work-management
IBM i Work Management & Job Monitoring
Query, monitor, and analyze jobs on IBM i using SQL table functions QSYS2.JOB_INFO and QSYS2.ACTIVE_JOB_INFO.
Available Tools
The ibmi CLI is the primary tool for executing work management 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/work-management, ~/.claude/skills/work-management
# List all work management tools
ibmi tools --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --toolset work_management_default
# Run a specific tool
ibmi tool list_active_jobs --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
# Ad-hoc SQL for custom queries

system-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.
5ibmi
Core skill for working with IBM i systems through the ibmi CLI. Covers text-to-SQL methodology, Db2 for i conventions, schema discovery, multi-system configuration, and — critically — agent scripting patterns (automatic JSON-when-piped, semantic exit codes, NDJSON streaming, dry-run planning, watch mode, multi-system workflows). Use this skill as the foundation for ANY IBM i task: running queries, exploring the database, configuring systems, writing bash/agent scripts that target IBM i, or composing pipelines that need structured output and reliable error handling.
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.
3skill-creator
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
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.
