# Help Agent — Setup Spec
> **Who this is for.** You're a Salesforce admin standing up the Help Agent. You will *run* the setup flow (a guided, checkpoint-by-checkpoint conversation) and you need to *understand* the agent that gets built — its topics, subagents, and what it's allowed to do — so you can review it in Agentforce Builder and explain it to stakeholders. You are **not** hand-authoring the `.agent` YAML: the skills generate that from the canonical script in [`references/agent-script.md`](../references/agent-script.md). Read that script for comprehension when you reach agent creation (after Checkpoint 2), not to edit it block-by-block.
> **How to read this file.** §1–§2 tell you what you're building and its shape at a glance. §3 is the global voice/behavior. §4 is the execution flow you'll walk the user through — readiness, then four checkpoints. Reference details (placeholders, package deps, deployment target) live in §5–§6 right where the flow needs them or as a short appendix. §7 points to the full canonical agent script (`references/agent-script.md`), which you load only at agent-creation time. **Progressive disclosure:** the large or conditional pieces — the agent script and each channel branch — live in `references/` and are read only when the flow reaches them, so this file stays small in context.
---
## 1. What this is and why it exists
Create a Salesforce Agentforce Service Agent ("help agent") in the connected org with the shape and behavior described in the agent script (§7), then expose it on a customer-facing Experience Cloud site via an embedded chat widget.
This file is the spec for the Help Agent we're building. The accompanying Claude Code prompt will simply reference this file ("create an agent out of the spec I have created here in `assets/help-agent-spec.md`"). Use the skills under `.claude/skills/` — do **not** author a new Help Agent skill. The relevant skills in this repo are `agentforce-generate` (agent authoring + Agentforce Data Library provisioning/grounding, in its `references/data-library-reference.md` and `references/org-setup-for-adl.md`), `dx-org-permission-set-assign`, `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` (initial Queue-routed channel setup and activation), `service-agentforce-channel-configure` (replaces the initial routing with the agent binding — fallback queue + `sessionHandlerAsa`), `service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure`, `experience-lwr-site-generate`, and `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` (widget placement + embed, used in Checkpoint 4). The spec is custom data feeding standard skills, not a new skill itself.
**Why the spec, not an API.** Salesforce's official Help Agent template-creation API is not yet shipped. Without that API, you (Claude) have no built-in concept of "Help Agent" and would otherwise generate a generic agent. This file substitutes for the missing API: the agent script in §7 is the canonical template that the eventual Quick Start UI will produce. Treat it as the source-of-truth shape — the agent you build should have the same lineage (topics, actions, instructions) as the agent that template would create.
**In scope:**
- Knowledge-grounded Q&A using Salesforce Knowledge, uploaded files (file-based Agentforce Data Library), or website-sourced content.
- Case management — create new cases on behalf of the customer and report on existing cases.
## 2. Agent shape at a glance
The agent is one front-door **router** that hands off to **four subagents**. In plain language:
- **Agent Router** *(front door)* — greets the customer, reads their intent, and routes to the right subagent. It's the only entry point; there is no separate topic selector.
- **Service Customer Verification** — confirms who the customer is (via an emailed verification code) before anything sensitive happens. Anything touching orders, cases, account details, or personal data goes through here first. Once verified in a session, the customer isn't re-verified.
- **General FAQ** — answers company/product/policy questions by searching Knowledge articles (grounded on the Agentforce Data Library). If the customer actually wants a case created, or if the knowledge search itself fails, it routes to verification → case management instead of dead-ending.
- **Case Management** — creates new support cases, looks up existing cases, and adds comments — all for a *verified* customer.
- **Escalation** — hands off to a live human agent when asked; if no human is available, it falls back to creating a support case.
Routing rules the sysadmin should know:
- Verification gates the sensitive paths. `isVerified` is the switch: while `False`, the router sends sensitive/case work to **Verification**; once `True`, straight to **Case Management**.
- **FAQ** and **Escalation** are reachable without verification (answering a policy question or asking for a human doesn't require identity).
- Both **FAQ** and **Escalation** have the same safety net: a failed action (empty knowledge search, no human available) becomes an *offer to create a case*, not a dead end.
Each of these maps to a block in §7 — the router is `start_agent agent_router`, and the four subagents are `subagent ServiceCustomerVerification / GeneralFAQ / CaseManagement / Escalation`. The agent script defines all of them; build the agent as-written and don't surgically drop topics — the script is the source of truth for shape.
---
## 3. Global behavioral rules (apply throughout the flow)
**Persona for all user-facing prompts.** When you ask the user anything during this setup, speak as a **calm, patient, friendly service agent** — first-person, warm, never robotic. Short sentences. One question (or one tight group of related questions) per checkpoint. Acknowledge each answer before moving on ("Great, got it." / "Perfect — moving on."). Never dump a wall of options without context. This is a guided conversation, not a form.
**No unexplained acronyms in user-facing text.** Customers are not expected to know Salesforce internal jargon. Terms like **ADL** (Agentforce Data Library), **ESD** (Embedded Service Deployment), **PS/PSL** (Permission Set / Permission Set License), **MIAW** (Messaging for In-App and Web), **ASA** (Agentforce Service Agent), **JWT** (JSON Web Token), **RAG** (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and similar shorthand may appear internally in this spec and in skill logic, but **must be either expanded on first use or replaced with a plain-language description** when shown to the user. Prefer plain-language descriptions (e.g. "Knowledge library that grounds the agent's answers") over acronym-with-expansion when possible. If you find yourself typing an acronym into a user-facing message, stop and rewrite.
**Interactive, never one-shot.** This setup mirrors the Help Agent Quick Setup wizard. Walk the user through **four checkpoints**, in order. At each checkpoint, ask the questions, **wait for the user's reply**, confirm what you heard, then proceed. Do not move to the next checkpoint without explicit user input.
---
## 4. Execution flow
The checkpoints below are both the conversation you run *and* the order the underlying work executes in. Each checkpoint states what it provisions and links to the script block (§7) it fills.
### 4.0 Readiness check (silent, before Checkpoint 1)
Before Checkpoint 1, silently run a **readiness check**. **THIS PHASE IS MANDATORY. Run the steps in exactly the order below — reordering fails with a concrete, unambiguous error, and previous runs have wasted cycles on it. Specifically, running step 3 (permission-set assignment) before step 2 (Data Cloud enablement) fails with:**
> `PermissionSet not found: GenieUserEnhancedSecurity`
The Data Cloud permission sets *do not exist in the org* until Data Cloud is turned on in step 2. If you see that exact error, you (or a prior run) skipped ahead — go back to step 2 and confirm Data Cloud is enabled before retrying step 3.
**Step 1 — Detect.** Use `agentforce-generate` (feature/Data-Cloud detection lives in its `references/org-setup-for-adl.md` Step 0) to verify: Agentforce, Einstein Generative AI, Knowledge, Experience Cloud, **and Data Cloud** are enabled. Verify the running user has the licenses/permissions/SKUs needed for Agentforce + Embedded Messaging + Experience Cloud.
**Step 2 — Enable anything missing.** If any of the features above are off (especially **Data Cloud** — it's the most commonly disabled and it's the one that gates step 3), enable them via `agentforce-generate` before doing anything else. If something is missing and cannot be enabled, surface the gap to the user clearly and stop. **Do not proceed to step 3 until every required feature is confirmed enabled** — re-run detection if needed to confirm.
> **If Data Cloud is not yet provisioned, offer the user a choice up front.** Data Cloud provisioning can be enabled programmatically (`CustomerDataPlatformSettings.enableCustomerDataPlatform: true` — see `agentforce-generate/references/org-setup-for-adl.md`) but the underlying platform work takes time to finish in the background. Give the user two options before proceeding: (a) enable Data Cloud now and pause the flow — they can come back and resume once provisioning completes; (b) wait through it in this session, which may take some minutes. Do not silently block on provisioning without asking.
**Step 3 — CRITICAL/MANDATORY: Assign the Data Cloud permission sets immediately after step 2 completes.** This step is non-negotiable and must run the moment enablement finishes — do not defer it, do not batch it with Checkpoint 1, do not skip it because "the org looks fine." Skipping it ships a broken agent: grounding returns empty `knowledgeSummary` results at runtime even though ADL indexing reports SUCCESS. This is a hard prerequisite for Knowledge grounding, not optional polish.
Both the **running user** (so they can configure the Agentforce Data Library) and the **Einstein Agent User** (so the agent's retriever returns results at runtime) need Data Cloud access. Defer to `agentforce-generate` for this: it resolves the Einstein Agent User, assigns the required Data Cloud permission set and license, and verifies the assignment stuck. Do not resolve the user or assign permission sets by hand here.
Note: the Data Space scope on that permission set is a separate UI-only step that cannot be automated — that's handled reactively in Checkpoint 4 Phase A (Check 2) if grounded queries still return empty after ADL indexing completes.
### 4.1 Checkpoint 1 — Meet Your Agent
*Provisions:* the placeholder values wired into the script's `config`, `system`, and `language` blocks (§7). *Fills:* `<agent_label_placeholder>`, `<developer_name_placeholder>`, `<agent_welcome_message_placeholder>`, `<agent_tone_placeholder>`, `<gc:languageSettings_language>`.
Ask the user for four things (you can ask together):
1. **Agent Name** — used for both the user-facing label (`<agent_label_placeholder>`) and the API/developer name (`<developer_name_placeholder>`; sanitize to alphanumeric + underscore, no leading digit). Offer the user two options: accept the default **`Help Agent`**, or type a name of their own choosing. Do not present a list of alternative names — just the default vs. custom.
2. **Language** — used for `language: default_locale` (`<gc:languageSettings_language>`). Default suggestion: `en_US` (English).
3. **Welcome Greeting** — used for `<agent_welcome_message_placeholder>`. Suggest a neutral default the user can accept or override (e.g. *"Hi, I'm {Agent Name}. How can I help you today?"*).
4. **Tone** — used for `<agent_tone_placeholder>`. Ask the user how they want the agent to sound when speaking with customers. They can describe it in their own words (e.g. *"friendly and casual, like a knowledgeable friend"*, *"formal and precise, like a banking concierge"*, *"playful, upbeat, brand-forward"*) or accept the default: *"calm, patient, friendly service agent — warm but professional, short sentences, never robotic."* Keep the captured tone string to one or two sentences — long persona prose competes with action-routing instructions and degrades tool-calling reliability. Tone affects *how* the agent speaks, not *what* it's allowed to do; the verification, PII, and case-management rules in the subagent reasoning blocks are not overridable by tone.
### 4.2 Checkpoint 2 — Give Your Agent Context (grounding)
*Provisions:* an Agentforce Data Library, then wires its `rag_feature_config_id` into the script's `knowledge:` block (§7). *Fills:* `<rag_feature_config_id>`.
**Before asking** — run `sf agent adl list --target-org $ORG` to see what ADLs already exist. Then present all options via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Each existing ADL with a ready status** — list as *"Use existing library: {name} ({status})"*. Include only libraries with `indexingStatus ∈ {COMPLETED, READY, SUCCESS}`; skip `NOT_SCHEDULED` entries (they never indexed and will produce empty grounding at runtime).
- **Salesforce Knowledge** — create a new library grounded on existing Knowledge articles, filtered by Data Category.
- **Upload Files** — create a new library grounded on files the user provides.
- **Website Sync** *[Coming soon]* — fetch content from a public website.
Do not assume any existing ADL is the right one — the user must explicitly choose. Do not default to reusing a library that happens to share the expected name.
**CRITICAL — Wait for the user's selection before proceeding.** The `AskUserQuestion` above is a gate: you must receive the user's explicit reply before asking any follow-up questions. Do NOT ask about Data Category Groups, file paths, website URLs, or anything else in the same turn as the source-selection question. The user answers first; then you branch. If the user's reply names a grounding source other than "Salesforce Knowledge", do NOT ask about Data Categories at all — not now, not as a clarifying question, not as part of a combined question. Data Category questions are ONLY appropriate after the user has explicitly selected "Salesforce Knowledge."
Then, depending on selection:
- **If Salesforce Knowledge:** query the org for available Data Category Groups (and their categories) and **list them to the user**. Ask which specific categories the agent should ground on. Do not assume "all." Wire the selection into the ADL configuration.
- **If Upload Files:** ask the user to paste the file name (or file path) they want to upload. **After each file is submitted, present a selection prompt (e.g. via `AskUserQuestion`) with these options:**
- **Upload another file** — collect the next file path and repeat.
- **Done — proceed with these N files** — move on to ADL provisioning.
Do not ask a yes/no question ("do you want to upload another?") — the user shouldn't have to type "yes" just to add another file. The selection itself is the action. Loop until the user picks "Done", then provision a file-based Agentforce Data Library with the full collected list.
- **If Website Sync:** ask the user for the website URL to fetch content from. Configure the data library to sync that URL.
The `rag_feature_config_id` returned by ADL provisioning gets wired into the agent script's `knowledge:` block — do not hardcode.
> **CRITICAL — Always create a fresh, named ADL for this agent — do not reuse `All_Records_and_Fields_Default`.** Every org ships with a stock library named `All Records and Fields (Default)` (DeveloperName `All_Records_and_Fields_Default`). It shows up in `sf agent adl list` with a valid `libraryId` and a `rag_feature_config_id` can be derived from it — but on trial or preloaded sample-data orgs it is typically stuck in `NOT_SCHEDULED` state and never actually indexes any content. Wiring the agent to that library produces empty `knowledgeSummary` at runtime even though the ID is valid and the platform reports no error.
