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, anchoring or autosizing, or LayoutObjectList. Always perform the theme…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# FileMaker Layout XML Skill

Created by Andrew Kear of Clockwork Creative Technology and shared openly with the FileMaker/Claris community under CC BY 4.0. Attribution required on any reuse, adaptation or redistribution, including any derived or excerpted work.

Deterministic generation and analysis of `fmxmlsnippet type="LayoutObjectList"`, FileMaker's Layout mode clipboard format. Full specification in `references/filemaker_layout_xml_rules.md`.

Most rules below concern silent failures: the XML pastes without error and is wrong on screen or in behaviour, and no structural audit catches it.

## Pre-flight: theme identification (mandatory)

Every object must carry the target layout's `<ThemeName>` verbatim. The wrong identifier causes text doubling and CSS class names rendering as visible text, or fails silently: FM substitutes the destination theme and rebuilds the object from `FullCSS`, discarding `LocalCSS` and leaving `CustomStyles` unbound (§25.3).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andykear/filemaker-xmlsnippet-layout-claude-skill/filemaker-layout-xml@sha256:6754ce7f57414969

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.e86aae0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
