# whatidid Turns local Copilot session logs into an HTML report on effort, artifacts and credit spend. - plugin · `type=plugin` · GitHub Copilot · ★ 51 - Author: Microsoft - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/microsoft/What-I-Did-Copilot - Updated: 2026-10-20 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/whatidid ## What it does The plugin reads the logs Copilot leaves on your machine and builds a single HTML page from them. It estimates effort in human-hours, counts the scripts and documents your sessions produced, and maps time across roles and work modes. Credit and cost numbers come from token counts in those logs plus GitHub's published rates. Treat them as a rough shape of usage, not a bill: unclean shutdowns and gaps in the logs can throw the figures off. For anything that touches money, the official Copilot billing is the source to trust. Inside a Copilot CLI session you install it with `/plugin install` and then call `whatidid`, which looks back 7 days. The VS Code route and a cloned checkout work too. Those two want Python 3.10+, `git` and the `gh` CLI; skip `gh auth login` and the AI-driven analysis has nothing to run on. ## Install ### GitHub Copilot (native platform) **Command from the source** ```bash copilot plugin install whatidid@awesome-copilot ``` ## When to use it - see what a week of Copilot sessions actually produced - convert sessions into a human-hours estimate - find out which work modes take up your AI time - check where Copilot credits are going - show the output of your sessions to a team lead ## Example prompts - Give me a 7-day Copilot report with whatidid - whatidid for this month - Summarize what Copilot helped me with today ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

--- ## Watch the overview A 2-minute tour — what the report shows, where Copilot helped, and the leverage you're getting from your seat. [![Watch the 2-minute overview on YouTube](https://img.youtube.com/vi/NrygF8hE6vo/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://youtu.be/NrygF8hE6vo) **▶ [Watch on YouTube](https://youtu.be/NrygF8hE6vo)** --- ## Try it now Pick whichever matches how you use Copilot — all three install and run the same thing. **Option A — Copilot CLI plugin** *(requires the GitHub Copilot CLI)* In any Copilot CLI session: ```bash /plugin install whatidid@awesome-copilot ``` Then just run: ```bash whatidid # defaults to a 7-day lookback ``` **Option B — VS Code chat plugin via `@agentPlugins`** *(Awesome Copilot marketplace)* 1. Open the Command Palette → **`Chat: Plugins`** *(or type **`@agentPlugins`** in the Extensions search view)*. 2. Search **`whatidid`** → click **Install**. 3. In Copilot Chat, just ask: > *"give me a 7-day Copilot report"*  ·  *"whatidid this month"*  ·  *"summarize what Copilot helped me with today"* > 💡 **Power user tip:** the plugin is a full Python checkout under > `~/.copilot/installed-plugins/awesome-copilot/whatidid/` (Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.copilot\...`). > `cd` there and run `python whatidid.py --30D` directly. Note this is the marketplace-pinned release — see *Updating* below to refresh, or use Option C for true latest-`main`. **Option C — Clone the repo** *(maximum control, dev-mode)* Open a terminal (Windows Terminal, Terminal.app, or your favourite shell — including VS Code's built-in terminal), then: ```bash gh auth login # one-time: authenticate to GitHub (enables AI analysis) git clone https://github.com/microsoft/What-I-Did-Copilot.git cd What-I-Did-Copilot python whatidid.py # defaults to a 7-day lookback ``` Prerequisites: **Python 3.10+**, **[`git`](https://git-scm.com/)**, and **[GitHub CLI (`gh`)](https://cli.github.com/)**. See the [full requirements table](#requirements) below. That's it. A report opens in your browser showing your last 7 days with Copilot. ### 🔄 Already installed?
