"""Build the Hermes Skills Index — a centralized JSON catalog of all skills.
This script crawls every skill source (skills.sh, GitHub taps, official,
clawhub, lobehub, claude-marketplace) and writes a JSON index with resolved
GitHub paths. The index is served as a static file on the docs site so that
`hermes skills search/install` can use it without hitting the GitHub API.
Usage:
# Local (uses gh CLI or GITHUB_TOKEN for auth)
python scripts/build_skills_index.py
# CI (set GITHUB_TOKEN as secret)
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_... python scripts/build_skills_index.py
Output: website/static/api/skills-index.json
