Completion Log

← All terms · Orbit Tools

Also called Completions Log, COMPLETION_LOG.md

A permanent audit trail of every prompt that has shipped, stored as `COMPLETION_LOG.md` at each project's root. Append-only — never overwritten.

What it is

Every entry in the Completions Log includes the prompt number, a description of what was built, the commit hash, the model used, and detailed notes. The log is append-only — entries are never overwritten or deleted. It is the authoritative record of what has been done to a codebase over time. Even prompts that completed without a detected commit get logged with `no commit detected`.

When you would use it

You read the Completions Log when reviewing project history, building release notes, or trying to understand when and why something landed.