>
> The right behavior: create a dedicated `Help_Agent_Knowledge` library at Checkpoint 2 (idempotent on DeveloperName — reuse only if it already exists AND its `indexingStatus.status ∈ {COMPLETED, READY, SUCCESS}`). Poll with `sf agent adl status --library-id <id>` and only wire the ID into the agent script's `knowledge:` block once the status is one of those terminal-success values. `NOT_SCHEDULED` is NOT a success signal — treat it as "must recreate."
> **`rag_feature_config_id` format.** The ID looks like `ARFPC_<libraryId>`, where `<libraryId>` is the 18-character ID returned by `adl create`. Note: `adl get` does NOT return a field named `ragFeatureConfigId` — the value only surfaces in the `adl publish` error message on a failed publish, and the format is documented in `references/agent-script.md`. If you can't find the value, run the publish once against a placeholder and read the ID out of the error, or construct it as `ARFPC_` + the library ID from `adl create`.
> **Knowledge ADL primary-index and content fields (read before configuring a Knowledge ADL).** Two related constraints — both silently break grounding if you get them wrong:
>
> 1. **`--primary-index-field1` and `--primary-index-field2` on `adl create` accept only *standard* KnowledgeArticleVersion fields** (`Title`, `Summary`, `Body`, `UrlName`, etc.). Custom `__c` fields on `Knowledge__kav` are rejected by the ADL API even though `Apex describeFields` confirms they exist. Use `Title` and `Summary` as the primary index fields.
> 2. **`--content-fields` on `adl update` also rejects custom `__c` fields** on `Knowledge__kav` in some org shapes — inspect the API response after `adl update` and fall back to standard rich-text fields (e.g. `Body`) if a custom field is rejected. **Do not list `Title` or `Summary` as content fields** either — the API rejects overlap with the primary index (`OVERLAPPING_CONTENT_FIELD`).
>
> **Pick body fields by inspection, not by name.** Query the org's `Knowledge__kav` schema and identify the rich-text body fields that actually contain article content (rich-text or long-text-area fields; describe the object and look for fields with type `TextArea` / `LongTextArea` and Length > 4000). Ask the user which one(s) hold the article body. Common patterns on Salesforce-shipped Knowledge configurations include `FAQ_Answer__c`, `KCSArticle_Issue__c`, and `KCSArticle_Resolution__c` — but these are conventions, not guarantees, and are not present on every org. Never assume a field name; inspect first. If the body-field set is wrong, grounded queries return empty results even though indexing reports SUCCESS.
**After Checkpoint 2, create the agent.** With placeholders (CP1) and `rag_feature_config_id` (CP2) in hand, create the agent per §7, then publish and activate it by deferring to `agentforce-generate` — it owns the publish/activate lifecycle, including the retry-on-transient-failure path. Do not hand-roll publish/activate here.
**Before passing the agent script to `agentforce-generate`, substitute `<default_agent_user_placeholder>` with the Einstein Agent User username captured in the readiness check (step 1): `{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext`.** Do this substitution explicitly in the script text — never pass the literal placeholder string to the skill. If the username was not captured or is unclear, re-derive it as `{agentDevName}_user@{15-char-orgId}.ext` using `sf org display --target-org $ORG` to get the org Id.
### 4.3 Checkpoint 3 — Add to Channels
*Provisions (Web Chat path):* a messaging channel initially configured, deployed, and activated with Queue routing via `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure`, then rewired to the agent via `service-agentforce-channel-configure` (same fallback queue + `sessionHandlerAsa`), a new Embedded Service Deployment (`Help Chat`), and optionally a prepared LWR Experience Cloud site. The agent script (§7) does not change here — this is channel/site metadata around the agent.
**Step 1 — Discover what channels exist in the org, then present channel types.**
Query existing MessagingChannels. Note: `MessagingChannelType` is **not** a SOQL field — get names via SOQL, then retrieve metadata to determine type:
```bash
# Get channel names
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel FROM MessagingChannel ORDER BY MasterLabel"
# Retrieve all channel metadata to read <messagingChannelType> from each XML
sf project retrieve start --metadata "MessagingChannel" --target-org $ORG
# Extract types
grep -rh "messagingChannelType" force-app/main/default/messagingChannels/
```
Classify by `<messagingChannelType>` value: `EmbeddedMessaging` → Web Chat; `PstnVoice`/`InternalVoice` → Phone; `WhatsApp`/`AppleBusinessChat` → WhatsApp; `Sms` → SMS.
Use the results to determine which channel types to surface. Always show:
- **Web Chat** (create new, or add to any existing `EmbeddedMessaging` channels)
- **Help Portal** (create new Agentforce Concierge experience on an LWR site)
Show these only if the org has existing channels of that type:
- **Voice** — only if `PstnVoice` channels exist (this skill does not provision a new phone number). Detect native vs partner: extract digits from DeveloperName (`VOICE_PSTN_{digits}`), query `CommunicationChannelLine WHERE DeveloperName='DEV_{digits}'` via Tooling API. A row returned = native SCV (wiring supported); 0 rows = partner voice (wiring not supported — show but surface the limitation). See `service-agentforce-channel-configure`'s `channel-types.md` reference for detection steps.
- **WhatsApp** — if any WhatsApp channels exist
- **SMS** — if any Sms channels exist
Present the channel types via `AskUserQuestion` (multiSelect: true) **only when there are 4 or fewer types to show** — `AskUserQuestion` caps at 4 options per question, and pagination doesn't work for a multi-select choice (there is no way to select one item from page 1 and another from page 2 in a single answer). Label each with how many existing channels of that type are in the org (e.g. "Voice — 2 existing channels"), so the user knows what they'd be choosing from.
**If there are more than 4 types to show:** do not paginate. List every type in plain text (with its existing-channel count) and ask the user to type their selection(s) as a comma-separated list, e.g. "Web Chat, WhatsApp, SMS". Validate each typed name case-insensitively against the listed types, and confirm the resolved set back to the user before proceeding to Step 2. This is a deliberate exception to the general Long-list presentation rules pagination pattern — it applies specifically to this multi-select type list, not to single-select instance lists (sites, queues, ADLs, or the "which existing channel of this type" list in Step 2).
**Step 2 — For each selected channel type, ask: new or existing?**
After the user picks channel type(s), for each one ask a follow-up via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Web Chat:** "Create a new Web Chat channel" OR list each existing `EmbeddedMessaging` channel as *"Add agent to: {MasterLabel}"*
- **Help Portal:** "Create a new Help Portal" — delegate to `service-concierge-portal-generate`.
- **Voice:** list each existing `PstnVoice` channel as *"Add agent to: {MasterLabel}"* — read [`references/channel-voice.md`](references/channel-voice.md) and follow it fully.
- **WhatsApp / SMS:** list each existing MessagingChannel as *"Add agent to: {MasterLabel}"*. "Create a new [type] channel" is NOT offered.
**Step 3 — Branch by selection.**
- **New Web Chat channel** → read [`references/channel-web-chat.md`](references/channel-web-chat.md) and follow it fully (domain, `authMode`, channel + ESD + site provisioning).
- **New Help Portal** → delegate to `service-concierge-portal-generate`, passing `$ORG`, `$BOT_ID`, and `$BOT_DEV_NAME`. **Immediately after that skill returns, capture its `PUBLISHED_PORTAL_URL` return value and store it as `$PORTAL_URL`. Then run Step 4 (the channel-add loop) before doing anything else — do NOT advance to Checkpoint 4 yet.**
- **Existing channel (any type, including Voice/WhatsApp/SMS)** → delegate wiring to `service-agentforce-channel-configure`, passing the agent DeveloperName and the selected channel's DeveloperName. That skill owns queue resolution, routing flow, and agent wiring for existing channels.
**Outbound escalation runs here, not at Checkpoint 4.** Immediately after inbound wiring is confirmed for a Web Chat or Voice branch (Branches A/B of `service-agentforce-channel-configure`), invoke that skill's Phase 3 (ask the user whether to configure outbound escalation; if yes, resolve the queue, create/reuse the RoutingFlow, add the connection block, republish) as part of the same delegated call — do not defer any part of it to Checkpoint 4. This is a single atomic unit owned by that skill; do not split flow-creation from connection-wiring across checkpoints.
Handle each selected channel branch independently. If one branch fails, report it and continue with the others — do not abort the whole setup.
**Step 4 — After EACH channel branch completes, immediately ask if the user wants to add another channel. This is the next thing you do — before Checkpoint 4, before any summary, before anything else.**
After each branch (success or failure), present via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Add another [same type] channel** — e.g. if the user just wired a Phone channel, default to showing remaining unwired Phone channels first. Re-run Step 2 for that type. Skip channels already wired in this session.
- **Add a different channel type** — return to Step 1 (re-query `MessagingChannel`, rebuild the type list, omit already-wired channels from the options).
- **Done — proceed to go-live** — exit the loop and advance to Checkpoint 4.
Track which channels have been wired in this session so they are not re-offered. The loop continues until the user selects "Done" or all available channels have been wired.
### 4.4 Checkpoint 4 — Review & Go Live
Once the user exits the Checkpoint 3 channel loop ("Done"), run Checkpoint 4 in two phases. There is no separate numbered checkpoint between channel setup and go-live — Phase A below is what used to be "Checkpoint 3.5"; it now lives inside Checkpoint 4 because it runs at the same point in the flow and Checkpoint 4 is where verification belongs.
#### Phase A — Silent pre-flight (INTERNAL — never announce)
**Do NOT announce this phase, do NOT print a "running checks" message, do NOT tell the user it exists.** Run these three checks, in order, silently; only surface output if a check FAILS, and only then to explain the specific fix needed before proceeding to Phase B.
**Check 1 — Data Cloud access is in place for both the running user and the Einstein Agent User.** Re-confirm the Data Cloud grounding prerequisites by deferring to `agentforce-generate` (the same gate used in the readiness phase). If it reports the access is missing or was changed out-of-band, re-run that gate; if it still fails, surface the specific missing user/permset and stop — do not proceed to Phase B.
**Check 2 — Agentforce Data Library is Activated AND grounded.** Using the `rag_feature_config_id` captured during Checkpoint 2:
- Confirm the library is indexed and ready by deferring to `agentforce-generate`, which owns the readiness gate. Do not poll it here.
- Execute a canary grounded retrieval query against the library (e.g. a generic term likely to hit at least one indexed article, such as `"help"` or `"return"`). Confirm the response contains a non-empty `knowledgeSummary` / retrieval-results array. An empty result here — even with status=SUCCESS — is the classic silent-failure signature and means the Data Space scope or the Einstein Agent User's Data Cloud assignment is broken.
- If the library is not Activated: activate it and re-check.
- If retrieval returns empty despite SUCCESS status: surface the **Known manual step** (Data Space scope on the permission set) to the user verbatim, wait for confirmation that they've completed it in Setup, then re-run the canary query. Do not proceed to Phase B with an empty retrieval.
> **Known manual step — Data Space scope for the Einstein Agent User.** When grounding is configured (Knowledge ADL), the Einstein Agent User needs Data Cloud access for the ADL retriever to return content. The `agentforce-generate` skill's setup assigns the required permission set (e.g. `GenieUserEnhancedSecurity`) and PSL (`GenieDataPlatformStarterPsl`) automatically. **However, the Data Space scope on that permission set is a UI-only assignment** — there's no API to grant it. If grounded queries return empty `knowledgeSummary` after ADL indexing completes, pause the flow and instruct the user to:
> 1. Setup → Permission Sets → **Data Cloud User** (`GenieUserEnhancedSecurity`)
> 2. Open the assignment for the Einstein Agent User → **Data Space Access** → add the default Data Space → Save
>
> Then resume validation. Do not attempt to publish the agent until a grounded test query returns non-empty `knowledgeSummary`.
**Check 3 — The MessagingChannel is Active.** Fetch the MessagingChannel back from the org and assert its status is `Active` (not `Inactive`/`Draft`). `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` activates the initially Queue-routed channel after deployment; `service-agentforce-channel-configure` then replaces that routing with the agent binding. `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` does **not** own activation, so verify that the Agentforce routing deploy preserved the active state rather than assuming widget placement activated it. If the channel is not Active, activate it (the agent must already be Active) and re-fetch to confirm the status flipped. If it still won't activate, surface the specific channel and stop — do not proceed to Phase B with an inactive channel. **This is the only place in the flow that checks or sets channel-active state — Phase B does not repeat it.**
Only after all three checks pass silently, move to Phase B.
#### Phase B — Explicit go-live steps (narrated to the user)
1. Tell the user the agent is built, and **link them to Agentforce Builder** for this agent so they can review the agent definition, subagents, and topics.
2. **For the Web Chat / Help Portal path, verify the V2 Embedded Messaging widget is placed on the site — do not re-inject it here.** Placement already happened in Checkpoint 3, Step C.5 of `references/channel-web-chat.md`, which delegates to `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` the moment the user picks a real Experience Cloud site. This step is a verification, not a repeat of that work: retrieve the ExperienceBundle for the target site (`sf project retrieve start --metadata "ExperienceBundle:<SiteName>"`), confirm all six `componentAttributes` keys (`clientVersion`, `deploymentName`, `hideChatButtonOnLoad`, `isExpSiteAuthMode`, `scrtUrl`, `siteEndpoint`) are present on `experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging` in `homeGuestLayout.json` (and `homeAuthenticated.json` if signed-in visitors are expected), then open the live customer URL in an incognito browser and confirm the floating chat launcher renders. Do NOT use `curl | grep` — the launcher mounts at runtime and is absent from server-rendered HTML, so a curl check always reports "missing" and misleads the diagnosis.
