  const response = await fetch("https://app.usechar.ai/api/organization-skills/list", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ limit: 20, offset: 0 }),
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    const error = await response.json();
    throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message}`);
  }
