The prompt
Paste it into your AI agent. It clones davewalker5/OctopusController at the pinned commit and indexes it on your machine.
Search the GitHub repository davewalker5/OctopusController with XERJ (https://hub.xerj.org/corpus/davewalker5--octopuscontroller). 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/davewalker5/OctopusController OctopusController && git -C OctopusController checkout 0a8506953dd3d39dc20ea207d1fda91c204ea2bc 3. Start a local node and leave it running: xerj --insecure --data-dir ./xerj-data 4. xerj autoindex ./OctopusController --url http://127.0.0.1:9200 --prefix octopuscontroller --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.
