## What it does

The skill lays out the five Fiori principles — role-based, adaptive, coherent, simple, delightful — and splits them across reference files. Your agent opens the one that matches the task: `references/ui-actions.md` for buttons and links, `references/ui-inputs.md` for fields and filter bars, `references/ui-lists-tables.md` for tables, `references/page-types.md` for object pages and list reports. Navigation, messaging, upload, typography and AI patterns get their own files.

Decision tables come built in. One emphasized button per page or dialog. Green and red stay reserved for approve and reject semantics. An icon-only button is fine only for metaphors everyone already knows, and it needs a tooltip. Similar tables cover semantic colors, message types and navigation patterns, plus an implementation checklist: single emphasis, ARIA attributes, responsive layout, loading indicators.

Coverage spans SAPUI5, UI5 Web Components and Fiori Elements, with a separate file for S/4HANA specifics. It earns its place on a project already on the SAP stack, because otherwise the agent reaches for generic web patterns and drifts from the design system. On a plain React app with no UI5 Web Components it adds little.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/ai-skills-library --skill sap-fiori-guidelines -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/ai-skills-library --skill sap-fiori-guidelines -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/ai-skills-library --skill sap-fiori-guidelines -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SAP/ai-skills-library sap-fiori-guidelines
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/ai-skills-library --skill sap-fiori-guidelines -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SAP/ai-skills-library --path skills/sap-fiori-guidelines
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SAP/ai-skills-library --skill sap-fiori-guidelines -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SAP/ai-skills-library/tree/HEAD/skills/sap-fiori-guidelines/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pick the right button type for an action
- scaffold an object page or list report
- map semantic colors to statuses
- check a form for visible labels and value states
- choose a table component for aggregated data

## Example prompts
- Build an object page for a sales order following SAP Fiori guidelines
- Review my SAPUI5 form: labels, value states, error messages
- Which Fiori component should I use for an analytical table with totals?

# SAP Fiori Design Guidelines

Comprehensive guidance for designing and building SAP Fiori applications following official SAP design system standards.

## When to Use This Skill

- Designing or building SAP Fiori applications
- Implementing SAPUI5 or UI5 Web Components
- Following SAP enterprise UX patterns
- Choosing UI elements for SAP applications
- Implementing navigation, messaging, or data visualization
- Ensuring accessibility and inclusive design
- Applying colors, typography, or visual styling
- Designing AI-powered features, Joule integration, or guided prompts

## Core Principles

SAP Fiori is built on five principles:

1. **Role-based** - Designed for specific user roles and tasks
2. **Adaptive** - Works across devices and screen sizes  
3. **Coherent** - Consistent experience across all SAP applications
4. **Simple** - Focused on essential tasks, reduces complexity
5. **Delightful** - Engaging and intuitive user experience

## Technology Options

| Technology | Use Case |
|------------|----------|
| SAPUI5 | Full SAP Fiori applications, SAP BTP, S/4HANA |
| UI5 Web Components | Framework-agnostic, React/Vue/Angular integration |
| SAP Fiori Elements | Metadata-driven apps with OData services |

## Reference Documentation

Read the appropriate reference file based on your task:

### UI Elements

| Reference | Contents |
|-----------|----------|
| `references/ui-actions.md` | Buttons, links, toggle buttons, menu buttons |
| `references/ui-inputs.md` | Input fields, selects, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders, date/time pickers, filter bar |
| `references/ui-containers.md` | Panels, cards, dialogs, popovers, toolbars, forms, shell bar, user menu, notification center |
