What is Vibe Coding?

The term "vibe coding" was coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, describing a paradigm shift in software development where developers describe what they want in natural language, and AI generates the code.[1]

Rather than writing code line by line, developers "vibe" with an AI agent, iterating on ideas through conversation. The AI understands context, anticipates needs, and produces production-ready code that adheres to best practices.

The Enterprise Vibe Coding Race

Gartner predicts that 40% of production software will be created via vibe coding by 2028. This prediction has ignited a race among major technology providers:

5 Pro Tips for Power Users

Based on official guidance from the Salesforce Developer Blog, here are the top strategies to maximize your Agentforce Vibes productivity:[11]

1

Scratch Org Multiplier

Each scratch org gets its own 50-request quota. Create 5 scratch orgs to get 250 daily premium requests. Use the SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org command in VS Code to set this up quickly.

2

Master Slash Commands

/newrule - Define system prompts matching your coding standards
/newchat - Summarize context and start fresh (preserves knowledge)
/deep-planning - Generate comprehensive architectural plans
/reportbug - Create GitHub issues for unexpected behavior

3

Use @ Mentions for Context

Reference files and folders with @mentions instead of letting Vibe Codey discover them. Also works with @terminal, @problems, Git commits, and URLs. This saves requests by providing context upfront.

4

Understand the Consumption Model

"50 premium requests OR 1 million tokens, whichever is consumed first." Don't waste premium requests on simple tasks - reserve them for complex planning and coding sessions.

5

Disable in Production

Navigate to Setup > Agentforce Vibes Extensions > Disable. Always maintain human oversight in production environments. Use sandboxes and scratch orgs for AI-assisted development.

Important: Official Source for 50 Requests/Day

From the official Salesforce Developer Blog "Five Pro Tips for Using Agentforce Vibes":

"Each Salesforce org receives a daily quota of 50 premium requests or one million tokens, whichever is consumed first."[11]

Agentforce Vibes vs. Competitors

With 92% of developers now using AI coding tools, choosing the right one for Salesforce development matters. Here's an honest comparison:[12][13][14]

Tool Best For Price Salesforce Awareness Enterprise Security
Agentforce Vibes Salesforce-specific development Free (50 req/day) Native (built-in) Einstein Trust Layer
GitHub Copilot Inline suggestions, beginners $19/month individual Low Basic
Cursor Solo devs, fast prototyping $20/month pro Medium (with prompting) Standard
Windsurf Large codebases, teams $15/month Medium Standard
Claude Code Agentic coding, reasoning $20/month Medium (via MCP) Standard

The Key Difference

GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code are generalists learning Salesforce. You need to teach them your org's patterns, explain Salesforce-specific concepts, and verify their suggestions against platform constraints.

Agentforce Vibes is a Salesforce specialist from birth. It understands your metadata schema, knows the platform limits, follows Salesforce coding best practices, and integrates with your org's existing code patterns automatically.

When to Combine Tools

For mixed tech stacks: Many developers combine tools - use Agentforce Vibes for Salesforce-specific work and Cursor or Claude Code for general development. The DX MCP Server makes this seamless.

For pure Salesforce: Agentforce Vibes wins on context awareness and enterprise security. It's the only option that truly understands your org.

Enterprise Security with Einstein Trust Layer

Consumer vibe coding tools have been plagued by security concerns. Agentforce Vibes takes a fundamentally different approach with the Einstein Trust Layer:[15][16][17]

Einstein Trust Layer Features

Zero Data Retention

Third-party models (like GPT-5) never store your code, prompts, or responses. Data is processed and immediately discarded.

Data Masking

PII and sensitive data are automatically masked before prompts leave Salesforce infrastructure. Automatic demasking for accurate outputs.

Audit Trail

Every AI interaction is logged and traceable. Essential for compliance requirements and security reviews.

Role-Based Access

Control who can use Vibes features with Salesforce's native permission system. Disable in production with a simple toggle.

