# DLD Common

This skill ships `scripts/dld.mjs`, the bundled `dld` command-line tool the other DLD skills run for mechanical operations: assigning IDs, creating records, updating status, regenerating the index, scanning annotations, and reindexing. Do not invoke this skill directly.

`{{dld}} --help` lists the commands, where `<skill-dir>` is the absolute path of this skill's directory.
