2"""
3Fetch and parse content from the Hugging Science catalog (huggingscience.co).
5The catalog ships LLM-friendly markdown at three endpoints:
6 - https://huggingscience.co/llms.txt (compact index)
7 - https://huggingscience.co/llms-full.txt (every entry, every domain)
8 - https://huggingscience.co/topics/<slug>.md (one domain at a time)
10Each entry in a topic file looks like:
12 ### org/name-or-title
13 - **Type**: <category>
14 - **Tags**: <comma-separated>
15 - **HuggingFace**: <url> (or **Link**: <url> for blog posts)
16 - **Author**: <username> (blog posts only)
17 - **Date**: <YYYY-MM-DD> (blog posts only)
19 <one-line description>
21Usage examples:
22 fetch_catalog.py topics # list all topic slugs
23 fetch_catalog.py topic biology # fetch and pretty-print a topic
24 fetch_catalog.py topic materials-science --filter models
25 fetch_catalog.py topic chemistry --tag "drug discovery"
26 fetch_catalog.py all # dump llms-full.txt
27 fetch_catalog.py search "protein language" # substring search across llms-full.txt
28 fetch_catalog.py topic biology --format json # structured JSON output
30Stdlib only — no external deps required.
