Ladder Summary

file The **`bulk-ask.sh`** script reads a list of task descriptions from a given file (ignoring blank lines and comments), and for each line it echoes the task and invokes `zz repo ask <owner/repo> "<task>"`, effectively posting a series of individual “ask” tasks to the specified repository. It tracks and reports the total number of asks posted. The script does not export any functions or classes.

+#!/bin/bash

+# Stage 6 ("bulk ASK posting"): a shell loop driving the real `zz`

+# CLI, one `zz repo ask` call per task -- deliberately not a dedicated

+# bulk-post command. `zz repo ask` already does the one-ask case

+# correctly, and for a demo narrating "I'm posting a batch of tasks,"

+# a sequence of visible, real commands reads better than one opaque

+# bulk call hiding what's actually happening.

+# Usage: demo/bulk-ask.sh <owner/repo> <tasks-file>

+# <tasks-file>: one task description per line. Blank lines and lines

+# starting with # are skipped. See demo/mathkit-tasks.txt for an

+# example/starting point -- edit it (or point at your own file) with

+# the real task list before recording.
