Can I use this to manage shared team calendars?

Yes, the skill allows you to specify target calendars by name, enabling interaction with personal, shared, and even subscribed ICS calendars.

Can Claude see my email body content automatically?

By default, the skill only retrieves metadata to protect privacy. Claude only accesses the full body content of an email or calendar event when you specifically request it to process that item.

Is it safe to let an AI manage my email?

Yes. This skill enforces a safety-first workflow where Claude must create a draft and receive your explicit confirmation via a specific CLI flag before any email or invitation is sent.

Does this skill work with the New Outlook for Windows?

No, this skill specifically requires Classic Outlook for Windows because it utilizes local COM automation which is not supported in the web-based New Outlook.
