modernize-ui5-app

A five-phase workflow for modernizing SAP UI5 applications, including updating configuration, dependencies, APIs, and content-security compliance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fix linter issues, update manifests and modules, remove deprecated APIs, address global dependencies, achieve CSP compliance, and create modernization reports.
Why use it?
It organizes modernization into verification stages so changes are made in a safer order and problems are documented at the end.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

modernize-ui5-app 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 3d 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.

UI5 Modernization Workflow

This skill modernizes a UI5 application in five phases, each followed by a verification gate. The user picks the gate behavior once at the start — full autonomous, half autonomous, or manual — and the orchestrator applies that choice at every phase boundary.

The five phases

  1. Mechanical baseline — autofix + test starter restructure. Low-risk, unlocks test runs.
  2. Foundationmanifest.json and Component.js. Everything downstream reads the manifest.
  3. Module system & globals — dependency graph (sap.ui.define arrays, lazy requires, no implicit globals). Cyclic-dep and blind-spot fixes belong here.
  4. Deprecated APIs — pure name-for-name replacement. Safe after phase 3 stabilizes the graph.
  5. CSP compliance — last, because it depends on every prior phase being CSP-clean.

A documentation pass writes MODERNIZATION-REPORT.md and MODERNIZATION-ISSUES.md after phase 5.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

modernize-ui5-app is a skill published in the GitHub repository UI5/plugins-coding-agents (34 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 4,011 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
