Transition to the Latest Agentforce Vibes Version 4.xx

Agentforce Vibes version v4.0+ is the latest evolution of the Agentforce Vibes extension. This version of Agentforce Vibes has received a major facelift — reimagined from the ground up and built on the Salesforce’s Coding Agent Platform.

This topic summarizes what’s new for developers transitioning from the previous version of Agentforce Vibes, including the redesigned experience, new capabilities, and changes introduced in the new Agentforce Vibes.

Chat — Streaming conversations with history, multi-tab chat windows, search and export, inline tool calls and reasoning traces, and a live context-window indicator with automatic compaction.

Models — A model picker spanning the latest Claude and GPT models, with Flex-mode selection and provider settings in the Settings panel.

Plan Mode — A chat-integrated planning flow. Describe what you want to build, iterate on the plan in conversation, then click Approve Plan to execute. No files change before you approve.

Tools and Approvals — Human-in-the-loop tool approval, a permission-mode engine with safety guards, a safe-command analyzer for shell execution, and inline review of agent edits through native VS Code diff.

@-mention Context — Pull files, problems, and terminal output into the conversation, with right-click context commands.

MCP — User-level mcp.json configuration, a platform-hosted server bundle with trust controls, and resilient connection UX with per-row reconnect and retry.

Rules and Skills — Author and manage Rules and Skills from the Toolkit panel, with a prompt foundation and skills-version display.

Onboarding — A first-launch prerequisites checklist and a guided project-creation welcome page.

Access and Monetization — Access gating for Developer Edition and non-SKU orgs, a client-side rate-limit subsystem, and a premium rate-limit picker.

Built on the Agent SDK -  A foundation developers can use to build custom agents, MCP integrations, and agentic workflows.

These capabilities exist in the latest release and continue to work as before:

  • Rules and Skills — same concepts, now managed in the Toolkit panel. Files moved from .a4drules/ to .vibes/rules/ and .vibes/skills/.
  • Inline code completions — same language support (Apex, LWC), now informed by connected org metadata.
  • Salesforce Trust Boundary — unchanged. Salesforce doesn’t use customer data to train models.
  • VS Code extension and Agentforce Vibes IDE — same marketplace presence and cloud IDE availability.
