Index Cache

This directory contains cached copies of external skill registry indices. These caches enable offline skill discovery and search without requiring network access to the upstream registries.

Files

File	Source	Description
anthropics_skills_skills_.json	Anthropic	Anthropic's skill registry
claude_marketplace_anthropics_skills.json	Claude Marketplace	Claude marketplace skills
lobehub_index.json	LobeHub	LobeHub plugin/skill index
openai_skills_skills_.json	OpenAI	OpenAI's skill/plugin registry

Refresh

These caches are automatically refreshed when you run:

hera skills refresh-index

Or manually fetch a specific registry:

hera skills refresh-index --source anthropic
hera skills refresh-index --source lobehub

Usage

The cached indices are used by:

• hera skills search <query> -- searches across all cached registries
• hera skills browse -- lists available skills from all sources
• hera skills install <name> -- resolves skill metadata from cache

Notes

• Cache files are excluded from the Nix package build (see nix/packages.nix)
• Stale caches are refreshed automatically if older than 24 hours
• Network failures gracefully fall back to the most recent cache