Enterprise Governance Capabilities

  • Full Salesforce Sandbox integration - Develop safely in isolated environments
  • Code Analyzer v5 - Automated security scanning for generated code
  • DevOps Center connectivity - Integrate with your CI/CD pipeline
  • GDPR, HIPAA compliance-ready - Built for regulated industries

Model Governance

All requests - whether to Salesforce-managed models or external models via MCP - are routed through the Einstein Trust Layer. This means:

  • Choose from Salesforce-managed models (xGen, GPT-5, Qwen 3.0)
  • Or bring your own via MCP
  • All requests get security benefits regardless of model
  • Consistent governance across your AI usage

For Regulated Industries

Healthcare, finance, and government organizations face strict compliance requirements. The Einstein Trust Layer provides the security controls, audit trails, and data protection features that make AI-assisted development possible in these environments. This isn't optional - it's mandatory for enterprise adoption.

7
MCP Integration: Connect Any Tool to Your IDE

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the de facto standard for agent-to-tool communication. Agentforce Vibes ships with extensive MCP support out-of-the-box:[18][19][20]

What is MCP?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI models securely communicate with external tools and data sources. Think of it as the USB of AI tools - a universal adapter that enables any AI agent to work with any compatible tool.

  • Salesforce metadata interaction
  • DevOps task management
  • Test execution from IDE
  • 20+ component-related tools for LWC development
  • aura-experts and lwc-experts toolsets
  • Connection to ANY MCP-compatible tool

The Bigger Picture

Salesforce is betting heavily on MCP becoming the industry standard. By building on an open protocol, Agentforce Vibes isn't locked into a proprietary ecosystem. As MCP adoption grows, so does the value of your investment in Agentforce Vibes.

Governor Limits & Usage Quotas

Understanding Agentforce Vibes limits is essential for optimizing your development workflow. Unlike traditional Salesforce governor limits that apply to Apex execution, Agentforce Vibes has its own set of usage quotas:[11][21]

Daily Request & Token Limits

50
Premium Requests per Org per Day
Uses GPT-5 model
1M
Tokens per Org per Day
Whichever limit is reached first
Unlimited
Overflow Requests
Uses Qwen 3.0 model after quota

Official Quota Definition

From Salesforce Developer Blog: "Each Salesforce org receives a daily quota of 50 premium requests or one million tokens, whichever is consumed first."[11]

Context & File Limits

Agentforce Vibes automatically manages context to stay within processing limits:[21]

  • Token limits affect context inclusion - Large files or extensive context may be truncated automatically
  • File size restrictions - Very large files may not be fully included in context
  • Automatic context management - The system optimizes what gets included to maximize effectiveness
  • Each file read consumes a request - Use @mentions to provide context upfront and save requests

Scratch Org Quota Multiplier Strategy

One of the most powerful optimization strategies for extending your daily limits:

How It Works

Every scratch org has its own separate quota of 50 premium requests. This quota is independent of your main org.

The Math

5 scratch orgs = 250 premium requests per day (50 x 5). This dramatically extends your vibe coding capacity on heavy development days.

# Create scratch orgs to multiply your quota sf org create scratch -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a dev1 sf org create scratch -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a dev2 sf org create scratch -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a dev3 # Each scratch org gives you 50 additional premium requests # 3 scratch orgs = 150 extra requests per day

Request Conservation Best Practices

  • Use @mentions for files - Inject file content directly instead of letting Vibe Codey discover files (each discovery consumes a request)
  • Reserve premium for complex tasks - Don't waste premium requests on trivial tasks that can be done via CLI or VS Code extensions
  • Use /newchat strategically - Summarize context and start fresh to preserve knowledge without consuming excessive tokens
  • Batch related requests - Plan your vibe coding session to maximize value from each request
  • Use slash commands - Commands like /deep-planning are optimized for comprehensive output per request

Model Fallback Behavior

When your premium quota is exhausted, Agentforce Vibes automatically falls back to the Qwen 3.0 model:

  • GPT-5 (Premium) - First 50 requests or 1M tokens of the day
  • Qwen 3.0 (Overflow) - All requests after premium quota is exhausted
  • xGen - Salesforce's in-house model, available for certain tasks

Future Paid Plans

Salesforce has announced plans to "launch a way to buy more requests, and the ability to use premium coding models, in a future release." This will allow teams that need more than the free tier to purchase additional capacity.[2]
