What it does

Planner Status Report is an agent skill from microsoft/work-iq, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Generates a Microsoft Planner status report for one plan, using task status, owners, dates, priorities, buckets, risks, wins, progress, upcoming commitments, and milestones.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.1k 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 Product & Project Management, covering Project management. The repository describes itself as: MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

  • “Use the planner-status-report skill to generate a Microsoft Planner status report for one plan, using task status, owners, dates, priorities…”
  • “/planner-status-report”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the user and current date
  2. Resolve exactly one Planner plan
  3. Extract the report specification
  4. Fetch plan metadata and task data
  5. Normalize and categorize tasks
  6. Determine health verdict
  7. Resolve grouping for Progress and Milestones
  8. Compose the report
  9. Delivery behavior

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 markdown).

    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

Planner Status Report loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,232 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.1k

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 2,232 words (~5,058 tokens).

“Generate an AI status report from live Microsoft Planner plan data. Use this for a single Planner plan when the user asks to create, draft, generate, pull, prepare, or write a status report, project update, progress report, executive summary, recap…”
