sap-btp-best-practices — Claude Code skill for SAP BTP architecture
A skill with SAP BTP practices: account model, authentication, CI/CD, failover. Useful when you plan a BTP landscape before writing anything.
npx skills add secondsky/sap-skills --skill sap-btp-best-practices -a claude-codeWhat sap-btp-best-practices does
The skill hands your agent a reference on SAP BTP: the global account hierarchy, directories and subaccounts, picking a runtime (Cloud Foundry, Kyma, ABAP Environment), commercial models, Identity Authentication setup, authorization methods, and reaching on-premise systems through Cloud Connector. Separate sections cover governance and Platform Engineering, development, delivery, failover and monitoring.
Everything sits in one structured document with a table of contents and pointers to sibling skills in the same repository: sap-btp-cloud-platform for CLI and runtime details, sap-btp-connectivity for destinations, plus sap-btp-service-manager, sap-cap-capire and sap-fiori-tools. The quick start tells you to settle the account model first, choose the runtime second, and only then dig into implementation.
The content is audited against official SAP documentation, and the last_verified date stays stale until the source refresh and live account checks are done. Worth checking before you commit a layout to a project. Part of the repository text is truncated, so for anything past the table of contents, cross-check with the SAP Help Portal.
What it helps with
- design a global account, directory and subaccount hierarchy
- choose between Cloud Foundry, Kyma and ABAP Environment
- set up Identity Authentication with MFA for admins
- pick an authorization method for a large user base
- plan multi-region failover before implementation starts
Example prompts for the agent
- Design a SAP BTP account model for three teams: dev, test and prod in separate directories
- Which authorization method should we use in production with a thousand users?
- Review our Neo migration plan against current BTP environments
