It checks each package on npm and each repository on GitHub, and lists the hub documents that mention the tool. - "Bundled" plugins ship inside the CLI: `sf plugins --core` shows yours. "(community)" marks tools not owned by Salesforce. - Check what you have with `sf --version` and `npm view version deprecated`, and pin what you tested with. - Repositories and pinned commits: `reference/overview/source-repositories.md`. ## Command line | Tool | Use it for | Get it | Checked version | Used in | |---|---|---|---|---| | [Salesforce CLI (`sf`)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/cli) | Orgs, auth, deploy, data, Apex and agents from the shell; everything in this hub uses it | `npm install --global @salesforce/cli` | 2.155.7 (2026-10-22) | `_boot/START.md` +24 | | [`sf agent` (plugin-agent, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-agent) | Generate, validate, preview, publish, activate and test agents | Bundled with the CLI | 2.2.3 (2026-10-16) | `_boot/START.md` +13 | | [`sf project deploy` and `retrieve` (bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-deploy-retrieve) | Deploy, retrieve, validate, quick deploy, test levels | Bundled | 4.2.19 (2026-10-21) | `guides/agentforce/build-agent-with-agentforce-dx.md` +8 | | [`sf org login` (plugin-auth, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-auth) | Web, JWT and access-token logins | Bundled | 6.0.0 (2026-10-16) | `guides/agentforce/build-agent-with-agentforce-dx.md` +6 | | [`sf org` (plugin-org, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-org) | Create scratch orgs, sandboxes and agent users; open and display orgs | Bundled | 7.0.2 (2026-10-18) | `guides/agentforce/build-agent-with-agentforce-dx.md` +4 | | [`sf data` (plugin-data, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-data) | SOQL queries, record CRUD, tree and bulk import and export | Bundled | 5.1.19 (2026-10-18) | `reference/agentforce/agent-errors.md` | | [`sf apex` (plugin-apex, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-apex) | Run anonymous Apex and Apex tests, tail logs | Bundled | 4.4.4 (2026-10-14) | — | | [`sf package` (plugin-packaging, bundled)](https://github.com/salesforcecli/plugin-packaging) | Unlocked and managed (2GP) packages | Bundled | 3.0.14 (2026-10-11) | — | | [Code Analyzer v5 (`sf code-analyzer`)](https://github.com/forcedotcom/code-analyzer) | Static analysis of Apex, LWC and flows (PMD, ESLint and others).
