Brian Yuan
Brian Yuan'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 @brian4685380 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 OpenShelf corpus
brian4685380/OpenShelf: Native macOS floating shelves for files, images, text, and links. Collect, arrange, and drag anywhere
- Look up how OpenShelf implements appkit, drag-and-drop, homebrew, with answers cited to file and line.
- Reuse a worked example: the commit “Make CLI delivery recoverable with a private expiring request queue” (6 files · Swift, Ruby).
- Answer from OpenShelf's real Swift source instead of memory (AI, prompts and agents).
- Where does OpenShelf handle “Make CLI delivery recoverable with a private expiring request queue”?
- How does OpenShelf implement appkit?
- What does sources do in OpenShelf?
