Skill catalogue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`chimera skills-catalog` lists skills that are NOT distributed with this project.
No third-party skill is vendored here. The catalogue in
`chimera/skills/catalog.json` holds pointers — repository, path, licence — and
`chimera skills-install` fetches from the source at the user's request, so what
lands on a user's disk arrives from its author under its author's terms.

The catalogue is derived from, and pinned to:

    NousResearch/hermes-agent, `skills/**`
    https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent
    MIT License, Copyright (c) 2025 Nous Research

Every one of the 82 skills in that tree declares `license: MIT` in its own
frontmatter. Several are adaptations of other people's work and credit it in
their `author` field; those chains, as recorded upstream, are:

    obra/superpowers — Jesse Vincent — MIT
        test-driven-development, systematic-debugging, requesting-code-review,
        and the writing guidance in `plan`
    gsd-build/get-shit-done — MIT
        spike, sketch
    JimLiu/baoyu-skills — Jim Liu (宝玉) — MIT
        baoyu-infographic
    xdevplatform/xurl, f-trycua — MIT
        xurl, computer-use

Deliberately NOT in the catalogue, and worth writing down so nobody adds it
later by accident:

  * `anthropics/skills` — that repository has no top-level licence and licenses
    per skill. Its `docx`, `pdf`, `pptx` and `xlsx` skills are source-available
    rather than open source: their LICENSE.txt reserves all rights and forbids
    retaining copies outside Anthropic's services, copying, derivative works and
    redistribution. Those four names COLLIDE with MIT skills of the same name in
    the tree above, so a catalogue that resolved skills by short name could pick
    the wrong one and never look wrong. This one resolves by repository and full
    path, always.

  * The upstream `skills/index-cache/` directory, which indexes other
    publishers' catalogues — including the one above — and `optional-skills/`,
    whose licences have not been read.

Two skills orchestrate copyleft software without embedding it, which is a
runtime obligation for whoever runs them rather than a distribution one here:
`comfyui` drives ComfyUI (GPL-3.0), and `p5js` produces pages that embed p5.js
(LGPL-2.1).
