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:


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

  1. entry point and transaction type
  2. exceptions / fatal errors
  3. governor limits
  4. repeated SOQL / DML patterns
  5. CPU / heap hotspots
  6. 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

SOQL in looprepeating
SOQL_EXECUTE_BEGIN

DML in looprepeated
DML_BEGIN
patterns
collect rows, bulk DML once
Non-selective queryhigh rows scanned / poor selectivityadd indexed filters, reduce scope
CPU pressureCPU usage approaching sync limitreduce algorithmic complexity, cache, async where valid
Heap pressureheap usage approaching sync limitstream with SOQL for-loops, reduce in-memory data
Null pointer / fatal error
EXCEPTION_THROWN
/
FATAL_ERROR
guard null assumptions, fix empty-query handling

Output Format

When finishing analysis, report in this order:

  1. What failed
  2. Where it failed (class / method / line / transaction stage)
  3. Why it failed (root cause, not just symptom)
  4. How severe it is
  5. Recommended fix
  6. 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>
