SAP BTP Skills for AI Coding Assistants
SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) is SAP's cloud platform for building, extending, and integrating enterprise applications. It provides runtime environments, services, and tools that SAP developers use for cloud applications, integrations, and side-by-side extensions of SAP systems.
Building on BTP means navigating a landscape that is broad and deeply interconnected. Developers work with account hierarchies, Cloud Foundry and Kyma runtimes, ABAP environment, identity and authentication services, connectivity to on-premise systems, transport management, job scheduling, and dozens of other platform services. Each has its own APIs, CLI tools, configuration patterns, and best practices. AI coding assistants, despite their general programming competence, rarely get BTP right — they hallucinate service names, mix up environment-specific conventions, and miss the platform's unique deployment and security patterns.
The skills in this category give AI assistants curated SAP BTP context. The core platform skill covers account setup, runtime environments, entitlements, MTA deployment, and btp CLI usage. Best practices adds architecture and governance guidance. Connectivity, Service Manager, Cloud Identity Services, Cloud Logging, Job Scheduling, Transport Management, and CIAS each provide focused references for their respective services. Integration Suite, Build Work Zone, Business Application Studio, and the developer guide round out the set with development environment and integration workflow knowledge.
Together these skills give your AI assistant SAP-specific context for BTP work, reducing the chance of code that looks plausible but misses platform conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions
SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) is SAP's cloud platform for building, extending, and integrating enterprise applications. It provides runtime environments including Cloud Foundry, Kyma, and ABAP Environment, along with platform services for identity, connectivity, integration, and analytics.
Yes. With the SAP BTP skills installed, AI coding assistants like Claude Code gain access to curated references for platform services, deployment patterns, CLI usage, and best practices. The skills provide the verified context the assistant needs to generate accurate BTP code instead of hallucinated patterns.
Run `npx skills add secondsky/sap-skills` to install all SAP skills, or specify individual skills with `--skill <name>`, for example `--skill sap-btp-cloud-platform`.
The BTP skills cover the core platform, best practices, connectivity, Service Manager, Cloud Identity Services (IAS/IPS/AMS), Cloud Logging, Transport Management, Job Scheduling, CIAS, Integration Suite, Build Work Zone, Business Application Studio, the developer guide, Master Data Integration, and Intelligent Situation Automation.
Claude Code supports skills natively. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf can use the same SAP reference material through their rules, custom-instruction, or skills workflows, with setup details depending on the tool.
SAP BTP is used for building cloud-native enterprise applications, extending SAP S/4HANA and other SAP solutions without modifying their core, integrating SAP and non-SAP systems, building data warehouses and analytics dashboards, and adding AI and machine learning to business applications. It is the primary platform for new SAP development in the cloud.
SAP BTP pricing depends on the account model. Pay-As-You-Go accounts charge based on actual service consumption with no minimum commitment. Enterprise Agreement (BTPEA) accounts use committed spending for lower per-unit rates. Free tier service plans are available in both account types for evaluation and learning. Service-specific pricing varies — HANA Cloud, Integration Suite, AI Core, and others each have their own plan structure.
