What it does
Action Item Extractor is an agent skill from microsoft/work-iq, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Extract action items with owners, deadlines, and priorities from meeting content

The repository describes itself as: MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ.
Example prompts
- “/action-item-extractor”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Retrieve User Profile, Meeting Details, and Attendees
- Pull Teams Meeting Chat Messages
- Parse for Action-Oriented Language
- Cross-Reference Owners Against Attendee List
- Assign Priority
- Format Action Items Table
- Output Structured Data
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1060873. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Action Item Extractor loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 516 words (~1,175 tokens).
“Parses Teams meeting chat messages for action-oriented language — commitments, assignments, and deadlines. Cross-references owners against the attendee list and assigns priority levels. Outputs a structured table ready for downstream recipes.”
