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](../integration connectivity connected app configure/SKILL.md) writing Apex only business logic → [platform apex generate](../platform apex generate/SKILL.md) deploying metadata → [platform metadata deploy](../platform metadata deploy/SKILL.md) importing/exporting data → [platform data manage](../platform data manage/SKILL.md) 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](../platform metadata deploy/SKILL.md) for deployment [platform apex generate](../platform apex generate/SKILL.md) for deeper service / retry code [automation flow generate](../automation flow generate/SKILL.md) 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: 1. Integration pattern chosen 2. Auth model chosen 3. Files created or updated 4. Operational safeguards 5.

Credential metadata — one or more files in assets/named credentials/ or assets/external credentials/ filled with org specific values 2. Callout Apex class — a .cls file using the Named Credential pattern, with async/sync pattern chosen based on context 3. Event/CDC artifacts — Platform Event .object meta.xml , subscriber trigger, or CDC config (when event driven pattern is chosen) 4. Endpoint security metadata — Remote Site Setting and/or CSP Trusted Site XML files 5. Scoring report — 120 point score across 6 categories (Security, Error Handling, Bulkification, Architecture, Best Practices, Documentation) 6. 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 Pre Delivery Checklist [ ] Never hardcode credentials — all secrets stored in Named Credentials or External Credentials
