Required Context to Gather First
Ask for or infer:
- org alias
- failing transaction / user flow / test name
- approximate timestamp or transaction window
- user / record / request ID if known
- whether the goal is diagnosis only or diagnosis + fix loop
Recommended Workflow
1. Retrieve logs
sf apex list log --target-org <alias> --json
sf apex get log --log-id <id> --target-org <alias>
sf apex tail log --target-org <alias> --color
2. Analyze in this order
- entry point and transaction type
- exceptions / fatal errors
- governor limits
- repeated SOQL / DML patterns
- CPU / heap hotspots
- callout timing and external failures
3. Classify severity
- Critical — runtime failure, hard limit, corruption risk
- Warning — near-limit, non-selective query, slow path
- Info — optimization opportunity or hygiene issue
4. Recommend the smallest correct fix
Prefer fixes that are:
- root-cause oriented
- bulk-safe
- testable
- easy to verify with a rerun

High-Signal Issue Patterns
Issue
Primary signal
Default fix direction
SOQL in loop
repeating SOQL_EXECUTE_BEGIN in a repeated call path
query once, use maps / grouped collections
DML in loop
repeated DML_BEGIN patterns
collect rows, bulk DML once
Non-selective query
high rows scanned / poor selectivity
add indexed filters, reduce scope
CPU pressure
CPU usage approaching sync limit
reduce algorithmic complexity, cache, async where valid
Heap pressure
heap usage approaching sync limit
stream with SOQL for-loops, reduce in-memory data
Null pointer / fatal error
EXCEPTION_THROWN / FATAL_ERROR
guard null assumptions, fix empty-query handling
Expanded examples: references/common-issues.md
Output Format
When finishing analysis, report in this order:
- What failed
- Where it failed (class / method / line / transaction stage)
- Why it failed (root cause, not just symptom)
- How severe it is
- Recommended fix
- Verification step
Suggested shape:
Issue: <summary>
Location: <class / line / transaction>
Root cause: <explanation>
Severity: Critical | Warning | Info
Fix: <specific action>
Verify: <test or rerun step>
