What an agent can do with the chalkline corpus

block/chalkline: Snap a line before your agents build

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 block/chalkline with XERJ (https://hub.xerj.org/corpus/block--chalkline).
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/block/chalkline chalkline && git -C chalkline checkout 45a4735213a28267a008aa10bb8cddfb624e5d06
3. Start a local node and leave it running: xerj --insecure --data-dir ./xerj-data
4. xerj autoindex ./chalkline --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --prefix chalkline --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

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.
