# Weatherreporter CLI

`weatherreporter generate daily`, `weatherreporter generate tomorrow`,
`weatherreporter generate three-day`, `weatherreporter generate weekend`,
`weatherreporter generate storm`,
`weatherreporter run morning`, and `weatherreporter run evening` currently
write Markdown reports through `scriptorium`, after writing managed preparation
artifacts and running `scriptorium render` as a preflight check.

## Shortest Useful Command

```sh
weatherreporter generate daily --date 2026-05-29 --out ./daily.md
```

The command parses flags, loads configuration, fetches weather data, builds a
Daily briefing, writes workspace artifacts, invokes
`scriptorium render --input data_package=<managed_path> --format json`, then
invokes `scriptorium run --input data_package=<managed_path> --out <managed_report>`.
When `--out` is supplied, it also writes a copy of the Markdown report to that
path.

For tomorrow planning:

```sh
weatherreporter generate tomorrow --out ./tomorrow.md
weatherreporter run evening
```

For the 3-Day Outlook:

```sh
weatherreporter generate three-day --out ./three-day.md
weatherreporter generate weekend --out ./weekend.md
```

For a focused manual Storm Report:

```sh
weatherreporter generate storm --start 2026-05-29T18:00 --end 2026-05-30T06:00 --out ./storm.md
```

## Command Overview

```text
weatherreporter generate daily
weatherreporter generate tomorrow
weatherreporter generate three-day
weatherreporter generate weekend
weatherreporter generate storm --start 2026-05-29T18:00 --end 2026-05-30T06:00
weatherreporter run morning
weatherreporter run evening
weatherreporter inspect reports
weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
weatherreporter inspect briefing RUN_ID
weatherreporter inspect data-package RUN_ID
weatherreporter inspect prior RUN_ID
weatherreporter inspect sources RUN_ID
```

`generate daily`, `generate tomorrow`, `generate three-day`,
`generate weekend`, and `generate storm` write a briefing snapshot, prompt
input data package, render preflight output, Markdown report, and metadata file
under the configured workspace. `generate storm` requires explicit `--start`
and `--end` bounds for the event window. `run evening` generates the Tomorrow
Planning Brief. `run morning` generates Daily Today and the 3-Day Outlook, plus
Weekend Outlook except on Sunday. Run commands continue remaining reports after
an independent report failure, print a JSON aggregate summary to stdout, write
compact report status logs to stderr, and return nonzero when any report
failed.

`inspect` commands read the configured workspace and emit JSON to stdout. They
do not fetch weather data or invoke `scriptorium`.

## Flags

- `-h`, `--help`: show help.
- `--config PATH`: load configuration from `PATH` instead of `/usr/local/etc/weatherreporter/config.yml`.
- `--units VALUE`: override configured Weather API units.
- `--tz NAME`: override configured Weather API timezone.
- `--out PATH`: optional Markdown report copy for `generate daily`, `generate tomorrow`, `generate three-day`, `generate weekend`, and `generate storm`.
- `--out-dir PATH`: optional directory for extra Markdown report copies from `run morning` and `run evening`.
- `--date YYYY-MM-DD`: optional date for `generate daily`; defaults to the current local date in the configured timezone.
- `--start TIME`: required start time for `generate storm`.
- `--end TIME`: required end time for `generate storm`.
- `--limit N`: maximum report records for `inspect reports`; defaults to 20,
  and `0` means no limit.

Storm times accept `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM` in the configured timezone or RFC3339
timestamps with explicit offsets.

## Inspection

```sh
weatherreporter inspect reports --limit 10
weatherreporter inspect metadata 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily_today
weatherreporter inspect briefing 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily_today
weatherreporter inspect data-package 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily_today
weatherreporter inspect prior 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily_today
weatherreporter inspect sources 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily_today
```

`inspect reports` lists recent generated runs with artifact paths and warning
counts. The other commands require a RunID. `inspect prior` returns the prior
comparable snapshot metadata selected from stored metadata, or `null` when no
prior comparable snapshot exists. `inspect sources` shows source provenance and
source warnings without dumping full weather payloads.
