Use when the user asks about FileMaker Pro (FM Pro or FMP) — scripting, script steps, functions, calculations, layouts, relationships, fields, security, data entry, import/export, charts, reporting, printing, developer tools, AI features, or any general FileMaker Pro development question. This is the catch-all skill for FileMaker (FM) development — use it for any FM question that doesn't clearly belong to another skill.
Use when the user asks about the Claris Customer Console — managing Claris accounts, teams, users, groups, subscriptions, licensing, team settings. Always use this skill for questions about Claris ID accounts, managing FM Cloud team members, or license/subscription management in the Claris portal.
Use when the user asks about FileMaker Server (FM Server or FMS) — Admin Console, hosting databases, backups, schedules, SSL certificates, external authentication, web publishing, ODBC/JDBC, monitoring, logs, AI model hosting, performance. Always use this skill for operational server questions (how to configure, host, schedule, or monitor FM Server). For holistic security best-practice checklists spanning the whole platform, use the security-guide skill instead.
Use when the user asks about the FileMaker Admin API (also called FM Admin API) — REST API for administering FileMaker Server or Cloud, managing databases, schedules, clients, backups, and server configuration programmatically. Always use this skill when the user mentions Admin API, automating server management, or controlling FileMaker Server via REST, even if they don't explicitly name the "Admin API".
Use when the user asks about the FileMaker App Upgrade Tool (also called FMUpgradeTool or FM Upgrade Tool) — applying patch files to databases, command-line parameters, patch XML format, automated schema and script upgrades. Use this skill any time the user mentions upgrading FM files via patch, FMUpgradeTool, or automating database migrations.
This is the Claris Connect reference skill. Claris Connect is Claris's iPaaS/workflow automation platform (like Zapier or Make) for connecting FileMaker to external services. Invoke when a user asks about Claris Connect by name, wants to automate FileMaker workflows via an external automation platform, needs to set up flows, triggers, or actions, or asks about connectors: Slack, Stripe, Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, Outlook, Teams, AWS, Twilio, and 80+ others. Also covers Apple School Manager integration. Do not use for native FileMaker scripting, calculations, or HTTP requests made directly from within FileMaker scripts.
Use when the user asks about Claris MCP — Model Context Protocol integration with FileMaker (FM), enabling AI assistants to read data, run scripts, and perform operations on FileMaker databases via MCP tools. Always use this skill when the user asks how to connect an AI assistant or LLM to FileMaker, set up MCP with FM, or use Claude/AI tools with FileMaker data.
Use when the user asks about Claris Studio — web-based app platform, views (forms, spreadsheets, kanbans), Studio field types, Studio calculation functions, data sources, teams, identity providers. Always use this skill for any Claris Studio question, even if the user just says "Studio" without the "Claris" prefix.