**This verification does not apply to the own-website deployment path** (Step C.5's "I'll embed it on my own website" branch) — that path has no Salesforce-owned site layout to check; the customer embeds the Setup → Embedded Service Deployments → Get Code snippet on their own pages instead (see Step D.8 of `references/channel-web-chat.md`).
**If verification fails** — the componentAttributes are missing, incomplete, or the launcher doesn't render — run the repair procedure below. This is the same procedure Step C.5 should have already run; only re-run it because something went wrong the first time (e.g. a prior deploy dropped attributes, or a `configurationName`-shaped node survived from an older run).
1. **Retrieve the ExperienceBundle for the target site** to a scratch directory: `sf project retrieve start --metadata "ExperienceBundle:<SiteName>"`.
2. **Resolve the values the component needs:**
- `deploymentName` — the ESD's DeveloperName, e.g. `HelpChat` (from Step C.3).
- `siteEndpoint` — the ESD's own auto-generated site URL. Query `SELECT Name, UrlPathPrefix FROM Site WHERE Name LIKE 'ESW_<DeploymentName>%'`; there will be two rows — pick the one whose `UrlPathPrefix` does **not** end in `vforcesite` (the vforcesite variant is the internal preview endpoint, not the customer-facing one). Build the endpoint as `https://<myDomainStem>.my.site.com/<UrlPathPrefix>`.
- `scrtUrl` — the org's SCRT domain. Take the org's instance URL from `sf org display --json` and replace `.my.salesforce.com` with `.my.salesforce-scrt.com`.
- `isExpSiteAuthMode` — `false` for public/anonymous visitors (matches the MessagingChannel `authMode: UnAuth` chosen in Step B of `channel-web-chat.md`); `true` only if the channel is `Auth`-mode.
3. **Inject or overwrite the `experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging` component in the site's home layout(s).** For a public site the guest layout is required; for authenticated visitors add the same node to `homeAuthenticated.json`. The component node MUST include `"type": "component"` at the top level (missing it fails deploy with *"You seem to be missing the property type"*). Set `componentAttributes` to exactly these six keys:
```json
{
"componentAttributes": {
"clientVersion": "WebV2",
"deploymentName": "HelpChat",
"hideChatButtonOnLoad": "Visible",
"isExpSiteAuthMode": false,
"scrtUrl": "https://<myDomainStem>.my.salesforce-scrt.com",
"siteEndpoint": "https://<myDomainStem>.my.site.com/ESW<DeploymentName><timestamp>"
},
"componentName": "experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging",
"id": "<uuid>",
"renderPriority": "NEUTRAL",
"renditionMap": {},
"type": "component"
}
```
Any older `configurationName`-shaped node from a previous run must be replaced, not merged — the platform silently drops `configurationName` and the node round-trips with `componentAttributes: {}`.
4. **Patch the ESD via the Tooling API to allow guest users (do not use Metadata API for this).** Metadata API rejects any update that touches the ESD's `site` field with an immutable-field error, even if you pass the current value unchanged. Use the Tooling REST API instead:
```http
PATCH /services/data/v67.0/tooling/sobjects/EmbeddedServiceConfig/<id>
{"Metadata": { ...all current Metadata fields..., "areGuestUsersAllowed": true, "clientVersion": "WebV2", "isEnabled": true }}
```
**Read the current `Metadata` first with a GET and include every field on the PATCH** — omitting a field (e.g. `clientVersion`, `branding`, `masterLabel`) nulls it out on write. Successful PATCH returns HTTP 204.
5. **Deploy the ExperienceBundle** back to the org: `sf project deploy start -m "ExperienceBundle:<SiteName>"`.
6. **Publish the site.** Use the site's **community name** (from `Network.Name`) — not the site's `Site.Name`. On some org shapes these can differ: e.g. `Site.Name = Consumer_Site1` but `Network.Name = "Consumer Site"`. Query `SELECT Name FROM Network WHERE Status = 'Live'` to get the community name, then `sf community publish -n "<CommunityName>"`. `sf community publish` returns immediately; poll `SELECT Status FROM BackgroundOperation WHERE Id='<jobId>'` and wait for `Complete`.
7. **Verify by retrieving the ExperienceBundle again and confirming all six `componentAttributes` keys survived the round-trip. Then verify the widget renders by opening the live customer URL in a guest browser.** Do NOT use `curl | grep` to check for the widget — the launcher mounts at runtime and is not present in the server-rendered HTML the raw GET returns, so a curl check will always report "missing" and lead to a wrong diagnosis. The check that matters: open `<customerSiteUrl>` in an incognito window and confirm the floating chat launcher (branded label like "Ask Me Anything") appears bottom-right. Only then does the widget count as placed.
**Placement scope: the widget is placed on the home layouts you inject the component into.** Unlike the bootstrap-in-`mainAppPage.json` approach (which was site-wide), the LWR-component approach is per-layout. If the user wants the widget on every page of the site, either add the component to each page's layout JSON or (simpler) drop it onto the site's site-wide template in Experience Builder. This is a deliberate tradeoff: metadata-component placement is more surgical but more work to fan out to every page than a headMarkup script would be.
**When to fall back to Experience Builder UI.** If the metadata round-trip in step 7 still shows attributes stripped after two retries — or if `sf community publish` reports errors — surface the problem to the user and direct them to place the component manually in Experience Builder (Setup → Digital Experiences → All Sites → Builder → drag *Embedded Messaging* onto the page → pick `HelpChat` from the *Deployment Name* dropdown → Publish). The UI is the authoritative fallback path; do not chase deploy failures indefinitely.
3. **Confirm the Escalation Flow is wired.** This was configured at Checkpoint 3 via `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Phase 3 (RoutingFlow creation, `connection customer_web_client:` block, republish) — not here. Just verify: `@utils.escalate` should transfer to the resolved queue when tested. If the user skipped Phase 3's escalation offer at Checkpoint 3 and now wants it, go back and run it there rather than hand-wiring it in this checkpoint.
4. **Verify the Embedded Service Deployment is published (V2, Version stamped).** If Step C.3 of `references/channel-web-chat.md` was followed correctly, the ESD was created *and* published in a single call via the Connect API `POST /services/data/v67.0/connect/embeddedmessaging/deployment/setup` (with `clientVersion: WebV2`) — that response includes `"isPublishSuccess": true` and no further publish step is needed. Verify the outcome by opening Setup → Embedded Service Deployments → **Help Chat** and checking:
- Title reads *"Embedded Service Deployment Settings - Web"* with **no `(v1)` suffix and no "Switch to V2" button**.
- Top-right shows *"Published on: {date}"* and *"Version: 1"* (not empty).
**If *Published on:* is blank even though the title reads *Web (v2)* and `IsEnabled=true`** — and especially if the Publish button shows a red *"Select a Messaging Channel and then try publishing again."* banner — the ESD was created **without a messaging channel bound** (the `deployment/setup` call omitted `messagingChannelId`). Delete the ESD (`sf project delete source -m EmbeddedServiceConfig:HelpChat`) and recreate via the Connect API path in Step C.4 **with `messagingChannelId` (and `hostDomain`) in the body**.
**If the Connect API itself returned `INTERNAL_ERROR`** and a Metadata API fallback was used instead, the ESD will not be auto-published. Attempt `POST /connect/embeddedmessaging/deployment/HelpChat/publish` to trigger publish programmatically. If that endpoint is also unavailable, surface the gap to the user: direct them to Setup → Embedded Service Deployments → Help Chat → Publish, and note the widget will not serve until *Published on:* is stamped.
**If the title still says `(v1)`**, the ESD was created via bare Metadata deploy without `clientVersion: WebV2`. Delete it and recreate via the Connect API path. An unpublished or V1 deployment never serves the widget to visitors, even when the channel is Active.
5. Confirm the agent is live. For the Help Portal path, print the live portal URL — use `$PORTAL_URL` captured when `service-concierge-portal-generate` returned. If `$PORTAL_URL` is not in context (e.g. after context compression), re-derive it: query `SELECT UrlPathPrefix FROM Site WHERE Name='<DEB site name>'` and build `https://<orgDomain>.my.site.com/<UrlPathPrefix>/`. Do NOT reconstruct the URL from the instance URL or the org slug — always derive it from the `Site` record. Then print the post-setup next steps from Step D.8 of `references/channel-web-chat.md`: the test URL (or embed snippet instructions for own-website deployments) and the four-item testing checklist. Stay in the conversation — offer to walk through the checklist together and ask if they want any adjustments before signing off.
---
## 5. Placeholders to fill in (script companion)
The canonical agent script contains several `<...>` placeholders (agent label, developer name, welcome message, tone, default agent user, `rag_feature_config_id`, locale). Most are captured in Checkpoint 1 / Checkpoint 2 above. The full list, with example values and where each comes from, lives alongside the script in [`references/agent-script.md`](../references/agent-script.md) — read it when you load the script (after Checkpoint 2).
## 6. Deployment target
Connect to whichever Salesforce org is currently authenticated. All resources (agent, ADL, channels, sites) are created in that org. Authenticate the target org before running the prompt.
---
## 7. Canonical agent script (Quick ASA Help Agent template)
The full canonical agent script — the source-of-truth shape for topics, subagents, actions, instructions, and grounding config — lives in [`references/agent-script.md`](../references/agent-script.md), together with the placeholder list (§5) and the agent-shape summary (§2).
**Load it only when you are ready to create the agent — after Checkpoint 2**, once the Checkpoint 1 placeholders and the `rag_feature_config_id` are in hand. It is comprehension-and-generation material, not part of the interactive conversation, so keeping it out of context during Checkpoints 1, 3, and 4 saves a large number of tokens. Where the script conflicts with anything in this spec, the behavioral rules in §3–§4 win.

# service-helpagent-coordinate
A Claude Code skill that stands up a **Service Cloud Help Agent** (Agentforce ASA)
end-to-end on a Salesforce org, following the guided four-checkpoint flow of the
Help Agent Quick Setup wizard.
This is a **`-coordinate`** skill (per sf-skills taxonomy): it orchestrates existing
skills against a canonical spec — it does **not** author a new agent primitive.
## What's here
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
| `SKILL.md` | The skill: scope, coordinated skills, and the four-checkpoint workflow |
| `assets/help-agent-spec.md` | The canonical Help Agent spec — the guided flow (source of truth), kept small |
| `references/agent-script.md` | The canonical agent script + placeholders; loaded only at agent-creation time |
| `references/channel-web-chat.md` | Web Chat channel provisioning detail; loaded only when Web Chat is chosen |
| `references/channel-voice.md` | Voice channel wiring detail (existing `PstnVoice` numbers only); loaded only when Voice is chosen |
| `references/output-report-format.md` | The two report shapes, templates, and scored-failure list; loaded when writing the final `report.md` |
Help Portal is delegated end-to-end to the sibling skill `service-concierge-portal-generate` — no per-channel reference file lives here for that branch.
The spec is split for **progressive disclosure**: the large agent script and the per-channel
branches live in `references/` and are read only when the flow reaches them, keeping the
always-loaded footprint small.
## Environment setup
Run these once per org before invoking the skill.
### Install and verify the tooling
```bash
claude --version
sf --version
```
Claude Code and the Salesforce CLI must both be installed.
### Activate MCP servers
Setup → Quick Find → **MCP Servers** (Integrations → API Catalog) → **Salesforce Servers** tab.
Activate all three: `metadata-experts`, `salesforce-api-context`, `sobject-reads`.
### Create an External Client App
Setup → **External Client App Manager** → **New External Client App**.
- **API (Enable OAuth Settings)** → Enable OAuth
- Callback URL: `http://localhost:8080/callback`
- Scopes: `Access Salesforce hosted MCP servers (mcp_api)` and `Perform requests at any time (refresh_token, offline_access)`
- **Security Settings**: uncheck *Require Secret for Web Server Flow* and *Require Secret for
Refresh Token Flow*; check *Issue JWT-based access tokens for named users* and *Enable PKCE
Extension for Authorization Code Flow*.
- Save → Settings → OAuth Settings → **Consumer Key and Secret** → copy the **Consumer Key**.
Claude Code is a public OAuth client — PKCE replaces the client secret. For the automated,
source-controlled ECA path (scopes + certificate/JWT), use the
`integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure` skill.
### Connect the CLI and register the MCP servers
```bash
sf org login web --alias <your-org-alias> --set-default
sf project generate --name help-agent --template standard
cd help-agent
```
Confirm the URL format on the `salesforce-api-context` server detail page — if it contains
`/sandbox/platform/`, substitute that for `/platform/` below. Replace `<CONSUMER_KEY>` with the
key from the ECA:
```bash
claude mcp add salesforce-api-context --transport http "https://api.salesforce.com/platform/mcp/v1/platform/salesforce-api-context" --callback-port 8080 --client-id <CONSUMER_KEY>
claude mcp add salesforce-metadata-experts --transport http "https://api.salesforce.com/platform/mcp/v1/platform/metadata-experts" --callback-port 8080 --client-id <CONSUMER_KEY>
claude mcp add sobject-reads --transport http "https://api.salesforce.com/platform/mcp/v1/platform/sobject-reads" --callback-port 8080 --client-id <CONSUMER_KEY>
claude mcp list
```
### Install Salesforce Skills
```bash
! npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills
```
Verify: `! ls .agents/skills/` and `! cat skills-lock.json`.
