+#### Auto-Expiration
+
+The `expires` field automatically closes issues after a specified time period. Supports both integer (days) and relative time formats:
+
+- **Integer**: `expires: 7` (7 days)
+- **Days**: `expires: 7d` or `7D` (7 days)
+- **Weeks**: `expires: 2w` or `2W` (14 days)
+- **Months**: `expires: 1m` or `1M` (30 days, approximate)
+- **Years**: `expires: 1y` or `1Y` (365 days, approximate)
+
+When enabled, the compiler automatically generates an `agentics-maintenance.yml` workflow that runs daily to close expired items. Issues are closed as "completed" with an explanatory comment and workflow attribution.
+
 #### Temporary IDs for Issue References
 
 When creating multiple issues, use temporary IDs to reference parent issues before they're created. The agent provides a `temporary_id` field with format `aw_` followed by 12 hex characters.
