microsoft work-iq
OFFICIALLABSCO SUMMARY
The marketplace groups those 17 skills into four Copilot plugins. workiq and workiq-preview both answer natural-language questions over a signed-in user's own mail, calendar, files, Teams messages, and people, with workiq-preview adding structured create, update, and delete tools plus raw schema discovery on top of the same read path. microsoft-365-agents-toolkit is a different six entirely -- declarative-agent-developer, install-atk, m365-agent-evaluator, slack-to-teams, teams-app-developer, and ui-widget-developer -- aimed at building and testing a Teams or Copilot agent through the ATK CLI, not at querying anyone's inbox. The remaining nine, bundled as workiq-productivity, are read-only reporting on top of the same data: action-item-extractor, channel-audit, channel-digest, daily-outlook-triage, email-analytics, meeting-cost-calculator, multi-plan-search, org-chart, and site-explorer.
This is built for people already inside a Microsoft 365 tenant, and specifically ones whose administrator has completed the consent flow the README names as a prerequisite -- without it, none of the data-reading skills can reach a mailbox, calendar, or SharePoint site at all. Someone without tenant admin rights, and no admin willing to grant that consent, gets nothing usable here regardless of which of the 17 skills they try.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
It says itself that this is unfinished. work-iq's own README marks the whole marketplace "Public Preview" and warns that its features and APIs may change, which matters more here than in most packages because a breaking change to the underlying WorkIQ CLI would affect every one of the 17 skills at once, not just one.
Not all seventeen are gated behind that consent screen. Our own dependency count for this package comes to 11 running through the hosted MCP service and 4 needing an account credential; the other two need only a local tool or nothing at all, so a couple of these skills work before a tenant administrator is ever involved.

17 showing · 17 totalNothing else to set up — install it and go.
action-item-extractor
Reads the chat from a Teams meeting and pulls out the promises people made in it, each with an owner, a deadline and an urgency level.
channel-audit
Goes through every Teams channel you belong to and sorts them by how alive they still are, from busy to completely abandoned, with a suggested clean-up for each.
channel-digest
One page saying what your Teams channels decided, argued about, assigned and mentioned you in while you were not watching.
daily-outlook-triage
A single morning briefing on the day ahead: which meetings you have, which emails matter, what clashes, and what to handle first.
declarative-agent-developer
Builds a custom Copilot for Microsoft 365 or Teams out of configuration rather than code, and stays with it through editing, deployment and translation into other languages.
email-analytics
A statistics report on your own inbox: how much mail arrives, who it comes from, which days it piles up, and how much of it is still unread.
install-atk
Gets Microsoft's toolkit for building Teams and Copilot agents working on your machine — the command-line tool, and the Visual Studio Code extension if you want it.
m365-agent-evaluator
Puts a custom Microsoft 365 Copilot agent through a set of test questions and scores the answers, so the weak spots show up before your users find them.
meeting-cost-calculator
Counts the real price of your calendar: the hours you lose to meetings, and the hours everyone else loses sitting in them with you.
multi-plan-search
Tasks in Microsoft Planner sit in separate plans, so this searches every plan you can reach at once and hands back a single list.
org-chart
Draws a picture of where a colleague sits in the company: the chain of managers above them, the peers beside them, and the people who report to them.
site-explorer
Browsing SharePoint from the command line, one level at a time, instead of clicking your way through it in a browser.
slack-to-teams
Slack bots and Microsoft Teams bots are built differently, and this walks a bot from one platform to the other — or keeps a single bot working on both.
teams-app-developer
Writes a real Microsoft Teams app — a chat bot, a tab, or a shortcut inside the message box — then tests it on your own machine and puts it live on Azure.
ui-widget-developer
Makes Microsoft 365 Copilot answer with something you can actually click — a card, a chart, a small form — instead of plain text, by building the service behind it.
workiq
The connection that lets an assistant reach into your work account — mail, calendar, files, Teams, tasks — both to look things up and to change them for you.
workiq-preview
Microsoft's own bridge between an AI assistant and the Microsoft 365 account you use at work — the assistant can look through your mail, calendar, files, Teams messages and colleague directory, and change things there rather than just report on them.
