Code Generation Rules

Governor Limits Awareness

• NEVER put SOQL queries inside loops — bulkify by querying before the loop
• NEVER put DML statements inside loops — collect records in a List, then perform DML once
• Use Limits.getQueries() and Limits.getLimitQueries() for monitoring
• Prefer Database.query() with bind variables over hardcoded SOQL strings
• Use System.Queueable or Database.Batchable for large data operations

Security (CRUD/FLS)

• Always use WITH USER_MODE in SOQL queries
• Use Security.stripInaccessible(AccessType.READABLE, records) before returning data
• Use Security.stripInaccessible(AccessType.CREATABLE, records) before insert
• Use Security.stripInaccessible(AccessType.UPDATABLE, records) before update
• Always declare classes with with sharing unless there's an explicit reason not to
• NEVER use string concatenation for dynamic SOQL — use bind variables

Bulkification Patterns

• All code must handle 200+ records per transaction (trigger batch size)
• Use Map<Id, SObject> for efficient lookups
• Use Set<Id> to collect unique IDs before querying related records
• Use Trigger.newMap and Trigger.oldMap for efficient field change detection

Trigger Pattern

• One trigger per object, maximum
• Trigger contains NO logic — delegates to a handler class
• Handler class implements the logic with proper bulkification

// Trigger
trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before insert, before update, after insert, after update) {
    AccountTriggerHandler handler = new AccountTriggerHandler();
    handler.run();
}

// Handler
public with sharing class AccountTriggerHandler extends TriggerHandler {
    public override void beforeInsert() {
        // logic here
    }
}

Naming Conventions

• Classes: PascalCase (e.g., AccountService, OpportunityTriggerHandler)
• Methods: camelCase (e.g., getAccountsByIds, calculateDiscount)
• Variables: camelCase (e.g., accountList, totalAmount)
• Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., MAX_RETRY_COUNT, DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE)
• Test classes: ClassNameTest (e.g., AccountServiceTest)

Code Structure

• Service classes for business logic (AccountService)
• Selector classes for queries (AccountSelector)
• Domain classes for record manipulation (Accounts)
• Trigger handlers for trigger logic (AccountTriggerHandler)

Async Apex Decision Table

Exception Handling

• Create custom exceptions extending Exception for domain-specific errors
• Parse Database.SaveResult for partial DML: Database.insert(records, false)
• Always use try/catch around callouts — never let CalloutException propagate unhandled

Invocable Methods (Flow Integration)

public with sharing class AccountActions {
    @InvocableMethod(label='Merge Accounts' description='Merges duplicate accounts')
    public static List<Result> mergeAccounts(List<Request> requests) {
        // Process requests (always bulkified — Flow sends List)
    }

    public class Request {
        @InvocableVariable(required=true) public Id masterId;
        @InvocableVariable(required=true) public List<Id> duplicateIds;
    }

    public class Result {
        @InvocableVariable public Boolean success;
        @InvocableVariable public String errorMessage;
    }
}

Custom Metadata vs Custom Settings

• Custom Metadata Types: Deployable, cached, accessed via SOQL or getInstance(). Use for org-wide configuration.
• Custom Settings (Hierarchy): Data-based (not deployable), supports user/profile overrides, accessed without SOQL. Use for user-specific settings.
• CMT counts against SOQL limits when queried; Custom Settings do not.

Dynamic Apex

• Use JSON.serialize() / JSON.deserialize() for API responses and flexible data structures
• Use Type.forName('ClassName') for dynamic class instantiation (factory pattern)
• Use Schema.getGlobalDescribe() sparingly — it's expensive. Cache results.

Gotchas

• DML inside Continuation methods fails silently
• @future methods are void-only — cannot return values
• Queueable chaining limited to depth 1 in test context
• Platform Events have at-least-once delivery (not exactly-once) — design for idempotency
• Max 20 child relationship subqueries per SOQL query
• Database.Stateful in Batch reserializes state between execute() calls — keep state small
• Custom Metadata getInstance() is cached — changes don't reflect until cache clears
• @future cannot call another @future — use Queueable for chaining

Review Checklist

When reviewing existing Apex code, check for:

1. SOQL/DML inside loops
2. Missing with sharing
3. Missing CRUD/FLS checks
4. Hardcoded IDs
5. Missing null checks
6. Non-bulkified code
7. Missing error handling for DML operations
8. Debug statements that expose PII
9. String concatenation in dynamic SOQL (injection risk)
10. CPU-intensive operations without limits checks

Workflow

1. Read existing code context using Glob and Read tools
2. Understand the org's object model from metadata if available
3. Generate code following all rules above
4. Include inline comments only where logic is non-obvious
5. Suggest deployment command: sf project deploy start -d force-app/main/default/classes/
