Use when diagnosing SOQL performance problems caused by formula fields, hitting formula compile-size limits, or deciding whether to replace a formula field with a stored field for indexing. Triggers: 'formula field slowing SOQL', 'compile size limit', 'cross-object formula spanning limit', 'formula field not indexable', 'LDV query full table scan', 'SOQL WHERE on formula'. NOT for formula syntax help, building formula expressions, or authoring new formulas from scratch — use admin/formula-fields for that.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill activates when formula fields are creating SOQL performance problems, hitting platform size limits, or when a practitioner must decide whether a calculated value should remain a formula or be materialized into a stored indexed field. It covers the compile-size limit (5,000 compiled characters), cross-object spanning limits (10 relationships), non-indexability of formula fields, and the on-read recalculation model that makes LDV SOQL filters on formulas especially expensive.

What this skill does

Formula Field Performance And Limits is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/formula-field-performance-and-limits/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when diagnosing SOQL performance problems caused by formula fields, hitting formula compile-size limits, or deciding whether to replace a formula field with a stored field for indexing. Triggers: 'formula field slowing SOQL', 'compile size limit', 'cross-object formula spanning limit', 'formula field not indexable', 'LDV query full table scan', 'SOQL WHERE on formula'.
