What an agent uses it for

An agent assessing text difficulty queries this for how Dale-Chall/ARI/Coleman-Liau/Flesch/Gunning-Fog/SMOG/Spache are combined to flag hard sentences.

Use it
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xerj-org/xerj/corpus-hub/tools/xerj-code/hub/retext-readability.json
xerj corpus add --from ./retext-readability.json
xerj corpus index retext-readability then xerj code retext-readability "your question"

Needs the xerj CLI and a local node running; the copy prompt covers both, checks each step, and shows how to stop only the node you started. No shell: the MCP tool xerj_code_search with corpus: "retext-readability", once the corpus is indexed on the node.
