Query installed software products, licensing, and product health using SQL services from QSYS2.
The ibmi CLI is the primary tool for executing product 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/product, ~/.claude/skills/product
ibmi tools --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --toolset product_default
ibmi tool list_software_products --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
ibmi sql "SELECT * FROM QSYS2.SOFTWARE_PRODUCT_INFO WHERE INSTALLED = 'YES' AND LOAD_ERROR = 'YES'"
ibmi tool list_software_products --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"

tools
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.
testing
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.
development
Monitor and analyze IBM i storage resources including ASPs, disk units, temporary storage, user storage consumption, and NVMe devices via SQL services. Use when user asks about: (1) ASP capacity, usage, or health, (2) disk unit status or I/O performance, (3) temporary storage consumption by jobs, (4) storage used per user profile, (5) NVMe device health, (6) IASP vary operations, or (7) replacing WRKDSKSTS, WRKSYSSTS storage info, or WRKSTG commands.
testing
Manage and analyze spooled files, output queues, and printer configurations on IBM i via SQL services. Use when user asks about: (1) listing or searching output queues, (2) viewing spooled file entries by queue, user, or status, (3) reading spool file content, (4) identifying top spool consumers or old spool files, (5) printer file definitions, (6) spool storage analysis, (7) replacing WRKSPLF, WRKOUTQ, WRKOBJLCK commands, or (8) any spool file management task.
