An independent audit of the ADR-0020 retrofit (issue #99) found that git-submodules, git-worktrees, and gitea-files each collapsed their description length correctly during retrofit but left the capability clause as a verb enumeration (e.g. "Create, list, lock, move, remove, prune, or repair") instead of ADR-0020's required single clause. The deterministic char-count gate can't catch this — it's a qualitative rubric violation the retrofit commits' own messages never claimed to address, only measurable length/word-count fixes. Validated clean via skill-audit and skill-size-check after the fix; boundary clauses and routing targets left untouched. Refs #99

Use when reading or writing files or directories in a Gitea repository via the MCP server,
|
|
rather than the local filesystem — even when the user does not say "Gitea". Not commit
|
|
history -> `gitea-branches`. Not pull requests -> `gitea-prs`.
|
|
|
|
compatibility: Requires the Gitea MCP server configured with a token scoped to at least
|
|
write:repository. Tested with a token holding write:issue + write:repository; write:issue
|
|
is not actually required for any of this domain's five tools.

## Gotchas
|
|
|
|
- **A 404 may mean an under-scoped token, not a missing path.** Every tool here gates on `write:repository`, and Gitea masks insufficient scope as 404. Check scopes first.
|
|
- **Reads take `ref`, writes take `branch_name`.** One concept, two parameter names — chaining a read into a write drops the branch if you carry the wrong key.
|
|
- **`content` is base64 both ways.** Encode before a write, decode after a read; `withLines: true` returns numbered lines.
|
|
|
|
## Inputs
|
|
|
|
`owner`, `repo` and the target branch are caller-supplied. This skill never infers them from a git remote: ask the human when they are not stated, and expect an orchestrating caller to have resolved them already.
|
|
|
|
## Dispatch
|
|
|
|
| Condition | Flow | Reference |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Read one file, list one directory level, or walk the repository tree | Read | `references/reading.md` |
|
|
| Create, update, or delete a file | Write | `references/writing.md` |
|
|
|
|
If the request only inspects repository contents, read `references/reading.md` — it carries the three read tools, their pagination behaviour, and why neither a directory listing nor a tree entry supplies the SHA a write needs.
|
|
|
|
If the request creates, updates or deletes a file, read `references/writing.md` — it carries the SHA-first sequence every update and delete depends on, the worked multi-call sequence, and how to triage a write that fails.
|
|
|
|
A request that reads and then writes runs both flows in that order: fetch the file first, then write with the SHA that call returned.
|
|
|
|
## Handoff
|
|
|
|
Scope ends at the commit. Gitea's own web UI edits files directly against a branch, so committing straight to a branch is the normal path rather than an escape hatch — hand off to `gitea-prs` when the change needs review before merging or the target branch is protected, not by default.
