## What it 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.

## When to use it
- design a global account, directory and subaccount hierarchy
- choose between Cloud Foundry, Kyma and ABAP Environment
