What it does

Daily Outlook Triage is an agent skill from microsoft/work-iq, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Get a quick summary of your day by pulling your inbox emails and calendar meetings. Helps you triage and prioritize your workday.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with Workday. The repository describes itself as: MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/daily-outlook-triage”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get User Profile and Time Zone
  2. Pull Inbox Emails
  3. Get Today's Calendar
  4. Generate Triage Summary

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

Daily Outlook Triage loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 763 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 763 words (~1,797 tokens).

“This skill provides a comprehensive overview of your day by analyzing your inbox emails and calendar meetings, helping you quickly triage and prioritize your workday.”
