PowerClaw is already a strong 24/7 AI Chief of Staff out of the box. This library extends it with optional, focused capabilities that leverage PowerClaw's unique strengths — autonomous heartbeat, persistent memory, SharePoint task board, and cross-M365 synthesis — in ways that go beyond what vanilla M365 Copilot can do.
💡 Skills are add-on experiences activated through Copilot Studio UI configuration, not by editing PowerClaw's core runtime or heartbeat logic.
A skill is a guided PowerClaw extension for a specific job to be done. Skills are activated through:
- Prompt Tool — add a prompt tool with copy-paste instructions in Copilot Studio
- MCP Server — enable an MCP server and toggle on the required tools
Some skills also use Code Interpreter or existing connectors.
Skills are not the same thing as:
- Core agent behavior in the shipped PowerClaw configuration
- Built-in topics that support normal assistant conversation
- Heartbeat automations that run every 30 minutes
- SharePoint brain configuration such as
user.md,agents.md,soul.md, or list-based settings
Think of PowerClaw as the operating system, and skills as optional apps you layer on top.
Most skills follow the same simple pattern:
- A user asks for a job to be done in natural language
- An admin activates the skill through the right path in Copilot Studio:
- Add the needed prompt tool
- Or enable the needed MCP server and toggle on the required tools
- Optional capabilities are enabled if needed:
- Code Interpreter
- File upload
- Relevant connectors
- The user invokes the skill conversationally in Teams or Microsoft 365 Copilot
No PowerClaw YAML surgery required. The goal is to keep the foundation stable while making capability expansion easy.
Activation types: 🔧 Prompt Tool — create a prompt tool in Copilot Studio with the provided instructions 🔌 MCP Server — enable an MCP server and toggle on the required tools (no prompt needed)
| Skill | Activation | Audience | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly Status Report | Prompt Tool | Managers, ICs, execs | Compile weekly wins, progress, blockers, and priorities |
| Meeting Copilot Loop | Prompt Tool | Execs, managers, PMs | Prep before, recap after, track commitments between |
| Commitment Tracker | Prompt Tool | Managers, execs, PMs | Extract commitments, track them, chase follow-through autonomously |
| Executive Radar | Prompt Tool | Execs, managers, chiefs of staff | Prioritized triage across mail, calendar, tasks, and memory |
| Stakeholder Brief | Prompt Tool | Execs, PMs, account teams | Living dossier on a person, account, or project |
| Decision Memo Builder | Prompt Tool | Strategy, PMs, execs | Transform rough notes into structured decision memos |
| Agent Fleet Governor | MCP Server + optional Prompt Tool | IT admins, governance teams | Monitor, audit, govern, and rationalize your org's AI agent fleet |
| Workplace Intelligence Monitor | MCP Server | HR analytics, chiefs of staff, business leaders | Query Viva Insights and Power BI models for workforce health trends |
Before adding any skill, make sure:
- PowerClaw is deployed and responding in chat
- The heartbeat and baseline setup are working
- Required connectors and MCPs are authenticated and verified
- You have reviewed the main setup guide: SETUP.md
If PowerClaw itself is not healthy yet, fix that first. Skills work best on a solid foundation.
If you're building out the library over time, this is the smoothest path:
- Weekly Status Report — highest frequency, clearest value, strong demo
- Meeting Copilot Loop — full meeting lifecycle: prep + recap + commitment tracking
- Commitment Tracker — autonomous follow-through on promises and deadlines
- Executive Radar — synthesized "what needs my attention" triage
- Stakeholder Brief — living dossiers that compound over time
- Decision Memo Builder — highest complexity, strongest executive output
- Agent Fleet Governor — MCP-powered governance skill with optional Catalog Intelligence prompt tool for duplicate detection and consolidation
- Workplace Intelligence Monitor — Power BI + Viva Insights workforce analytics via MCP
This sequence starts with the most immediately useful skills and progresses toward richer capabilities that benefit from accumulated memory and context.
Want to add a new skill? Great — please keep the library consistent.
- Copy
_skill-template.md - Name your new file clearly, like
customer-brief.mdorpipeline-summary.md - Follow the standard headings in the template
- Include tested prompts and at least one realistic example interaction
- Open a PR with your new skill doc
- Clear job-to-be-done and target audience
- Prerequisites listed accurately
- Setup steps are repeatable in Copilot Studio
- Prompt tool text is copy-paste ready
- Example interaction feels realistic
- Limitations and governance notes are honest
- Related skills are linked where useful
- Code Interpreter may consume additional Copilot Studio credits depending on usage and output generation
- WorkIQ-based skills may access tenant data such as meetings, mail, documents, and people context
- File-upload skills may process user-provided content that should follow your organization's data handling policies
For production use, it's smart to involve your security, compliance, and platform admins early — especially for skills that touch executive communications, sensitive documents, or broad tenant context.
Happy building. Start simple, prove value quickly, and grow PowerClaw one skill at a time. ⚡
