## What it 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.

## When to use it
- scaffold a fresh UI5 project and run `ui5 init` correctly
- write a library `ui5.yaml` with the right `src/` 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
- Initialize a new UI5 project and set up `ui5.yaml` for an application
- Add a custom build task to the UI5 Tooling config
- Help me move this project from UI5 CLI v3 to v4
