+description: Agentic Resource Discovery — search a local tool catalog by intent and inspect an entry to
+  get its invoke command. Ships the ard-registry skill plus an stdio MCP server (ard_search /
+  ard_inspect / ard_verify); stdlib only, the run stays local. Disclosure — no network egress, no API
+  keys and no environment variables read by the MCP front, which ranks a catalog JSON on disk; no
+  catalog ships in the repo, so the first call returns an explicit error naming the
+  `python -m ard_kit.catalogize` command that builds one.
