+# AI Workflow
+
+This repository uses GitHub labels and Codex GitHub mentions to hand work
+between a human, Cursor, Codex, and CI. It does not require an OpenAI API key in
+GitHub Actions.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Set up Codex cloud for this repository.
+2. Enable Codex code review for this repository in Codex settings.
+3. Keep these labels available:
+   - `needs-brief`
+   - `ready-for-build`
+   - `needs-ai-fix`
+   - `ready-for-human`
+
+## Issue Brief Flow
+
+1. Add `needs-brief` to an issue.
+2. Cursor writes a brief comment that includes `<!-- ai-brief -->`.
+3. `AI issue brief router` posts a bounded `@codex` request.
+4. Codex replies with one of:
+   - `codex-brief: APPROVE`
+   - `codex-brief: CHANGE`
+   - `codex-brief: REJECT`
+5. `APPROVE` adds `ready-for-build` and removes `needs-brief`.
+6. `CHANGE` keeps `needs-brief` and removes `ready-for-build`.
+7. `REJECT` removes both `needs-brief` and `ready-for-build`.
+
+Trusted maintainers can use the same `codex-brief:` line manually if the Codex
+GitHub integration does not respond.
+
+## Pull Request Flow
+
+1. Cursor opens a PR from a branch in this repository.
+2. CI runs.
+3. If CI fails, `AI PR gate` adds `needs-ai-fix` and removes
+   `ready-for-human`.
+4. If CI passes, `AI PR gate` removes stale handoff labels and posts
+   `@codex review` once for that commit.
+5. When Codex posts a review:
+   - review comments or requested changes add `needs-ai-fix`;
+   - a clean review adds `ready-for-human`.
+
+Only open same-repository PRs from trusted repository actors are routed.
