feat(skill-registry): category taxonomy + skill_categories tool - #618
Conversation
Reimplemented from scratch against current master -- the prior branch had overwritten sources.rs's SkillEntry scanning adapter (load.rs's default_sources/scan_sources/validate_entry dependency) with an unrelated SkillSpec/TOML module and committed a pile of debug scratch scripts, and was badly stale besides. See PR #614's close comment. Per item #185 (candidate b of item #166's design-spec): a `category` frontmatter field, defaulting to the first tag when unset, plus one read-only skill_categories MCP tool. - crates/skill-registry: category column (0004_category.sql), threaded through Frontmatter/SkillEntry/BundleEntry (so it round-trips through hub export/import, not just local scans) and db::rebuild's insert. New search::list_categories/skills_in_category read helpers and matching Registry methods. - skill_categories MCP tool: omit `category` for every category with its skill count (most populated first); pass one to list its skills. - Three pre-existing SkillEntry literals in src/cli/skill.rs (export, hub push, DB-only-source carry-forward) updated for the new field. Verified: cargo build/clippy/fmt clean against CI's exact invocations; 70 skill-registry tests (7 new) + 246 mcp_server tests + 12 cli::skill tests all pass.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe skill registry now resolves and stores skill categories. It adds category query APIs, preserves categories in bundles, initializes category fields across entry creation paths, and exposes category listing through the MCP server. Skill category support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds category taxonomy and retrieval, but several export, hub, provisioning, and legacy-import paths can silently lose or misclassify category data, while the uncategorized result cannot be queried successfully. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Derive categories for legacy bundle entries.
When BundleEntry::category is absent, #[serde(default)] sets it to "". SkillBundle::to_entries then copies this value without applying the first-tag fallback. run_import and hub pulls can therefore rebuild tagged legacy entries as uncategorized. Preserve field absence or derive the category from be.tags.

Keep the uncategorized category key queryable.
The list path converts the stored empty category to "uncategorized". The filter path then queries the literal "uncategorized" value. A client that selects the returned uncategorized category gets no uncategorized skills.
Return the empty category key with a separate display label, or add an unambiguous uncategorized filter value.
