Ben Kramer
Ben Kramer's work was selected for the XERJ Corpus Hub, the open reference memory AI coding agents search before they write code. When an agent meets the same problem, it gets this implementation back as a worked example, with the author and the repository attached.
Totals across every corpus @benmkramer appears in; a commit selected for two corpora counts once. Files and lines count the selected commits; each corpus indexes the whole repository at its pinned commit.
What an agent can do with the shtodo corpus
benmkramer/shtodo: A deliberately small, keyboard-first terminal todo list
- Reuse a worked example: the commit “add JSON output for shell task commands” (5 files · Rust).
- Answer from shtodo's real Rust source instead of memory (API design and specification).
- Where does shtodo handle “add JSON output for shell task commands”?
- What does tests do in shtodo?
Search the GitHub repository benmkramer/shtodo with XERJ (https://hub.xerj.org/corpus/benmkramer--shtodo). 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/benmkramer/shtodo shtodo && git -C shtodo checkout 1f2421c073a615623b60de1bda840ee07367430c 3. Start a local node and leave it running: xerj --insecure --data-dir ./xerj-data 4. xerj autoindex ./shtodo --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --prefix shtodo --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.

The corpus is the whole repository at the pinned commit, not only the files of the selected commit.
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.
Sign in with GitHub or Hugging Face to see more: every selected commit in full (commit date, every folder, licence review state, pin) and the pack builds of each corpus.
