Docket – Per-commit evidence records for agent-written code
AI Summary

Docket is a new tool designed to provide per-commit evidence records for code generated by AI agents. It captures the 'implementation journey' of an agent, allowing human reviewers to focus their attention on areas where evidence is lacking.
