IBM i Library & Object Management
Manage and query library lists, library contents, authorization lists, and object privileges using SQL services from QSYS2.
Available Tools
The ibmi CLI is the primary tool for executing library queries. Set SKILL_DIR to this skill's installed location (the directory containing this SKILL.md file):
# SKILL_DIR = directory containing this SKILL.md
# Examples: ./skills/librarian, ~/.claude/skills/librarian
ibmi tools --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --toolset librarian_default
ibmi tool get_library_list --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
ibmi sql "SELECT * FROM QSYS2.LIBRARY_LIST_INFO ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION"
The ibmi-mcp-server also provides execute_sql and describe_sql_object for MCP-connected agents.

4database-performance
Monitor IBM i database performance including index statistics, maintained temporary indexes (MTIs), database monitors, query supervisor thresholds, and materialized query tables. Use when user asks about: (1) index usage or unused indexes, (2) maintained temporary indexes and whether to create permanent indexes, (3) database monitor configuration, (4) query supervisor thresholds, (5) MQT statistics and refresh status, or (6) tables with high MTI overhead.
