the-very-simple-list-of-agentforce-best-practices
A living, opinionated reference of Agentforce architecture principles, design patterns, and real-world lessons — distilled from hands-on Forward Deployed Engineering work and community contributions.
(See Strong Opinions, Loosely Held for the mindset behind this.)
🎯 Purpose
Keep Agentforce projects focused on business value, not over-engineering.
This site collects short, practical lessons from the field — what consistently works, what doesn’t, and why.
📚 Sections
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Principles | Core truths and heuristics for building scalable, value-driven Agentforce solutions. |
| Design Patterns | Reusable solutions and anti-patterns observed in real implementations — from cost governance to retrieval scope. |
| Blog | Short essays and reflections from hands-on Forward Deployed Engineering work. |
💡 Why “Very Simple”?
Simplicity isn’t the absence of complexity — it’s the discipline to keep focus on what matters most.
Each principle or pattern is written to be:
- Clear enough to act on today
- Flexible enough to evolve tomorrow
- Grounded in experience, not theory
