AI-Assisted Error Analysis

sfp provides intelligent AI-assisted error analysis to help developers quickly understand and resolve validation failures. When enabled through the errorAnalysis configuration in ai-assist.yaml, the system automatically analyzes error patterns and provides actionable insights.

Quick Setup

1. Create config/ai-assist.yaml in your project root:

   mkdir -p config
   touch config/ai-assist.yaml

2. Add the minimal configuration:

   # config/ai-assist.yaml
   errorAnalysis:
     enabled: true

3. Set your LLM provider credentials (e.g., in CI/CD secrets)

That's it! AI error analysis will automatically activate during validation failures.

How It Works

1. Change Significance Analysis

Before triggering AI analysis, sfp evaluates if changes are significant enough to warrant review:

• Metadata Type Detection: Uses Salesforce ComponentSet for accurate identification
• Smart Thresholds: Different thresholds per file type (Apex: 3 lines, Flows: 1 line, LWC: 10 lines)
• Automatic Exclusions: Skips non-critical metadata (CustomLabels, StaticResources, Translations)

2. Error Analysis

When validation fails and changes are significant, AI provides:

• Root Cause Analysis: Understanding why the error occurred
• Quick Fix Suggestions: Immediate actions to resolve issues
• Related Components: Other files that might be involved
• Documentation Links: References to relevant Salesforce docs

Configuration

Configure AI assistance through config/ai-assist.yaml:

# config/ai-assist.yaml

# Error Analysis Configuration
errorAnalysis:
  enabled: true                    # Enable/disable AI error analysis
  provider: anthropic              # AI provider: anthropic, openai, amazon-bedrock, github-copilot
  model: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929  # Optional - uses the provider default if omitted
  timeout: 180000                  # Timeout in ms (default: 3 minutes)
  maxSuggestedFixes: 5             # Max number of fix suggestions

# Change Significance Configuration
architecture:
  changeSignificance:
    # Metadata types to exclude from analysis
    excludedMetadataTypes:
      - CustomLabels
      - StaticResource
      - CustomTab

    # Thresholds for triggering analysis
    fileTypeThresholds:
      apex:
        lines: 3    # Very strict for Apex
        files: 1
      flows:
        lines: 1    # Any flow change
        files: 1
      lwc:
        lines: 10   # More lenient for UI
        files: 2

Usage

AI error analysis is automatically enabled when:

1. A config/ai-assist.yaml file exists in your project
2. The errorAnalysis.enabled flag is set to true
3. Valid LLM provider credentials are available

No additional CLI flags are required - sfp automatically detects and uses the configuration.
