🚀 New in Agentforce for Developers: Custom AI Code Generation Rules

🧠💻 

One of the most common pieces of feedback we've heard from you is:

Starting today, you can fix that. ✨ We’re excited to introduce

project’s standards and preferences. 

🧩 What’s new?

You can now define coding patterns, architectural guidance, or file-specific preferences in a version-controlled rules.md file, located at: .sfdx/a4d/rules/yourRules.md

Each rule lets you:

• Describe when and why it applies
• Specify what file types it should affect (like .cls, .js, or .html)
• Give detailed instructions the AI should follow when generating code

🔧 Why it matters

You get:

• More relevant, customized AI code suggestions
• Better alignment with your team's architecture and naming conventions
• Less manual rework of generated code

💡 Example Use Cases

• Want to enforce consistent test scaffolding in LWC? Add a rule.
• Have naming or structure conventions for JS files? You're covered.

# Rule: Apex Naming Conventions
**Description:** Enforce naming guidelines for Apex classes and methods.
**Applies to:** `**/*.cls`
**Guidelines:**
- Class names must be in PascalCase

🛠

1. Create the .sfdx/a4d/rules/yourRules.md file in your project
2. Add one or more rules using the format above
3. That’s it! The AI will automatically use matching rules whenever it generates code

📍 For now, rules are managed manually - but stay tuned: we’re working on further UX to help you create rules more easily right inside VS Code.
