# gitea-issues

Read and write Gitea issues — list, get, create, comment, close, and search — via the Gitea MCP server.

## What it does

This skill handles the issue lifecycle (`list_issues`, `issue_read`, `issue_write`, `search_issues`):
listing repo issues, reading a single issue's details/comments/labels, creating an issue, updating
its state, adding/editing comments, applying labels, and searching issues/PRs across repositories.
The create flow closes out four enrichments deferred from issue #6 comment #848: label inference
and milestone assignment (both by composing `gitea-labels-milestones`), an assignee workaround for
the blocked `get_me` scope, and the "Depends on #N" dependency-linking convention. It supersedes the
`issue`/`issue <N>`/`issue close <N>`/`issue comment <N>` dispatch in the old flat
`plugins/bin/skills/gitea/SKILL.md`, removed per
`docs/adr/0011-gitea-skill-deep-modules.md`.

## Before you start

Requires a Gitea MCP server configured with a token holding `write:issue` + `write:repository`.
Requires a git remote named `origin` pointing at the Gitea instance, unless an orchestrating caller
(e.g. `gitea-workflow`) already resolved `owner`/`repo` for you.

## How it composes

This skill composes `gitea-labels-milestones` for *all* label inference, label-name-to-ID
resolution, and milestone lookup, rather than duplicating that taxonomy or its resolution logic —
see `references/enrichments.md` for the call protocol. Managing the label and milestone definitions
themselves (create/edit/delete a label, create/close a milestone) is out of scope here and goes to
`gitea-labels-milestones` directly.

One boundary the description does not spend characters on, because it was never going to win an
issue request: local git branch or commit work belongs to `gitea-branches` (Gitea-side) or
`git-branches` (working copy).

## Usage

```
/gitea-issues
```

Describe your task: list issues, create one, get/comment/close/label a specific issue number, or
search across repos. See `SKILL.md`'s dispatch table for the full set of recognized invocations.
