searching-media is a Claude Code skill that routes media search through Salesforce CMS and Data Cloud wrappers for developers retrieving images, logos, and graphics without calling low-level search tools directly.
About
searching-media is a Claude Code skill from forcedotcom/afv-library that must activate before any media search or retrieval request involving images, logos, icons, photos, graphics, banners, thumbnails, hero images, or backgrounds. It searches Salesforce CMS, Data 360, and other configured sources while explicitly blocking direct calls to search_media_cms_channels or search_electronic_media tools—agents go through this skill first without exception. The skill takes priority whenever find, fetch, retrieve, grab, look up, or locate media appears in user intent. Developers on Salesforce-centric stacks use it to standardize asset discovery and avoid bypassing governed CMS channels during agent-assisted UI or marketing builds.
- Universal routing skill that must be activated before any media search or retrieval tool
- Handles search and source selection workflow for Salesforce CMS, Data Cloud and other sources
- Triggers on any request involving finding, searching, fetching, or locating images, logos, icons, hero images, backgroun
- Prevents direct calls to search_media_cms_channels or search_electronic_media
- Takes priority and activates first when any media search or retrieval is mentioned

How do you search Salesforce CMS for media assets?
Reliably locate and retrieve existing visual assets from Salesforce CMS, Data Cloud, or other sources without directly invoking low-level search tools.
Who is it for?
Salesforce developers or agents building experiences that need governed CMS or Data Cloud media retrieval without raw tool bypass.
Skip if: Non-Salesforce asset stores, generating new images from scratch, or workflows that require calling search_media_cms_channels directly.
When should I use this skill?
Any user request mentions finding, searching, fetching, or retrieving media assets from Salesforce CMS or Data Cloud.
What you get
Retrieved images, logos, icons, or graphics from Salesforce CMS, Data 360, or configured media sources with skill-gated tool calls.
- Retrieved media asset references
- CMS search results

data360-query: Data Cloud Retrieve Phase
Use this skill when the user needs query, search, and metadata introspection for Data Cloud: sync SQL, paginated SQL, async query workflows, table describe, vector search, hybrid search, or search index operations.
When This Skill Owns the Task
Use data360-query when the work involves:
sf data360 query *sf data360 search-index *sf data360 metadata *sf data360 profile *orsf data360 insight *inspection- understanding Data Cloud SQL results or query shape
Delegate elsewhere when the user is:
- writing standard CRM SOQL only → platform-soql-query
- designing segment or calculated insight assets → data360-segment
- analyzing STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry → agentforce-observe
---
Required Context to Gather First
Ask for or infer:
- target org alias
- whether the user needs quick count, medium result set, large export, schema inspection, or semantic search
- table/index name if known
- whether the task is read-only SQL or search-index lifecycle management
---
Core Operating Rules
- Treat Data Cloud SQL as its own query language, not SOQL.
- Run the shared readiness classifier before relying on query/search surfaces:
node ../data360-orchestrate/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json. - Use describe before guessing columns.
- Prefer
sqlv2or async query flows for larger result sets. - Use vector search or hybrid search only when the search index lifecycle is healthy.
- Keep STDM/parquet/session-tracing workflows out of this skill family.
---
Recommended Workflow
1. Classify readiness for retrieve work
node ../data360-orchestrate/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --json
# optional query-plane probe, only with a real table name
node ../data360-orchestrate/scripts/diagnose-org.mjs -o <org> --phase retrieve --describe-table MyDMO__dlm --json2. Choose the smallest correct query shape
sf data360 query sql -o <org> --sql 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query sqlv2 -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query async-create -o <org> --sql 'SELECT * FROM "ssot__Individual__dlm"' 2>/dev/null3. Use describe before guessing fields
sf data360 query describe -o <org> --table ssot__Individual__dlm 2>/dev/null4. Use vector or hybrid search only when an index exists
sf data360 search-index list -o <org> 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query vector -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Knowledge_Index --query "reset password" --limit 5 2>/dev/null
sf data360 query hybrid -o <org> --index Insurance_Index --query "weather damage coverage" --prefilter "Type_of_Insurance__c='Home'" --limit 10 2>/dev/null5. Reuse curated search-index examples when creating indexes
Use the phase-owned examples instead of inventing JSON from scratch:
examples/search-indexes/vector-knowledge.jsonexamples/search-indexes/hybrid-structured.json
---
High-Signal Gotchas
- Data Cloud SQL is not SOQL.
- Table names should be double-quoted in SQL.
sqlv2is better than ad hoc OFFSET paging for medium result sets.- async query is preferable for large results.
- search-index operations and vector/hybrid queries depend on the index lifecycle being healthy.
- Hybrid search can use
--prefilter, but only on fields configured as prefilter-capable when the search index was created. - HNSW index parameters are typically read-only on create; leave
userValues: []unless the platform explicitly documents otherwise. query describeis not a universal tenant probe; only run it with a known DMO or DLO table after broader readiness has been confirmed.

Output Format
Retrieve task: <sql / sqlv2 / async / describe / vector / search-index>
Target org: <alias>
Target object: <table or index>
Commands: <key commands run>
Verification: <query rows / schema / status>
Next step: <segment / harmonize / follow-up>---
