DLD (Decision-Linked Development)

This project uses Decision-Linked Development. Decision records (DL-*.md) live in decisions/records/. High-level docs (INDEX.md, OVERVIEW.md, SNAPSHOT.md) live in decisions/.

Rules

• When you encounter @decision(DL-XXX) annotations in code, use /dld-lookup DL-XXX to read the referenced decision BEFORE modifying the annotated code.
• ALWAYS look up and verify related decisions before modifying annotated code. Do not skip this step.
• NEVER modify code in a way that contradicts an existing decision without first confirming with the user. If the change requires breaking a previous decision, a new decision must be recorded (via /dld-decide) that explicitly supersedes the old one.
• Use /dld-decide to record new decisions
• Use /dld-plan to break down a feature into multiple grouped decisions
• Use /dld-implement to implement proposed decisions
• Use /dld-lookup to query decisions by ID, tag, or code path
• Use /dld-audit to scan for drift between decisions and code
• Use /dld-snapshot to regenerate SNAPSHOT.md and OVERVIEW.md from the decision log
• Use /dld-status for a quick overview of the decision log state
• Use /dld-retrofit to generate decisions from an existing codebase
