sf-lwc
Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. 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 sf-apex), Aura components, or Vi

sf lwc: Lightning Web Components Development
Use this skill when the user needs Lightning Web Components : LWC bundles, wire patterns, Apex/GraphQL integration, SLDS 2 styling, accessibility, performance work, or Jest unit tests.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use sf lwc when the work involves:
lwc/ / .js , .html , .css , .js meta.xml
component scaffolding and bundle design
wire service, Apex integration, GraphQL integration
SLDS 2, dark mode, and accessibility work
Jest unit tests for LWC
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
writing Apex controllers or business logic first → [sf apex](../sf apex/SKILL.md)
building Flow XML rather than an LWC screen component → [sf flow](../sf flow/SKILL.md)
deploying metadata → [sf deploy](../sf deploy/SKILL.md)
Required Context to Gather First
Ask for or infer:
component purpose and target surface
data source: LDS, Apex, GraphQL, LMS, or external system via Apex
whether the user needs tests
whether the component must run in Flow, App Builder, Experience Cloud, or dashboard contexts
accessibility and styling expectations
Recommended Workflow
1. Choose the right architecture
Use the PICKLES mindset:
prototype
integrate the right data source
compose component boundaries
define interaction model
use platform libraries
optimize execution
enforce security
2. Choose the right data access pattern
Need Default pattern
single record UI LDS / getRecord
simple CRUD form base record form components
complex server query Apex @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true)
related graph data GraphQL wire adapter
cross DOM communication Lightning Message Service
3. Start from an asset when useful
Use provided assets for:
basic component bundles
datatables
modal patterns
Flow screen components
GraphQL components
LMS message channels
Jest tests
TypeScript enabled components
4. Validate for frontend quality
Check:
accessibility
SLDS 2 / dark mode compliance
event contracts
performance / rerender safety
Jest coverage when required
5. Hand off supporting backend or deploy work
Use:
[sf apex](../sf apex/SKILL.md) for controllers / services
[sf deploy](../sf deploy/SKILL.md) for deployment
[sf testing](../sf testing/SKILL.md) only for Apex side test loops, not Jest
High Signal Rules
prefer platform base components over reinventing controls
use @wire for reactive read only use cases; imperative calls for explicit actions and DML paths
do not introduce inaccessible custom UI
avoid hardcoded colors; use SLDS 2 compatible styling hooks / variables
avoid rerender loops in renderedCallback()
keep component communication patterns explicit and minimal
Output Format
When finishing, report in this order:
1. Component(s) created or updated
2. Data access pattern chosen
3. Files changed
4. Accessibility / styling / testing notes
5. Next implementation or deploy step
Suggested shape:
Local Development Server
Preview LWC components locally with hot reload — no deployment needed:
In current SF CLI releases, these Local Dev commands are installed just in time the first time you run them. They are long running processes that open a browser with live preview. Changes to .js , .html , and .css files auto reload instantly. Requires an active org connection for data and Apex callouts.
Cross Skill Integration
Need Delegate to Reason
Apex controller or service [sf apex](../sf apex/SKILL.md) backend logic
embed in Flow screens [sf flow](../sf flow/SKILL.md) declarative orchestration
deploy component bundle [sf deploy](../sf deploy/SKILL.md) org rollout
create metadata like message channels [sf metadata](../sf metadata/SKILL.md) supporting metadata
