powerskills-workiq

A tool for automating Microsoft 365 through Work IQ, a command-line interface connected to Microsoft Graph. It can work with Outlook mail and calendars, Teams messages, SharePoint, OneDrive, and people records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask questions about work mail, schedules, Teams conversations, shared files, and contacts, or to send, copy, and move items when permitted.
Why use it?
It lets an agent access cloud-based Microsoft 365 data without requiring the Outlook desktop app to be open.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

powerskills-workiq scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (workiq.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

PowerSkills - Work IQ

Microsoft 365 automation through the official Work IQ CLI. Talks straight to Graph via silent SSO, so it reaches mail, calendar, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and People without needing a running Outlook desktop client.

Why not just use outlook?

Aspect powerskills workiq powerskills outlook
Backend Microsoft Graph via Work IQ CLI Local Outlook COM
Reach Mail + Calendar + Teams + SharePoint + OneDrive + People Mail + Calendar only
Outlook client required No Yes (must be running)
Elevation Works from admin or user shell Non-admin only (COM integrity)
Tenant setup Requires user consent (some tenants need admin consent) None
Output shape Structured Graph entities + deep-links COM properties

Use workiq for the strong, cloud-side path. Keep outlook for offline or COM-only situations.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11
  • PowerShell 5.1 or later
  • Node.js and npm (for install action)
  • Microsoft 365 work account signed in on the machine (Windows Account Manager / SSO)
  • Work IQ CLI (workiq) on PATH - the install action handles this

Setup in one command

If Work IQ is not installed yet, this skill can bootstrap it:

.\powerskills.ps1 workiq install
.\powerskills.ps1 workiq accept-eula
.\powerskills.ps1 workiq check

install runs npm install -g @microsoft/workiq. accept-eula records EULA acceptance. check reports version, EULA state, and whether the CLI is reachable on PATH.

Actions

.\powerskills.ps1 workiq <action> [--params]
Action Params Description
check Report install state: installed, version, path, eula_accepted
install [--scope user|machine] Install Work IQ globally via npm (user scope by default)
accept-eula Accept Work IQ EULA (required once before any query)
version Show Work IQ CLI version
ask --question "text" [--agent name] [--timeout 120] Natural-language query against a Work IQ agent
agents [--get-card name] List Work IQ agents, or return one agent card
fetch --url <graph-path> Fetch a Work IQ entity by path (e.g. /me, /me/messages)
search-paths --filter <regex> [--backend graph-v1|sharepoint-rest|dataverse] Discover Graph paths by regex (helps build fetch/call-function URLs)
get-schema --path <api-path> [--method get|post|patch|delete] [--api-version v1.0|beta] Return the OpenAPI schema for a given path
call-function --url <path-with-query> Call a read-only Graph function (e.g. /me/calendar/getSchedule?...). Include the query string in --url.
do-action --url <path> [--body <json>] POST a Graph action (e.g. /me/sendMail)
create --url <collection> --body <json> POST a new entity (e.g. /me/messages)
update --url <entity> --body <json> PATCH an existing entity (e.g. /me/events/{id})
delete --url <entity> DELETE an entity
debug --conversation <id> Create a Work IQ debug share link for a conversation
raw --args "arg1 arg2 ..." Escape hatch: run any raw workiq sub-command

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