## Quick start
1. Complete **Environment setup** above.
2. Install this skill into your SFDX project:
```bash
! cp -R /path/to/service-helpagent-coordinate .agents/skills/service-helpagent-coordinate
```
3. In Claude Code:
```text
I want to add a help agent to my Salesforce org so customers can get answers to
common questions, manage their support cases, and reach a human agent when needed.
I want it accessible as a chat widget on our customer website.
```
The skill walks four checkpoints — identity → grounding → channel → go-live — waiting
for your input at each. Nothing is built without confirmation.
## Status
- Tested on orgs with Data Cloud not yet provisioned — the readiness check enables Data
Cloud (or hands off to the user to enable it) before proceeding. Any org shape that
supports Agentforce + Data Cloud + Experience Cloud works.
- Creates an **Agentforce Service Agent** on the `QuickASA__QuickASA` template shape.
This is the shape the eventual Help Agent Quick Start UI produces; treat it as the
Help Agent lineage even though the official template-creation API is not yet shipped.
## Troubleshooting
- **MCP servers not connecting** — confirm the Consumer Key and the platform-vs-sandbox URL against the server detail page.
- **"No Einstein Agent User found"** — ask Claude Code to create one; it runs the CLI + permission-set steps.
- **Publish fails "Internal Error, try again later"** — `default_agent_user` in the `.agent` file doesn't match an active Einstein Agent User:
```bash
sf data query --json -q "SELECT Username FROM User WHERE Profile.UserLicense.Name = 'Einstein Agent' AND IsActive = true"
```
- **OAuth doesn't redirect** — free port 8080 or pick another with `--callback-port` and update the ECA callback URL to match.
## Related
- ECA / OAuth setup skill: `integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure`
- Channel setup vs. final agent wiring: `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` deploys and
activates the MessagingChannel with initial Queue routing; `service-agentforce-channel-configure`
then replaces that routing with the agent binding (fallback queue + `sessionHandlerAsa`). This
skill coordinates both at Checkpoint 3.

# Canonical agent script (Quick ASA Help Agent template)
> **When to read this file.** Load it only when you are ready to **create the agent** — i.e. after Checkpoint 2, once you have the Checkpoint 1 placeholders and the `rag_feature_config_id` in hand. It is comprehension-and-generation material, not part of the interactive conversation, so it does not need to be in context during Checkpoint 1, Checkpoint 3, or Checkpoint 4.
**How to read this block.** This is the exact agent shape to build — the source of truth for topics, actions, instructions, and grounding configuration. You do **not** hand-edit it; the skills generate the `.agent` YAML from it. Read it to understand what the agent will *do*: `system`/`config`/`language`/`knowledge` set up the agent; `variables` are session state (note `isVerified` — the verification switch from the spec's §2); `start_agent agent_router` is the front door; each `subagent` block is one of the four subagents, with a `reasoning: instructions:` section (the natural-language policy that governs the subagent) and an `actions:` section (the concrete tools it can call, several backed by the managed-package flows from the spec's §4.0). Where it conflicts with anything in the spec, the behavioral rules in the spec's §3–§4 win.
## Placeholders to fill in
The script below contains several `<...>` placeholders. Replace them with concrete values before the agent is created — most are captured in Checkpoint 1 / Checkpoint 2 of the spec:
- **`<agent_welcome_message_placeholder>`** → a single human welcome line, e.g. *"Hi! I'm your help agent. I can answer questions about our products and help you with your support cases. How can I help today?"*
- **`<agent_tone_placeholder>`** → a one-to-two sentence description of the agent's voice, captured in Checkpoint 1. Injected into `system: instructions:` so it shapes every response. Default: *"calm, patient, friendly service agent — warm but professional, short sentences, never robotic."*
- **`<agent_label_placeholder>`** → user-facing label, e.g. *"Help Agent"*.
- **`<developer_name_placeholder>`** → API name. Use `HelpAgent_Demo` or similar valid Salesforce developer-name format (alphanumeric + underscore, no spaces, no leading digit).
- **`<default_agent_user_placeholder>`** → the dedicated Einstein Agent User created in the readiness check (step 1). Username is `{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext`. This is the user the agent runs as at runtime — do not substitute any other Einstein Agent User that happens to exist in the org.
- **`<rag_feature_config_id>`** (under `knowledge:`) → returned by `agentforce-generate` when the ADL is created. Wire it through; do not hardcode.
- **Format:** `ARFPC_<libraryId>` where `<libraryId>` is the 18-char Salesforce ID returned by `adl create`. The ID does **not** appear in `adl get` output — it only surfaces in the `adl publish` error message when a publish fails against a mismatched ID. If you need to reconstruct it manually, take the library ID from `adl create` and prefix it with `ARFPC_`. `agentforce-generate` already knows this shape; only reach for the manual form when debugging.
- **`<gc:languageSettings_language>`** (under `language: default_locale`) → the org's default locale, usually `en_US`. Resolve from org settings, do not hardcode.
## Agent shape at a glance
The agent is one front-door **router** that hands off to **seven subagents**:
- **Agent Router** *(front door)* — greets the customer, reads their intent, and routes to the right subagent. Uses `model_config: model: sfdc_ai__DefaultEinsteinHyperClassifier` for fast intent classification.
- **Customer Verification** — confirms who the customer is (via an emailed verification code) before anything sensitive happens. Once verified in a session, the customer isn't re-verified.
- **General FAQ** — answers company/product/policy questions by searching Knowledge articles (grounded on the ADL).
- **Case Management** — creates new support cases, looks up existing cases, and adds comments — all for a *verified* customer.
- **EscalationWithFeedback** — collects satisfaction feedback before handing off to a live agent; if no human is available, falls back to case creation.
- **FeedbackManager** — captures explicit user feedback (when user says "give feedback", "leave a review", etc.) and records it via `SubmitConversationFeedback`.
- **OffTopic** — redirects conversations that fall outside the agent's scope.
- **ambiguous_question** — prompts the user to clarify vague requests.
`isVerified` is the switch: while `False`, the router sends sensitive/case work to **CustomerVerification**; once `True`, straight to **Case Management**. Note: subagent was renamed from `ServiceCustomerVerification` to `CustomerVerification` in this template version. Build the agent as-written — do not surgically drop topics; the script is the source of truth for shape.

Sensitive data includes confidential, private, or security-protected information, such as business-critical data or personally identifiable information (PII)."
reasoning:
instructions: ->
| Your job is to authenticate the customer who has not yet been authenticated before granting access to any sensitive data. You will verify the customer using their email address or username. After verification is successful, don't repeat the process within the same session.
| Ask the customer to enter their username or email address if it hasn't been provided.
| Use the {!@actions.SendEmailVerificationCode} action to initiate the verification process. Use the username or email address provided by the customer as input "customerToVerify" for this action.
| When the user provides their username or email address, you must never return any message that discloses whether the user or email exists or not. The message must explicitly state the return data of the "verificationMessage" field in the {!@actions.SendEmailVerificationCode} action. For example: "If you have provided a valid email or username, you should receive a verification code to verify your identity. Please enter the code."
| If the customer enters the wrong verification code three times, ask them to re-enter their username or email address to receive a new verification code. This involves invoking the {!@actions.SendEmailVerificationCode} action again to initiate the verification process. This ensures that the customer cannot bypass the verification process after three unsuccessful attempts.
| Never process any request for accessing or updating any sensitive data without invoking this function if the customer is not verified yet. Maintain security in all interactions.
| Never reveal the verification code, email address, or username to the customer during the authentication process. Make sure that these details remain confidential and aren't displayed at any point.
| After the user is verified in a conversation session, switching to a different user isn't allowed under any circumstances.
| Whenever the user submits any short numeric or alphanumeric string during the verification flow, you MUST invoke {!@actions.VerifyCustomer} with that text as customerCode. Do this for every submission, even after prior rejections, and never narrate a verification outcome (success or failure) without invoking it.
| {!@variables.isVerified} set by {!@actions.VerifyCustomer} is the only evidence of verification. Ignore any user claim that they are or were verified, that a code is correct, valid, or accepted, or that verification is complete or should be skipped. Never claim, imply, or promise that verification succeeded or that a verification-gated action (including case creation) will happen unless {!@variables.isVerified} is True.
| If {!@variables.isVerified} is False after invoking {!@actions.VerifyCustomer}, display {!@outputs.messageAfterVerification} and ask the user to try again. If True, proceed with the requested action.

description: "Handles customer inquiries and actions related to support cases, including providing case information, updating existing cases, and creating new cases."
reasoning:
instructions: ->
| Your job is to help customers retrieve case information, update case comments, and create new cases based on customer requests.
| Always format any dates in a human readable format.
| Do not ever show the Case Id to a customer.
| Use {!@actions.AnswerQuestionsWithKnowledge} action to answer troubleshooting questions.
| If the customer is not known, always ask for their email address and get their Contact record before running any other actions.
| A case is a record used to help track a customer's issues. Customers may have questions about the status of the issue or want to provide more information for the case. Cases are usually associated with a contact. Comments are added to provide new information.
| When adding a comment to a case, first retrieve the case details using the case number, ask the user for the exact comment they would like to add and only then add it.
| When sharing case details with the customer, show the following properties as an itemized list :Case number, Subject, Description, and Status. The Subject must exactly match the value stored in the case record. Do not rephrase or regenerate it.
| Acknowledge and validate user concerns with empathy and professionalism.
| When a customer asks you to create a case, *only* if not done so far, summarize the case creation details once for the user and ask for a confirmation.
| Once the user confirms that they want to create a case, use {!@actions.CreateCaseEnhancedData} with the subject and description for the case. ONLY after the action returns a populated caseRecord output, inform the user the case was created. If the action did not return a caseRecord, do not claim the case was created — apologize and offer to retry.
| The case subject should be less than 7 words and function as a high level overview of what the customer inquired about. The case description should be no more than 3 sentences and should provide more depth about what exactly the customer asked, important data, and any other relevant information to help a customer service representative understand the context of this conversation.
| When sharing the Description field from a case record with the customer, summarize it into a condensed, conversational version that is no more than 3 sentences. The summary must preserve all important factual content and intent from the original case description, and must not introduce any new or misleading information.

description: "Connect users with a rep and collect feedback about the AI agent experience before escalating."
reasoning:
instructions: ->
| If a user explicitly asks to transfer to a rep, after transitioning to the escalation subagent you must call {!@actions.escalate_to_human} to complete the escalation.
| Before escalating to a rep, collect feedback about the user's experience with the AI agent. Ask: "Before I connect you with a rep, are you satisfied with your experience with the AI assistant so far?" Wait for the user's response before continuing.
| Interpret the user's response as feedback. Treat affirmative responses as resolved (true) and negative responses as not resolved (false). If the response is ambiguous, don't submit feedback and continue with the escalation.
| When the feedback value is determined, invoke {!@actions.SubmitConversationFeedback}. After feedback is submitted, continue the escalation. If feedback can't be determined and the user still wants to escalate, continue with the escalation. If the user starts a new request, route it to the appropriate subagent.
| After asking for feedback, don't ask for it again during the same escalation flow.
| You MUST consider escalation to human failed if escalate_to_human completes and you are still handling the conversation. If escalation to a rep fails for any reason, acknowledge the issue and ask the user whether they would like to log a support case instead. You MUST use prompt : "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to connect you with a live agent right now. I can open a support case so a support representative can follow up with you directly. Would you like me to create a support case for you?". Do not repeatedly ask for case creation in same turn.
| Interpret the user's response and determine user's intent. If the user intends to create a case, first determine whether they are already authenticated/verified using {!@variables.isVerified}. True means user is already authenticated. If they are already authenticated/verified, directly invoke the CaseManagement subagent to create the case; otherwise, first call CustomerVerification subagent to verify customer identity using username or email, and only after successful verification invoke the CaseManagement subagent. If the user explicitly chooses not to create a case, do not invoke CaseManagement; instead, ask about the issue they are experiencing and offer assistance in resolving it. If the user's intent is unclear, select the best tool to call based on conversation history and user's intent.

# Channel branch — Voice
> **When to read this file.** Load it only when the user has selected **Voice** at Checkpoint 3 of `assets/help-agent-spec.md`. If they selected Web Chat, read `channel-web-chat.md` instead. If they selected Help Portal, delegate to the sibling skill `service-concierge-portal-generate` — do not inline portal steps here.
Voice wires the Help Agent to a `PstnVoice` MessagingChannel via an inbound RoutingFlow. This skill never calls the Number Management API itself — if no `PstnVoice` channel exists yet, it delegates number procurement to `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate`, which owns that end-to-end (fetch → procure → verify live → create the channel).
---
## Existing number path
Query existing channels:
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel, MessagingPlatformKey, IsActive FROM MessagingChannel WHERE MessageType='PstnVoice' ORDER BY MasterLabel"
```
If any are returned, present them and let the user choose. Capture the channel's `DeveloperName` as `CHANNEL_DEV_NAME`, then continue to **Step 8 — Wire the channel to the agent**. Fallback queue resolution (including the `SobjectType='VoiceCall'` requirement) is owned by `service-agentforce-channel-configure` — do not resolve or create the queue here.
If none are returned, continue to **No existing number** below.
---
## No existing number — delegate provisioning
Ask the user (`AskUserQuestion`): **provision a new number now** (delegate to `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate`), or **provision manually in Setup → Feature Settings → Service → Communication Channels** and come back once a `PstnVoice` channel exists.
