Bohdan Triapitsyn 1ed3f1f575 feat(skills): curated GitHub catalog redesign (#3016)
* feat(skills): remove ClawHub catalog integration

Drop the ClawHub registry as a skills catalog source across web server,
shared UI, VS Code, docs, and locales. The catalog now serves git-based
sources only: the curated Anthropic repo and user-defined repositories.
Also removes the now-unused adm-zip dependency.

* feat(skills): redesign catalog around curated GitHub repositories

Replace the single-source dropdown with a card grid of curated GitHub
repositories (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor pstack/skills, Matt Pocock) plus
user-defined sources. Source cards show skill counts, GitHub stars, and
last-updated time; a global search covers all loaded sources.

Server: curated sources gain GitHub repo metadata (stars, pushed_at)
fetched best-effort with a 3-hour in-memory and on-disk cache; scans
run through a concurrency-limited, deduplicated cache with 3-hour TTL
persisted across restarts. Refresh still bypasses the cache.

Shared UI: source cards, global search with clear button, per-skill
GitHub links, install/installed states. VS Code curated list updated
to match. All new copy translated across 12 locales.

* fix(skills): address catalog review findings

- GitHub metadata fetch timeout drops to 1.5s (under the catalog
  client's 3s deadline) and failed lookups cache briefly (5 min) so
  repeated catalog loads do not re-hit a failing API.
- Disk cache files are written with owner-only permissions (0o600);
  rename preserves the mode.
- loadSource deduplicates concurrent in-flight requests per source and
  the shared isLoadingSource flag now clears only when the last active
  source load finishes.

# Skills Catalog
The Skills Catalog lets you install skills other people have published instead of writing your own. Open it at **Settings → Skills → Catalog**.
For writing your own skills, see [Skills](/skills/).
## Install a skill
1. Open the catalog.
2. Browse the built-in sources — like the Anthropic skills repo — or search.
3. Pick a skill and install it.
4. Choose where to install it: for everything you do, or just the current project.
If a skill with the same name already exists, OpenChamber asks what to do — skip it, overwrite it, or decide per skill.
## Add your own source
You can add any Git repository as a source using its `owner/repo` name or a full Git URL. Private repositories need access set up on your machine (an SSH key or saved credentials); if a source can't authenticate, the catalog says so rather than failing silently.
