Salesforce Code Builder
What Salesforce Code Builder is
Salesforce Code Builder, now called Agentforce Vibes IDE, is a cloud-hosted Visual Studio Code environment for creating Salesforce applications in a browser. It launches from an org’s Setup menu, authenticates to that org, and loads metadata into an SFDX project. The workspace includes Salesforce Extensions, Salesforce CLI, GitHub integration, and support for DevOps Center. Supported Salesforce technologies include Apex, SOQL, Visualforce, Lightning web components, and Aura components. Agentforce Vibes adds context-based code generation, explanations, inline Apex and LWC completion, test-case generation, and tools for planning, building, debugging, testing, and deploying agents, apps, and metadata. Users can deploy and test against scratch orgs, sandboxes, or Developer Edition orgs. Developer Edition orgs include free daily access of 50 requests or one million tokens, whichever comes first. Licenses list 25 hours monthly, with unused hours expiring.
