PowerClaw

PowerClaw Skills Library

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.

What is a Skill?

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.

How Skills Work

Most skills follow the same simple pattern:

  1. A user asks for a job to be done in natural language
  2. 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
  3. Optional capabilities are enabled if needed:
    • Code Interpreter
    • File upload
    • Relevant connectors
  4. 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.

Skills Catalog

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 You Start

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.

Recommended Starting Order

If you're building out the library over time, this is the smoothest path:

  1. Weekly Status Report — highest frequency, clearest value, strong demo
  2. Meeting Copilot Loop — full meeting lifecycle: prep + recap + commitment tracking
  3. Commitment Tracker — autonomous follow-through on promises and deadlines
  4. Executive Radar — synthesized "what needs my attention" triage
  5. Stakeholder Brief — living dossiers that compound over time
  6. Decision Memo Builder — highest complexity, strongest executive output
  7. Agent Fleet Governor — MCP-powered governance skill with optional Catalog Intelligence prompt tool for duplicate detection and consolidation
  8. 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.

How to Contribute a Skill

Want to add a new skill? Great — please keep the library consistent.

  1. Copy _skill-template.md
  2. Name your new file clearly, like customer-brief.md or pipeline-summary.md
  3. Follow the standard headings in the template
  4. Include tested prompts and at least one realistic example interaction
  5. Open a PR with your new skill doc

Authoring Checklist

  • 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

Notes on Cost & Governance

  • 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. ⚡
