Salesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure), Apex-only logic (use platform-apex-generate), data import/export (use platform-data-manage), or CDC channel-membership metadata such as PlatformEventChannel, PlatformEventChannelMember, or EnrichedField (use integration-eventing-cdc-configure).

integration-connectivity-generate: Salesforce Integration Patterns Expert

Use this skill when the user needs integration architecture and runtime plumbing: Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, CDC, and event-driven integration design.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use

integration-connectivity-generate

when the work involves:

```
.namedCredential-meta.xml
```
or External Credential metadata
outbound REST/SOAP callouts
External Service registration from OpenAPI specs
Platform Events, CDC, and event-driven architecture
choosing sync vs async integration patterns

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:

configuring the OAuth app itself → integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure
writing Apex-only business logic → platform-apex-generate
deploying metadata → platform-metadata-deploy
importing/exporting data → platform-data-manage

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

integration style: outbound callout, inbound event, External Service, CDC, platform event
auth method
sync vs async requirement
system endpoint / spec details
rate limits, retry expectations, and failure tolerance
whether this is net-new design or repair of an existing integration

Recommended Workflow

1. Choose the integration pattern

Need	Default pattern
authenticated outbound API call	Named Credential / External Credential + Apex or Flow
spec-driven API client	External Service
trigger-originated callout	async callout pattern
decoupled event publishing	Platform Events
change-stream consumption	CDC

2. Choose the auth model

Prefer secure runtime-managed auth:

Named Credentials / External Credentials
OAuth or JWT via the right credential model
no hardcoded secrets in code

3. Generate from the right templates

Use the provided assets under:

```
assets/named-credentials/
```
```
assets/external-credentials/
```
```
assets/external-services/
```
```
assets/callouts/
```
```
assets/platform-events/
```
```
assets/cdc/
```
```
assets/soap/
```

4. Validate operational safety

Check:

timeout and retry handling
async strategy for trigger-originated work
logging / observability
event retention and subscriber implications

5. Hand off deployment or implementation details

Use:

platform-metadata-deploy for deployment
platform-apex-generate for deeper service / retry code
automation-flow-generate for declarative HTTP callout orchestration

High-Signal Rules

never hardcode credentials
do not do synchronous callouts from triggers
define timeout behavior explicitly
plan retries for transient failures
use middleware / event-driven patterns when outbound volume is high
prefer External Credentials architecture for new development when supported

Common anti-patterns:

sync trigger callouts
no retry or dead-letter strategy
no request/response logging
mixing auth setup responsibilities with runtime integration design

Output Format

When finishing, report in this order:

Integration pattern chosen
Auth model chosen
Files created or updated
Operational safeguards
Deployment / testing next step

Suggested shape:

text

Integration: <summary>
Pattern: <named credential / external service / event / cdc / callout>
Files: <paths>
Safety: <timeouts, retries, async, logging>
Next step: <deploy, register, test, or implement>

Cross-Skill Integration

Need	Delegate to	Reason
OAuth app setup	integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure	consumer key / cert / app config
advanced callout service code	platform-apex-generate	Apex implementation
declarative HTTP callout / Flow wrapper	automation-flow-generate	Flow orchestration
deploy integration metadata	platform-metadata-deploy	validation and rollout
use integration from Agentforce	agentforce-generate	agent action composition

Output Expectations

When this skill completes an integration task, it produces:

Credential metadata — one or more files in
```
assets/named-credentials/
```
or
```
assets/external-credentials/
```
filled with org-specific values
Callout Apex class — a
```
.cls
```
file using the Named Credential pattern, with async/sync pattern chosen based on context
Event/CDC artifacts — Platform Event
```
.object-meta.xml
```
, subscriber trigger, or CDC config (when event-driven pattern is chosen)
Endpoint security metadata — Remote Site Setting and/or CSP Trusted Site XML files
Scoring report — 120-point score across 6 categories (Security, Error Handling, Bulkification, Architecture, Best Practices, Documentation)
Next step — a deployment or testing instruction for the generated artifacts

Score Guide

Score	Meaning
108+	strong production-ready integration design
90–107	good design with some hardening left
72–89	workable but needs architectural review
< 72	unsafe / incomplete for deployment