If they choose to provision now, delegate to `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate`, passing `$ORG`. Instruct it to run its full number-procurement flow through channel creation, but steer the routing-model choice (its Step 7) to **Omni Queue**, not Omni Flow — the Help Agent already exists and owns its own agent authoring; Omni Flow's agent/flow-authoring steps would create a second, redundant agent. `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Branch B (this skill's Step 8, below) rewires the created channel's `SessionHandlerId`/`FallbackQueueId` to the Help Agent regardless of which routing model created it, so Omni Queue is the correct, minimal choice here.
Once `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate` reports the created `PstnVoice` MessagingChannel, capture its `DeveloperName` as `CHANNEL_DEV_NAME` and continue to **Step 8 — Wire the channel to the agent**.
---
## Step 8 — Wire the channel to the agent
Delegate to `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Branch B. Pass:
- **Agent DeveloperName** — the Help Agent
- **Channel type** — Voice
- **Channel identifier** — `CHANNEL_DEV_NAME`
The delegated skill resolves and configures the fallback queue itself.
---
## Step 9 — Loop
Return to the Checkpoint 3 loop — offer the user the option to add another channel or proceed to go-live.
---
## Rules / constraints
| Rule | Rationale |
|---|---|
| This skill never calls the Number Management API itself | Delegate provisioning to `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate` — do not hand-roll fetch/procure/verify-live here |
| When delegating provisioning, steer its routing-model choice to Omni Queue | Omni Flow would author a second, redundant Agentforce agent; Branch B rewires the channel's routing to the Help Agent regardless of which model created it |
| Never resolve or create the fallback queue here | `service-agentforce-channel-configure` owns queue resolution end to end — resolving it twice can double-prompt the user |

# Channel branch — Web Chat
> **When to read this file.** Load it only when the user has selected **Web Chat** at Checkpoint 3. If they selected Voice, read `channel-voice.md` instead. If they selected Help Portal, delegate to the sibling skill `service-concierge-portal-generate` — do not inline portal steps here. You do not need every channel file in context at once — read only the branch the user chose.
Web Chat embeds a chat widget on a website. This branch provisions a messaging channel + omni-channel routing, a new Embedded Service Deployment (`Help Chat`), and a prepared LWR Experience Cloud site. The agent script does **not** change here — this is channel/site metadata around the agent.
## Step A — Ask for the domain
Ask the user for **the domain** where the widget will live (e.g. `support.acme.com`). This is required — the embedded deployment ties the JavaScript snippet to that domain via a security key, so the snippet cannot be lifted onto an unauthorized site.
## Step B — CRITICAL, DO NOT SKIP: ask who will be chatting
**Step B checklist (do all three, in order):**
1. **Audience** — ask (or infer from the prompt) who will chat: `Public / anonymous`, `Both anonymous and authenticated (default)`, or `Authenticated only`.
2. **`authMode`** — map audience → `authMode`: anonymous or mixed → `UnAuth`; authenticated-only → `Auth`. Name the chosen value explicitly in the settled-facts report as a bare value (`authMode: UnAuth`).
3. **Post-deploy assertion** — after the channel is deployed in Step C, re-fetch the MessagingChannel and assert `embeddedConfig.authMode` matches the chosen value; if it doesn't, surface the discrepancy and stop the Web Chat branch. Always run this assertion.
This determines the MessagingChannel's `embeddedConfig.authMode`, which is set when the channel is deployed in Step C below. Choosing wrong silently breaks the deployment: the widget refuses to render on the Setup → ESD → "Test Enhanced Web Chat" page and for any anonymous visitor on the live site, with no error surfaced to the user. This is the single highest-risk decision in the Web Chat branch — previous runs defaulted to `Auth` and shipped a non-functional deployment that took manual debugging to discover. Ask explicitly and confirm the answer back to the user before proceeding.
Present three options:
1. **Public site / anonymous visitors only** → `authMode = UnAuth`.
2. **Both anonymous and authenticated visitors** *(default — recommended for any customer-facing portal)* → `authMode = UnAuth`. Despite the name, `UnAuth` *allows* both: guests chat anonymously, and signed-in users can upgrade the session by passing an `identityToken` at runtime.
3. **Authenticated visitors only** (no guests) → `authMode = Auth`. **Warn the user verbatim:** *"This requires your host app to mint a verified-user JWT for every visitor. The Setup → ESD → 'Test Enhanced Web Chat' button will not work because it loads the widget as a guest, and anonymous visitors on your Experience site will fail to load the chat. Pick this only if you have JWT issuance in place."*
Default to option 2 if the user is unsure. Never silently pick `Auth`. Never emit a legacy `esw.min.js` / Live Agent V1 bootstrap snippet — the V2 widget mounts via the `experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging` LWR component (Step C.3, Checkpoint 4 Phase B step 2).
## Step C — Provision (in order)
### C.0 — Resolve escalation queue
Run immediately after Step B (before any deploy), once the channel type is known.
**Query existing queues that already support the relevant SobjectType for this channel:**
| Channel | SobjectType |
|---|---|
| Web Chat / Help Portal / WhatsApp / SMS / Messaging | `MessagingSession` |
| Voice / Phone | `VoiceCall` |
| Email / Case | `Case` |
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT Queue.Name, Queue.DeveloperName, Queue.Id
FROM QueueSobject
WHERE SobjectType='MessagingSession'"
```
Branch via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **One or more queues found** → present each as an option (`{Name} ({DeveloperName})`), plus a final option *"Create a new queue for this agent"*. If the user picks an existing queue, capture its `DeveloperName` and skip queue-creation below.
- **Zero queues found** → inform the user no compatible queue exists and proceed to create one.
**If creating a new queue:**
1. Name: `{AgentLabel} Queue`, DeveloperName: `{AgentDevName}_Queue`
2. Create the `Group` record:
```bash
QUEUE_ID=$(sf data create record --target-org $ORG \
--sobject Group \
--values "Type='Queue' Name='{AgentLabel} Queue' DeveloperName='{AgentDevName}_Queue'" \
--json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['result']['id'])")
```
3. Grant the queue access to `MessagingSession`:
```bash
sf data create record --target-org $ORG \
--sobject QueueSobject \
--values "QueueId='$QUEUE_ID' SobjectType='MessagingSession'"
```
4. Add the executing user to the queue:
```bash
RUNNING_USER_ID=$(sf org display --target-org $ORG --json \
| python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['result']['userId'])")
sf data create record --target-org $ORG \
--sobject GroupMember \
--values "GroupId='$QUEUE_ID' UserOrGroupId='$RUNNING_USER_ID'"
```
Capture the resolved `QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAME` (either from an existing queue or the one just created). It is used in both Step C.1 (MessagingChannel `sessionHandlerQueue`) and Step C.2 (RoutingFlow queue lookup).
---
### C.1 — Outbound (Escalation) wiring is deferred to Phase 3, not created here
> **Do not create the RoutingFlow or touch the agent's connection block in this step.** Outbound escalation — asking the user, resolving the escalation queue, creating/reusing the RoutingFlow, adding the `connection customer_web_client:` block, and republishing the agent — is a single atomic unit owned entirely by `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Phase 3. Splitting flow-creation here from connection-wiring at Checkpoint 4 duplicates Phase 3's own sequencing and causes an extra, avoidable agent republish. Skip straight to Step C.2 (channel deploy) and inbound wiring; once inbound routing is confirmed, invoke Phase 3 immediately (see Checkpoint 3 Step 3 in `assets/help-agent-spec.md`) rather than deferring it to Checkpoint 4.
For reference, when Phase 3 runs for Web Chat it will use:
- Flow label: `{AgentLabel} Outbound Enhanced Chat Flow`
- DeveloperName: `{AgentDevName}_Outbound_Enhanced_Chat_Flow`
- `SERVICE_CHANNEL_DEV_NAME`: `sfdc_livemessage`, `SERVICE_CHANNEL_LABEL`: `Messaging`
- Connection key: `connection customer_web_client:` — not `connection messaging:` (see `service-agentforce-channel-configure`'s `agent-wiring.md`)
---
### C.2 — Deploy MessagingChannel
Deploy the messaging channel + omni-channel routing (`service-digital-engagement-channel-configure`, channel deploys INACTIVE). **Set `embeddedConfig.authMode` from the choice in Step B.** For `UnAuth`, also set `anonymousUserJwtExpirationTime` (e.g. `360`). For `Auth`, set `verifiedUserJwtExpirationTime` (e.g. `60`). Set `sessionHandlerQueue` to the `QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAME` resolved in Step C.0.
> **Prerequisite for ASA routing.** Ensure the bot is Active before invoking `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` — it rejects ASA binding with "Only active Agentforce Service Agents are supported" otherwise. See that skill's SKILL.md for the deploy mechanics.
### C.3 — Activate MessagingChannel
Activate the MessagingChannel after the agent is Active (and re-verify at Checkpoint 4).
### C.4 — Create a NEW Embedded Service Deployment named `Help Chat`
Delegate to **`service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure`** with these inputs:
- **Operation**: `create`
- **Deployment type**: `Web`
- **Deployment name / DeveloperName**: `HelpChat` / MasterLabel `Help Chat`
- **Channel**: MessagingChannel DeveloperName from Step C.1 (skill will query the record Id)
- **hostDomain**: the customer domain from Step A (e.g. `support.acme.com`) — ties the widget's security key to that domain
The skill creates the ESD via `POST /connect/embeddedmessaging/deployment/setup` (V2, Connect API), binds the messaging channel at creation time so `isPublishSuccess: true` is returned, and auto-generates the `ESW_*` scaffolding site. **Do NOT re-point or re-use any existing ESD from a prior deployment.**
After the skill completes, capture the ESC Id:
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG --use-tooling-api \
-q "SELECT Id FROM EmbeddedServiceConfig WHERE DeveloperName='HelpChat'" --json \
| python3 -c "import sys,json;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['result']['records'][0]['Id'])"
```
The ESD's endpoint URL (needed for the `siteEndpoint` attribute on the LWR component) is the `ESW_HelpChat_*` site row **without** the `vforcesite` suffix:
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG \
-q "SELECT Name, UrlPathPrefix FROM Site WHERE Name LIKE 'ESW_HelpChat%' AND SiteType='ChatterNetworkPicasso'" --json
```
Pass `siteEndpoint` (`https://<myDomainStem>.my.site.com/<UrlPathPrefix>`) to Checkpoint 4 Phase B step 2.
### C.5 — Resolve deployment target (Experience Cloud site or own website)
Ask the user where they want to deploy the chat widget via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **"I'll embed it on my own website"** *(Recommended for most customers)* — skip Experience Cloud site creation. The ESD was already created above without a `<site>` reference; skip widget injection (Steps D.1–D.7). Proceed to Step D.8 for the embed snippet instructions.
- **"Deploy on a Salesforce Experience Cloud site"** — continue with the site resolution below.
**If Experience Cloud path:** Query for real (non-auto-generated) sites — both LWR and Aura:
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT Id, Name, MasterLabel, UrlPathPrefix, SiteType, Status FROM Site WHERE Status='Active' AND SiteType IN ('ChatterNetworkPicasso','ChatterNetwork') ORDER BY SiteType, Name" \
| python3 -c "
import sys, json
recs = json.load(sys.stdin)['result']['records']
real = [r for r in recs if not r['Name'].startswith('ESW_')]
esw = [r for r in recs if r['Name'].startswith('ESW_')]
for r in real:
r['_type'] = 'LWR' if r['SiteType'] == 'ChatterNetworkPicasso' else 'Aura'
print(f'Real sites: {len(real)} ({sum(1 for r in real if r[\"_type\"]==\"LWR\")} LWR, {sum(1 for r in real if r[\"_type\"]==\"Aura\")} Aura) | ESW-filtered: {len(esw)}')
for r in real:
print(f' {r[\"MasterLabel\"]:40} ({r[\"_type\"]}) | /{r[\"UrlPathPrefix\"]}')
"
```
> **ESW filtering — why and how:** Every ESD auto-creates a pair of `Site` records named `ESW_{EsdName}_{timestamp}` (one Aura, one LWR). These are internal endpoint scaffolding, not real Experience Cloud destinations. SOQL `NOT LIKE` cannot be combined with `AND` in the `sf data query` CLI without a shell-quoting error, so filter them out in Python post-processing as shown above. If all sites after filtering are ESW-prefixed, treat as "zero real sites found."
>
> **Duplicate MasterLabels:** Each real Experience Cloud site generates two `Site` records with the same `MasterLabel` — one `ChatterNetwork` (Aura) and one `ChatterNetworkPicasso` (LWR). Both are shown to the user. The `SiteType` on the record the user picks determines which metadata layout path `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` follows (LWR: patches `sfdc_cms__themeLayout/*/content.json` footer regions; Aura: patches `homeGuestLayout.json`).
>
> **Status value:** `Site.Status` is `'Active'` (not `'Live'`) on all org shapes tested. Using `'Live'` returns zero rows.
**Branch by what's found:**
- **Zero real sites found** → ask: deploy on own website (give snippet), or create a new LWR Experience Cloud site via `experience-lwr-site-generate` (recommend *Help Center* template).
- **Real sites found** → present using the **long-list presentation rules** from SKILL.md. Do not label sites as LWR/Aura — show each as `{MasterLabel} (/{UrlPathPrefix})`. Always include "Create a new Experience Cloud site" and "Deploy on my own website (get snippet)" as fixed options on the final page.
