Use gh-aw agentic workflow for AI-powered registry categorization

[Copilot]

Replace hardcoded keyword-matching categorization with a GitHub Agentic Workflow that uses AI to intelligently categorize skills in the registry.

scripts/generate-registry.py — two-phase design

Refactored to support the agentic workflow's fetch→categorize→build pipeline:

• --fetch-only: dumps compact JSON (name, description, keywords, version) to stdout for the AI agent to read
• --categories FILE: reads a {package_name: category} JSON mapping and builds registry.md with category badges + filter UI
• No args: builds without categories (backward compat for docs.yml)

# Phase 1: deterministic fetch
python scripts/generate-registry.py --fetch-only > packages.json

# Phase 2: AI categorizes, writes categories.json

# Phase 3: build with categories
python scripts/generate-registry.py --categories categories.json

.github/workflows/generate-registry.md — gh-aw workflow

Scheduled daily agentic workflow that:

• Fetches packages via --fetch-only
• AI reads each package and assigns one of 10 categories (AI & Agents, Code Quality, Testing, Documentation, Web Dev, DevOps, Security, Data, Productivity, Other)
• Generates categorized registry and deploys via mkdocs gh-deploy
• Creates PR with changes via safe-outputs

.github/workflows/docs.yml

Removed scheduled cron (moved to agentic workflow). Push-triggered and manual dispatches unchanged.

Post-merge

Run gh aw compile to generate generate-registry.lock.yml, commit and push.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• github.github.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -sSL -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} %{redirect_url} REDACTED (dns block)
• https://api.github.com/repos/github/gh-aw/releases/latest
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/gh gh extension install github/gh-aw (http block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
