## Usage
These files can be used as templates for organizing your own boilerplate content. To load them:
```r
# Get path to example files
measures_file <- system.file("extdata", "example_measures.csv", package = "boilerplate")
methods_file <- system.file("extdata", "example_methods.json", package = "boilerplate")
# Read the files
measures_df <- read.csv(measures_file, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
methods_list <- jsonlite::fromJSON(methods_file)
