sf-debug: Salesforce Debug Log Analysis & Troubleshooting

Use this skill when the user needs root-cause analysis from debug logs: governor-limit diagnosis, stack-trace interpretation, slow-query investigation, heap / CPU pressure analysis, or a reproduction-to-fix loop based on log evidence.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use sf-debug when the work involves:

.log files from Salesforce
stack traces and exception analysis
governor limits
SOQL / DML / CPU / heap troubleshooting
query-plan or performance evidence extracted from logs

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:

running or repairing Apex tests → sf-testing
implementing the code fix → sf-apex
debugging Agentforce session traces / parquet telemetry → sf-ai-agentforce-observability

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

org alias
failing transaction / user flow / test name
approximate timestamp or transaction window
user / record / request ID if known
whether the goal is diagnosis only or diagnosis + fix loop

Recommended Workflow

1. Retrieve logs

sf apex list log --target-org <alias> --json
sf apex get log --log-id <id> --target-org <alias>
sf apex tail log --target-org <alias> --color

2. Analyze in this order

entry point and transaction type
exceptions / fatal errors
governor limits
repeated SOQL / DML patterns
CPU / heap hotspots
callout timing and external failures

3. Classify severity

Critical — runtime failure, hard limit, corruption risk
Warning — near-limit, non-selective query, slow path
Info — optimization opportunity or hygiene issue

4. Recommend the smallest correct fix

Prefer fixes that are:

root-cause oriented
bulk-safe
testable
easy to verify with a rerun

High-Signal Issue Patterns

Issue	Primary signal	Default fix direction
SOQL in loop	repeating `SOQL_EXECUTE_BEGIN` in a repeated call path	query once, use maps / grouped collections
DML in loop	repeated `DML_BEGIN` patterns	collect rows, bulk DML once
Non-selective query	high rows scanned / poor selectivity	add indexed filters, reduce scope
CPU pressure	CPU usage approaching sync limit	reduce algorithmic complexity, cache, async where valid
Heap pressure	heap usage approaching sync limit	stream with SOQL for-loops, reduce in-memory data
Null pointer / fatal error	`EXCEPTION_THROWN` / `FATAL_ERROR`	guard null assumptions, fix empty-query handling

Expanded examples: references/common-issues.md

Output Format

When finishing analysis, report in this order:

What failed
Where it failed (class / method / line / transaction stage)
Why it failed (root cause, not just symptom)
How severe it is
Recommended fix
Verification step

Suggested shape:

Issue: <summary>
Location: <class / line / transaction>
Root cause: <explanation>
Severity: Critical | Warning | Info
Fix: <specific action>
Verify: <test or rerun step>
