Agent Skills & Plugins

Turn your coding agent into a B2C Commerce specialist. Skills cover the full platform — storefront and headless development, operational workflows, and everything in between — so your agent knows both how B2C Commerce works and which CLI commands to run.

Skills follow the open Agent Skills standard and work with Agentforce Vibes, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot (VS Code and CLI), Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity (IDE/CLI/SDK), Codex, OpenCode, and others. Install from your IDE's plugin marketplace or the B2C CLI (b2c setup skills).

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
# Use --scope project to install for current project only

# Core: CLI + platform skills + MCP server
claude plugin install b2c-cli
claude plugin install b2c
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
claude plugin install storefront-next
# storefront-next-figma adds Figma design-kit workflows (requires the Figma MCP server)
claude plugin install storefront-next-figma

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling
# Then in Codex, run /plugins, select the "B2C Developer Tooling"
# marketplace, and select and install the desired plugins.

Cursor

# Cursor reads skills from .cursor/skills/, .agents/skills/, and from
# Claude Code / Codex skill paths (.claude/skills/, .codex/skills/).
# If you've already installed via the Claude Code marketplace, Cursor
# will auto-discover those skills. Otherwise, install with the B2C CLI:
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills --ide cursor

Copilot (VS Code)

In VS Code, open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) and run:
  Chat: Install Plugin from Source
Then enter:
  SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

# Core: CLI + platform skills
copilot plugin install b2c-cli@b2c-developer-tooling
copilot plugin install b2c@b2c-developer-tooling
# For the MCP server on Copilot, install it directly — see /mcp/installation

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
copilot plugin install storefront-next@b2c-developer-tooling
copilot plugin install storefront-next-figma@b2c-developer-tooling

Gemini CLI

# One command installs the MCP server + project context:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

# Then add the agent skills (discovered from .gemini/skills):
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills b2c --ide gemini-cli
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills b2c-cli --ide gemini-cli

Antigravity

# Google Antigravity (IDE/CLI/SDK) reads skills from .agents/skills:
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills b2c --ide antigravity
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills b2c-cli --ide antigravity
# For the MCP server on Antigravity, see /mcp/installation

Agentforce Vibes

# Marketplace install coming soon. For now, use the B2C CLI:
npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills --ide agentforce-vibes

B2C CLI

npx @salesforce/b2c-cli setup skills

Claude Code

Add the marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

Install plugins at your preferred scope:

User Scope (default)

# Core: CLI + platform skills + MCP server
claude plugin install b2c-cli
claude plugin install b2c
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
claude plugin install storefront-next
# storefront-next-figma adds Figma design-kit workflows (requires the Figma MCP server)
claude plugin install storefront-next-figma

Project Scope

# Core: CLI + platform skills + MCP server
claude plugin install b2c-cli --scope project
claude plugin install b2c --scope project
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp --scope project

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
claude plugin install storefront-next --scope project
# storefront-next-figma adds Figma design-kit workflows (requires the Figma MCP server)
claude plugin install storefront-next-figma --scope project

Verify, update, or uninstall:

claude plugin list
claude plugin marketplace update
claude plugin update b2c-cli@b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin update storefront-next@b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin uninstall b2c-cli@b2c-developer-tooling
claude plugin marketplace remove b2c-developer-tooling

Codex

Add the marketplace:

codex plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

Then in Codex run /plugins, select the B2C Developer Tooling marketplace, and select and install the desired plugins.

Codex does not yet support installing plugins from the command line — installs happen from the interactive /plugins picker. You can also point Codex at a local marketplace directory by running codex plugin marketplace add <path-to-dir>.

Upgrade or remove the marketplace later with:

codex plugin marketplace upgrade b2c-developer-tooling
codex plugin marketplace remove b2c-developer-tooling

Note: The b2c-dx-mcp plugin is available only for Claude Code. For other clients, install the MCP server directly — see MCP Installation.

Note: The storefront-next-figma plugin requires the Figma MCP server to be configured in your AI tool — its skills drive the Figma design kit (duplicating the kit, syncing brand variables, and publishing Code Connect) through Figma's MCP tools. Install it alongside storefront-next when you also manage the design system in Figma.

Cursor

Cursor follows the open Agent Skills standard. Each skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (name, description, optional paths for glob scoping, and optional disable-model-invocation). Optional scripts/, references/, and assets/ subdirectories live alongside SKILL.md.

