Platform Apex Generate

A comprehensive Apex authoring skill that enforces production patterns and safety rules across all class types,services, selectors, batches, triggers, REST resources, and more. It walks through an eight-step workflow from discovery to code analysis to test execution, with hard stops for common governor limit violations like SOQL in loops or missing sharing keywords. The built-in validation phase runs the code analyzer and executes tests before letting you move forward, which catches issues early but adds friction if you're just prototyping. Ships with templates and references for each pattern, defaults to API 66.0 and with sharing, and delegates all test work to a separate test-generation skill. Best for teams that want guardrails and consistency baked into the generation process.

Generating Apex

Use this skill for production-grade Apex: new classes, selectors, services, async jobs, invocable methods, and triggers; and for evidence-based review of existing .cls OR .trigger.

Required Inputs

Gather or infer before authoring:

Class type (service, selector, domain, batch, queueable, schedulable, invocable, trigger, trigger action, DTO, utility, interface, abstract, exception, REST resource)
Target object(s) and business goal
Class name (derive using the naming table below)
Net-new vs refactor/fix; any org/API constraints
Deployment targets (default to runSpecifiedTests and use generated tests where applicable)

Defaults unless specified:

Sharing: with sharing (see sharing rules per type below)
Access: public (use global only when required by managed packages or @RestResource)
API version: 66.0 (minimum version)
ApexDoc comments: yes
