What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create, modify, and validate Salesforce Validation Rules without guessing at metadata structure, formula behavior, or deployment requirements. It reduces common errors that lead to broken rules, invalid formulas, and failed deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Validation Rule Generation: Produces metadata for new validation rules with the required API name, active state, formula, and error message.
• Rule Modification and Troubleshooting: Supports updates to existing formulas and helps diagnose common Salesforce validation logic mistakes.
• Salesforce Formula Guardrails: Guides correct use of functions like CASE, ISPICKVAL, VALUE, DAY, MONTH, DATEVALUE, TEXT, and ISCHANGE.
• Deployment-Ready Output: Enforces XML handling rules, including CDATA wrapping when formulas contain XML tags, and uses the correct file extension for validation rule metadata.

Quick Start

Ask for a Salesforce validation rule by describing the object, the business condition, the error message, and whether the rule should be active.
