SAP BTP integrates five technology portfolios: Application Development, Process Automation, Integration, Data & Analytics, and AI. Provides suite qualities: SAP Fiori UX, Cloud Identity Services, Master Data Integration, embedded analytics, SAP Task Center, and SAP Cloud ALM.
Global Account → Directory (optional) → Subaccount (region-specific)
↓ CF: Org → Spaces
↓ Kyma: Cluster → Namespaces
↓ ABAP: System instance
SAP BTP offers four runtime environments at the subaccount level:
Open PaaS with polyglot support. Features: multiple buildpacks (Java, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP), spaces for separation, auto-scaling, SAP HANA integration.

cf push my-app
cf bind-service my-app my-service-instance
Structure: Subaccount → Org (1:1) → Spaces
Managed Kubernetes runtime based on open-source Kyma.
Cloud ABAP development with RAP, CDS, SAP Fiori integration, ADT, 1:1 SAP HANA database per system. Use Cases: Extend S/4HANA Cloud, build new cloud applications, transform ABAP custom code
Status: Sunsetting December 31, 2028. Recommendation: Migrate to CF/Kyma.
Access all eligible services with flexible usage. Flavors: SAP BTPEA, CPEA, Pay-As-You-Go. Benefits: Switch services on/off, access current and future services.
Fixed cost for selected services, pay irrespective of consumption. Additional services require contract modification.
Best Practice: Use consumption-based for pilots, subscription for stable workloads.

XSUAA provides OAuth 2.0 authorization, role-based access control, and application security descriptors (xs-security.json).
Connect to remote systems without hardcoding URLs. Key authentication methods:
NoAuthentication (public APIs)OAuth2ClientCredentials (service-to-service)OAuth2SAMLBearerAssertion (user propagation)PrincipalPropagation (on-premise with Cloud Connector)Secure tunnel for on-premise connectivity with no inbound firewall ports, fine-grained access control, RFC/HTTP support, and principal propagation.
Package multiple modules for deployment. Core structure includes modules (app types: nodejs, html5) and resources (services like hana).
Single entry point providing static content serving, user authentication, URL rewriting, and request forwarding to microservices.
Managed service supporting Cloud Foundry apps (Fiori, CAP), SAP Fiori for ABAP Platform, and SAP Integration Suite artifacts.
Build loosely coupled extensions: SAP Solution → APIs & Events → SAP BTP Extension → Custom Business Logic

This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
