+# gitea-workflow
+
+Human-facing entry point and router for the Gitea integration.
+
+## What it does
+
+This skill is the conversational front door to the Gitea suite — it replaces the old flat `/gitea` skill. On its own it never calls a Gitea MCP tool; it composes the six domain skills (`gitea-issues`, `gitea-labels-milestones`, `gitea-prs`, `gitea-branches`, `gitea-files`, `gitea-releases`). It handles the no-args status check-in (open issues + open PRs), resolves ambiguous issue-or-PR numbers before dispatching (issues and PRs share one number space), and points a user or agent to the right domain skill when it's unclear which one applies.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+/gitea-workflow
+```
+
+Invoke with no arguments for a status check-in, with a bare number to resolve and show issue or PR detail, or with a general request to be routed to the right domain skill.

+name: gitea-workflow
+
+description: >
+  Use when a human wants a general or ambiguous Gitea status check or isn't sure which Gitea
+  domain skill applies — a no-args check-in ("what's going on in the repo", "any updates?"),
+  a bare-numbered reference that could be an issue or a PR ("what's the status of #42", "what's
+  happening with #17"), or a request to discover which Gitea capability handles a task. This is
+  the human-facing entry point and router for the Gitea integration — it replaces the old flat
+  `/gitea` invocation (now `/gitea-workflow`) and composes the six domain skills
+  (`gitea-issues`, `gitea-labels-milestones`, `gitea-prs`, `gitea-branches`, `gitea-files`,
+  `gitea-releases`) rather than calling any Gitea MCP tool directly. Do not use this skill when
+  the domain is already known and unambiguous — invoke the matching domain skill directly instead
+  (e.g. "create an issue" → `gitea-issues`, "merge PR #10" → `gitea-prs`, "cut a release" →
+  `gitea-releases`). Do not use for local git operations with no Gitea component (use
+  `git-workflow`).
+
+compatibility: Requires Gitea MCP server configured with a token; delegates all calls to the six
+  domain skills, which in turn require write:issue and write:repository scopes at minimum.

+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **This skill never calls a Gitea MCP tool itself.** Every read or write goes through one of the six domain skills. If a request needs a raw `mcp__gitea__*` call that no domain skill exposes, that's a gap in a domain skill, not something to patch here.
+- **Issues and PRs share one number space** — a bare number like `#42` could be either. Never guess from context clues alone; resolve it with a real call (see Step 2) before dispatching.
+- **A 404 on the resolution call doesn't necessarily mean the number doesn't exist.** Gitea hides permission errors as not-found (documented in `gitea-issues`' Gotchas). If resolution 404s unexpectedly, say so and suggest checking token scope rather than reporting "no such issue or PR."
+
+## Step 1 — Default status view (no args)
+
+When invoked with no specific request, give a status check-in:
+
+1. Invoke `gitea-issues` to list open issues (`state: "open"`).
+2. Invoke `gitea-prs` to list open PRs (`state: "open"`).
+3. Run both in parallel — they're independent reads.
+4. Report as two sections, "Open Issues" and "Open Pull Requests", each as a compact list (number, title). This preserves the original flat `/gitea` skill's default behavior.
+
+## Step 2 — Resolve an ambiguous number
+
+When the user references a bare number without saying "issue" or "PR" (e.g. "what's going on with #42"):
+
+1. Invoke `gitea-issues` to run `issue_read method: "get"` on that number.
+2. Check the response's `is_pull` field:
+   - `true` → it's a PR. Invoke `gitea-prs` for full PR detail (status, diff, reviews as appropriate to the request) and present that instead.
+   - `false` or absent → it's an issue. Present the issue detail already retrieved.
+3. If the resolution call 404s, don't conclude the number doesn't exist — report the 404 and suggest verifying token scope (`write:issue`) per `gitea-issues`' Gotchas, since permission errors are hidden as not-found in Gitea.
+
+Never dispatch to `gitea-issues` or `gitea-prs` based on guessing from phrasing alone ("that sounds like a bug" is not evidence) — always resolve first.
+
+## Step 3 — Route explicit but domain-unclear requests
+
+For requests that name a capability but not obviously which skill owns it, use this index:
+
+| Skill | Covers |
+|---|---|
+| `gitea-issues` | List/read/create/update issues, comments, search across issues and PRs. Composes `gitea-labels-milestones` for label/milestone resolution. |
+| `gitea-labels-milestones` | Label and milestone CRUD, label inference from conversation context, resolving names/titles to the numeric IDs writes require. Cross-cutting — used by both `gitea-issues` and `gitea-prs`. |
+| `gitea-prs` | List/read/create/update/merge PRs, code reviews. Composes `gitea-labels-milestones` the same way `gitea-issues` does. |
+| `gitea-branches` | Branch list/create/delete, plus commit history (list commits, get a single commit by SHA). |
+| `gitea-files` | Read/write/delete individual files, list a directory, walk the full repo tree. |
+| `gitea-releases` | Release and tag CRUD — draft/prerelease flags, release notes, semver tags. |
+
+If a request clearly names one of these (e.g. "create a milestone" → `gitea-labels-milestones`, "read this file from the repo" → `gitea-files`), invoke that skill directly rather than routing through here. Use this table only when the user or an upstream agent is unsure which skill applies.
+
+## Step 4 — Report
+
+Present results in plain language. For the status view, two labeled sections. For a resolved ambiguous number, say which domain it turned out to be before showing detail ("That's a pull request:" / "That's an issue:"). For routing, name the skill and hand off — don't duplicate its output format, let it report.

+- **URL:** https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-mcp
+- **Description:** Official gitea-mcp repository (v1.3.0) — `operation/*.go` source files documenting all 55 MCP tools. This skill's status view relies on `list_issues`/`list_pull_requests` semantics (via `gitea-issues`/`gitea-prs`), and its ambiguous-number resolution relies on `issue_read`'s `is_pull` field, both verified against this source at authoring time.

+- **Description:** Slim response shape structs from gitea-mcp source — confirms `is_pull` is present on a single-item `issue_read` response, the field this skill's resolution step depends on to distinguish an issue from a PR sharing the same number.

+- **Description:** Official Gitea docs mirror on Context7 — confirms issues and pull requests share a single per-repository number sequence, and that Gitea returns 404 for permission failures rather than a distinct 403, both facts this skill's resolution and error-handling steps depend on.

+- **Description:** Official `tea` CLI docs on Context7 — practitioner conventions for issues, PRs, and releases. Consulted as part of the shared research pass but its content is domain-specific (PR/release workflow patterns), out of scope for pure status/routing behavior — no content from it was used in this skill.
