What The Docket does

the-docket is a Claude Code plugin that keeps a repo's decisions from being undone. A hook prints what governs the region before an edit; a read-only judge checks the diff against the ledger at stop; a witness keeps every citation honest in CI. Rulings live in your repo, never in the plugin.

**Who this is for.** A builder who uses a coding agent on one project across many sessions, and who has watched the agent undo a decision that was already made — because nothing made it read the *why* first.

**What you already know.** You keep decisions somewhere, or you mean to. You know a coding agent starts every session from the code as it is, not the argument that made it that way.

**What you will not need to know.** You do not need to have used a decision log before, or to know how a plugin binds to a repo. This page starts there.

**Purpose.** After reading, you can install TheDocket on a repository and record your first ruling, and the next edit to that region will print what governs it before it changes.
