Defame1297 1a971ee003 fix(gitea): restore routing and sourcing content the retrofit dropped
gitea-issues asserted flatly that a merge never closes an issue, contradicting
gitea-prs' references/merging.md, which documents that closing keywords in
commits landing on the default branch do close one. The qualifier that made the
claim true had been deleted; both sides now agree.

gitea-releases had lost an epistemic hedge and its verification step, leaving
conventions.md asserting unconfirmed tag auto-creation as fact. Nothing in the
research corpus sources it, so the hedge and the verify-afterward instruction are
back rather than upgraded.

Descriptions were cut 50-240 chars under the 400 budget and shed routing with
them: gitea-workflow's boundary named no target, gitea-prs lost the issue/PR
number-space directive the suite is built around at 163/400, gitea-releases lost
its boundary and every trigger. Restored, inside budget. Also restores
delete_branch's hard-refusal strength and gitea-files' Read/Write/Edit pointer.

gitea-files Use when reading or writing files or directories in a Gitea repository via the MCP server, rather than the local filesystem (for a local path use Read/Write/Edit) — even when the user does not say "Gitea". Not commit history -> `gitea-branches`. Not pull requests -> `gitea-prs`. 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.

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

Read the reference for the row you land on before making the call.

Condition Flow Reference
Read one file, list one directory level, or walk the repository tree Read references/reading.md — the three read tools, their pagination behaviour, and why neither a directory listing nor a tree entry supplies the SHA a write needs
Create, update, or delete a file Write references/writing.md — 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.
