# Master the Agentic Development Lifecycle for Agentforce

**[Salesforce Developers Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/salesforcedevs)** · 15 min read · 1 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

A design-first development lifecycle for building Agentforce agents on Salesforce using coding assistants like Claude Code or Codex paired with Agent Skills. The workflow covers installing Agent Skills from the open-source Salesforce Skills Library, scaffolding a project, using plan mode and a structured interview prompt to design before building, generating and deploying metadata with an automated fix-and-retry loop, validating and testing via smoke tests and YAML-based batch test specs, and debugging with local and production traces. Key practices include never giving agents production access, scoping deploys explicitly, and committing Agent Script to source control.
