Agentforce Vibes - First Look, Data Model
Summary
Agentforce Vibes from Salesforce shows strong capability in planning Salesforce data models and permission sets based on natural language prompts, especially for onboarding scenarios with complex requirements. While it excels at generating detailed plans and UI task lists, its execution in metadata generation and deployment is error-prone and requires experienced metadata oversight. The tool currently struggles with some Salesforce metadata standards, causing deployment failures that need manual fixes. However, with experience and patience, it significantly speeds up model and permission set creation compared to manual methods. It promises to become a valuable assistant once its execution accuracy improves.

- Use natural language prompts to generate detailed Salesforce data model plans.
- Agentforce excels at planning but may produce metadata with syntax errors requiring manual fixes.
- Deploy metadata incrementally to isolate errors rather than applying all fixes at once.

- Agentforce Vibes speeds up data model and permission set creation significantly compared to manual methods.
Image created by ChatGPT 5 based on a prompt from Bob Buzzard Introduction We all knew this was coming, right? Salesforce has long considered itself the cool kid in enterprise technology, so they were always going to jump on the vibe coding bandwagon. After reading the Salesforce Developers blog post on Agentforce Vibes I was keen to give it a go. I took the approach that I wanted the Agent to be truly autonomous, so my plan was to agree with everything it wanted to do, and then once everything was deployed to my org, I'd try it out and review everything at that point. This is how I'd work with a human junior assisting me, although I'd obviously be available to talk through their ideas if they wanted, which agents typically don't need. Setup Setup was as easy as it gets. I'm using VS Code and simply by switching to the Agent Dev view we were off and vibing. I spun up a scratch org, activated the MCP server for the Salesforce CLI, and then tried to figure out what to do with it.
