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, maintains, and manages SAP Number Range Objects (NRO) via SNRO using
  SAP GUI Scripting. Number Range Objects are crucial for generating unique
  identifiers for SAP master data and document numbers (e.g. material numbers,
  document numbers, custom Z document IDs). Supports existence check, create
  new NRO with short text / long text / domain (number length) / warning
  percentage, update header attributes, and maintain number range intervals
  (sub-objects with FROMNUMBER / TONUMBER / current number / external flag).
  Handles the package + transport request popup (3-way pattern: explicit TR,
  $TMP local object, or new transport).
  Prerequisites: Active SAP GUI session (use /sap-login first).

SAP SNRO Number Range Object Maintenance Skill

You create, update and maintain SAP Number Range Objects (NRO) and their intervals via SNRO using SAP GUI Scripting. The skill checks if the NRO exists, then creates or updates it. Optionally maintains number range intervals (sub-objects) via the same NRO.

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))"

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 per-run scratch dir (`Get-SapRunTemp` mints + creates `{work_dir}\temp\run_<id>`):

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

Per the CLAUDE.md "Two-bucket temp model" write this skill's generated scratch (`*_run.ps1` / `*_run.vbs` and the `_run.json` state) under `{RUN_TEMP}`; keep `{WORK_TEMP}` (base) only for `Get-SapCurrentSessionPath -WorkTemp`.

---

Step 0.5 — Start Logging

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

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_log_helper.ps1" -Action start -StateFile "{RUN_TEMP}\sap_snro_run.json" -Skill sap-snro -ParamsJson "{\"nro_name\":\"<NRO_NAME>\"}"

---

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

This skill mutates business configuration (number range objects / intervals). 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-snro

| 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

**Number Range Object Details**

| Parameter | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | NRO name | Z/Y namespace, max 10 chars, allowed chars `A–Z 0–9 _` | `ZMM_0004` | | Short text | TNROT-TXTSHORT, max 20 chars (only for new NRO) | `MM SEQ004` | | Long text | TNROT-TXT, max 60 chars (only for new NRO; defaults to short text if blank) | `MM Sequence 004` | | Domain | TNRO-DOMLEN: domain name with optional length, e.g. `NUMC15`, `CHAR10`. The numeric suffix (1–20) defines the maximum number length. Domain must exist or be creatable for the chosen data type. | `NUMC15` | | Warning % | TNRO-PERCENTAGE: warning threshold (0.0–99.9). When the consumed share of an interval crosses this %, SAP issues a warning. | `10.0` | | To-year flag | (optional) tab FC2: maintain intervals per fiscal year. Default unchecked. | unchecked | | Number length domain check | (optional) tab FC3: number range groups. Default not set. | not set | | Package | SAP development packa