Skill Discovery Locations

Cursor automatically loads skills from these locations:

Path	Scope	Source
.cursor/skills/	Project	Native Cursor
.agents/skills/	Project	Native Cursor
~/.cursor/skills/	User	Native Cursor
~/.agents/skills/	User	Native Cursor
.claude/skills/	Project	Claude Code compatibility
~/.claude/skills/	User	Claude Code compatibility
.codex/skills/	Project	Codex compatibility
~/.codex/skills/	User	Codex compatibility

Because Cursor reads from Claude Code and Codex paths too, any plugin you've already installed via claude plugin install or codex plugin install is automatically picked up by Cursor — no separate install needed.

Install with the B2C CLI

Project Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide cursor
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide cursor
b2c setup skills storefront-next --ide cursor

User Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide cursor --global
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide cursor --global
b2c setup skills storefront-next --ide cursor --global

This writes skills to .cursor/skills/ (project) or ~/.cursor/skills/ (user). For monorepos, a .cursor/skills/ folder placed in a nested project directory is auto-scoped to files within that directory — no paths field required in SKILL.md.

Reuse Claude Code Plugin Installs

If you also use Claude Code, install once and Cursor will see the same skills:

claude plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

# Core: CLI + platform skills + MCP server
claude plugin install b2c-cli
claude plugin install b2c
claude plugin install b2c-dx-mcp

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
claude plugin install storefront-next
# storefront-next-figma adds Figma design-kit workflows (requires the Figma MCP server)
claude plugin install storefront-next-figma

Copilot

GitHub Copilot supports skills in both VS Code and the Copilot CLI.

Copilot (VS Code)

In VS Code, open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) and run Chat: Install Plugin from Source, then enter:

SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

Updating Copilot skills in VS Code

To pull the latest skills, open the Extensions view, click the ··· menu, and select Check for Extension Updates.

Copilot CLI

copilot plugin marketplace add SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

# Core: CLI + platform skills
copilot plugin install b2c-cli@b2c-developer-tooling
copilot plugin install b2c@b2c-developer-tooling
# For the MCP server on Copilot, install it directly — see /mcp/installation

# Storefront Next (only for Storefront Next projects)
copilot plugin install storefront-next@b2c-developer-tooling
copilot plugin install storefront-next-figma@b2c-developer-tooling

Microsoft Copilot desktop app is not the same product

The Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Copilot desktop app for Mac and Windows is a productivity assistant — it does not run local MCP servers or read repo Agent Skills (its extensibility is limited to tenant-published agents and connected apps). For B2C Commerce development, use GitHub Copilot in VS Code or the Copilot CLI above; those are GitHub Copilot's desktop surfaces and both are supported here.

Gemini

Skills and the b2c-dx-mcp MCP server work with Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist (VS Code / JetBrains).

Gemini CLI

The fastest path is the Gemini CLI extension, which bundles the MCP server and B2C project context (GEMINI.md) in a single install:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/b2c-developer-tooling

Update or remove it later with:

gemini extensions update b2c-developer-tooling
gemini extensions uninstall b2c-developer-tooling

The extension does not bundle the agent skills (the repo's skills are plugin-grouped, not laid out at the extension root). Install them with the B2C CLI — they land in the directories Gemini CLI discovers automatically:

Project Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide gemini-cli
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide gemini-cli

User Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide gemini-cli --global
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide gemini-cli --global

This writes to .gemini/skills/ (project) or ~/.gemini/skills/ (user). Gemini CLI also reads .agents/skills/.

Gemini Code Assist (VS Code / JetBrains)

Gemini Code Assist shares configuration with the Gemini CLI. In VS Code, once you've installed the extension (or added the MCP server to ~/.gemini/settings.json), the b2c-dx-mcp tools are available in agent mode. In JetBrains, configure the MCP server via the IDE's MCP settings and use GEMINI.md / AGENT.md for context. See MCP Installation for the exact server configuration.

Gemini desktop app (Mac/Windows) is not supported

The standalone Gemini app for Mac and Windows is a consumer assistant. It supports only Gems and Google-curated connected apps — it does not run local MCP servers or read repo Agent Skills. For B2C Commerce development, use Gemini CLI, Gemini Code Assist, or Google Antigravity instead.

Google Antigravity

Google Antigravity is an agent-first development platform available as an IDE, a CLI, and a Python SDK. It implements the same open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md folders) and supports MCP servers over stdio, so the B2C skills and b2c-dx-mcp work across all three surfaces.

Install the skills with the B2C CLI:

Project Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide antigravity
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide antigravity

User Scope

b2c setup skills b2c --ide antigravity --global
b2c setup skills b2c-cli --ide antigravity --global

This writes to .agents/skills/ (workspace) or ~/.gemini/config/skills/ (global) — the locations Antigravity discovers. For the b2c-dx-mcp MCP server, add it to .agents/mcp_config.json (workspace) or ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json (global); see MCP Installation.
