sapui5-cli — Claude Code skill for UI5 Tooling
Guides SAPUI5 and OpenUI5 work through the UI5 CLI: project setup, builds, dev server, ui5.yaml config.
npx skills add secondsky/sap-skills --skill sapui5-cli -a claude-codeWhat sapui5-cli does
This skill covers @ui5/cli, the command line for UI5 Tooling. It knows four project kinds — application, library, theme library and module — and each one maps paths differently, so the agent keeps webapp/ and src/ apart instead of guessing.
Reference material on commands and config templates ships with it. Ask for a production build and you get ui5 build --all; ask about a local server and it walks through HTTP/2, SSL and CSP options. Custom build tasks and server middleware are covered too, along with workspace setups for monorepos holding several UI5 projects. A separate section deals with version migration and the errors that show up during it.
Check your toolchain first. Node.js v20.11.0+ or v22.0.0+ is required, v21 is not supported, and npm must be v8.0.0 or newer. The skill targets CLI 4.0.55, so on a project pinned to an older release some configuration advice will not match.
What it helps with
- scaffold a fresh UI5 project and run
ui5 initcorrectly - write a library
ui5.yamlwith the rightsrc/mapping - produce a bundle that pulls in dependencies via
ui5 build --all - start a dev server with HTTP/2 and SSL for local debugging
- track down a build that broke after a CLI upgrade
Example prompts for the agent
- Initialize a new UI5 project and set up
ui5.yamlfor an application - Add a custom build task to the UI5 Tooling config
- Help me move this project from UI5 CLI v3 to v4
