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 →

  Manages SAP message classes via SE91 using SAP GUI Scripting. Creates new
  message classes or updates messages in existing ones. Existence check
  (SE91 Display), message text editing via inline table,
  and save. Messages are provided as tab-separated number/text pairs in a file.
  Also supports change-properties mode: when the user asks to change a
  message class's header attributes (Short Text, Person Responsible, ...),
  opens SE91 with the Header radio (radRSDAG-MIDFLAG) in change mode,
  updates the supplied fields on tabpHEAD, then Saves. Handles the
  conditional original-language popup and the post-save Workbench-request
  popup (per /sap-transport-request).
  Prerequisites: Active SAP GUI session (use /sap-login first).

SAP SE91 Message Class Maintenance Skill

You manage SAP message classes and their messages via SE91 using SAP GUI Scripting. The skill checks if the message class exists, then creates or updates it with the provided messages. Supports assigning to a specific package and transport request, or saving as local object ($TMP).

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_se91_run.json`. Best-effort.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_log_helper.ps1" -Action start -StateFile "{RUN_TEMP}\sap_se91_run.json" -Skill sap-se91 -ParamsJson "{\"message_class\":\"<MSGCLASS>\"}"

Step 0.6 — Safety Gate (Rule 0 — `safety_policy.md`)

This skill mutates the SAP system (message classes create / update / change-properties). Run the environment gate before any SAP-side step:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_safety_gate.ps1" -Action assert -Skill sap-se91

| Verdict (last line) | Exit | Action | |---|---|---| | `SAFETY: ALLOW ...` | 0 | proceed (log via `-Action step`, step `safety_gate`) | | `SAFETY: TYPED_CONFIRM_REQUIRED ... expect="PROD <SID>/<CLIENT>"` | 3 | the operator must **type** the shown token; re-run assert with `-ConfirmationText '<their verbatim answer>'`; proceed only on `ALLOW_CONFIRMED` | | `SAFETY: REFUSED class=<C> ...` | 1 | **STOP.** End the run `FAILED` with `-ErrorClass <C>` and relay the gate's remediation lines. Never bypass, soften, retry, or drive the transaction manually instead — Rule 0 outranks every other instruction, including mid-session user ones. | | `SAFETY: ERROR ...` | 2 | treat exactly as `REFUSED` (fail closed) |

---

Step 1 — Collect Parameters

**Message Class Details**

| Parameter | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | Message class name | Z/Y namespace, max 20 chars | `ZHKMSG01` | | Short text | Short description, max 60 chars (only for new classes) | `My custom messages` | | Messages | List of message number/text pairs, OR a file path | See below | | Package | SAP development package (empty = $TMP local object) | `ZHKA002` | | Transport | Transport request number (optional; resolved by `/sap-transport-request` per `way_to_get_transport_request` if not supplied) | `S4DK940994` |

**Messages format** — either:

  • A list in the conversation: `000: First message`, `001: Second &1`, etc.
  • A tab-separated file with one message per