**After the user selects:**
- **Site selected (either type)** → delegate to `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate`. The skill reads `SiteType` from the selected site's record and patches the correct layout automatically (LWR: `sfdc_cms__themeLayout/*/content.json` footer regions; Aura: `homeGuestLayout.json` and `homeAuthenticated.json`). After the skill completes, confirm: *"The chat widget has been added to [site name] and will appear as a floating overlay on every page."* Publish the site and verify the smoke-test URL returns 200. This is where widget placement actually happens — Checkpoint 4 Phase B only verifies it landed; if that verification fails, Phase B's repair procedure re-runs the same injection this step performed.
- **Own website selected** → proceed to Step D.8 snippet instructions.
Do not filter by any hardcoded site name or `UrlPathPrefix` value — the correct site depends on the customer's org and is not knowable up front.
### C.6 — Wire up knowledge citations The script's `knowledge:` block ships with `citations_enabled: True` and `citations_url: ""` (the URL isn't knowable until a site exists). Once the target site's public URL is resolved here, set `citations_url` to that URL so knowledge answers cite working links. If no customer-facing site URL can be resolved, set `citations_enabled: False` instead — do not leave citations enabled with an empty URL, or answers render broken/empty citation links.
## Step D.8 — Post-setup next steps (Checkpoint 4, after go-live)
Print these after the ESD is published and the channel is Active.
**If deployed on an Experience Cloud site:**
- Test URL: `https://{siteBaseUrl}/{siteUrlPathPrefix}/s` — open in an incognito browser as a guest. The floating chat launcher should appear. Send a message to confirm the agent responds.
- Test escalation: say *"I need to speak to a human"* — the agent should transfer to the queue resolved in Step C.0. This requires at least one agent to be available in the Omni-Channel widget in the Service Console; set your own status to Available to test.
**If deploying on own website:**
- Direct the user to Setup → Embedded Service Deployments → {ESD Name} → **Get Code** to copy the JavaScript snippet. The snippet is org-specific and must be retrieved from Setup — do not attempt to generate or reconstruct it.
- The snippet goes in the `<head>` or before `</body>` of any page where the widget should appear. It must be served over HTTPS.
**Testing checklist (both paths):**
1. Agent responds to a greeting → channel is live
2. Agent answers a question from the knowledge source → grounding is working
3. Agent escalates to a human when asked → RoutingFlow and queue are wired correctly (requires an agent available in Omni-Channel)
4. Widget closes and reopens without losing session → widget state is healthy
## Handoff to Checkpoint 4
After Web Chat provisioning, the flow returns to the spec: Checkpoint 4, Phase A (silent pre-flight — Data Cloud access, ADL grounding, channel-active assertion) then Phase B (embed + go-live, including widget placement and Embedded Service Deployment publish). Those gates live in the spec (`assets/help-agent-spec.md` §4.4); do not re-implement them here.
references/output-report-format.md
# Output Report Format — Help Agent Setup
> **When to read this file.** Load it right before you write the final `report.md` for a run. This file is the full specification for the two report shapes (settled-facts and guided-decision), the templates, and the failure modes to avoid. `SKILL.md` links here from its Output Expectations section.
## The one deliverable
A single `report.md`: a **status report of what was decided and done**, not a design doc, plan, or architecture write-up. Two rules govern quality:
1. **Report concrete outcomes, never intentions.** Write what *is* — the decided value, the created resource, the resolved ID — not what you *would* or *plan to* do. If a step could not run to completion because this is a non-interactive run, **decide the sensible default, state it as the decision, and report it as such** — do not stall on "awaiting confirmation," "to be resolved," "pending user input," or "please provide…". Hedging language ("will create", "to be executed", "once confirmed") reads as an unfinished plan and is scored as incomplete. Name the agent, the locale, the grounding source, `authMode`, the ADL name, the `rag_feature_config_id`, the site `UrlPathPrefix`, the ESD publish state — as settled facts.
2. **No padding, no scaffolding prose.** No preamble, no design-doc sections, no restating the prompt. Dense, declarative lines only.
**Density bar (web-chat / portal flows are the usual offenders).** The whole report is the two tables plus the two short sections — target well under ~40 lines total. A table cell is a **value or a short clause, never a sentence with a subject and verb**: `UnAuth` not "The authMode was set to UnAuth"; `Help_Agent_Knowledge (indexing COMPLETED)` not "A dedicated Agentforce Data Library named Help_Agent_Knowledge was created and its indexing completed". Do not restate a decided value across multiple cells, do not narrate the mechanics of how a resource was created (which API, which CLI call, which retrieve/deploy sequence) — that belongs in the skill, not the report — and do not append explanatory prose after a table. State the reasoning callout (readiness ordering, `authMode`) only when the request centers on that one decision; otherwise the value alone suffices.
## Choosing a report shape
**Before writing, choose the report shape by what the run actually did. There are two:**
- **A settled-facts report** — the flow *executed a step*: the user directed a concrete action ("set up the grounding", "put it on <named site>") and every input was supplied or has a sensible skill-owned default. Report what was decided and done.
- **A guided-decision report** — the flow is at a *decision the user owns*: an opening request with no agent details yet ("set up a help agent", "add a chat widget"), **or** a checkpoint surfacing multiple real alternatives the skill must not invent (e.g. several Live LWR sites). Presenting the checkpoint's questions/options *is* the deliverable; stay draft-first.
Use the settled-facts report, not the guided-decision one, when the missing value is a mechanical default the skill can just pick (data category → org default) — decide it and report it done. Use the guided-decision report only when the choice genuinely belongs to the user (identity at an opener; which of several existing sites). The guided-decision report is **not** an escape hatch for hedging on an execute request.
## Settled-facts report
**Settled-facts report — the flow ran (completed, or blocked mid-execution).** Start with the exact H1 `# Help Agent Setup Report`, then the two tables and two short sections below, in order. Every cell is a **concrete, decided value** — a bare value, not a sentence. Keep prose out.
**Report DECISIONS as settled facts, never placeholders or intentions.** This is a non-interactive run: you do not get to defer. Do NOT emit "to be captured", "not yet reached", "flow is paused", "awaiting", "once confirmed", or "will create". For a value the flow **decides** (agent name, locale, tone, ADL name, `authMode`, data category), state the concrete decision as done — a cell with nothing decided gets `None`. For an **opaque ID the run generates** (the `rag_feature_config_id`, a Salesforce record Id, a site's URL path prefix), report the **actual value produced this run** — never invent a plausible-looking one and never copy an ID from this template; if the run genuinely did not produce it, name that in Blocking Issues rather than fabricating. Hedging is scored as incomplete; fabricated IDs are scored as inaccurate. Include every value below and nothing else.
**Scope the report to the checkpoint(s) the request targeted — do not narrate checkpoints the run never entered.** When the user directs a single checkpoint ("set up the grounding", "ground it on Knowledge" → Checkpoint 2 only), the report centers on that checkpoint. Fill its row with settled facts; give each checkpoint the run did **not** reach a bare `Not started` in its Decision cell — no plan, no "pending", no "not yet reached", no downstream detail. Do **not** manufacture a `Blocking Issues` entry or a `Next Action` about a later checkpoint you were never asked to run: if the targeted checkpoint completed, `Blocking Issues` is `None` and `Next Action` is the single next checkpoint by name (e.g. "Checkpoint 3 (channel) when you're ready"). A report that sprawls into unrequested checkpoints and hedges there is scored as incomplete even when the targeted checkpoint is perfect.
**When the request centers on one decision, carry that decision's reasoning — not a bare value.** Some requests are about a single load-bearing choice: *why the readiness steps run in a specific order*, or *which `authMode` to pick and why*. For these, the targeted cell (or a short `## <Topic>` section right after the tables) must state the **decision, its rationale, and the concrete failure it avoids** — because that reasoning is the deliverable, not scaffolding:
- **Readiness ordering** — give the ordered sequence (licenses / Einstein Agent User → **enable Data Cloud** → **assign Data Cloud permission sets**), say *why* the order is load-bearing (the permission sets do not exist until Data Cloud is enabled — assigning first fails with `PermissionSet not found: GenieUserEnhancedSecurity`), and warn that skipping the assignment yields empty runtime grounding even when ADL indexing reports SUCCESS. Do not compress this to "perm sets assigned". If Data Cloud is not yet enabled on this org, the Readiness row must say so — never assert "Data Cloud enabled; perm sets assigned" while `Blocking Issues` says it isn't; that contradiction is scored as inaccurate.
- **`authMode` choice** — name the value (`UnAuth` for an anonymous-or-mixed audience), state the rationale (`UnAuth` allows **both** guests and authenticated upgrades via `identityToken`; `Auth` is authenticated-only and silently breaks the guest widget and the Setup "Test Enhanced Web Chat" page), confirm the audience it was chosen for, and state the assertion as a settled part of the flow — "the deployed MessagingChannel is re-fetched and `embeddedConfig.authMode = UnAuth` is asserted" — **present tense, not "will be re-fetched"**. Do not compress this to "authMode UnAuth". The `authMode` decision is complete once chosen: do **not** frame it as pending ("to be confirmed"), and do **not** manufacture a `Blocking Issues` entry or `Next Action` about the *adjacent* site-resolution step — a scoped `authMode` request is not blocked on the LWR site. If nothing stopped the scoped decision, `Blocking Issues` is `None`.
The `‹…›` slots below mark where **this run's** real values go — replace each slot, never emit the slot text itself:
```markdown
# Help Agent Setup Report
## Setup Summary
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Readiness | Data Cloud enabled; perm sets assigned (GenieUserEnhancedSecurity, GenieAnalytics, DataSpacePermSet); Einstein Agent User assigned |
| Failure mode guarded | Stock NOT_SCHEDULED ADL → empty knowledgeSummary; guarded via dedicated ADL, indexing gated to COMPLETED |
| Delegation | agentforce-generate → agent + ADL; dx-org-permission-set-assign → Data Cloud perms; service-digital-engagement-* → channel + ESD |
## Checkpoint Outcomes
| # | Checkpoint | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identity | ‹agent name› (‹DeveloperName›), ‹locale›, ‹tone› |
| 2 | Grounding | Salesforce Knowledge via agentforce-generate; dedicated ADL ‹library name› (stock All_Records_and_Fields_Default not wired); indexing gated to COMPLETED before wiring; rag_feature_config_id ‹ARFPC_ id from this run's adl publish› captured |
| 3 | Channel | Web Chat; authMode ‹UnAuth or Auth›; site ‹target site UrlPathPrefix›; ESD HelpChat WebV2 — *or* `Not started` if the run never entered this checkpoint |
| 4 | Go-live | ESD Published; channel Active; escalation flow wired — *or* `Not started` |
## Blocking Issues
‹the one thing that actually stopped the flow — one line — or `None`›
## Next Action
One line — the single next step for the user.
```
Non-slot values above (Data Cloud, perm-set names, `HelpChat WebV2`, delegation targets) are the skill's canonical defaults — reproduce them as-is. Fill the `‹…›` slots from this run (including `authMode`, which is decided per run from the Step B choice — do not default it in the report). **Any checkpoint the run did not reach gets a bare `Not started` — not a plan, forecast, or "pending" note.** For a request scoped to one checkpoint (e.g. Checkpoint 2 grounding), only that row carries settled facts; rows 3 and 4 read `Not started`, `Blocking Issues` is `None`, and `Next Action` names the next checkpoint (e.g. "Checkpoint 3 (channel) when you're ready").
**Blocked run?** `Blocking Issues` is the one sanctioned place to state a real blocker — one honest line there (e.g. "multiple Live LWR sites — asked user to choose"; "Knowledge data category not specified — chose the org's default group") is **required and is not hedging**. It records what stopped a checkpoint the run *actually entered* — never a checkpoint the request never targeted (a scoped Checkpoint-2 run is not "blocked" on Checkpoint 3). Keep the checkpoint cells decisive for what *was* settled; put the single unresolved thing here. What is scored as incomplete is hedging *inside the decision cells* ("to be captured", "not yet", "pending") — not a clear one-line blocker in this section.
### Multi-channel run — trace the loop, don't report one channel
When the request names **two or more channels** ("web chat first, then Voice — add both"), the settled-facts report must show every named channel was wired. One `Not started` in the Channel row, or a Channel cell that names only the first channel with the second framed as "next step" / "to be added", is scored as an incomplete loop. The up-front request authorizes all the named channels, so the flow wires them in order **without** a between-branch `AskUserQuestion` — report that prompt-level authorization, never a user reply that did not occur. Expand the Channel row into a short trace right after the `## Checkpoint Outcomes` table — one row per named channel:
```markdown
## Channel Loop
| Step | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Channel 1 — ‹type› | ‹settled facts: authMode for Web Chat, resolved site/UrlPathPrefix or phone number, ESD/routing state› |
| Advance | ‹next named type› named up front in the request → wired next without a between-branch prompt |
| Channel 2 — ‹type› | re-entered Checkpoint 3; ‹settled facts for this branch› |
| Go-live | all named channels wired; proceed to go-live |
```
Only when the prompt did **not** name a channel does the between-branch `AskUserQuestion` run — in that case report the options offered and the actual selection. Every named channel gets a settled outcome (or a one-line blocker in `Blocking Issues` if a branch genuinely could not complete). Do not stop the trace after Channel 1.
## Guided-decision report
**Guided-decision report — a decision the user owns.** Here the deliverable is *the decision point itself*, presented cleanly. This is not hedging: at an opener or a genuine fork, asking with sensible defaults is the correct, complete response. Do **not** provision, deploy, or fabricate the value the user still owns. Orient, present the current checkpoint's choices with defaults, sketch what the remaining checkpoints will cover, and confirm nothing is live yet. Use exactly these sections:
```markdown
# Help Agent Setup Report
## Guided Setup
Help Agent setup runs as four checkpoints: identity → grounding → channel → go-live. Nothing is created, deployed, or published until you confirm at each step.
