What an agent can do with the file-ferry corpus

dspury/file-ferry: Local-first CLI and terminal UI for post-production media ops: probe camera cards, organize footage, generate proxies, build DaVinci…

Look up how file-ferry implements asset-management, backup, cli, with answers cited to file and line.
Reuse a worked example: the commit “chunk the reservation-conflict query (a >250k-file pla…” (3 files · Python).
Answer from file-ferry's real Python source instead of memory (API design and specification).

Example questions

How does file-ferry implement asset-management?
What does tests do in file-ferry?

Paste it into your AI agent. It clones the repo at the pinned commit and indexes it on your machine.

Search the GitHub repository dspury/file-ferry with XERJ (https://hub.xerj.org/corpus/dspury--file-ferry).
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/dspury/file-ferry file-ferry && git -C file-ferry checkout 906004ce26b31273f17c329e24c99e4063fd4bb2
3. Start a local node and leave it running: xerj --insecure --data-dir ./xerj-data
4. xerj autoindex ./file-ferry --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --prefix file-ferry --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.
