Vendor Commitment Tracker
Prerequisites
This skill needs the iGPT MCP at https://mcp.igpt.ai/.
If the MCP tools aren't available or return an auth error, tell the
user to install the iGPT plugin (/plugin marketplace add igptai/skills)
or add https://mcp.igpt.ai/ as a connector, then complete OAuth and say
"ready". Retry once after they confirm. Never invent tokens or OAuth URLs.

What This Skill Does
Scans all vendor and supplier email threads to extract every commitment made
by a vendor — delivery dates promised, SLA guarantees given, price holds
agreed, stock availability confirmed — and tracks whether each has been
fulfilled or remains open and unverified.
Workflow
-
Before calling any tool, collect these values from the user. Offer the
defaults and let the user override them; do not invent values they did
not give.
- [time_range] — what window of email to scan. The user may give this
in any form ("last 90 days", "the last quarter", "May 2024",
"since the master agreement"). Default: the last 90 days. Keep
the user's natural phrasing for use in the ask input; convert to
ISO dates separately for the search call.
- [vendor_scope] — either "all" (default) or the name of a specific
vendor to focus on.
- [vendor_clause] — derived. When [vendor_scope] is not "all", set
to " for vendor [vendor_scope]". When [vendor_scope] is "all", set
to empty string.
-
Call search with:
- query: commit deliver guarantee promise confirm by available stock
price hold SLA service level vendor supplier
(if [vendor_scope] is not "all", append the vendor name to the query)
- date_from: ISO start date derived from [time_range]
- date_to: ISO end date derived from [time_range] (or today if open-ended)
-
Call ask with:
- input: Review all vendor and supplier email threads from [time_range][vendor_clause]. For each vendor, extract every commitment they made — delivery date promises, SLA guarantees, price holds, stock availability confirmations, service level commitments, and any other formal or informal assurance. For each commitment determine whether there is evidence of fulfillment in subsequent emails or whether it remains open and unverified.

-
Present at_risk and missed commitments first, ordered by risk_level then
days_until_due. Lead with at_risk count and the most critical open item.
-
Ask: "Would you like me to draft a vendor accountability email for any
at-risk or missed commitments?"
