Salesforce Support Macros is a VS Code extension I am preparing for publication on the Visual Studio Marketplace. It provides a categorized sidebar of Salesforce support macros, letting support engineers and developers quickly insert Apex snippets, run Salesforce CLI commands, or inspect org state with a few clicks.

Why publish this extension?

This extension is built for support teams who need a safer, faster way to perform repeatable org diagnostics and troubleshooting from inside VS Code.

Supports Salesforce Production and sandbox orgs with local-only logic
Provides insertable Apex templates, validated CLI workflows, and debug helpers
Reduces typing and context switching during incident response
