Agentforce Bot Upgrade
Use this skill to Upgrade Einstein Bots into Agentforce agents end-to-end in a single pass, orchestrating per-bot Agent Spec generation, planner reconciliation across bots, agentforce-generate authoring, and post-conversion .agent enhancements. TRIGGER when: user asks to migrate, upgrade, or convert one or more Einstein Bots to Agentforce; runs a multi-bot bot-to-agent upgrade; needs Einstein Bot metadata turned into Agent Spec handoffs and generated .agent agents; convert bots to agents; upgrade my service bots; move bots to Agentforce. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user already has an approved Agent Spec and only wants direct .agent authoring, deploy, test, or observe flows; the request is unrelated to Einstein Bot migration.

What this skill tells the agent
Einstein Bot Upgrade Orchestrator
Purpose
Run a multi-bot upgrade-and-handoff cycle:
- Parse and validate bot/version pairs from
--bots - Follow Generate Agent Spec Reference per bot-version pair (parallelizable)
- Aggregation step that requires all generated Agent Specs
/agentforce-generateper Agent Spec (parallelizable)- Post-conversion enhancement pass per generated Agent Script (parallelizable)
Inputs
Inputs:
--mode <online|offline>is optional; default isonlinewhen omitted.- If
mode=online, required: --org-alias <org-alias>--bots <bot1:v1,bot2:v2,...>- If
mode=offline, required: --offline-dir <offline-dir>--interactive <true|false>is optional; default istruewhen omitted.
If required inputs are missing, handle per the Missing Input Handling and Interactive Mode rules below.
Interactive Mode
--interactive controls whether the skill pauses for user input during execution:
--interactive true(default): resolve ambiguities, open questions, and approval gates by asking the user, as described in this skill and its references.--interactive false: run autonomously. Do NOT prompt the user at any decision point. For every open question, ambiguity, or approval gate, apply the documented recommended default/solution and record the auto-applied decision in the run artifacts (Agent Spec, open questions, extraction summary). The only hard stops permitted without prompting are inputs that are missing or contradictory with no safe recommended default — a missing mandatory launch input (--org-alias/--botsfor online,--offline-dirfor offline), no bots discovered, or the same bot given multiple versions. In those cases, report the issue and halt without prompting.
Propagate the effective --interactive value to the per-bot Generate Agent Spec workflow (Step 2), the planner workflow (Step 3), and the post-conversion enhancement pass (Step 5).
Missing Input Handling
Resolve missing required launch inputs before Step 1:
- Online mode — `--org-alias` not provided. Resolve this before attempting to list bots (listing requires a target org).
- Interactive: list the available aliases of logged-in orgs and ask the user to select the target org. Use the SF CLI patterns in SF CLI Bot Reference.
- Non-interactive: halt with an explicit error naming the missing
--org-aliasinput (do not prompt or list).
- Online mode — bot name and version (`--bots`) not available.
- Interactive: using
--org-aliasas the target org, list every bot and its versions in the org, then ask the user to select the bot/version entries they want to convert to agents. Use theBotDefinitionandBotVersionquery patterns in SF CLI Bot Reference — omit the name/version filters to enumerate all bots and versions — present the results, and build the--botsworkload from the user's selection. - Non-interactive: halt with an explicit error naming the missing
--botsinput (do not prompt or list).
- Offline mode — `--offline-dir` not available.
- Interactive: ask the user to provide the
--offline-dirpath, then continue. - Non-interactive: fail with an explicit error naming the missing
--offline-dirinput (do not prompt).

Execution Contract
Step 1: Parse and Validate --bots
Execute Step 1 in this order:
- Resolve mode:
- If
--modeomitted, useonline.
- Start fresh for this invocation:
- do not discover, inspect, or reuse outputs from previously existing runs
- treat this invocation as a clean execution context
- only use artifacts produced during the current invocation flow
- Build initial workload list:
mode=online: read--botsand split by comma.mode=offline: scan<offline-dir>and collect immediate sub-directories as bot workload roots.
- Validate input shape:
mode=online: each--botstoken must match<bot-name>:<version>.mode=offline: ensure at least one bot sub-directory exists; otherwise STOP (in interactive mode ask the user to clarify; in non-interactive mode halt with an explicit error per the Interactive Mode rule).
- Normalize workload entries:
mode=online: build{bot_name, bot_version}entries.mode=offline: build{offline_bot_dir}entries (Annotate inferred bot name and version when derivable from the sub-directory structure; if not derivable, leave the entry unnamed and continue).
- Enforce one-version-per-bot rule (online mode):
- If the same
bot_nameappears with multiple versions, STOP (in interactive mode ask the user to clarify; in non-interactive mode halt with an explicit error per the Interactive Mode rule).
- Apply offline bot filter:
- If
mode=offlineand--botsis provided, use--botsonly as a filter over discovered sub-directories; do not treat it as required offline input.
- Persist Step 1 output:
- Save and carry forward a validated workload list for Step 2 parallel execution.
Step 2: Run Einstein Bot Upgrade (Per Bot-Version)
Execute the agent spec generation workflow from Generate Agent Spec Reference per bot-version combination:
--mode <online|offline>(defaultonlineif omitted)- mode-specific required inputs:
- online ->
--org-alias,--bot,--bot-version - offline ->
--offline-dir --interactive <true|false>(pass through the effective orchestrator value; defaulttrue)
Parallelization rule:
- In
mode=online, execute invocations in parallel because each bot-version pair is independent. - In
mode=offline, execute the Generate Agent Spec Reference workflow in parallel over every bot sub-directory discovered in Step 1. - Pass
--mode offlineand--offline-dir <bot-subdirectory-path>per invocation.
Ensure each invocation (online/offline) uses isolated working directories to avoid cross-run file collisions.
Hard rules:
- Do not skip this step.
Step 3: Aggregation + Planner Step (Conditional)
After all upgrade invocations complete:
- Always build a consolidated list of
{bot_name, bot_version, run_project_dir, agent_spec_path}. - Always build list of failed/incomplete upgrade runs (if any).
- Always build an initial ready-for-authoring list containing only valid Agent Spec entries.
- Each entry must include:
{bot_name, bot_version, run_project_dir, agent_spec_path, handoff_json_path, open_questions_path}.
- If total bot workload count is greater than 1:
- Execute planner workflow from Planner Workflow Reference using:
- all ready-for-authoring
agent_spec_pathvalues asspec_paths - orchestrator working directory as
working_dir - the associated per-spec artifacts from each ready-for-authoring entry:
handoff_json_path(handoff JSON) andopen_questions_path(open questions) - Require output file at
<orchestrator working directory>/bot-upgrade-planner-output.json. - Read
bot-upgrade-planner-output.jsonand apply:
