SC4SAP Create Object
Guided ABAP object creation workflow. Hybrid mode: confirms transport and package interactively, then auto-creates, writes initial code, and activates the object.
sc4sap:create-object handles the full lifecycle of creating a new ABAP object: determining the right object type, confirming package and transport assignment, creating the object via MCP, generating a well-structured initial implementation, and activating it — all in one workflow.
<Response_Prefix>
Every response triggered by this skill MUST begin with [Model: <main-model> · Dispatched: <sub-summary>] per ../../common/model-routing-rule.md § Response Prefix Convention.
</Response_Prefix>
<Phase_Banner>
Multi-phase skill. Before each Agent(...) dispatch, emit ▶ phase=<id> (<label>) · agent=<name> · model=<Opus 4.7|Sonnet 4.6|Haiku 4.5> per ../../common/model-routing-rule.md § Phase Banner Convention.
</Phase_Banner>
<Use_When>
- User says "create", "new class", "new program", "create object", "add a function module", "new table", etc.
- A new ABAP development artifact needs to be created from scratch
- User knows what they want to build but needs the creation scaffolded correctly
</Use_When>
<Do_Not_Use_When>
- Modifying an existing object -- use direct MCP
Update* tools (UpdateClass, UpdateProgram, UpdateInclude, etc.)
- Creating multiple interdependent objects -- use
/sc4sap:team for parallel orchestration or /sc4sap:create-program for a full program with includes
- User just wants to understand what type to use -- ask a module consultant agent directly
</Do_Not_Use_When>
<Session_Trust_Bootstrap>
MANDATORY — runs as Step 0 before any MCP call or user interaction.
Invoke /sc4sap:trust-session with parent_skill=sc4sap:create-object to pre-grant all MCP tool + file-op permissions for this session (eliminates per-tool "Allow this tool?" prompts during Create* + activation flow).
- If
.sc4sap/session-trust.log already has a line within the last 24h, skip silently.
- Otherwise run it and surface the one-line confirmation.
- All subsequent
Agent dispatches within this skill MUST pass mode: "dontAsk".
Full spec: see ../trust-session/SKILL.md.

<ECC_DDIC_Fallback>
MANDATORY: Read ../../common/ecc-ddic-fallback.md before creating any Table / Data Element / Domain. It defines when the ECC branch triggers, the helper-program naming rules, the strict template format (mirroring the files under ecc/), and the hard constraints ($TMP only, no activate, no CTS).
</ECC_DDIC_Fallback>
<Field_Typing_Rule>
MANDATORY for every Table / Structure / Table Type field-type decision (standard MCP flow and ECC helper-program fallback): read ../../common/field-typing-rule.md.
Priority: Standard DE (1) → existing CBO DE (2) → new CBO DE (3) → Data Type + Length (4, last resort). Raw primitives like LIFNR CHAR 10 / MATNR CHAR 40 / BUKRS CHAR 4 are forbidden when an authoritative SAP data element exists. Before each field, run SearchObject against DTEL and check .sc4sap/cbo/<MODULE>/<PACKAGE>/inventory.json.
</Field_Typing_Rule>
<Function_Module_Rule>
MANDATORY for every UpdateFunctionModule source emission: read ../../common/function-module-rule.md.
FM signature is stored inline in the FUNCTION statement source (SAP parses it on write and updates TFDIR/FUPARAREF automatically). There is no separate "parameters" endpoint. Every FM source MUST declare IMPORTING / EXPORTING / CHANGING / TABLES / EXCEPTIONS clauses directly between FUNCTION {name} and the first .. Never emit the placeholder " You can use the template 'functionModuleParameter' ... line, never use *"*"Local Interface: blocks as a substitute, never declare shadow locals like lv_iv_xxx TYPE ... to stand in for missing parameters.
Remote-Enabled (RFC) flag is a separate concern — stored in TFDIR.FMODE, not in source. Currently requires manual SE37 Properties update; flag this in the completion report.
</Function_Module_Rule>
<Hybrid_Mode>
Confirm (interactive):
- Object name (enforce Z/Y prefix, max 30 chars, uppercase)
- Package assignment (search with
GetPackage if unsure)
- Transport number (list open transports via
ListTransports, or create new)
- Short description
Auto-execute (after confirmation):
- Create object via appropriate MCP Create* tool
- Generate initial implementation (skeleton with proper structure)
- Activate the object
- Verify activation via
GetInactiveObjects
</Hybrid_Mode>
<Workflow_Steps>
MANDATORY: Follow the step sequence defined in workflow-steps.md.
Per-step model allocation (skill main thread runs on Haiku 4.5 per frontmatter; creation + report delegate to agents):
| Step | Owner | Model | Role |
|---|
| 0 Trust | skill-to-skill | Haiku | permission bootstrap |
| 1 Classify | main | Haiku | keyword → object type |
| 2 Metadata | main | Haiku | name / package / transport / description (Q&A + SearchObject + ListTransports + naming validation) |
| 3 Pre-Creation Check | main | Haiku | SearchObject (name-exists guard) |
| 3.5 Version Branch | main | Haiku | SAP_VERSION ECC vs S/4 routing |
| 4 + 5 + 6 Create + Implement + Activate (standard flow) | sap-executor with model: "opus" override | Opus 4.7 | One dispatch covers: CreateClass/CreateProgram/... → UpdateClass/UpdateProgram/... with initial implementation code → ActivateObjects → GetInactiveObjects verify. The Opus override is justified because Step 5 is novel code generation (common/model-routing-rule.md § Tier 2) — field typing priority 1–4, class constructor + method signatures, FM inline parameter declarations, etc. |
| 4-ECC DDIC Helper Program (ECC fallback) | sap-executor with model: "opus" override | Opus 4.7 | ECC-only branch for Table/DTEL/DOMA. Executor picks the matching template from skills/create-object/ecc/, substitutes names, fills the field list per common/field-typing-rule.md, and CreateProgram + UpdateProgram + ActivateObjects the helper into $TMP. |
| 7 Completion Report | sap-writer (Haiku base — no override) | Haiku 4.5 | Pure formatting from the executor's structured return. Localizes to the user's current conversation language. For ECC fallback, uses the mandatory report format in workflow-steps.md § Step 7 verbatim (do NOT rephrase the ⚠ header + 3-step SE38/SE11 checklist). |
At Step 2 (metadata collection) — when the object belongs to a specific SAP module (MM table, SD structure, PS data element, …) — the main thread reads SAP_ACTIVE_MODULES from sap.env / config.json and consults ../../common/active-modules.md. If companion modules are active, proactively suggest integration fields (e.g., creating an MM CBO table in a landscape with PS active → suggest adding PS_POSID / AUFNR). Do NOT add silently — propose to user and let them accept/decline, then pass the confirmed field list through to the executor dispatch.
</Workflow_Steps>
<Naming_Convention_Enforcement>
MANDATORY: Always read configs/common/naming-conventions.md for the complete, authoritative ABAP naming conventions reference before creating any object.
The reference file covers:
- General rules (prefix, case, character set, length limits)
- Module codes (SD/MM/FI/CO/...) for the
Z{MODULE}_... pattern
- Object-specific patterns — Classes (ZCL_/ZIF_/ZCX_), Programs (ZR_), Function Groups/Modules, Data Dictionary (ZT_/ZDE_/ZDO_), UI (Dynpro/GUI Status), OData/RAP (Z_I_/Z_C_/Z_BP_/Z_SB_), Enhancements, IDoc/ALE
- Code-level naming (variables: LV_/LS_/LT_/IV_/EV_/MV_; constants GC_/LC_; types TY_; methods)
- Validation rules (uppercase, Z/Y prefix, character set, max length, non-generic)
Quick validation checklist (applied before every create):
- Starts with
Z or Y (customer namespace)
- UPPERCASE only, characters in
[A-Z0-9_]
- Within max length (30 chars for most objects)
- Not generic (ZTEST/ZTEMP/ZDUMMY forbidden)
- Object-type prefix follows the reference (e.g.,
ZCL_ for classes, ZIF_ for interfaces)
- Screen = 4-digit number (e.g., 0100); GUI Status = uppercase identifier (e.g., STATUS_0100) — both require a parent program
If the user-provided name violates any rule, suggest a compliant alternative based on configs/common/naming-conventions.md before proceeding.
</Naming_Convention_Enforcement>
<MCP_Tools_Used>
SearchObject — check for existing objects
ListTransports — list available transports
GetPackage — verify package existence
CreateClass / CreateInterface / CreateProgram / CreateFunctionGroup / CreateFunctionModule / CreateTable / CreateStructure / CreateDataElement / CreateDomain / CreateView / CreateServiceDefinition / CreateServiceBinding / CreateBehaviorDefinition / CreateScreen / CreateGuiStatus
UpdateClass / UpdateProgram / UpdateScreen / UpdateGuiStatus / etc. — write initial implementation
GetInactiveObjects — verify activation
- ECC DDIC fallback: only
CreateProgram + UpdateProgram (target $TMP). CreateTable / CreateDataElement / CreateDomain must NOT be attempted when SAP_VERSION = ECC.
