Custom Apex adapter generation for Salesforce Connect — connects any external REST API to Salesforce as live, queryable External Objects without ETL or copying. TRIGGER when: connecting a non-standard external API, writing a DataSource.Provider/Connection or a `.cls`/`.cls-meta.xml` custom adapter class, adding a `.namedCredential-meta.xml` for the adapter's callout, surfacing external data as records, "custom adapter", "ExternalId field", "DataSource namespace", or whether custom Apex fits. DO NOT TRIGGER when: a standard adapter is already configured (OData, Snowflake), for copy/bulk-sync (use platform-data-manage), or for Apex callouts outside Connect (use platform-apex-generate or integration-connectivity-generate).

# Salesforce Connect — Custom Apex Adapter

Route the user through building a complete custom Salesforce Connect Apex adapter: two Apex classes, metadata deployment, and registration. Do not guess at the user's API shape — ask before generating.

## Scope

**In scope:** Generating `DataSource.Connection` and `DataSource.Provider` Apex classes, Named Credential metadata, deployment via sf CLI, and step-by-step Setup registration guidance for any REST API.

**Out of scope:** Configuring standard adapters (OData, Snowflake, GraphQL — those have their own flows). Generating the External Data Source metadata file (not deployable via sf CLI — must be registered manually in Setup). Writing Apex that calls external APIs outside the Salesforce Connect framework (use the platform-apex-generate or integration-connectivity-generate skills).

## Before starting

Confirm two things. If either is missing, ask before proceeding.
