Guides the Copilot CLI on how to use the WorkIQ CLI/MCP server to query Microsoft 365 Copilot data (emails, meetings, docs, Teams, people) for live context, summaries, and recommendations.

  • Works in 3 steps: Copilot CLI plugin (preferred) → Standalone CLI / MCP server → Tenant consent
  • Tasks that involve Cloud office suites
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Supported Data & Sample Prompts, Getting Access and Pre-flight Checklist, plus 7 more sections
  • Calls npm and npx

What it does

Workiq Copilot is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Guides the Copilot CLI on how to use the WorkIQ CLI/MCP server to query Microsoft 365 Copilot data (emails, meetings, docs, Teams, people) for live context, summaries, and recommendations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Microsoft 365. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cloud office suites
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “Use the workiq-copilot skill to guide the Copilot CLI on how to use the WorkIQ CLI/MCP server to query Microsoft 365 Copilot data (emails, meetings…”
  • “/workiq-copilot”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Copilot CLI plugin (preferred)
  2. Standalone CLI / MCP server
  3. Tenant consent

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Workiq Copilot loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

WorkIQ Copilot Skill

Overview

WorkIQ (Public Preview) lets Copilot query Microsoft 365 data with natural language. It supports schedules, documents, Teams messages, email threads, follow-up tracking, stakeholder summaries, and more. Use this skill whenever a task needs live organizational intelligence beyond the local repository.

Supported Data & Sample Prompts

  • Emails – “Summarize emails from Sarah about the budget.”
  • Meetings – “What are my upcoming meetings this week?”
  • Documents – “Find recent documents about Q4 planning.”
  • Teams – “Summarize messages in the Engineering channel today.”
  • People/Projects – “Who is working on Project Alpha?”

Getting Access

  1. Copilot CLI plugin (preferred)
    • copilot
    • /plugin marketplace add github/copilot-plugins
    • /plugin install workiq@copilot-plugins
    • Restart Copilot CLI.
  2. Standalone CLI / MCP server
    • npm install -g @microsoft/workiq (or npx -y @microsoft/workiq mcp).
    • Run workiq mcp to expose MCP tools if needed.
  3. Tenant consent
    • First use prompts for Microsoft 365 admin consent (EULA + permissions). Non-admins must contact tenant admin to approve per the Tenant Administrator Enablement Guide.

Pre-flight Checklist

  • Run Get-Command workiq to ensure the binary is available.
  • Accept the EULA once via workiq accept-eula.
  • Confirm the correct tenant (-t <tenant-id> if different from default common).
  • Be ready to complete device login in the browser when prompted.

Core Workflow

  1. Clarify intent – agenda, action items, document lookup, people search, risk summary, etc.
  2. Craft precise prompt – include timeframe, source, or topic (e.g., “Summarize Teams posts in #eng for today”).
  3. Run command – workiq ask --question "<prompt>" (use -q for shorthand if desired).
  4. Monitor execution – long answers may stream; wait for the response to finish before issuing additional requests.
  5. Summarize & redact – highlight insights, note conflicts/tasks, avoid pasting raw links unless required.
  6. Offer follow-ups – blocking time, drafting notes, deeper queries, etc.

Command Reference

CommandPurpose
workiq --helpShow global options.
workiq versionDisplay installed version.
workiq accept-eulaAccept license (first use).
workiq askInteractive mode.
workiq ask --question "..."Ask a specific question (use -q shorthand if preferred).
workiq ask -t <tenant> -q "..."Target a specific tenant.
workiq mcpStart MCP stdio server (expose WorkIQ tools to other agents).

Prompt Patterns

  • Agenda: “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
  • Action items: “Summarize follow-ups from today’s customer sync.”
  • Documents: “List PowerPoints about Contoso FY26 roadmap.”
  • Communications: “What did my manager say about the deadline?”
  • Insights: “What blockers came up in the last three meetings?”
  • Planning: “Suggest focus blocks for Tuesday afternoon.”
Show full SKILL.md (225 more words)Show less

Response Guidelines

  • Keep summaries concise (2–3 sentences) calling out load, priorities, blockers, and optional next steps.
  • Refer to meetings/documents generically unless the user specifically needs links.
  • Mention if WorkIQ can continue (e.g., “WorkIQ can show Thu–Sun if needed”).
  • Map WorkIQ’s suggested actions to clear offers (block time, send follow-up, request recording, run deeper query).

Best Practices

  • Prefer narrow prompts to reduce noise; run multiple queries if needed.
  • Combine outputs logically (agenda + conflicts + action items) before responding.
  • Respect privacy: do not expose attendee lists or confidential snippets unless explicitly requested.
  • Log which commands were run so future steps can reference them (“Asked WorkIQ for agenda + conflicts”).
  • Use MCP mode (workiq mcp) when another agent/workflow needs direct tool access.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing CLI – install via npm or ensure PATH is set; notify user if unavailable.
  • Consent/auth errors – re-run command after admin grants permissions or after completing device login.
  • Long/incomplete output – rerun with refined scope or ask for specific data slices (per day/project/person).
  • Command hanging – cancel the running command in your terminal (for example, with Ctrl+C) or restart the Copilot CLI session, then retry; ensure browser login completed.

Follow-up Actions to Offer

  • Block focus/overflow holds at suggested times.
  • Draft reschedule/decline messages referencing WorkIQ guidance.
  • Request recordings or summaries for overlapping sessions.
  • Capture action items into task trackers.
  • Run additional WorkIQ queries (by project, stakeholder, time range) for deeper analysis.
