About sf-datacloud-retrieve

A skill for Salesforce Data Cloud retrieval tasks, including queries, search, and metadata inspection. It guides selection of synchronous, paginated, or asynchronous SQL and vector or hybrid search, with checks for schemas and index readiness.

Key features

  1. 01Runs Data Cloud SQL queries
  2. 02Supports paginated and asynchronous query flows
  3. 03Inspects table schemas and metadata
  4. 04Performs vector and hybrid search
  5. 05Checks search-index status

Use cases

  1. 01Inspect records or fields in Data Cloud tables
  2. 02Run asynchronous queries for large result sets
  3. 03Search semantically or with hybrid search using an existing index

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

sf-datacloud-retrieve: Data Cloud Retrieve Phase

Use this skill when the user needs query, search, and metadata introspection for Data Cloud: sync SQL, paginated SQL, async query workflows, table describe, vector search, hybrid search, or search index operations.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use sf-datacloud-retrieve when the work involves:

  • sf data360 query *
  • sf data360 search-index *
  • sf data360 metadata *
  • sf data360 profile * or sf data360 insight * inspection
  • understanding Data Cloud SQL results or query shape

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

  • target org alias
  • whether the user needs quick count, medium result set, large export, schema inspection, or semantic search
  • table/index name if known
  • whether the task is read-only SQL or search-index lifecycle management

Core Operating Rules

  • Treat Data Cloud SQL as its own query language, not SOQL.
  • Run the shared readiness classifier before relying on query/search surfaces: node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json.
  • Use describe before guessing columns.
  • Prefer sqlv2 or async query flows for larger result sets.
  • Use vector search or hybrid search only when the search index lifecycle is healthy.
  • Keep STDM/parquet/session-tracing workflows out of this skill family.

Recommended Workflow

1. Classify readiness for retrieve work
node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json
# optional query-plane probe, only with a real table name
node ~/.claude/skills/sf-datacloud/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --describe-table MyDMO__dlm --json
2. Choose the smallest correct query shape
sf data360 query sql -o <org> --sql 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query sqlv2 -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query async-create -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
3. Use describe before guessing fields
sf data360 query describe -o <org> --table ssot__Individual__dlm 2>/dev/null
4. Use vector or hybrid search only when an index exists
sf data360 search-index list -o <org> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query vector -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Insurance_Index --query "weather damage coverage" --prefilter "Type_of_Insurance__c='Home'" --limit 10 2>/dev/null
5. Reuse curated search-index examples when creating indexes

Use the phase-owned examples instead of inventing JSON from scratch:

  • examples/search-indexes/vector-knowledge.json
  • examples/search-indexes/hybrid-structured.json

High-Signal Gotchas

  • Data Cloud SQL is not SOQL.
  • Table names should be double-quoted in SQL.
  • sqlv2 is better than ad hoc OFFSET paging for medium result sets.
  • async query is preferable for large results.
  • search-index operations and vector/hybrid queries depend on the index lifecycle being healthy.
  • Hybrid search can use --prefilter, but only on fields configured as prefilter-capable when the search index was created.
  • HNSW index parameters are typically read-only on create; leave userValues: [] unless the platform explicitly documents otherwise.
  • query describe is not a universal tenant probe; only run it with a known DMO or DLO table after broader readiness has been confirmed.

Output Format

Retrieve task: <sql / sqlv2 / async / describe / vector / search-index>
Target org: <alias>
Target object: <table or index>
Commands: <key commands run>
Verification: <query rows / schema / status>
Next step: <segment / harmonize / follow-up>
