What it does
Channel Digest is an agent skill from microsoft/work-iq, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Summarize activity across multiple Teams channels into a single consolidated digest — key discussions, decisions, mentions, and action items.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Microsoft Teams. The repository describes itself as: MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ.
Example prompts
- “/channel-digest”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Identify the User
- Discover Teams and Channels
- Pull Recent Messages from Each Channel
- Analyze and Categorize Messages
- Search for User Mentions Across Channels
- Compile the Consolidated Digest
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.
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
Channel Digest loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,015 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 1,015 words (~2,453 tokens).
“Produce a consolidated summary of activity across multiple Microsoft Teams channels. Scans recent messages from each channel, identifies key discussions, decisions made, action items, and @‑mentions — then presents everything in a single, scannable digest. Ideal for managers, leads, or…”
