Salesforce

CLI-powered data orchestration on top of sf CLI. Deterministic snapshots, pack/apply with receipts, drift detection, and smoke assertions — the same control-plane loop as HubSpot and Dynamics, purpose-built for Salesforce orgs.

Get Started All CRMs

What You Get

Deterministic Receipts

Every pack apply produces timestamped artifacts: before.csv, after.csv, success.jsonl, errors.jsonl, plan_used.json, and drift_check.json. Know exactly what changed.

Data Snapshots

Export any Salesforce object into a deterministic manifest with row hashes and field-level checksums. Use inline --object/--fields or a reusable snapshot spec (YAML/JSON).

Trust-First Deployment

Plans generate a SHA-256 plan_hash. Apply requires the exact hash — in CLI, CI/CD, and MCP. If the org drifts between plan and apply, the hash won't match and the deploy is rejected.

Drift Detection

Run g-gremlin sfdc drift at any time to compare the current org state against the last snapshot. See exactly what changed, by object and field.

Smoke Assertions

Define post-apply checks in pack.yaml: record exists, field equals X, count >= N. Failed assertions exit non-zero for CI/CD pipelines.

Full sf CLI Log Capture

Raw stdout/stderr from every sf CLI subprocess call is captured in the receipt bundle. Debug failures without re-running.

Expanded Metadata Coverage

Flow, FlexiPage, Layout, ApexClass, ApexTrigger, LightningComponentBundle (LWC), and RecordType are fully supported in metadata-pack. Deploy with full component visibility.

MCP Server for AI Agents

Give Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf structured Salesforce access via MCP. Read tools enabled by default, writes behind --enable-writes with plan-hash safety.

How It Works

Doctor

Verify sf CLI is installed, authenticated, and can reach the target org.

Whoami

Confirm org identity — username, org ID, instance URL, and API version.

Snapshot

Export current object data into a deterministic manifest with row hashes.

Pack Plan

Compare pack.yaml updates against the snapshot baseline. Lock the plan fingerprint.

Pack Apply

Execute updates with full receipt capture: before/after CSVs, success/error logs, plan + drift artifacts.

Drift

Re-snapshot and diff against baseline to detect out-of-band changes at any time.

Smoke

Run assertions: record exists, field value matches, row count within threshold.
