In the readme for libretech-slipstream, it links to this empty repo while suggesting there would be example scripts for the otherwise undocumented slipstream tool.

-- C makes an art of confusing pointers with arrays and strings, which leads to lotsa neat pointer tricks; APL mistakes everything for an array, leading to neat one-liners; and Perl confuses everything period, making each line a joyous adventure <wink>. -- Tim Peters

That repo already explains how to use libretech-slipstream: https://github.com/libre-computer-project/libretech-slipstream?tab=readme-ov-file#examples

It runs a script that modifies the image. There's not much to it.

Just hindereds of lines of shell script that does non-trivial work and runs a script in who knows what context with uncertain resources and constraints. Which someone knew needed more explanation at some point in time, hence the reference to examples. So it goes.

It executes a script in the context of the image. What exactly do you want to do? You can just run the default command against the image to get an interactive shell to make modifications to your image. If you have a script for your modifications, you point it to the script.