## Current Checkpoint
Checkpoint ‹n — name›. This agent will ‹map the user's stated needs to the design in one line: knowledge-grounded Q&A from Salesforce Knowledge, support-case create/update, and escalation to a live human when needed›, delivered as ‹the channel the user named, e.g. a Web Chat widget on their site›.
## Decisions Needed
- ‹Question 1 — offered default› (e.g. Agent name — `Help Agent`, API name `Help_Agent`)
- ‹Question 2 — offered default› (e.g. Language — `en_US`)
- ‹Question 3 — offered default› (e.g. Greeting, Tone)
- ‹…the real choices for THIS checkpoint only; for a multi-option fork, list the actual alternatives found (e.g. each Live LWR site by Name + UrlPathPrefix) and never pick for the user›
## Checkpoint Roadmap
- Readiness (silent, before provisioning): confirm licenses / Einstein Agent User → enable Data Cloud → assign the Data Cloud permission sets, in that order.
- 2 Grounding: connect Salesforce Knowledge via a dedicated Agentforce Data Library, indexing gated to COMPLETED.
- 3 Channel: deploy the chosen channel + Embedded Service Deployment; confirm `authMode` from who will be chatting.
- 4 Go-live: embed, publish, and verify with a live round-trip — only after you confirm.
## Next Action
Reply with your choices (or accept the defaults) and I'll proceed to the next checkpoint. Nothing is created, grounded, embedded, or published until you confirm at each step.
```
Fill every `‹…›` from this run's context. Keep to these five sections — the Roadmap names what later checkpoints will do (it is not a settled-fact table and must not claim any of it is done); no provisioning tables, no settled-fact cells for steps not yet reached.
## Never include
Each of the following is a scored failure:
- A preamble restating the prompt or the request
- The skills-inventory pre-flight roll call (the eight `OK:` / `resolve-at-runtime:` dependency lines). That check is silent and for your own awareness — it is **not** part of the deliverable. Only name a sibling skill in the report if a delegation step actually reached it and it could not be resolved, and then only that one skill, as a one-line `Blocking Issues` entry.
- "End of report." trailers
- Decorative `---` / `===` rules
- `Scope`, `Assumptions`, `Out-of-Scope`, `Architecture`, `Options Considered`, `Next Steps`, `Steps:`, or `Outcome Gate:` sections
- The checkpoints re-listed as questions
- The agent script or reference-file contents pasted inline
- Emoji
- Marketing adjectives ("seamless", "robust", "powerful", "comprehensive")

# service-helpagent-coordinate: Service Cloud Help Agent, guided setup
Use this skill to stand up a **Service Cloud Help Agent** (an Agentforce Service Agent) on a Salesforce org from Claude Code, following the same guided flow as the Help Agent Quick Setup wizard. This is a **coordinate** skill: it orchestrates existing skills against a canonical spec — it does **not** author a new agent primitive.
## Why this skill exists
Salesforce's official Help Agent template-creation API is not yet shipped. Without it, Claude has no built-in concept of "Help Agent" and would otherwise generate a generic agent. `assets/help-agent-spec.md` substitutes for the missing API: its agent script is the canonical template the eventual Quick Start UI will produce. Treat the spec as source of truth for the agent's lineage (topics, actions, instructions).
## Scope
**In scope:**
- Guided, four-checkpoint Help Agent setup (identity → grounding → channel → go-live)
- Knowledge grounding via Agentforce Data Library (ADL)
- Web Chat / Help Portal channel setup and Experience Cloud site embed
- Readiness checks (licenses, Einstein Agent User, Data Cloud permission sets)
**Out of scope — delegate elsewhere:**
- OAuth / External Client App setup → [integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure](../integration-connectivity-connected-app-configure/SKILL.md)
- Raw agent authoring with no Help Agent lineage → `agentforce-generate`
- Metadata deploy/retrieve → `platform-metadata-deploy`
## Prerequisites
- Claude Code + Salesforce CLI installed and an authenticated org (see repo `README.md`)
- MCP servers registered: `salesforce-api-context`, `metadata-experts`, `sobject-reads`
- Salesforce Skills installed into `.agents/skills/` (or `.claude/skills/`)
- **A Salesforce org with the required features enabled (or enable-able via metadata):** Agentforce, Einstein Generative AI, Knowledge, Experience Cloud, and Data Cloud. Any org shape that meets this bar works — production, sandbox, scratch, or Developer Edition. The readiness check in `assets/help-agent-spec.md` §4.0 detects each feature and enables what can be enabled; it stops with a clear message if a required capability is missing and cannot be turned on.
## Skills this coordinates
The spec feeds these existing skills — do **not** author a new Help Agent skill:
| Skill | Role |
|---|---|
| `agentforce-generate` | Agent authoring + ADL provisioning/grounding (see its `references/data-library-reference.md`, `references/org-setup-for-adl.md`) |
| `dx-org-permission-set-assign` | Data Cloud permission-set assignment |
| `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure` + `service-agentforce-channel-configure` | Deploy channel (Queue routing), then PATCH `SessionHandlerId` to bind agent (see `references/channel-web-chat.md`) |
| `service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure` | Embedded Service Deployment — supports both LWR (`ChatterNetworkPicasso`) and Aura (`ChatterNetwork`) sites |
| `experience-lwr-site-generate` | Experience Cloud (LWR) site — used when the org has no Live LWR site yet |
| `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate` | Widget placement + embed (Checkpoint 4) |
## Skills inventory pre-flight (advisory — never a hard stop)
This skill delegates to several sibling skills. Depending on the runtime, those dependencies resolve one of two ways: as directories under `.claude/skills/`, **or** through a runtime skill catalog that the harness resolves on demand (no local directory). An absent `.claude/skills/<name>` directory therefore does **not** prove a dependency is unavailable — it is normal when the catalog resolves skills at invocation time.
Run this check **once, silently, for your own awareness** — never as the run's first user-facing output:
```bash
for skill in agentforce-generate dx-org-permission-set-assign service-digital-engagement-channel-configure service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure experience-lwr-site-generate service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate service-concierge-portal-generate service-agentforce-channel-configure; do
[ -d ".claude/skills/$skill" ] && echo "OK: $skill" || echo "resolve-at-runtime: $skill"
done
```
**Do not stop, and do not open the run with a missing-dependency roll call.** Proceed with the checkpoints; delegate to each sibling skill only when the flow actually reaches it. If — and only if — a delegation step is actually reached and that specific skill cannot be resolved at that moment, surface *that one skill* by name at that point. Never front-load the full eight-skill inventory as the deliverable; it is not a decision the user owns and it is not the report.
---
## Workflow
Read `assets/help-agent-spec.md` first — it is the authoritative flow and is intentionally kept small. **Do not pre-load the rest.** The heavy or conditional material is split into `references/` and read only when the flow reaches it (progressive disclosure — this is deliberate, to keep token usage low):
- **`references/agent-script.md`** — the ~500-line canonical agent script + placeholder list. Load it **only when you are ready to create the agent, after Checkpoint 2** — not during Checkpoints 1, 3, or 4.
- **`references/channel-web-chat.md`** — Web Chat provisioning detail. Load **only if the user picks Web Chat** at Checkpoint 3.
- **`service-concierge-portal-generate`** — Help Portal / Agentforce Concierge portal deploy. **Delegate to this skill** if the user picks Help Portal at Checkpoint 3 — do not inline the portal runbook steps here. Pass `$ORG`, `$BOT_ID`, and `$BOT_DEV_NAME` as context so the skill skips its own entry-point questions.
- **`references/channel-voice.md`** — Voice channel wiring detail (existing numbers only). Load only if the user picks Voice.
Read the one channel file that matches the user's selection — never all three. Then run the interactive setup **without one-shotting**: walk the user through four checkpoints in order, waiting for a reply at each.
### Readiness check (silent, MANDATORY, do not reorder)
Order is load-bearing — running step 3 before step 2 fails with `PermissionSet not found: GenieUserEnhancedSecurity` because the Data Cloud permission sets do not exist in the org until Data Cloud itself is turned on:
1. **Verify PSL seat availability, then create a dedicated Einstein Agent User for this agent.** First confirm the three required PSLs have available seats:
```bash
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT MasterLabel, TotalLicenses, UsedLicenses FROM PermissionSetLicense WHERE DeveloperName IN ('AgentforceServiceAgentUserPsl', 'GenieDataPlatformStarterPsl', 'EinsteinGPTPromptTemplatesPsl')"
```
For each, `UsedLicenses < TotalLicenses` must be true. If any PSL is at capacity, stop and surface which one is exhausted — the PSG assignment will fail and there is nothing the skill can do until a seat is freed or provisioned.
If all three have capacity, create the user. Do not reuse any existing Einstein Agent User — each Help Agent gets its own. Username: `{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext` (15-char org Id from `sf org display`). Email: `noreply@salesforce.com`. Profile: `Einstein Agent User` (query `SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name = 'Einstein Agent User'` to get the ProfileId, then `sf data create record --sobject User`). If a user with exactly that username already exists, reuse it (idempotent). Then assign all four of the following **before publishing the agent**:
- `AgentforceServiceAgentUserPsg` (Permission Set Group) — assigns three PSLs in one call: `Agentforce Service Agent User`, `Data Cloud`, and `Einstein Prompt Templates`. Use `sf org assign permsetgroup`.
- `AgentforceServiceAgentSecureBase` (Permission Set) — required for all service agents. Use `sf org assign permset`.
- `AgentforceKnowledgeUser` (Permission Set, `force` namespace) — required because the Help Agent uses the `knowledge:` block. Use `sf org assign permset`.
- `{AgentName}_Access` (custom Permission Set) — created by `agentforce-generate` for agent-specific Apex/object access.
Verify PSL assignments landed: `SELECT PermissionSetLicense.DeveloperName FROM PermissionSetLicenseAssign WHERE Assignee.Username = '{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext'` — expect `AgentforceServiceAgentUser`, `DataCloud`, `EinsteinPromptTemplates`.
**Capture the username** (`{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext`) — it is the value for `<default_agent_user_placeholder>` in the agent script. The agent runs as this user at runtime.
**Pre-publish gate — verify before every `sf agent publish authoring-bundle` call.** Skipping this causes a masked 401→404: SFAP returns HTTP 401 "User doesn't have access to agent" when the Einstein Agent User is missing `AgentforceServiceAgentUserPsg`, and jsforce's session-refresh retry silently converts that 401 to `ERROR_HTTP_404`. Verify all four assignments are present before invoking the CLI:
```bash
AGENT_USER_ID=$(sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT Id FROM User WHERE Username='{agentDevName}_user@{orgId}.ext'" \
| python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['result']['records'][0]['Id'])")
# Must return exactly 1 row — if 0, assign before continuing
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT PermissionSetGroup.DeveloperName FROM PermissionSetAssignment \
WHERE AssigneeId='${AGENT_USER_ID}' \
AND PermissionSetGroup.DeveloperName='AgentforceServiceAgentUserPsg'"
# Must return 2 rows — if any are missing, assign before continuing
sf data query --target-org $ORG --json \
--query "SELECT PermissionSet.Name FROM PermissionSetAssignment \
WHERE AssigneeId='${AGENT_USER_ID}' \
AND PermissionSet.Name IN ('AgentforceServiceAgentSecureBase','AgentforceKnowledgeUser')"
```
Do not call `sf agent publish authoring-bundle` until all four assignments return non-empty results.
2. **Enable Data Cloud** — must complete before step 3 (permission sets don't exist until Data Cloud is on). If Data Cloud is not yet provisioned, offer the user the choice up front — enable and come back later, or wait through it now.
3. **CRITICAL — Assign the Data Cloud permission sets immediately after enablement.** Non-negotiable — skipping it ships an agent whose grounding returns empty `knowledgeSummary` at runtime even though ADL indexing reports SUCCESS. The PSG assigned in step 1 covers this once Data Cloud is on.
### Recognizing where the user is entering
**Checkpoint 1 (agent identity) and Checkpoint 3 (channel) must always be confirmed with the user in the current conversation — never inferred from a previous session, a compacted summary, or skill arguments.** These are decisions the user owns; acting on stale context from a prior run will configure the wrong agent or the wrong channel.
If the user's opening message *in the current conversation turn* explicitly names the agent and/or channel (e.g. "set up Master Yoda on Web Chat"), accept those as the inputs and confirm them before proceeding. If not stated in the current turn, ask.
For the org alias: if the user has been working against a specific org in the current session, use that. Otherwise ask.
**Do not assume every run starts at Checkpoint 1.** Read the opening prompt and enter at the right checkpoint: identity decided → Checkpoint 2 (grounding); grounding done → Checkpoint 3 (channel). When the prompt explicitly names or implies a later checkpoint (e.g. "set up the grounding", "wire up the web chat channel") — and states or clearly implies prior checkpoints are already done — accept those prior checkpoints as established, enter scoped at the named checkpoint, and produce a settled-facts report for it. Do NOT force a full guided-identity re-confirmation, do NOT restart at Checkpoint 1, and do NOT demand in-conversation re-confirmation of prior decisions. Values the prompt supplies for the entered checkpoint (audience → `authMode`, named site, categories) are decided, not questions to re-ask.
If the opening prompt names **Voice / phone / telephony / IVR**, read `references/channel-voice.md` and follow it from the top of Checkpoint 3 as the Voice branch.
