Twenty years of FileMaker solutions are the foundation. Agentic development is what we do with it now: Claude skills that work from the real documentation, and a tested process.

On Thursday 15 October I join Claris as a special guest in 'Inside Agentic Development for FileMaker'. On Friday 16 October at 9am my own session, 'Train Your FileMaker AI Agent', shows how to give Claude the context it needs to write FileMaker code that works. A combined talk follows at DigFM in November.
Agentic Development Toolkit
I was one of the first developers invited into the Agentic Development Toolkit program, on the strength of the Claude skills I had already created and published. I'm now one of the experts supporting other developers in the Developer Preview.
A FileMaker team of four
My current contract is with the biggest education provider I've worked with: over 40 developers, more than 200 staff and a tight FileMaker team of four. Agentic development is how a small team keeps pace.
Creative & effective app design is only a call away.

On Thursday 15 October I joined Claris as a special guest in 'Inside Agentic Development for FileMaker'. On Friday 16 October at 9am my own session, 'Train Your FileMaker AI Agent', showed how to give Claude the context it needs to write FileMaker code that works.
I was one of the first developers invited into the Claris ADT Closed Beta, on the strength of the Claude skills I had already created and published. I'm now one of the experts supporting other developers in the Developer Preview.
My current project is to join an established team to embrace agentic coding and to shift the deployment of new versions from old school importing each table to an automated process, and to modernise the solution via ADT with web native layouts and reporting.
A collection of focused skills for Claris FileMaker, added in one simple command. Start with the Orchestrator: it routes each task to the right skill or to ADT, and checks that your skills, ADT and FileMaker Pro are up to date.
Verified functions, script steps, field types and platform support for FileMaker Pro, checked against Claris documentation. With the Agentic Development Toolkit it calls ADT first, then its own reference; without ADT it works on its own.
Install, upgrade and certify FileMaker Server in a Linux Docker container. It builds from the Claris Dockerfile, protects the install from the docker rm trap, works around the certificate import bug, turns on WebDirect, OData and the Data API, and upgrades in place with a rollback.
ADT is the foundation. Skills are the layer on top, and the Orchestrator gives every Skill its place . . .

The Greeks had two words for time. Chronos is the clock: sequential, measured, billed by the hour. Kairos is the right moment: the decision that changes what happens next.
