Commitment Tracking is an upcoming Atlas capability that will reconcile what you told a client you would do against what is actually in the repository. It will take the commitments extracted from your calls and check them against your code and commit history, then tell you which are delivered, which are still open, and which are at risk because a promised date has passed with no sign of the work. The aim is to answer, at a glance, did I deliver what I said I would.
Promised on a call, lost by Friday
The commitments you make on a call live in a transcript and your memory, nowhere near the repository.
Commitment Tracking will treat each commitment as a claim and the codebase as reality. The gap is the point: a promise with matching code is delivered, a promise with no matching work and a passed date is at risk and worth your attention now.
Evidence from code and commits
Delivery shows up as code that exists and commits that reference the work.
The capability is designed to check each commitment against your code index and recent commit history, scoring how confidently it can call something done. Low-confidence matches are flagged rather than assumed, so you stay in control of what counts as delivered.
The most accountable question, answered
Knowing what you promised and what you shipped is the core of a trustworthy client relationship.
By keeping promised and delivered side by side, Commitment Tracking will catch a slip before the client does, and make it easy to tell a client what just shipped. It will be opt-in per workspace and grounded in your extracted call notes.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Atlas commitment tracking available now?
- Not yet. It is a planned Atlas capability described on this page.
- Where do the commitments come from?
- From the commitments extracted from your call transcripts, with email as a planned later source.
- How does it know something was delivered?
- It checks each commitment against your code index and recent commits, and scores how confidently it can call the work done.
- What does at risk mean?
- A commitment whose promised date has passed with no matching code or commits, so it needs your attention.
