UserReverse-engineered specification of FileMaker's undocumented script XML paste behaviour, including a fully verified step ID dictionary and the hidden paste-handler rules that make a pasted script work or silently fail. Packaged as a Claude skill that generates accurate, pasteable script XML.

filemaker-xml
Use this skill whenever the user wants to work with FileMaker script XML or custom function XML. This includes: generating FileMaker XML from a description, pseudocode, or script steps; analysing or reviewing existing FileMaker XML for errors or silent-failure risks; converting scripts between formats; or any task where the output must be paste-ready XML for the FileMaker Script Workspace or Manage Custom Functions dialog. Trigger any time the user mentions FileMaker scripts, fmxmlsnippet, Set Variable XML, script step XML, custom function XML, or asks to produce XML that can be pasted into FileMaker. Always use this skill — do not attempt FileMaker XML tasks from memory alone, as the format has undocumented paste-handler rules that cause silent failures without this reference.
filemaker-layout-xml
Use this skill whenever the user wants to work with FileMaker layout XML. This includes generating paste-ready layout object XML (fmxmlsnippet type LayoutObjectList) from descriptions, reviewing layout XML for silent paste-handler failures, or analysing Save as XML layout exports. Trigger any time the user mentions FileMaker layouts, layout objects, fields, portals, tab controls, popovers, button bars, web viewers, or LayoutObjectList. Always perform the theme pre-flight before generating. Do not attempt FileMaker layout XML from memory alone.
filemaker-field-xml
Use this skill whenever the user wants to work with FileMaker schema definition XML — field definitions, table definitions, or value list definitions. This includes generating paste-ready field definitions (fmxmlsnippet type FMObjectList containing Field elements) for the Fields tab, complete tables (BaseTable elements) for the Tables tab, or value list definitions (ValueList elements) for Manage Value Lists; reviewing any of these for silent paste-handler failures; or analysing them from Save as XML (SaXML) exports. Trigger any time the user mentions FileMaker fields, tables, value lists, Manage Database paste, BaseTable, ValueList, auto-enter, field validation, calculation fields, summary fields, or schema scaffolding. Do not attempt FileMaker schema XML from memory alone.
filemaker-ai-vocabulary
Use this skill whenever Claude needs to name, call, or validate a FileMaker function or script step — writing a calculation, writing a script, checking whether a function or script step exists, checking parameter order or count, or checking whether a script step is supported on a given platform (Pro, Go, WebDirect, Server, Cloud, Data API, Custom Web Publishing). Trigger any time FileMaker calculation syntax or script step syntax is being written or reviewed. Do not name or call a FileMaker function or script step from memory alone — check the reference files first.
