SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually searching library catalogs, checking book availability, and finding exact physical shelf locations is time-consuming and inefficient for both library patrons and staff. This Skill eliminates that hassle by providing instant access to all library catalog data through simple natural language queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Book Search: Find books by title, author, keyword, or category (Programming, History, Science, Fiction, Thriller) in seconds.
  • Availability & Location Tracking: Check if a book is checked out, present, or missing, and get its exact physical location (cabinet, rack, row) immediately.
  • Library Management Tools: List all books by category or status, identify books with weak RFID signals needing maintenance, and view library-wide statistics for inventory management.
  • Use Case Example: A patron can ask "Is the Python programming book B001 available?" and get an instant answer with its shelf location, while library staff can quickly generate a list of all books with faulty RFID tags for repair.

Quick Start

Use the query-library skill to find all available science fiction books and their shelf locations.
