whatidid

name	whatidid
description	Generate a daily analytics report of what GitHub Copilot helped accomplish. Shows tasks completed, human effort equivalent, token usage, and a narrative story. Sends a formatted email summary. Use when the user asks about their daily activity, what Copilot helped with today, or wants a digest of the day's work.

What I Did (Copilot) — Impact Report Generator

Run the following from the repo root to generate and email today's activity report. Use --email with no argument so the tool auto-detects the user's address (from gh / git config) — never substitute a literal placeholder like [e-mail]:

python whatidid.py --email

If the user asks for a specific date range, use:

python whatidid.py --date 30D --email

To send to a specific address instead of the auto-detected one, pass it explicitly: --email [e-mail].

After running, tell the user:

• How many sessions and projects were found
• The headline and primary focus identified
• The total human effort estimate vs elapsed time (leverage ratio)
• That the email has been sent (or HTML saved)

The report is always opened in the browser automatically — no need to add --html.

If there are no sessions for the date, explain that Copilot session data is stored in the user's Copilot session-state directory (for example, ~/.copilot/session-state/ on macOS/Linux or %USERPROFILE%\.copilot\session-state\ on Windows) and suggest checking the date.
