gjkim_instruction.md — Root Document for Loop Engineering

Why this document exists

Loop engineering runs many short agent iterations against one long-lived goal. Each iteration starts with little context, so it needs one stable place that says what must be true and what has already been decided. That place is gjkim_instruction.md, kept at the root of the project the loop works on.

The failure mode this document guards against is early decision lock-in. Whatever is written in the root document, every later iteration inherits as if it were a requirement. If unconfirmed details get written down — a library choice, a schema, a file layout that was only a first guess — wrong guesses become permanent and the loop loses the freedom to find better answers. So the document records only two kinds of content, and treats everything else as deliberately open.
