# FileMaker Script & Custom Function XML Skill ## Overview This skill enables Claude to correctly **analyse** and **generate** FileMaker Script Workspace XML — the `fmxmlsnippet type="FMObjectList"` format that FileMaker accepts via clipboard paste. The format has a lenient XML parser but a strict paste handler. Structural deviations that look fine as XML can cause steps to paste with silently missing data (e.g. Set Variable pastes with no variable name). The reference files in this skill are the authoritative reverse-engineered spec for what the paste handler actually accepts. --- ## Mandatory reading — progressive loading The specification (v1.11) is split so a task loads only the sections it needs. The rules are: 1. **Always read `references/core.md` first.** Not optional. It contains the paste format requirements, common conventions, the Set Variable canonical structure, and the silent-failure modes that apply to every step. Skipping it reintroduces the from-memory failure mode this skill exists to prevent. 2. **Always read `references/steps-control.md`.** Control steps (If, Loop, Perform Script, Exit Script, Comment, transactions) appear in virtually every script. 3. **Then read only the step category files containing the steps the task needs**, using the routing index below. When reviewing XML someone else produced, route by the `name` attributes on the `<Step>` elements in the snippet. 4. Custom function tasks: read `references/custom-
