# SAP Skills for AI Coding Assistants

40 SAP development plugins with evidence-tracked verification

[![License: GPL-3.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL%203.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Plugins](https://img.shields.io/badge/Plugins-40-brightgreen.svg)](.claude-plugin/marketplace.json)
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/Version-2.4.0-orange.svg)](CHANGELOG.md)

SAP development plugins for AI coding assistants, with public-source or package-registry verification tracked where available. Live tenant and system validation is tracked per plugin in `docs/project/source-verification-ledger.json`.

The repository is packaged for the Claude and Codex marketplaces, and the SAP
skill content is written to be portable. In clients such as OpenCode, Cursor, or Gemini
CLI, Claude-specific agents, hooks, slash commands, and MCP configs should be
treated as role guidance, optional validators, prompt templates, and connection
recipes unless that client supports them natively.

## Quick Start

### Supported agents via npx skills

Install via [vercel-labs/skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills). Supported agents are controlled by the upstream skills CLI; current examples include Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and other supported clients:

```bash
npx skills add secondsky/sap-skills
```

### Codex CLI (native marketplace)

Codex reads the repository marketplace from `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` and
uses the shared `SKILL.md` content. From a local checkout:

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add .
codex plugin add sap-abap@sap-skills
```

From GitHub, use sparse checkout to include the Codex registry and plugin
payloads:

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/secondsky/sap-skills.git --sparse .agents/plugins --sparse plugins
```

The native Codex layer is skills-first. Claude commands, agents, hooks, LSP
configuration, and MCP recipes remain available as optional Claude or manual
fallback resources. See the [manual MCP connection guide](https://github.com/secondsky/sap-skills/blob/HEAD/docs/contributor-guide/mcp-manual-connections.md)
before configuring any server. The generic `npx skills add` command above
remains a portable installation option.

### Claude Code (native marketplace)

```bash
# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add secondsky/sap-skills

# Install individual plugins
/plugin install sap-cap-capire@sap-skills

# Or install multiple at once
/plugin install sap-cap-capire@sap-skills sap-fiori-tools@sap-skills
```

**Team setup** — add at project scope:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add secondsky/sap-skills --scope project
```

Or configure `.claude/settings.json` directly:

```json
{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "sap-skills": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "secondsky/sap-skills"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Clone repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/secondsky/sap-skills.git
```

---

## How It Works

Once installed, plugins provide skills that automatically activate based on your project context:

- **"Create a new CAP service"** → `sap-cap-capire` activates
- **"Set up Fiori Elements app"** → `sap-fiori-tools` activates
- **"Deploy to BTP"** → `sap-btp-cloud-platform` activates
- **"Write ABAP CDS view"** → `sap-abap-cds` activates
- **"Create SAC planning model"** → `sap-sac-planning` activates

No manual invocation needed — the AI assistant loads relevant skills when you need them.

Claude-compatible clients may also activate bundled commands, agents, hooks, and
MCP servers. Other harnesses can still use the same files as Markdown guidance:
run hook validators manually when desired, follow command output contracts as
prompt templates, and configure MCP servers using the documented command,
arguments, environment variables, and safety notes.

## Building New Plugins

1. **Use plugin-dev for basics** (FIRST):
   - Run: `/use plugin-dev:skill-development`
   - Covers: YAML frontmatter, plugin structure, directory layout

2. **Add SAP-specific elements**:
   - Read [Contributor Guide](https://github.com/secondsky/sap-skills/tree/HEAD/docs/contributor-guide/) for SDK version tracking, production testing, and marketplace cross-references

3. **Generate plugin manifests**:
   ```bash
   ./scripts/sync-plugins.sh
   ```

4. **Test and verify**:
   - Check [Workflow Checklist](https://github.com/secondsky/sap-skills/blob/HEAD/docs/contributor-guide/workflow-checklist.md)
   - Run `npm run audit:skills` for capability inventory and stale verification reporting
   - Run `npm run audit:effectiveness` for README drift, routing, command-contract, and skill-effectiveness reporting
   - Run `npm run validate:codex` for Codex manifest, marketplace, and UI metadata checks
   - Run `npm run validate` before opening a PR

The sync script regenerates both manifest layers and the Codex UI metadata:
`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` and Claude manifests remain the Claude
contract, while `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`,
and `agents/openai.yaml` provide the parallel Codex contract.

5. **Submit**:
   ```bash
   git add plugins/your-plugin .claude-plugin/marketplace.json .agents/plugins
   git commit -m "Add your-plugin for [use case]"
   ```