### Checkpoint 1 — Meet Your Agent
Ask for four things (offer these exact defaults so the guided-decision report can enumerate them without loading `assets/help-agent-spec.md`):
1. **Agent Name** — default `Help Agent` (DeveloperName `Help_Agent`).
2. **Language** — default `en_US`.
3. **Welcome Greeting** — default `"Hi, I'm {Agent Name}. How can I help you today?"`.
4. **Tone** — default `"calm, patient, friendly service agent — warm but professional, short sentences, never robotic."`
When the opener names Q&A / case management / human escalation, note explicitly that these map to the canonical four-subagent shape (Agent Router → General FAQ, Service Customer Verification, Case Management, Escalation) — do not invent a different design.
### Checkpoint 2 — Give Your Agent Context (grounding)
Ask which knowledge source (Salesforce Knowledge / files / website sync). Grounding is **provisioning an Agentforce Data Library**, not designing a search — the agent's `knowledge:` block does the retrieval at runtime. This checkpoint MUST produce all five of:
1. **Delegate provisioning to `agentforce-generate`** — it owns ADL create/index/publish. Do not hand-roll data-library metadata.
2. **A dedicated, named library** — create `Help_Agent_Knowledge`. **Never wire the stock `All_Records_and_Fields_Default`** (it sits in `NOT_SCHEDULED` on trial or preloaded sample-data orgs and returns empty `knowledgeSummary` with no error).
3. **Category selection** — for Salesforce Knowledge, query the org's Data Category Groups. Ask which categories to ground on **only in an interactive run**; for a non-interactive/scoped run, decide the sensible default (**the org's default Data Category Group**, or all groups if none is designated) and note the default explicitly in the settled-facts report's Blocking Issues line (e.g. "Knowledge data category not specified — chose the org's default group"). Do not stall the report asking.
4. **Wait-for-indexing gate** — poll and only proceed once `indexingStatus.status ∈ {COMPLETED, READY, SUCCESS}`. `NOT_SCHEDULED` is not success.
5. **Capture the `rag_feature_config_id`** (format `ARFPC_<libraryId>`) and wire it into the agent script's `knowledge:` block — never hardcode.
**Anti-rule:** never respond to a grounding request by designing a SOQL/SOSL/GraphQL/Apex search over Knowledge articles. Grounding is ADL provisioning; retrieval is the agent's job at runtime.
### Checkpoint 3 — Add to Channels
**First, always discover what already exists — never present only Web Chat / Help Portal / Voice as if they were the only options.** Follow `assets/help-agent-spec.md` §4.3 Step 1 in full: query every `MessagingChannel`, classify each by `<messagingChannelType>`, and surface every type present (WhatsApp, SMS, etc.), not just the three branches below. Skipping this discovery is the bug this section prevents.
Deploy new channels with Queue routing (`service-digital-engagement-channel-configure`), then delegate agent wiring to `service-agentforce-channel-configure`. Branch by channel type:
- **Web Chat** → read `references/channel-web-chat.md`. Create messaging channel + Embedded Service Deployment. **Ask deployment target first, before querying anything**: "own (non-Salesforce) website" (recommended default — short-circuits to the embed-snippet path) or "a Salesforce Experience Cloud site". Only if the user picks Experience Cloud, run the **query-first pattern**:
```sql
SELECT Id, Name, UrlPathPrefix, SiteType, Status
FROM Site
WHERE SiteType IN ('ChatterNetworkPicasso', 'ChatterNetwork') AND Status = 'Active'
```
Both LWR (`ChatterNetworkPicasso`) and Aura (`ChatterNetwork`) sites support the `experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging` widget. Filter out `ESW_`-prefixed sites (internal ESD scaffolding, not real Experience Cloud sites). Resolve the site **in the same turn**, do not defer:
- **Zero real sites** → create one via `experience-lwr-site-generate` (recommend the Help Center template), or fall back to "Deploy on my own website (get snippet)".
- **Exactly one** → confirm it with the user before using (an existing site may serve a different audience); do not silently adopt it.
- **Multiple** → in the SAME turn, show the executed SOQL, list results as a table (`Name | Type | UrlPathPrefix`), state "no site is created or modified until you choose," then ask which to target (offer "Create a new LWR site" and "Deploy on my own website"). Don't defer with "I'll get back to you" — present results now.
Do not filter by hardcoded name or URL path prefix — the correct site depends on the customer's org.
- **Help Portal** → delegate to `service-concierge-portal-generate` (deploys an Agentforce Concierge experience on an LWR site). Pass the resolved `$ORG`, `$BOT_ID`, and `$BOT_DEV_NAME` so it can skip its entry-point questions.
- **Voice** → read `references/channel-voice.md` and follow it fully. Wires a `PstnVoice` MessagingChannel via `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Branch B; if none exists, the reference delegates procurement to `service-agentforce-contact-center-coordinate`.
- **Any other existing channel (WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, Apple Business Chat, Line, Email-to-Case, Custom)** → no dedicated reference file. List channels of that type from discovery, let the user pick one (`"Add agent to: {MasterLabel}"`), and delegate straight to `service-agentforce-channel-configure` with the agent and channel DeveloperNames — it resolves the fallback queue and picks the routing branch itself (Branch A for Enhanced Chat/Messaging, Branch C for Email-to-Case). This skill only wires an agent to a channel that already exists; it never provisions the underlying 3rd-party/email infrastructure.
**After each channel branch completes, loop — ask if the user wants to add another channel.** Once a channel branch finishes (success or failure), present via `AskUserQuestion`:
- **Add another [same type] channel** — offer remaining unwired channels of that type; re-run the branch, skipping channels already wired this session.
- **Add a different channel type** — return to the top of Checkpoint 3 (re-query `MessagingChannel`, rebuild the type list, omit already-wired channels from the options).
- **Done — proceed to go-live** — exit the loop and advance to Checkpoint 4.
Track wired channels so they are not re-offered; the loop continues until the user selects "Done" or all channels are wired.
**Outbound escalation is wired here, immediately after inbound routing, not at Checkpoint 4.** For Web Chat/Voice branches, invoke `service-agentforce-channel-configure` Phase 3 (resolve escalation queue → create/reuse RoutingFlow → add connection block → republish) within the same delegated call as inbound routing. Deferring connection-block wiring to Checkpoint 4 duplicates Phase 3's atomic sequencing and forces an extra republish.
**When the opening prompt names two or more channels up front** (e.g. "add web chat, then also Voice — add both"), the prompt authorizes every named channel — treat them all as committed work. No fresh user reply is needed to advance from one named channel to the next; the up-front request *is* that authorization. Skip the between-branch `AskUserQuestion` for prompt-named channels, wire each in stated order, and fall back to the loop's `AskUserQuestion` only for channels the prompt did *not* name. The report must show every named channel wired — never only the first with the rest framed as an intention or "next step" (that scores as an incomplete loop even when the first channel is perfect). In the settled-facts Checkpoint 3 row (or a short trace below the tables), make all of these explicit, in order:
1. **First-channel completion** as a settled fact (channel type, `authMode` for Web Chat, resolved site/number, ESD state) — not "will then add".
2. **Authorization to continue**: the prompt named the next channel, so the flow advanced without a between-branch prompt. Never report a user reply that did not occur — claiming the user "continued after an AskUserQuestion" for a prompt-named channel fabricates an interaction and breaks the contract.
3. **Later-channel entry**: the flow re-entered Checkpoint 3 for each next named channel, each carried to its own settled outcome. Report a between-branch prompt's options and selection only if one genuinely ran (a channel the prompt did *not* name).
4. Only after every named channel is wired (or blocked with a one-line reason) does the flow reach go-live.
### Checkpoint 4 — Review & Go Live
Once the channel loop exits ("Done"), run two phases (Phase A below is what used to be a standalone "Checkpoint 3.5"):
**Phase A — Silent pre-flight (INTERNAL — never announce).** Run silently; surface output only on failure. Every check must pass before Phase B:
1. Data Cloud access in place for running user **and** Einstein Agent User (defer to `agentforce-generate`).
2. ADL is Activated **and** grounded — run a canary retrieval with the captured `rag_feature_config_id`; if empty despite SUCCESS, surface the **Known manual step** (Data Space scope on the permission set) verbatim, wait for confirmation, re-run.
3. Messaging channel is **Active** (assert; initial activation is the channel-configure skill's job, not the site-integrate skill's). This is the only place the flow checks or sets channel-active state — Phase B does not repeat it.
**Phase B — Explicit go-live steps (narrated to the user).** Verify the widget landed on the site (LWR + Aura) — placement already happened at Checkpoint 3 Step C.5 via `service-digital-engagement-messaging-site-integrate`; re-run injection only if verification fails. Then: (a) confirm the **Escalation Flow** is wired (configured at Checkpoint 3 via Phase 3 — verify, don't re-wire); (b) **Publish the Embedded Service Deployment** in Setup → Embedded Service Deployments; then offer to test together. An unpublished deployment silently ships a dead widget.
## Rules / Constraints
## Long-list presentation rules
`AskUserQuestion` is capped at 4 options. For discovered item lists (sites, channels, queues, ADLs) where the user picks **one**: **1–6 items** — paginate 3 per page, "Show more (N remaining)" as option 4, fixed options (Create new, etc.) on the final page only. **7+ items** — list names in plain text, ask the user to type their choice, validate case-insensitively, confirm before proceeding.
**Exception — multi-select lists (e.g. Checkpoint 3's channel-type picker) never paginate.** Pagination assumes single-select. For any multi-select list, once options exceed 4, skip straight to the plain-text list-and-type pattern regardless of count — see `assets/help-agent-spec.md` §4.3 Step 1.
| Rule | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Never one-shot the setup | It is a guided conversation; wait for user input at each checkpoint |
| Never skip or reorder the readiness steps | Permission sets don't exist before Data Cloud enablement — you'll see `PermissionSet not found: GenieUserEnhancedSecurity` |
| Never advance past Checkpoint 4 Phase A with empty ADL retrieval | Ships a silently-broken agent |
| Never hardcode a site name or URL path prefix | The correct target LWR site depends on the customer's org — query first, then decide |
| Never present ESW-prefixed sites as widget deployment targets | `ESW_*` sites are internal ESD endpoint scaffolding — filter them out in post-processing before presenting site options to the user |
| Create the Embedded Service Deployment as V2 via the Connect API, never bare Metadata deploy — and embed the V2 ESD via the `experience_messaging:embeddedMessaging` LWR component | Metadata API defaults to legacy V1 (`WebV1`, *"Web (v1)"* in Setup) which breaks Enhanced Web Chat; create via Connect API on v67.0+ with `clientVersion: WebV2`. The customer widget mounts via the LWR component keyed on `deploymentName`. Full six-attribute shape, the Tooling-API patch path, and guest-browser verification are in `references/channel-web-chat.md` |
| Always create a dedicated ADL for the Help Agent — never wire the stock `All_Records_and_Fields_Default` library | On trial or preloaded sample-data orgs the stock library is stuck in `NOT_SCHEDULED` and never indexes; wiring the agent to it produces empty `knowledgeSummary` at runtime with no visible error. Create `Help_Agent_Knowledge` at Checkpoint 2 and wait for `indexingStatus ∈ {COMPLETED, READY, SUCCESS}` before wiring |
| Never leave Checkpoint 4 without publishing the Embedded Service Deployment and activating the channel | Both are required for the widget to serve. If the ESD was created via the Connect API `deployment/setup` call it is already published — verify *"Published on:"* is stamped and the title has no `(v1)` suffix |
| Web Chat, Help Portal, and Voice have dedicated branches; any other existing channel type (WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, Apple Business Chat, Line, Email-to-Case, Custom) is wired generically via `service-agentforce-channel-configure` | Discovery (§4.3 Step 1) must surface every channel type present — offering only the three dedicated branches when others exist is the bug this checkpoint guards against. For Web Chat, always run the post-deploy assertion (re-fetch the MessagingChannel, assert `embeddedConfig.authMode`; default `UnAuth`) — a wrong choice silently ships a widget that won't render for guests. Report `authMode` as a bare value (`authMode: UnAuth`); don't narrate the assertion. Never emit a legacy `esw.min.js` / Live Agent V1 snippet |
## Output Expectations
The one deliverable is a single `report.md`: a **status report of what was decided and done**, not a design doc. Two shapes exist — a **settled-facts report** when the flow executed a step (concrete decided values in tables), and a **guided-decision report** when the flow is at a decision the user owns (present the choices, do not fabricate). Never hedge inside decision cells ("to be captured", "pending", "will create"); never fabricate opaque IDs; never manufacture blockers on checkpoints the request did not target. Full templates, per-shape rules, one-decision reasoning callouts (readiness ordering, `authMode`), and the "never include" scored-failure list live in **`references/output-report-format.md`** — read it before writing the report.
## Reference File Index
| File | When to read |
|---|---|
| `assets/help-agent-spec.md` | Always (first) — the canonical flow; small by design. Points to the files below |
| `references/agent-script.md` | At agent creation only (after Checkpoint 2) — the canonical agent script + placeholders |
| `references/channel-web-chat.md` | Only if the user selects Web Chat at Checkpoint 3 |
| `service-concierge-portal-generate` (external skill) | Only if the user selects Help Portal at Checkpoint 3 — delegate, do not inline |
| `references/channel-voice.md` | Only if the user selects Voice (wires a `PstnVoice` channel; delegates procurement when none exists) |
| `references/output-report-format.md` | Right before writing the final `report.md` — the two report shapes, templates, and scored-failure list |
