What is fix-xml-globals?

A UI5 code-fixing skill for XML views and fragments, which are interface files used to define application screens and reusable parts.

Use it to replace global access with local module references, clarify controller event handlers, and update deprecated template requirements.

It fixes linter findings that cannot be corrected safely by simple automatic replacement, such as unclear global references and event handlers.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00231	$0.06011
Opus 5	$0.00115	$0.03005
Sonnet 5	$0.00046	$0.01202
Haiku 4.5	$0.00023	$0.00601

Security

Grade A, and why

fix-xml-globals 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/__fixtures__/nested_function_shadow.js, scripts/__fixtures__/no_this.js, scripts/__fixtures__/not_found.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Fix XML Views/Fragments Global Access

This skill fixes XML view and fragment issues that the UI5 linter detects but cannot auto-fix because they require understanding of module paths and handler locations.

Linter Rules Handled

Rule ID	Message Pattern	This Skill's Action
`no-globals`	Access of global variable '...' (...)	Add `core:require` and use local name
`no-ambiguous-event-handler`	Event handler '...' must be prefixed by a dot '.' or refer to a local name	Add `.` prefix for controller methods or add `core:require` for modules
`no-deprecated-api`	Usage of space-separated list '...' in template:require	Convert to object notation

When to Use

Apply this skill when you see linter output like:

Main.view.xml:15:5 error Access of global variable 'formatter' (my.app.model.formatter)  no-globals
Main.view.xml:20:5 warning Event handler 'onPress' must be prefixed by a dot '.' or refer to a local name  no-ambiguous-event-handler
Main.view.xml:25:5 error Usage of space-separated list 'formatter helper' in template:require  no-deprecated-api

Fix Strategy

1. `no-globals` - Fix Global Variable Access with core:require

When a formatter, type, or utility function is accessed via global namespace (e.g., my.app.formatter.formatDate), add a core:require declaration and use the local name.

Step 1: Add xmlns:core namespace if not present

<mvc:View
    xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
    xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
    xmlns="sap.m">

Step 2: Add core:require on the nearest control that uses the module

Place core:require on the control that uses the global reference. If multiple controls use the same module, place it on their nearest common ancestor. See the "core:require Placement Rules" section below for details.

<!-- Single usage — core:require on the control itself -->
<Text core:require="{formatter: 'my/app/model/formatter'}"
      text="{path: 'date', formatter: 'formatter.formatDate'}" />

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.
