Use when creating a new custom field on any Salesforce object: choosing field type, setting API name, configuring Field-Level Security, adding to page layouts, and deploying. Triggers: 'add a field', 'new custom field', 'what field type should I use', 'FLS not working', 'field not showing on page layout'. NOT for creating the object itself - use admin/object-creation-and-design. NOT for formula field logic - use admin/formula-fields. NOT for picklist value set management - use…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Custom Field Creation

Use this skill when a practitioner needs to add a new custom field to any Salesforce object — from choosing the right field type through FLS configuration, page layout placement, and deployment to production. The skill covers all field types on both standard and custom objects.

---

## Before Starting

Gather this context before working on field creation:

| Context | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Target object | Standard object (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case, Lead) or custom object? |
| Data type | What kind of data is being stored? Text, number, date, a relationship to another object, a yes/no flag? |
| Cardinality | Is there a fixed set of valid values (use Picklist) or free-form text? |
| Who needs access | Which profiles or permission sets need read vs. edit access? |
| Required? | Does every record need this field? If yes, existing records and integrations must be able to provide the value. |
| Deployment target | Is this going to production? Change set or SFDX/sf CLI? |

The most common wrong assumption: creating a field is enough to make it visible to users. It is not. FLS and page layout must also be configured.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pranavnagrecha/awesomesalesforceskills/custom-field-creation@sha256:9b66869f12d6004d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
