Sapui5 Linter

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Working with the UI5 Linter (@ui5/linter) for static code analysis of SAPUI5/OpenUI5 applications and libraries
• Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

• “/sapui5-linter”

Requirements

• Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Run Linter Early and Often
2. 2Use Configuration File for Persistent Settings
3. 3Fix Issues Incrementally
4. 4Document Suppressed Rules
5. 5Integrate with CI/CD
6. 6Monitor Performance

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

  Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm
  • node
  • git

  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):

  • github.com
  • discord.gg
  • community.sap.com

  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

Sapui5 Linter loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~31k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 707 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~119

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~31k

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

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.

description

Use this skill when working with the UI5 Linter (@ui5/linter) for static code analysis of SAPUI5/OpenUI5 applications and libraries. Covers setup, configuring linting rules, running the linter to detect deprecated APIs, global variable usage, CSP violations, and manifest issues. Supports autofix for deprecated API usage, global references, event handlers, and manifest properties. Includes CI/CD integration, pre-commit hooks, and UI5 2.x migration preparation.
