About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks

work-management
Query, monitor, and analyze jobs on IBM i using SQL table functions via the ibmi CLI. Use when user asks about: (1) finding jobs by status, user, subsystem, or type, (2) monitoring active job performance (CPU, I/O, memory), (3) detecting long-running SQL statements, (4) analyzing lock contention, (5) checking job queues, (6) scheduled jobs, (7) job logs, (8) replacing WRKACTJOB, WRKUSRJOB, WRKSBSJOB, WRKSBMJOB commands, or (9) any IBM i work management task.
12system-health
Monitor IBM i system health including CPU, memory, disk, ASPs, system limits, and network status via SQL services. Use when user asks about: (1) CPU utilization or system status, (2) memory pool sizes or page faults, (3) disk capacity or ASP usage, (4) system limits approaching thresholds, (5) TCP/IP connections and network status, (6) system activity overview, (7) replacing WRKSYSSTS, WRKDSKSTS, WRKTCPSTS commands, or (8) any system health monitoring task.
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.
3template-skill
Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
3ibmi
Core skill for working with IBM i systems via the ibmi CLI and ibmi-mcp-server. Provides text-to-SQL methodology, iterative querying best practices, schema discovery, and SQL validation patterns for Db2 for i. Use as the foundation for ANY IBM i task — install this skill first, then add domain-specific skills (ibmi-database, ibmi-system) as needed.
3performance
Monitor IBM i performance including collection services, temporary storage, disk I/O metrics, and memory pool performance via SQL services. Use when user asks about: (1) collection services configuration or categories, (2) temporary storage usage by bucket or job, (3) disk I/O performance per unit, (4) memory pool page fault rates, (5) performance data collection settings, (6) replacing WRKSYSSTS performance views, or (7) any performance analysis or capacity planning task.
