tia-import-export

tia-import-export is a skill for Claude Code from Czarnak/totally-integrated-claude. It costs 17 tokens per session (724 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A C# guide for moving Siemens TIA Portal engineering data into and out of files using formats such as XML, SimaticML, AML, and CAx. It covers both direct project edits and file-based round trips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan project, PLC, HMI, and library imports or exports, choose exchange formats, set source and target locations, control overwrite behavior, and combine file transfers with direct edits.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose a safe way to make bulk changes and preserve project structure. It also emphasizes checking imported files and defining exactly what may be overwritten before changing a live project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tia-import-export scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

tia-import-export

Scope

Import/export strategy and round-trip design — full C# Openness implementation.

When the roadmap routes here, the entire solution is C#. Do not mix with Python wrapper calls.

Use this skill for

  • choosing direct object edits vs import/export
  • XML / SimaticML / AML / CAx strategy
  • bulk engineering changes
  • export granularity
  • folder-structure planning
  • overwrite behavior
  • project / HMI / PLC / library round-trip workflows
  • object-specific import/export compositions
  • mixed import + low-level object-model editing

Execution pattern

  1. identify target object class and Openness composition
  2. identify exchange format (SimaticML, AML, XML)
  3. decide file-based vs direct-edit approach
  4. treat every import file as untrusted input: resolve the exact path, verify its provenance and expected object kind, and validate the format before opening the project for modification
  5. obtain explicit authorization for the exact project, target composition, overwrite policy, and intended import; an earlier export, compile, or static check is not authorization to mutate a live project
  6. define source root / target root / overwrite / structure; do not use ImportOptions.Override as a default
  7. use Openness import/export services on the correct composition and inspect any returned result object, messages, error count, and state
  8. compile relevant hardware/software after import and validate consistency state
  9. Do not save the project when import, result validation, or compile/consistency validation fails; close or roll back through the operation-specific supported mechanism

Exports can overwrite filesystem content even though they do not mutate the project. Resolve the output path and require an explicit overwrite decision before replacing an existing file.

Reference files

Load ONLY the reference file(s) relevant to the task. Do not load all files at once.

Reference file Load when the task involves
references/overview.md general import/export principles, ExportOptions/ImportOptions enums, open references, SIMATIC ML versioning, exportable object matrix

references/hmi-tags-and-data.md HMI tag tables, individual HMI tags, cycles, connections, text lists, graphic lists, VB scripts, special HMI tag considerations (integrated connection, UDT)
references/plc-blocks.md PLC block export/import (FB, FC, OB, DB), UDTs, know-how protection, failsafe blocks, system blocks, GRAPH, snapshots, instance DB creation, DB value access, OPC UA XML export, document export/import, open-reference and structural-change import

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
