README

ace-claude

Built on **[ace-bob](https://github.com/ot4i/ace-bob)** by Ben Thompson (IBM) — see [Credits & origin](#credits--origin).

A [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill for authoring **IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE)** artifacts — message flows, ESQL, JavaCompute, DFDL, policies, and database integrations — entirely from the command line, with no ACE Toolkit required.

Every capability in the table below was built and **verified at runtime** against a real ACE 13.0.2.2 server, local IBM MQ, and a live PostgreSQL database — deployed to a headless integration server, driven with real messages, and the output observed. `demo-apps/` contains the actual deployable projects used as proof; all of them build clean with `ibmint package`.

**Note on authenticity:** the skill authors ACE's XML/ESQL/Java artifacts directly. Much of what it knows — especially the undocumented msgflow encodings for Collector, Aggregation, Resequence, and DatabaseRetrieve nodes — was reverse-engineered from the product's own bytecode and schemas, then proven by deploying and driving real messages through the flows.
