Vibe Check: Are You Specific Enough for Agentforce?

Let's be honest. Most of us installed the new Agentforce Vibes extension, typed "Create a trigger for Account", and then spent the next 20 minutes fixing the code. It didn't know our naming conventions, forgot the handler pattern, and added System.debug statements like it was 2015.

You might be thinking, "This AI isn't smart."

But the uncomfortable truth is: You failed the Vibe Check.

If you treat Agentforce like a mind-reading magician, you get garbage. If you treat it like a junior developer who needs strict Rules and a defined Workflow, you get a superpower.

Here is the complete guide to setting up your environment so you pass the Vibe Check every time.

1. The Setup (Build the ground)

You can't have good vibes in a messy environment.

• Update CLI: Run sf update in your terminal. Agentforce needs v2.x to index your files properly.

• Authorize Org: Always run SFDX: Authorize an Org (and set it as default) so the AI knows which objects actually exist in your cloud.

• Enable Telemetry: Check VS Code settings. The AI needs the telemetry heartbeat to verify your session.

2. Mastering "Rules" (The Constitution)

A "Rule" is a permanent instruction. Instead of typing "Don't use System.debug" every single time, you define it once.

Try It Now: The "Enterprise Standard" Rule

Let's create a rule that enforces strict security and error handling.

1. Open Agentforce Panel → Rules Tab (Justice Icon ⚖️).
2. Click + New Workspace Rule or Global Rule, Your choice!
3. Name: Strict Coding Standards
4. Instruction: Copy and paste the rules below.

## Strict Coding Standards


**Objective:** Ensure all generated code is secure, handled properly, and follows the org's architecture.


**Guidelines:**
1.  **Error Handling:** All Apex methods must be wrapped in a `try-catch` block.
2.  **Logging:** In the catch block, always use `Log_Handle.logError(className, methodName, e)` to record the exception.
3.  **Documentation:** Every Apex method must include a Javadoc-style comment block describing the method's purpose *before* the method signature starts.
4.  **Triggers:** Triggers must contain **zero logic**. They must delegate immediately to a handler class named `[Object]TriggerHandler`.
5.  **Security:** All SOQL queries must use `WITH USER_MODE` to enforce FLS and CRUD.
6.  **LWC Standards:** Always use the generic toast message utility for notifications; do not hardcode toast events.

How to Verify It Works

Open a chat and type: "Write a simple method to fetch Accounts."

• With Rule: It will generate a method with WITH USER_MODE, wrap it in a try-catch, and add the Log_Handle call automatically.

Efficiency Hack: You don't even need to open the settings. When you are in the chat and you realize you have a preference for a workspace, just type:

/newrule Always use console.error to log error in console in LWC..

Boom. It remembers. Forever.

Vibe Check Passed.

Now go, build your own rules, “Your Workspace, Your Rules!”

3. Mastering "Workflows" (The Automation Engine)

This is the game-changer. A Workflow is a script of steps you trigger with one command. We are going to build a "Quality Gate" workflow that cleans your code for you.

Try It Now: The "Quality Gate" Workflow

Instead of manually checking your code before a commit, let's script it.

1. Open Agentforce Panel -> Workflows Tab.
2. Click + New Workspace Workflow or Global Workflow, Your Choice.
3. Name the file: quality-gate.md.
4. Paste this exact code:

# Quality Gate Workflow


**Goal:** Rigorous cleanup of staged files before committing.


**Steps:**
1.  **Debug Cleanup:** Scan all currently staged Apex classes. Remove any lines containing `System.debug`.
2.  **Test Run:** Run the local tests associated with these classes.
    * If tests fail or coverage is < 75%: Attempt to fix the code errors, update the test class to increase coverage, and re-run.
    * If tests pass: Proceed to the next step.
3.  **Documentation:** Check if the methods have Javadoc comments. If missing, generate them based on the code logic.
4.  **Git Commit:** Generate a "Conventional Commit" message (e.g., `fix: ...` or `feat: ...`) based on the final changes and present it to the user.

How to verify It works:

1. Create a messy Apex class (e.g., Temp.cls) with a System.debug('test'); and no comments.
2. Stage the file (git add Temp.cls).
3. Open Agentforce Chat and type: /quality-gate

Watch the magic: You will see the AI explicitly state: "Removing debug logs... Running tests... Adding comments..." and finally handing you a perfect commit message.

Isn’t it time saving? Go save your time by building your own workflows!

4. The 1% Details (Efficiency Hacks)

1. The "Explain This Mess" Shortcut:

• Bind a keyboard shortcut to Agentforce: Explain Code command. When you open a legacy class written by "Dev from 2018" (we all know that Dev), just hit the shortcut. It summarizes the logic in plain English.

2. Context is King (@):

• Always use the @ symbol. Don't say "Fix the error."
• Say: "Fix the error in @AccountTrigger.trigger using the pattern in @TriggerHandler.cls."

Final Thoughts

Agentforce Vibes isn't there to replace you, yet. It's there to be the junior developer that types really fast but needs supervision.

• Rules ensure it follows your standards.
• Workflows ensure it follows your process.

If you set these two simple things up, you stop fighting the AI and start architecting with it.
