+
+# FileMaker DDR script
+
+Produce FileMaker script text that matches DDRparser output and the active project's established script style. DDRparser-compatible text can be converted and pasted into FileMaker as script steps.
+
+## Follow project evidence
+
+1. Read the active project's `AGENTS.md`, `PROJECT.md`, ticket material, and any script-specific instructions before changing a script.
+2. Locate the active solution under the project's `DDR-Parsed/` directory. Confirm the target script name, group, filename, and relevant FileMaker objects from current project evidence.
+3. Read the target script and structurally similar scripts from the same project. Prefer examples from the same feature, script group, caller/callee chain, and supported FileMaker version. Read a project script template when one exists and applies.
+4. Match the project's script structure, comments, section order, error handling, parameter/result conventions, calculation layout, indentation, naming, and use of enabled or disabled steps.
+5. Inspect callers, called scripts, fields, layouts, table occurrences, custom functions, and other affected definitions when they determine the script's behavior. Use `ddr-analysis` alongside this skill when broader dependency analysis is needed.
+
+Do not copy conventions or business logic from another client project. Example DDRs used while developing this skill are not part of the skill and are not fallback sources during project work.
+
+## Resolve script-step format
+
+Use this evidence order for every unfamiliar step or parameter form:
+
+1. An exact current instance in the active project's `DDR-Parsed/<solution>/Scripts/` directory.
+2. A closely related current script from the same project.
+3. [`all-script-steps.txt`](all-script-steps.txt) for the general step name and base form.
+
+Search the active project with `rg` before deciding that a step form is unavailable. Copy an exact project's step name, option labels, option order, punctuation, brackets, quotes, and spacing when a matching form exists. The general catalog permits a step name and shows a base form; it does not authorize inventing unshown options or project object names.
+
+If the required form is still unknown, identify the missing step or option and request a known-good example. Do not substitute a similar step, borrow another client's syntax, translate from `.fmscript`, or infer a parameter form from general FileMaker knowledge.
+
+## Read and write the text format
+
+- Treat the `// Script:` header and any `// Group:` line as file metadata. Preserve the existing header; for a new script, derive only the header fields supported by confirmed project naming and group evidence.
+- Treat `#` lines as FileMaker Comment steps. Preserve the project's comment wording and section style.
+- Treat `//  ` before a step as DDRparser's disabled-step representation. Retain disabled steps unless the requested change explicitly enables or removes them.
+- Preserve control-block structure and use the project's indentation for nested `If`, `Else If`, `Else`, `Loop`, and corresponding closing steps. Every opened control block must have its matching close.
+- Preserve multiline calculations as a single script step, including calculation comments, tabs, line breaks, operators, and the final closing bracket.
+- Use the active project's representation for empty options, named objects, curly or straight quotes, semicolon spacing, and option continuation lines.
+- Preserve supported plug-in steps only when their exact form is present in the current project or the general catalog.
+- Keep changes minimal. Do not rewrite unaffected comments, calculations, formatting, or neighboring steps merely to normalize them.
+- Do not invent business rules, FileMaker objects, functions, fields, layouts, scripts, relationships, parameters, results, or error behavior.
+
+For a requested snippet, return DDRparser-format text in a fenced `text` block. For a requested project change, edit the complete tracked `.txt` file at `DDR-Parsed/<solution>/Scripts/<script name>.txt`; do not create a parallel `.fmscript` or source-scripts directory.
+
+## Review and round-trip
+
+1. Compare every changed step and parameter form with the selected current project instance or `all-script-steps.txt` entry.
+2. Check matching control blocks, nesting, disabled-step markers, multiline brackets, and confirmed object names.
+3. Inspect the scoped Git diff and run `git diff --check`.
+4. Review the edited tracked script text before it is pasted into FileMaker.
+5. When FileMaker implementation is within the request and available, convert or copy the text through the project's DDRparser clipboard workflow and paste it into FileMaker.
+6. After a paste, regenerate `DDR-Parsed/` with the project's documented parser command and compare the resulting script with the reviewed text.
+
+Editing the tracked script file proves only the proposed text. Claim successful FileMaker implementation or round-trip compatibility only after the paste and regenerated DDR have been verified. If those actions are unavailable, report them as pending validation.

-  its parameters.
-- Do not add brackets to a step with no parameters.
-- Separate main arguments inside the brackets with a semicolon followed by a
-  space. Do not use a comma as the main argument separator.
-- Use `# ` for a FileMaker comment step.
-- Continue the same multiline comment step with `#>`.
-- Use `// ` before a script step to represent a disabled step.
-- Preserve `//` and `/* */` comments that occur inside FileMaker calculations.
-- Qualify field references with their table occurrence, for example
-  `Customers::Name`. Do not emit a bare `::Name` reference.
-- Prefix a local variable with one `$` and a global variable with exactly `$$`.
-- Keep simple steps on one line.
-- Preserve multiline calculations and determine their boundary using the known
-  step name, balanced brackets, and continuation structure.
 
-## Representative forms
+Valid:
 
 ```text
+Set Variable [ $x ; Value: "Hello" ]
 Show All Records
-Set Field [ Customers::Name ; "Ada" ]
-Set Variable [ $name ; Value: Customers::Name ]
-Perform Script [ Specified:From list; "Normalize Customer"; Parameter: $name ]
 ```
 
+Invalid:

 ```text
-# Prepare the payload
+Set Variable $x = "Hello"
-Set Variable [ $payload ; Value: JSONSetElement (
-  "{}" ;
-  [ "id" ; Customers::ID ; JSONString ]
-) ]
 ```
 
-The exact parameter labels and internal punctuation belong to the individual
+## Semicolon Rule
-FileMaker step definition. Verify them rather than generalizing from these
+
-representative forms.
+Main arguments inside brackets are separated by semicolon plus space. A comma is not a main argument separator.
+
+Valid:
+
+```text
+Set Field [ Customers::Name ; "Ada" ]
+```
+
+Invalid:
+
+```text
+Set Field [ Customers::Name , "Ada" ]
+```
+
+## Comment Rule
+
+Dedicated script comments use `# `. Disabled script steps use `// `. Multi-line comment steps continue with `#>`. Inside FileMaker calculation bodies, inline `//` and `/* */` comments are valid and must be preserved.
+
+```text
+# Explain the next operation
+# Long comment title
+#> continuation paragraph that remains part of the same comment step
+// Perform Script [ Specified:From list; "Legacy Step" ]
+Set Variable [ $x ; Value: Let ( [
+  a = 1 ; // inline calculation comment
+  b = 2  /* block calculation comment */
+] ; a + b ) ]

+
+## Field Reference Rule
+
+Field references include both table occurrence and field name. Bare `::FieldName` references are invalid.
+
+Valid:
+
+```text
+Set Field [ Customers::FirstName ; "Ada" ]
+```
+
+Invalid:
+
+```text
+Set Field [ ::FirstName ; "Ada" ]

+
+## Variable Rule
+
+Local variables start with one `$`. Global variables start with exactly two `$$`.

+Set Variable [ counter ; Value: 1 ]
+```
+
+## Step Boundary Rule
+
+Simple script steps are compact, but 0.90 preserves multi-line calculation bodies and multi-line comment steps. Boundaries are determined by known step names, balanced brackets, and continuation tokens, not by blindly flattening every real-world step.
+
+```text
+Perform Script [ Specified:From list; "Parse Result"; Parameter: Get ( ActiveLayoutObjectName ) ]
+Perform Script [ Specified:From list; "Parse JSON"; Parameter: JSONSetElement (
+  "{}" ;
