• qlik-cli — qlik binary on your PATH
• jq — jq binary on your PATH
• A Qlik Cloud tenant with API access

Install

claude plugin add mattiasthalen/qlik-plugin

Skills

/qlik:setup — Connect to Your Tenant

Verifies prerequisites, guides OAuth authentication, and creates the local workspace.

/qlik:setup

/qlik:sync — Pull Apps Locally

Extracts app metadata from your tenant to .qlik-sync/. Supports filtering by space, app name, or app ID.

/qlik:sync
/qlik:sync Finance Prod
/qlik:sync --force

/qlik:inspect — Search and Explore

Search and navigate the local cache. No API calls needed.

"Which apps write to Sales.qvd?"
"Show me the load script for Sales Dashboard"
"Compare the Revenue measure across all apps"
"List all apps in the Finance Prod space"

What Gets Synced

Per app, qlik app unbuild extracts:

• script.qvs — reload script
• measures.json — master measures
• dimensions.json — master dimensions
• variables.json — variables
• connections.yml — data connections (passwords excluded)
• objects/ — sheets and visualizations
• app-properties.json — app metadata

Data is never extracted or touched.

Limitations

• Cloud only — qlik app unbuild is SaaS-only (no on-prem support yet)
• Read only — v0.1.0 is read-only; push and reload coming in v0.2.0
• No parallel sync — large tenants should filter by space
• No bookmarks — not supported by qlik-cli unbuild
• Connection passwords — cannot be exported by unbuild
