## What it does

Skill teaches the agent to work with SAP Service Manager: create service instances in Cloud Foundry, Kyma or Kubernetes via `smctl`, BTP CLI or REST API, configure OAuth2 authentication, register brokers and platforms, manage bindings (`ServiceBinding` CRD) and access keys. Inside: `smctl` command reference, templates for Kubernetes operators, role descriptions (`subaccount-admin`, `subaccount-audit`) and Service Manager plans.

The `smcli` repository was archived on September 30, 2025. The tool still works, but for new projects the maintainer recommends installing via Go or considering BTP CLI. Skill draws on 80+ SAP documentation files and 11 support files (templates, references). Requires access to an SAP BTP subaccount and the Subaccount Service Administrator role.
