+# Pulse Reflex Scripts
+
+This directory contains lightweight, high-frequency automation scripts executed by the Pulse workflow (`.github/workflows/gemini-cli-bot-pulse.yml`) every 30 minutes.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Pulse scripts are intended for "reflexive" actions that require faster response times than the daily Brain runs, such as:
+- Initial issue triage and labeling.
+- Detecting and responding to urgent triggers.
+- Basic maintenance tasks.
+
+## Script Format
+
+Scripts should be standalone TypeScript (`.ts`) files and will be executed using `npx tsx`.
