What it does
Outlook Native is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Outlook calendar + inbox via PowerShell COM or Microsoft Graph
Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. It works with PowerShell, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Outlook. The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Email management
Example prompts
- “/outlook-native”
Requirements
- A credential in GRAPH_TOKEN
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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:
az
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
graph.microsoft.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GRAPH_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Outlook Native loads about 816 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 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.

Outlook Native
Read Outlook calendar events, check inbox, send emails, and schedule meetings using PowerShell COM automation or Microsoft Graph API — no browser required.
When to Use
- User asks "what's on my calendar today / this week"
- User wants to check unread emails or a specific sender's messages
- User wants to send an email or schedule a meeting from Aiden
- User needs upcoming meeting reminders or free/busy info
How to Use
Check today's calendar (COM)
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$ns = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$cal = $ns.GetDefaultFolder(9) # 9 = olFolderCalendar
$today = [DateTime]::Today
$items = $cal.Items
$items.IncludeRecurrences = $true
$items.Sort("[Start]")
$filter = "[Start] >= '$($today.ToString('g'))' AND [Start] < '$($today.AddDays(1).ToString('g'))'"
$items.Restrict($filter) | Select-Object Subject, Start, End, LocationRead unread emails (COM)
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$ns = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$inbox = $ns.GetDefaultFolder(6) # 6 = olFolderInbox
$inbox.Items | Where-Object { $_.UnRead -eq $true } |
Select-Object Subject, SenderName, ReceivedTime |
Sort-Object ReceivedTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 10Send email (COM)
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$mail = $outlook.CreateItem(0) # 0 = olMailItem
$mail.To = "recipient@example.com"
$mail.Subject = "Subject here"
$mail.Body = "Message body"
$mail.Send()Schedule a meeting (COM)
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$appt = $outlook.CreateItem(1) # 1 = olAppointmentItem
$appt.Subject = "Team Sync"
$appt.Start = "2026-04-20 14:00"
$appt.Duration = 60
$appt.Location = "Conference Room A"
$appt.RequiredAttendees = "colleague@example.com"
$appt.Save()Graph API fallback (requires GRAPH_TOKEN env var)
$token = $env:GRAPH_TOKEN
$headers = @{ Authorization = "Bearer $token" }
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarView?startDateTime=$(Get-Date -Format o)&endDateTime=$((Get-Date).AddDays(1) | Get-Date -Format o)" -Headers $headersExamples
"What meetings do I have today?" → Run the COM calendar filter for today's date range, return Subject, Start, End, Location for each event.
"Any unread emails from Vikram?"
→ Filter inbox items where UnRead -eq $true and SenderName -like '*Vikram*'.
"Send a quick email to team@company.com — subject: Sprint update, body: Demo at 3pm" → Create olMailItem via COM, set fields, call Send().
Cautions
- Outlook must be installed and the user must be logged in for COM to work
- COM operations open Outlook silently in the background — this is normal
- Graph API requires an access token (GRAPH_TOKEN); obtain via
az loginor the Microsoft identity platform - Avoid sending bulk emails or automating mass replies
- Always confirm email content with the user before calling Send()
