What

Runs /dld-init on dld-kit itself and records the long-running-goal design as decisions DL-001 through DL-005 (tag dld-goal).

decisions/ is dld-kit's own decision log — dogfooding, not example content for users. CLAUDE.md says so explicitly so contributors don't mistake it for shipped material. PRACTICES.md is derived from conventions already documented in CLAUDE.md.

Also adds docs/plan/goal-loop.md, the narrative design behind the decisions, based on a survey of the Pi goal-loop ecosystem (pi-goal, pi-goal-x, pi-goal-list-loop-audit, pi-loop-mode, ralphi, pi-ralph-wiggum, pi-autoresearch).

Notable

The key design bet: DLD's decision log already is the durable work ledger those extensions each reinvent, and proposed vs accepted gives a deterministic completion condition that a model cannot fake.

Base of a 5-PR stack implementing Stage 1.

Run dld-init on the toolkit's own repo: flat config, decisions/ with
records/, empty INDEX.md, and a practices manifest derived from the
conventions already documented in CLAUDE.md.

Also adds the goal-loop design plan and gitignores local agent state.

Breaks the docs/plan/goal-loop.md design into five decisions tagged
dld-goal: run state format, work-item batching and hash pinning,
the four-part completion transaction, run halt conditions, and the
skill/extension split. Plan doc now links to the records.
