What it does

Sap Btp Business Application Studio is an agent skill from secondsky/sap-skills. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for SAP Business Application Studio (BAS), the cloud-based IDE on SAP BTP built on Code-OSS. Use when setting up BAS subscriptions, creating dev spaces, connecting to external systems, deploying MTA applications, troubleshooting connectivity issues, managing Git repositories, configuring runtime versions, or using the layout editor. Keywords: SAP Business Application Studio, BAS, SAP BTP, dev space, Cloud Foundry, MTA, multitarget application, SAP Fiori, CAP, HANA…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/connectivity-guide.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Responsive design, Comics and storyboards and CI/CD. It works with SAP, Git, Java and Python. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready plugins for SAP development with AI coding assistants — BTP, CAP, Fiori, ABAP, HANA, Analytics Cloud, Datasphere, and more. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up BAS subscriptions
  • Creating dev spaces
  • Connecting to external systems
  • Deploying MTA applications

Example prompts

  • “/sap-btp-business-application-studio”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create Subaccount - Select region based on availability
  2. Configure Entitlements - Add SAP Business Application Studio service plan
  3. Subscribe - Complete subscription in subaccount
  4. Assign Roles - Add Business_Application_Studio_Developer role collection
  5. Optional: Configure IdP - Set up assertion-based attribute mapping
  6. Optional: Connect Git - Link to public or corporate repositories
  7. Optional: Create CF Spaces - At least 1 space per development team

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 652a861. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • help.sap.com
    • github.com
    • discovery-center.cloud.sap

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sap Btp Business Application Studio loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 227 tokens; SKILL.md has 869 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~227
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~20k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
