  if not link_match:
    return null
  
  name = link_match.group(1)
  repository = link_match.group(2)
  
  # Extract description
  # Format: [name](url) - description
  separator_pos = content.find(" - ")
  if separator_pos == -1:
    return null
  
  description = content[separator_pos + 3:]
  
  # Validate
  if not (name and repository and description and category):
    return null
