Writing Apex classes, creating LWCs, testing, debugging, and deploying are all common tasks for developers who have worked with Salesforce for a while. Salesforce’s powerful tools have made life easier, but sometimes you still wish you had a teammate who could help you code more quickly, cleanly, and intelligently because they understand your code, your organization, and your intent.

Agentforce Vibes is the perfect solution for that. It is an extension for Visual Studio Code designed to be your AI-powered Salesforce coding partner. Since I just started using it, I must say that it has been a welcome change. It’s like having a Salesforce expert developer inside VS Code.

What Exactly Is Agentforce Vibes?

Agentforce Vibes isn’t your average code assistant. It is a sophisticated development assistant tailored to Salesforce that is aware of the context of your project, including your metadata, Apex code, LWC files, and even naming conventions.

It generates everything from LWCs (Lightning Web Components) and deployment scripts to Apex classes and test methods based on your plain English description. It’s just like having a conversation with someone that listens and writes production-ready Salesforce code.

One thing I found incredibly compelling was how simple it was to create invocable Apex classes with their relevant test coverage. Normally, I would spend a decent amount of time setting up “test data,” creating boilerplate code (the same for each class), and verifying that the system was ready for deployment. With Vibes, however, you simply specify your needs, and it takes care of the rest.

In VS Code, you can hover over the red underline to see an error and Agentforce will immediately offer a solution. It truly is like having a Salesforce specialist walk you through the coding process.

Installing Agentforce Vibes

It’s very easy to set up. Agentforce Vibes is available on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and can be installed similarly to other extensions.

A new Agentforce icon will appear in your sidebar after installation. When you click it, the Agentforce panel—your workspace for communicating with the AI—opens.

From there, there are two primary methods of communication:

• Use the @ symbol to add context (such as your organization, SObjects, files, or metadata).

• To execute commands, use the / symbol →

• Among the useful default commands are:
• To generate a new rule based on your ongoing work, use the /newrule command.
• • /newchat – to initiate a fresh AI dialogue with the context of your ongoing project.
• If you experience any doubts with the tool. please report bugs using, /reportbug. The unique combination of commands and context-awareness makes vibes feel more like a coding co-pilot than a tool.

Why Agentforce Vibes Stands Out

Vibes understands your context.

It projects more than just a “generic” code generator. After looking through your organization’s files and data and also your metadata and schema, it builds things to your specification. For example, if you ask vibe to build a new LWC for capturing lead details it would have automatically mimicked my folder structure and naming conventions in its output.

Fast LWC Creation.

You just tell Vibes what you’d like it to build, and it will create the whole setup for you HTML/JS/CSS, and if need be the apex controller logic. It will also create deployment scripts and test classes. Tasks that last week would take us hours, now to meet, take 10 or 15 minutes.

Clever Error Fixes

In VS Code, you can hover the error to see if it is an Apex or LWC error, instead of searching for it online or checking documentation. Agentforce provides an instant fix for you. It is fast, and I have used it many times for missing imports and variable name mismatches.

Commands in Natural Language

You can actually speak to it, which is one of my favorite features. For example, “Create a trigger on Account to update the LastActivityDate.”

• “Make this Apex method simpler.”
• “Create a LWC to record Name, Email, and Phone.”
• It interprets your intent and generates clear, deployable code.

Communication with MCP and Salesforce DX Agentforce

Vibes uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to communicate securely with your Salesforce organization. This means that it can run queries, view files and deploy changes without the need for CLI commands.

My Own Agentforce Vibes Workflow

I’ve been utilizing it in my daily work in the following ways:

• Click the Agentforce Vibes icon in Visual Studio Code.
• Use @ — to add context. For instance, link the Salesforce organization or folder I’m working on.
• To begin a new session and explain my task in plain English, use /newchat.
• It creates the files, test classes, and deployment scripts in a matter of seconds.
• I hover over any errors that show up and use the recommended solution.

The finest aspect? In addition to being functional, the generated code is also deployable and ready for testing. I would have otherwise spent hours manually creating test data and deployment commands, but it has saved me time.

Examples of How You Can Use Context

When used with context, Agentforce Vibes becomes even more potent. For instance, you can link: 

• A file, folder, or SObject for reference by typing @.
• A Git issue or commit.
• An external data URL.
• A list of your project’s “Problems” for focused debugging.

Additionally, you can use the same interface to carry out structured commands like reporting bugs, chatting with the agent, or creating new rules by typing /.

It’s a very well-considered workflow that facilitates and unifies development.

Why Developers Should Care

Agentforce Vibes is an incredible opportunity that will really improve your workflow when integrated with Salesforce. Here’s why:

• It is fast: You can develop complete Apex classes, LWCs, and tests in minutes.
• It’s standardized: Itnatively follows Salesforce best practice.
• It eliminates errors: The inline fixes reduce your debugging time.
• It deploys easily: It even submits your code for you.
• It’s an easy learning curve: If you are new to Salesforce development it teaches you best practices in realtime.

Conclusion

The next major step in Salesforce development appears to be Agentforce Vibes. It accelerates the creative side of coding while erasing the repetitive parts that let you focus on building good solutions, which is what matters.

From my experience, it’s simply easy, trustworthy, and intuitive. Installation in Visual Studio Code is a matter of minutes, and it is just so easy to use it.

As a developer looking to get work done faster, or as someone experimenting with an AI enabled development tool, take a look at Agentforce Vibes. It’s super sleek, simple to use, and extremely valuable. I’ll provide screenshots here shortly to show how it appears inside of VS Code.

I’ve already fit this into my daily trajectory, and I can see this tool quickly becoming a staple in the tool belt of any Salesforce developer.
