What an agent can do with the php-grammar corpus

Zoclee/php-grammar: Versioned EBNF grammars and human-readable specifications for the PHP language syntax

Example questions
Paste it into your AI agent. It clones the repo at the pinned commit and indexes it on your machine.
Search the GitHub repository Zoclee/php-grammar with XERJ (https://hub.xerj.org/corpus/zoclee--php-grammar).
Run these in a shell, in order, and check each result before the next:
1. xerj --help  (success: it prints usage). If xerj is missing: curl -fsSL https://xerj.org/get | sh
2. git clone https://github.com/Zoclee/php-grammar php-grammar && git -C php-grammar checkout d63a9d206b389f5df41e49b1c7c41f5109638ee1
3. Start a local node and leave it running: xerj --insecure --data-dir ./xerj-data
4. xerj autoindex ./php-grammar --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --prefix php-grammar --progress plain
5. xerj autoindex map --url http://127.0.0.1:9200
Then answer my question from the indexed files and cite the ax_path of every hit. Query syntax: https://xerj.org/llms.txt

Not installable yet: this corpus is not in the hub registry until its licence review passes, so xerj corpus add and xerj ask cannot fetch it. It becomes installable when this card says live in the hub.
