Quick context: I previously tried submitting this as an external plugin (#1420, #1425). #1420 was rejected because the repo was in my personal account — I've since moved it to
microsoft/copilot-brag-sheet. #1425 I closed myself after discovering thatcopilot plugin installdoesn't actually loadjoinSession()extensions. So I'm submitting the core value as a standalone skill instead — no install required, works out of the box.I built this because I kept forgetting what I shipped by the time review season came around.
This skill helps turn half-remembered work into solid review notes — impact-first bullets you can drop straight into a review doc. It can pull context from git history, PRs, and Copilot CLI session logs, then group things by category (PRs, bug fixes, infra, oncall, docs, etc.).
The session log angle is the part I cared about most. I use Copilot CLI a lot, and that history is usually the missing piece when I'm trying to reconstruct a week I forgot to write down.
There's also a companion extension (copilot-brag-sheet) for automatic tracking, but the skill works fine on its own.
