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
- Ensure the user has run the interactive CLI once to create
~/.config/wilmai/config.json.
- 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.
