    WorkIQ Copilot Skill

    Overview

    WorkIQ (Public Preview) lets Copilot query Microsoft 365 data with natural language. It supports schedules, documents, Teams messages, email threads, follow-up tracking, stakeholder summaries, and more. Use this skill whenever a task needs live organizational intelligence beyond the local repository.

    Supported Data & Sample Prompts

    • Emails – “Summarize emails from Sarah about the budget.”
    • Meetings – “What are my upcoming meetings this week?”
    • Documents – “Find recent documents about Q4 planning.”
    • Teams – “Summarize messages in the Engineering channel today.”
    • People/Projects – “Who is working on Project Alpha?”

    Getting Access

    1. Copilot CLI plugin (preferred)
      • copilot
      • /plugin marketplace add github/copilot-plugins
      • /plugin install workiq@copilot-plugins
      • Restart Copilot CLI.
    2. Standalone CLI / MCP server
      • npm install -g @microsoft/workiq (or npx -y @microsoft/workiq mcp).
      • Run workiq mcp to expose MCP tools if needed.
    3. Tenant consent
      • First use prompts for Microsoft 365 admin consent (EULA + permissions). Non-admins must contact tenant admin to approve per the Tenant Administrator Enablement Guide.

    Pre-flight Checklist

    • Run Get-Command workiq to ensure the binary is available.
    • Accept the EULA once via workiq accept-eula.
    • Confirm the correct tenant (-t <tenant-id> if different from default common).
    • Be ready to complete device login in the browser when prompted.

    Core Workflow

    1. Clarify intent – agenda, action items, document lookup, people search, risk summary, etc.
    2. Craft precise prompt – include timeframe, source, or topic (e.g., “Summarize Teams posts in #eng for today”).
    3. Run command – workiq ask --question "<prompt>" (use -q for shorthand if desired).
    4. Monitor execution – long answers may stream; wait for the response to finish before issuing additional requests.
    5. Summarize & redact – highlight insights, note conflicts/tasks, avoid pasting raw links unless required.
    6. Offer follow-ups – blocking time, drafting notes, deeper queries, etc.

    Command Reference

    CommandPurpose
    workiq --helpShow global options.
    workiq versionDisplay installed version.
    workiq accept-eulaAccept license (first use).
    workiq askInteractive mode.
    workiq ask --question "..."Ask a specific question (use -q shorthand if preferred).
    workiq ask -t <tenant> -q "..."Target a specific tenant.
    workiq mcpStart MCP stdio server (expose WorkIQ tools to other agents).

    Prompt Patterns

    • Agenda: “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
    • Action items: “Summarize follow-ups from today’s customer sync.”
    • Documents: “List PowerPoints about Contoso FY26 roadmap.”
    • Communications: “What did my manager say about the deadline?”
    • Insights: “What blockers came up in the last three meetings?”
    • Planning: “Suggest focus blocks for Tuesday afternoon.”

    Response Guidelines

    • Keep summaries concise (2–3 sentences) calling out load, priorities, blockers, and optional next steps.
    • Refer to meetings/documents generically unless the user specifically needs links.
    • Mention if WorkIQ can continue (e.g., “WorkIQ can show Thu–Sun if needed”).
    • Map WorkIQ’s suggested actions to clear offers (block time, send follow-up, request recording, run deeper query).

    Best Practices

    • Prefer narrow prompts to reduce noise; run multiple queries if needed.
    • Combine outputs logically (agenda + conflicts + action items) before responding.
    • Respect privacy: do not expose attendee lists or confidential snippets unless explicitly requested.
    • Log which commands were run so future steps can reference them (“Asked WorkIQ for agenda + conflicts”).
    • Use MCP mode (workiq mcp) when another agent/workflow needs direct tool access.

    Troubleshooting

    • Missing CLI – install via npm or ensure PATH is set; notify user if unavailable.
    • Consent/auth errors – re-run command after admin grants permissions or after completing device login.
    • Long/incomplete output – rerun with refined scope or ask for specific data slices (per day/project/person).
    • Command hanging – cancel the running command in your terminal (for example, with Ctrl+C) or restart the Copilot CLI session, then retry; ensure browser login completed.

    Follow-up Actions to Offer

    • Block focus/overflow holds at suggested times.
    • Draft reschedule/decline messages referencing WorkIQ guidance.
    • Request recordings or summaries for overlapping sessions.
    • Capture action items into task trackers.
    • Run additional WorkIQ queries (by project, stakeholder, time range) for deeper analysis.
