What is Agentforce Vibes in Salesforce
The Salesforce development industry is rapidly evolving. Agentforce Vibes brings conversational, agentic AI into the developer workflow not as a stunt, but as an integrated set of tools that help teams prototype, generate and maintain Salesforce code and agents faster while keeping governance and enterprise controls in view. This blog walks through what Agentforce Vibes are, how to get it running both from the browser and from Visual Studio Code, how to turn it off when needed, how to accept the IDE terms and enable the Agentforce IDE, why a Developer Edition is useful for testing and a set of real-world scenarios that illustrate how teams can put it to work.
What are Agentforce Vibes in Salesforce?
Agentforce Vibes is Salesforce’s ‘Vibe coding’, which offers a suite of AI-powered developer tools and an IDE experience that translates natural-language prompts into code, test scaffolding, configuration guidance, and agent workflows. It is available as a VS Code extension and as a web-based Agentforce IDE (the reimagined Code Builder), and it’s built to respect enterprise governance.
The models are tuned for Salesforce patterns, and there are built-in controls that determine what the agent can do automatically. At core, Vibes is meant to accelerate routine tasks and to assist with more complex flows while providing safety rails so generated output matches the platform’s best practices.
Below are the screenshots of how it will look from the Setup and VS Code once the setup is done.
Getting started from the Salesforce UI
For a quick, org-based start, follow these steps from within a Salesforce org. Open Setup using the gear icon, use the Quick Find box and search for Agentforce Vibes and click the Agentforce Vibes entry. The first time an admin launches the IDE or Vibes features, a Terms & Conditions dialogue appears, accepting the agreement to enable the IDE for org users who have the appropriate permissions.
After acceptance, click the Agentforce (or Agentforce Vibes) entry again to launch the web IDE. It will connect to the org and surface metadata and context automatically. Trailhead learning modules and guided setups show this flow and recommend keeping both the org tab and the IDE tab open while configuring permissions and safe commands.
Quick Setup checklist
Click on the gear icon and search for Agentforce Vibes.
Click the Agentforce Vibes item, read and accept Terms & Conditions.
Ensure the intended users have the necessary permissions (View All Data or Admin-level roles for IDE access). Search for Agentforce Vibes IDE to see configurations.
Using Agentforce Vibes from VS Code (extension flow)
For local development, Agentforce Vibes ships as a VS Code extension (part of Salesforce’s extension pack). Install VS Code, add the Salesforce Extension Pack from the marketplace and then install the Agentforce Vibes/Agentforce DX extension. Once installed in VS Code, the Agentforce icon appears in the Activity Bar.
We can click it to open the chat-style pane (the Dev Assistant). The extension also exposes a status icon in the bottom bar that indicates whether Agentforce Vibes is enabled. Clicking the status area opens a command palette to enable or disable the assistant on demand. The extension integrates with Salesforce CLI and the standard SFDX workflows, so generated data can be pulled/pushed like any other metadata.
Make sure MCP is enabled from VS Code.
Example VS Code prompt (practical)
Open a scratch org project and the command palette. Click the Agentforce (Vibes) icon => type: “Generate LWC that renders a related Contact list for Account with pagination and unit tests.”
Review generated files, run local tests (sfdx force:apex:test: run or Apex tests in the org) and iterate.
How to disable Agentforce Vibes (when governance requires it)
Agentforce Vibes is convenient by default, but some teams will want it turned off in certain environments. There are multiple control points:
VS Code extension – Use the Agentforce status icon in the bottom status bar or run the enable/disable command from the command palette to toggle the extension.
Scratch orgs / DX config: for automated environments, edit config/project-scratch-def.json in the DX project to remove or disable the Agentforce Vibes flag so that newly created scratch orgs don’t enable vibe tooling.
Org-level admin: if the org admin has not accepted Agentforce IDE terms or has turned off the Agentforce toggle in Setup, users won’t be able to launch the IDE. That gives central control for governance and compliance.
Agentforce IDE option, T&C and the “accept” flow
When Agentforce IDE is made available to an org, an admin must accept the unified Terms & Conditions dialog (this same acceptance is used by related DX tools). After acceptance, the IDE becomes available in the Setup menu and the App Launcher. When first launched, the IDE walks through initial provisioning (it may take a moment to load org metadata).
The next UI steps are: open the Agentforce pane, check “I agree to the terms,” then click Enable & Start Building. This is the moment the web IDE becomes org-aware and authenticated. Make sure to provision the right permission sets to avoid exposing sensitive data to accounts that don’t require it.

Real-time scenarios, business and developer examples
Business scenario: Faster quoting automation
A revenue operations team needs custom validation and attachment of pricing rules to quotes across regions. Using Agentforce Vibes, we can quickly generate a Flow or Apex trigger that enforces regional pricing adjustments, plus a test class and a descriptive doc. The generated code becomes the starting point for peer review, reducing hours from the first draft.
Developer scenario: Onboard a new module
When a team is adding a new LWC-based UI for a case triage dashboard, Vibes helps by scaffolding the LWC, producing Apex controllers and creating sample mock data and unit tests. The code is not merged as-is; instead, it accelerates the first pass, letting engineers focus on business logic, edge cases and hardening.
Why these scenarios work
Agentforce Vibes is tuned to Salesforce coding patterns and integrates with established DX pipelines, which reduces the “Illusion” risk typical of general-purpose code assistants. For enterprises that want both speed and traceability, Vibes puts generated artifacts into the same source control and CI/CD flow that teams already use. Recent coverage and partnerships underline Salesforce’s investment in blending large language models into its platform for enterprise-grade scenarios.
Conclusion
Agentforce Vibes is a practical step toward bringing conversational AI into enterprise development workflows. When used responsibly with admin controls, permission gating and a clear review process, it raises the velocity on routine work while keeping teams in control. Picking a safe environment (Developer Edition or scoped scratch orgs), agreeing to the IDE terms once per org and making sure the extension is enabled only where appropriate gives teams the best of both speed and governance. As teams explore Vibes, keeping a focus on test coverage, peer review and secure command lists will make the difference between a helpful assistant and an uncontrolled experiment.
