LSP Usage By Harness

CAP LSP support requires a Node runtime and @sap/cds-lsp installed through an approved project-local devDependency, user-local npm prefix, or enterprise-managed toolchain, with cds-lsp available on PATH. The bundled launcher fixes Windows npm .cmd shim resolution without bundling or installing the SAP package.

  • Claude Code: the installed plugin uses .lsp.json as its optional LSP activation file.
  • Codex, OpenCode, editors, and other LSP-capable clients: configure the LSP command manually as node <sap-cap-capire-plugin-root>/lsp/cds-lsp-launcher.mjs --stdio.
  • No LSP integration: use this Markdown skill, bundled references, rg, and CAP CLI checks directly.

Overview

This skill provides guidance for building enterprise-grade applications using SAP CAP framework. It covers the complete development lifecycle from project initialization to production deployment.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating CAP projects: cds init, project structure, configuration
  • Defining data models: CDS entity definitions, types, associations, compositions
  • Implementing services: Service definitions, projections, actions, functions
  • Writing event handlers: Before/on/after handlers, validation, business logic
  • Working with databases: SQLite, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL configuration
  • Building Fiori UIs: UI annotations, drafts, value helps, field control
  • Deploying applications: Cloud Foundry, Kyma, MTA builds
  • Implementing security: Authorization, authentication, XSUAA
  • Enabling multitenancy: SaaS applications, MTX, tenant isolation
  • Using messaging: Event emission, subscriptions, messaging services
  • Integrating plugins: Attachments, audit logging, change tracking
