 Every JSON index is keyed by FBX filename and maps 1:1 onto the files.
 
+## Tabular index
+
+Two CSVs make the dataset browsable in the dataset viewer and loadable without downloading
+any FBX. They are generated from the JSON indexes by `scripts/build_tables.py`.
+
+`metadata.csv` — one row per animation:
+
+| column | meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `file` | path to the FBX, e.g. `animation/Jab_Cross.fbx` |
+| `prompt` | Mixamo's catalogue name |
+| `description` | Mixamo's longer description (empty for 51 clips) |
+| `text` | `description` if present, else `prompt` — a ready-to-use label |
+| `frames` | keyframe count |
+| `motion_id` | Mixamo motion UUID |
+
+`characters.csv` — one row per character, with `bone_count` and `covers_animation_rig`
+(`true` for the 97 characters whose skeleton covers all 65 animation bones).
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+anims = load_dataset("Linzhan/Mixamo", "animations", split="train")
+chars = load_dataset("Linzhan/Mixamo", "characters", split="train")
+
+# clips between 1 and 10 seconds at 30 fps
+mid = anims.filter(lambda r: 30 <= r["frames"] <= 300)
+
+# characters that any animation can drive
+ok = chars.filter(lambda r: r["covers_animation_rig"] == "true")
+```
+
+Fetch only the FBX you need:
