 - `maintainer-upgrade.md` — how to apply caretaker upgrades
 
 Always check these files when you receive a caretaker assignment.

+<!-- Added by caretaker -->
+
+## Caretaker System
+
+This repository uses the caretaker automated management system.
+
+### How it works
+
+- An orchestrator runs weekly via GitHub Actions
+- It creates issues and assigns them to @copilot for execution
+- When @copilot opens PRs, the orchestrator monitors them through CI, review, and merge
+- The orchestrator communicates with @copilot via structured issue/PR comments
+
+### When assigned an issue by caretaker
+
+- Read the full issue body carefully — it contains structured instructions
+- Follow the instructions exactly as written
+- If unclear, comment on the issue asking for clarification
+- Always ensure CI passes before considering work complete
+- Reference the agent file for your role: `.github/agents/maintainer-pr.md` or `maintainer-issue.md`
+
+### Conventions
+
+- Branch naming: `maintainer/{type}-{description}`
+- Commit messages: `chore(maintainer): {description}`
+- Always run existing tests before pushing
+- Do not modify `.github/maintainer/` files unless explicitly instructed
