Wilma Skill

Overview

Wilma is the Finnish school information system used by schools and municipalities to share messages, news, exams, schedules, homework, and other student-related updates with parents/guardians.

Use the

wilma

/

wilmai

CLI in non-interactive mode to retrieve Wilma data for AI agents. Prefer

--json

outputs and avoid interactive prompts.

Quick start

Install

npm i -g @wilm-ai/wilma-cli

1. Ensure the user has run the interactive CLI once to create

   ~/.config/wilmai/config.json

   .
2. Use non-interactive commands with

   --json

   .

Core tasks

Daily briefing (start here)

wilma summary --student <id|name> --json
wilma summary --all-students --json

Returns today's and tomorrow's schedule, upcoming exams, recent homework, recent news, and recent messages in one call. This is the best starting point for any parent-facing summary.

Schedule

wilma schedule list --when today --student <id|name> --json
wilma schedule list --when tomorrow --student <id|name> --json
wilma schedule list --when week --student <id|name> --json
wilma schedule list --date 2026-03-10 --student <id|name> --json
wilma schedule list --weekday thu --student <id|name> --json

--weekday

also accepts Finnish short forms:

ma

,

ti

,

ke

,

to

,

pe

,

la

,

su

. Use

--date

or

--weekday

, not both.

Homework

wilma homework list --student <id|name> --json

Upcoming exams

wilma exams list --student <id|name> --json

Exam grades

wilma grades list --student <id|name> --json

List students

wilma kids list --json

News and messages

wilma news list --student <id|name> --json
wilma news read <id> --student <id|name> --json
wilma messages list --student <id|name> --folder inbox --json
wilma messages read <id> --student <id|name> --json

Fetch data for all students

All list commands support

--all-students

:

wilma summary --all-students --json
wilma homework list --all-students --json
wilma exams list --all-students --json

You can also pass a name fragment for

--student

(fuzzy match).

MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication)

If the Wilma account has MFA/TOTP enabled:

Interactive setup (recommended): Run

wilma

interactively. When MFA is detected, choose "Save TOTP secret for automatic login" and paste your TOTP secret or

otpauth://

URI. Future logins will auto-authenticate.

Non-interactive (one-off): Pass the TOTP secret directly:

wilma schedule list --totp-secret <base32-key> --student "Stella" --json
wilma schedule list --totp-secret 'otpauth://totp/...' --student "Stella" --json

If the TOTP secret has been saved via interactive setup,

--totp-secret

is not needed — the CLI auto-authenticates from the stored config.

Notes

• If no

  --student

  is provided, the CLI uses the last selected student from

  ~/.config/wilmai/config.json

  (or

  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wilmai/config.json

  ).
• If multiple students exist and no default is set, the CLI will print a helpful error with the list of students.
• When the account has multiple students,

  --student

  is required for read commands.
• If auth expires or the CLI says no saved profile, re-run

  wilma

  interactively or use

  wilma config clear

  to reset.
• Run

  wilma update

  to update the CLI to the latest version.

Actionability guidance (for parents)

Wilma contains a mix of urgent items and general info. When summarizing for parents, prioritize actionable items:

Include items that:

• Require action or preparation (forms, replies, permissions, materials to bring).
• Announce a deadline or time-specific requirement.
• Describe a schedule deviation or noteworthy event (trips, themed days, school closures, exams).
• Mention homework, exams, or upcoming deadlines.

De-prioritize items that:

• Are purely informational with no action, deadline, or schedule impact.
• Are generic announcements unrelated to the target period.

When in doubt, include and let the parent decide. Prefer a short, structured summary with dates and IDs.

Scripts

Use

scripts/wilma-cli.sh

for a stable wrapper around the CLI.
