-Fordjent integration test repo
\ No newline at end of file
+This is a test repository for [Fordjent](https://fordjent.wdmn.fr), an AI-powered agent that turns issues into pull requests.
+
+## How to Create Issues for Fordjent
+
+Fordjent watches for new issues and automatically creates branches, writes code, and opens pull requests. To use it effectively, tag your issues with a **role prefix** so the agent knows what kind of work to perform.
+
+### Role Tags
+
+| Tag | Role | Behavior |
+|-----|------|----------|
+| `[implementer]` | **Implementer** | Writes code, creates PRs. Best for specific feature requests. |
+| `[pm]` | **Project Manager** | Decomposes large tasks into smaller labeled issues. Does NOT write code. |
+| `[reviewer]` | **Reviewer** | Reviews open PRs, suggests fixes, approves or requests changes. |
+| `[tester]` | **Tester** | Writes tests for existing code, reports bugs. |
+| `[devops]` | **DevOps** | Sets up CI/CD, Docker, infrastructure. Does not write application code. |
+
+### Examples
+
+```
+[implementer] Add a SortDesc function to the utils package
+[implementer] Fix the off-by-one error in processQueue
+[pm] Decompose the authentication module into sub-issues
+[reviewer] Review PR #5 for correctness and style
+[tester] Write integration tests for the API handlers
+[devops] Add Docker Compose for local development
+```
+
+### Issue Writing Tips
+
+- **Be specific**: "Add a function `SortDesc(items []string) []string` that sorts in descending order" works much better than "make sorting work".
+- **Include acceptance criteria**: "The function should pass these test cases: ..."
+- **One task per issue**: The agent works best with focused, single-purpose issues.
+- **Mention relevant files**: "Look at `cmd/gogit/main.go` for where to wire this command."
+
+### FSM Labels
+
+Fordjent manages these labels automatically. You generally don't need to set them manually:
+
+| Label | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `planning` | Issue is being analyzed by the PM |
+| `implementing` | Agent is actively writing code |
+| `blocked` | Issue is waiting on a dependency |
+| `ready` | Issue is unblocked and ready to work on |
+| `review` | PR is ready for human review |
+| `done` | PR merged, issue closed |
+
+### Dependency Tracking
+
+Use `Depends on: #N` in your issue body to declare dependencies. Fordjent's scheduler will automatically unblock issues when their dependencies are merged.
+
+Example:
+> This issue depends on the sort function being implemented first.
+> Depends on: #5
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Forgejo**: https://forgejo.wdmn.fr — Code hosting and issue tracking
+- **Fordjent**: https://fordjent.wdmn.fr — Agent webhook endpoint
+- **Status dashboard**: https://fordjent.wdmn.fr/status
+
+## Repository Setup
+
+This repo is pre-seeded with `go.mod` and `.gitignore` so that Fordjent's scaffold detection doesn't block the first issue.
