in plain english

This repository holds the definition for CodeCrafters' Build Your Own SQLite challenge. SQLite is a widely used lightweight database that is built into countless apps, browsers, and devices. The challenge invites a learner to build a working SQLite compatible database themselves rather than only reading about how one is put together. The README itself is very short. It states plainly that the repository contains content for the challenge and that the challenge is developed using a separate tool called course-sdk, hosted at codecrafters-io/course-sdk. Anyone who wants to add support for another programming language or submit a solution is pointed to that other repository's README for instructions, rather than finding those instructions here. Because the README does not describe the challenge stages, the grading approach, or any setup steps in detail, this repository on its own reads more like internal configuration for a larger platform than a project meant to be cloned and run directly. There is no description here of what languages are supported, what a passing solution looks like, or how a participant actually gets started. If your goal is to take the Build Your Own SQLite challenge, the practical starting point is the CodeCrafters website, where this content is presented as a guided course. If your goal is to contribute new language support or infrastructure to the challenge itself, the course-sdk repository referenced in the README is where that work happens, not this one. This repo mainly exists as a data source that other tooling reads from, rather than as something meant to be run on its own.
