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 [email protected]:

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 [email protected].

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.

For full methodology, see effort-estimation-methodology.md.
