# Expand the Salesforce Development Plugin with Specialized Capabilities and Guided Workflows

Bring capabilities into Salesforce Development when your project requires features beyond the core plugin. Open a project and describe your task. Guided workflows combine AI Skills, Salesforce CLI, hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, agents, hooks, and commands to help you build, test, and deploy. You approve each recommended plugin installation and review the proposed changes before applying them.

**Where:** This change applies to the Salesforce Development plugin for Claude Code on the command line and in Claude Code integrations that can access your Salesforce DX project. Install the plugin from [Anthropic's official Claude Plugin Marketplace](https://claude.com/plugins/salesforce-development). The Salesforce Development plugin isn't currently available for Codex.

**Who:** Salesforce Developers. Direct access to the plugin requires Salesforce Foundations or an Agentforce license. Salesforce classifies plugin calls made through a coding agent as Builder usage and applies a billing exception.

**How:** Open a Salesforce DX project and describe your task. The Salesforce Development plugin uses project and prompt context to recommend a specialized plugin when the task requires capabilities beyond the core plugin. Review the plugin source and capabilities. Then approve the installation. Run `/reload-plugins` and enter continue to resume your task. To search for plugins directly, run `/salesforce-development:discover plugins SEARCH_TEXT`.

As you use guided workflows, review proposed file changes, metadata operations, and deployment targets before you approve them. For installation and usage details, see [Install the Salesforce Development Plugin](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-skills-plugins/guide/install-salesforce-development) and [Build, Test, and Deploy with the Salesforce Development Plugin](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-skills-plugins/guide/use-salesforce-development).

For version-by-version changes, see the [Salesforce Development plugin changelog](https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/blob/main/plugins/builder/salesforce-development/CHANGELOG.md).
