FileMaker Scripting

Use this skill for FileMaker script generation, edits, reviews, or troubleshooting.

Workflow

1. Confirm the requirement and locate comparable current scripts in the project DDR.
2. Establish or validate context, parameters, privilege assumptions, record state, and expected errors.
3. Preserve the project's proven naming and framework patterns.
4. Use the available FileMaker script-format tooling when producing .fmscript content.
5. Define normal, invalid-input, empty-result, privilege, cancellation, and regression tests as relevant.

Safety

• Never assume the current layout, found set, record, account, or PSoS context.
• Treat deletes, commits, imports, account changes, and integrations as high-risk operations.
• Do not replace a working legacy pattern solely because a generic convention looks cleaner.
