Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

  Creates and updates ABAP Dictionary objects in SAP via SE11 using SAP GUI Scripting.
  Supports all 9 DDIC object types: Database table, View, Data element, Structure,
  Table type, Type group, Domain, Search help, and Lock object. Uses tab-delimited
  definition files for structured input. Existence check, create or
  update, save, and activation.
  Also supports delete mode: when the user asks to delete a DDIC object
  (e.g. "delete table ZTABLE", "drop structure ZSTRUCT", "remove domain
  ZDOM"), routes by object type to the correct SE11 radio + name field,
  presses Shift+F2 from the initial screen, confirms via btnSPOP-OPTION1
  (Yes), handles dependent-object and post-delete TR popups, and
  verifies removal. Deletion is irreversible — the skill asks for
  explicit confirmation before running the VBS. For database tables,
  SE14 is the canonical drop path; this skill flags the SE14 fallback
  if the SE11 delete leaves the table in place.
  Prerequisites: Active SAP GUI session (use /sap-login first).

SAP SE11 ABAP Dictionary Skill

You create and update ABAP Dictionary objects in a live SAP system via SE11 using SAP GUI Scripting. The skill checks if the object exists, then creates or updates it with full lifecycle (define → check → save → activate).

Shared Resources

| File | Purpose | |---|---| | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/safety_policy.md` | **Rule 0 (highest priority)** — environment guard; enforced by Step 0.6 via `sap_safety_gate.ps1` | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/skill_operating_rules.md` | Mandatory operating rules | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/tr_resolution.md` | TR resolution flow — this skill delegates to `/sap-transport-request` (Step 1b) instead of asking for the TR itself | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/language_independence_rules.md` | GUI-scripting language independence — identify by component ID + DDIC field name, status-bar checks via `MessageType` codes (S/W/E/I/A), VKey instead of menu-text, no branching on `.Text`/`.Tooltip`/window titles | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/ddic_excel_layout_rules.md` | DDIC Excel-spec authoring rules — when the spec was extracted via `/sap-docs-extract`, check naming-suffix consistency, primitive-type-as-DTEL trap, currency reference, column order before deploying. | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/abap_code_quality_rules.md` | ABAP code-quality rules — informs DDIC choices that affect ABAP source quality downstream (data-element vs. primitive type, currency reference, length consistency); also applies when the user supplies hand-written DDIC ABAP code (search helps with exit FMs, lock-object Z modules). | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/sap_gui_security_handling.md` | SAP GUI Security dialog handling — the **activation-log "Save Local File"** path (`CaptureActivationLog`, fired on an activation error during create/update) is SAP-GUI-side file IO, so it can raise the modal "SAP GUI Security" dialog (which suspends the Scripting API and hangs cscript). The create/update Execute steps run the OS-level watcher around the cscript so the dialog is auto-dismissed if the activation-log save trips it. | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/scripts/sap_gui_security_precheck.ps1` | Read-only allow-list pre-check (`saprules.xml`) — `ALLOWED` (exit 0) / `NOT_COVERED` (exit 1). Used by the create/update Execute steps for the activation-log path. | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/scripts/sap_gui_security_sidecar.ps1` | OS-level (Win32) watcher that auto-dismisses the SAP GUI Security dialog (ticks Remember + clicks Allow). Launched as a background process before the create/update cscript, since the activation-log save fires conditionally on an activation error. |

Step 0 — Resolve Work Directory

**Resolve `work_dir` via the env-aware helper** — do NOT take `work_dir` from a direct `settings.json` read (that ignores the `SAPDEV_AI_WORK_DIR` env var and `userconfig.json`). Use the `WORK_DIR=` value printed by:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ". '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_settings_lib.ps1'; . '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_connection_lib.ps1'; Write-Output ('WORK_DIR=' + (Get-SapWorkDir)); Write-Output ('RUN_TEMP=' + (Get-SapRunTemp))"

The settings note below still applies to the OTHER keys.

**Settings reads/writes follow `shared/rules/settings_lookup.md`** — merge per-key on the `.value` field (env var → `settings.local.json` → `userconfig.json` → `settings.json`); non-per-connection writes go to `userconfig.json`. Resolve sap-dev-core paths: 2 levels up from `<SKILL_DIR>` to the plugin root, then `settings.json` and (if present) `settings.local.json`. Read `custom_url`.

| Setting | Default if blank | |---|---| | `work_dir` | `C:\sap_dev_work` | | `custom_url` | `{work_dir}\custom` |

Set `{WORK_TEMP}` = `{work_dir}\temp`

Ensure the temp directory exists:

cmd /c if not exist "{WORK_TEMP}" mkdir "{WORK_TEMP}"

Set `{RUN_TEMP}` = the `RUN_TEMP=` value printed above — a fresh per-run scratch directory `{work_dir}\temp\run_<id>`, already created by `Get-SapRunTemp`. Resolve it **once here** and reuse the same value for the rest of this invocation; it isolates this run's generated wrappers / state / scratch files so concurrent runs (parallel sub-agents, multi-connection deploys) never collide. **`{WORK_TEMP}` stays the base temp dir** and is used ONLY for `Get-SapCurrentSessionPath -WorkTemp '{WORK_TEMP}'` (the session-attach plumbing derives `{work_dir}\runtime` from its parent, so it must see the base path, not the run dir). Everything the skill writes itself goes under `{RUN_TEMP}`.

Step 0.5 — Start Logging

Start a structured log run. State file: `{RUN_TEMP}\sap_se11_run.json`. Best-effort.
