing is the only multi-skill logic this skill owns. Everything else lives inside the child skills. ## Loading a child skill Invoke the child skill by name through the harness. If it is not available locally, prompt the user to install it with `npx skills add <repo>`. If the user confirms (or has pre-authorized installs), run the command and load the child skill — do not make the user go figure out how to continue the workflow. If the user declines, stop and explain that the child skill owns the SDK's setup steps and the workflow cannot continue without it. Each child skill is published from a public repo: | Skill | Repo | Install command | |---|---|---| | `ios-mobile-sdk` | [`forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates`](https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates) → `skills/ios-mobile-sdk/` | `npx --yes skills add forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates --skill ios-mobile-sdk --yes` | | `android-mobile-sdk` | [`forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates`](https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates) → `skills/android-mobile-sdk/` | `npx --yes skills add forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Templates --skill android-mobile-sdk --yes` | | `integrate-agentforce-ios` | [`salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-iOS`](https://github.com/salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-iOS) → `skills/integrate-agentforce-ios/` | `npx --yes skills add salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-iOS --skill integrate-agentforce-ios --yes` | | `integrate-agentforce-android` | [`salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-Android`](https://github.com/salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-Android) → `skills/integrate-agentforce-android/` | `npx --yes skills add salesforce/AgentforceMobileSDK-Android --skill integrate-agentforce-android --yes` | After install, load the child skill and let it take over. Do not inline the child skill's content — the child skill owns scenario detection, prerequisites, and step-by-step instructions.

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).

Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
