Work IQ Dev Tools

The agentic experience for the end-to-end Microsoft 365 Copilot plugin lifecycle. Build, improve, preview, and publish plugins that compose skills, connectors, and declarative agents.

Build Your First Plugin CLI Reference

One plugin. The whole lifecycle.

WIQD (Work IQ Dev Tools) is the agentic experience for building Microsoft 365 Copilot plugins end to end. Describe what you want to build, compose the capabilities you need, and let WIQD guide you from an idea to a validated, provisioned, packaged, and shared or published plugin. Use the same CLI commands directly when you need scripts or CI.

A plugin is the app package you ship. Skills, connectors, and declarative agents are components you can compose into it; a declarative agent adds a conversational experience, but a plugin does not need an agent to be useful.

The WIQD marketplace plugin installed in your coding assistant guides this work. It is a different artifact from the Microsoft 365 plugin you are building.

Key Highlights

Full Plugin Lifecycle

Build, improve, preview, and publish from one agentic experience. Create a plugin, compose capabilities, validate, provision, package, and share or submit it to your tenant catalog.

LSP Validation

Get real-time manifest diagnostics for declarative-agent components in your editor. Use offline source checks while authoring, then validate the exact built ZIP with package or Marketplace checks.

Guided Authoring

Describe your plugin in GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code. WIQD guides composition, validation, troubleshooting, and delivery; CLI commands remain available for automation.

npm Distribution

Install fast with a one-liner or run instantly with npx when you want to explore without a full setup.

Extensible Architecture

Extend Work IQ Dev Tools with npm-based extensions that add commands, validation providers, and health checks. Extensions power plugin composition, delivery, and component evaluation.

Improve Agent Components

When your plugin includes a declarative agent, evaluate that deployed component with wiqd agent eval. Agent evaluations do not validate an entire plugin’s skills or connectors.

Quick Start

# One-liner install
iex "& { $(irm 'https://aka.ms/wiqd/install.ps1') }"

# Create a plugin and compose its capabilities
wiqd plugin create --name my-plugin
cd my-plugin
wiqd plugin add skill --name "Triage Issues"
wiqd plugin add agent

# Validate, provision, and package
wiqd plugin validate --mode source --env dev
wiqd auth login --interactive
wiqd plugin provision --env dev
wiqd plugin package --env dev
wiqd plugin validate --mode package --env dev --package-file "<zip>"

Replace <zip> with the path returned by wiqd plugin package. Package validation uploads the existing ZIP and may require sign-in; source checks are offline.

For guided authoring, install the WIQD marketplace plugin, start a new session, and ask: “Create a plugin with an issue-triage skill and a declarative agent.” Follow the Quickstart for authentication and sharing, or Build a Plugin for connectors, publishing, and interoperability.
