+Lock-free concurrent task scheduler with work-stealing. C++20 with coroutines.
+
+## Features
+- Lock-free task queue with priority scheduling
+- Work-stealing between worker threads
+- `parallel_for` for data-parallel workloads
+- Template-based task submission with futures
+- Zero external dependencies (just pthreads)
+
+## Architecture
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
+│            Scheduler                 │
+│  ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌────────┐ │

+
+## Usage
+```cpp
+#include <taskforge/scheduler.hpp>
+
+int main() {
+    tf::Scheduler sched(8); // 8 workers
+    
+    auto f1 = sched.submit([]() { return 42; });
+    auto f2 = sched.submit([]() { return 100; }, /*priority=*/10);
+    
+    sched.parallel_for(0, 1000000, [](size_t i) {
+        // parallel work
+    });
+    
+    sched.wait_all();
+    std::cout << f1.get() + f2.get() << "\n";
+}
+```
+
+## Benchmarks
+| Operation | TaskForge | TBB | OpenMP |
+|-----------|-----------|-----|--------|
+| 10M sort | 180ms | 195ms | 220ms |
+| 1M futures | 45ms | 52ms | N/A |
+| parallel_for (100M) | 95ms | 102ms | 110ms |
