abap-cloud

abap-cloud is a skill for Claude Code from vigneshbarani24/sap-superpowers. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,942 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing and checking ABAP Cloud code, SAP’s cloud version of the ABAP programming language. It covers RAP business objects, CDS views, released APIs, and SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud or BTP ABAP Environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, reviewing, or troubleshooting ABAP Cloud applications, business objects, data views, and service integrations.
Why use it?
It helps prevent code from relying on SAP interfaces or language features that are not supported in the cloud. That reduces upgrade and compatibility problems.

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

abap-cloud 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 6d 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.

ABAP Cloud

Enforces clean-core compliance: every piece of ABAP Cloud code MUST use only released APIs, restricted syntax, and RAP patterns — no exceptions.

Iron Laws

  1. NEVER USE UNRELEASED APIS. If the API does not appear in the SAP API Business Hub or is not annotated @ReleaseState: RELEASED, it CANNOT be used. Using unreleased APIs breaks upgrades — your code will fail silently in the next release.
  2. ALWAYS CHECK RELEASE STATUS BEFORE CODING. Run transaction ABAPDOC or check the object in ADT "Released Objects" view before referencing any SAP object. Checking after writing is too late — rewrites are expensive.
  3. NEVER USE CLASSIC STATEMENTS EXCLUDED FROM RESTRICTED SYNTAX. Forbidden: SELECT * INTO TABLE without field list, EXEC SQL, CALL FUNCTION (use CALL METHOD of a released function group), direct table access to DDIC tables without CDS. Restricted syntax is not a suggestion.
  4. NEVER BYPASS THE RAP FRAMEWORK FOR TRANSACTIONAL OPERATIONS. Do not write UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE on application tables directly. All transactional operations go through the RAP EML (MODIFY ENTITY). Direct DML breaks the framework's consistency model.
  5. ALWAYS TEST IN ABAP TEST COCKPIT (ATC) BEFORE TRANSPORT. ATC with the Cloud Readiness check variant is the gate. A clean ATC run is required evidence — not optional.

Rationalization Table

Agent Will Try To... Why It Seems Reasonable Why It Fails Counter
Use a classic BAPI directly "BAPIs are stable SAP interfaces" Most BAPIs are not released for ABAP Cloud; they will be blocked at activation Check BAPI release status in SE37 → "Where-Used" → Cloud Release state before any BAPI reference
Access MARA, BKPF, EKKO directly "These are standard SAP tables, always available" Direct table access is forbidden in Cloud; use released CDS views (e.g., I_MaterialDocumentItem) Replace with the corresponding released CDS VDM view; see SAP API Business Hub for equivalents
Skip ATC because "it's just a small change" "ATC takes time, it's a minor fix" A one-line change using a non-released type fails upgrade validation. All changes require ATC. Iron Law 5: ATC is always required. No exceptions for size.
Use CALL FUNCTION for utility logic "Function modules work fine in on-prem" Classic function module calls are restricted in Cloud; use class-based calls or released APIs Refactor to ABAP OO; use released utility classes from CL_* namespace
Write SQL without CDS views "OpenSQL still works" Direct table SELECT bypasses authorizations built into CDS; creates maintenance debt Define a CDS view with @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK and query through 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.
