gitea-files' always-loaded Gotchas said "content is base64 both ways" without qualification. The `main` text carried an exception for `withLines: true` and both halves were dropped. Verified live: `get_file_contents` with `withLines: true` returns plain JSON text while the same response still reports `"encoding":"base64"`. An agent that follows the recommendation two sentences later and applies the unconditional decode gets garbage, with the response's own field confirming the wrong answer. Exception restored, and the lying field named. gitea-orchestrate was never updated for `rename_branch`: absent from the operation enum, so an agent caller got "unknown operation", and absent from the destructive-confirm list, though branches.md requires a rename with open PRs or a protection rule to be confirmed exactly as `delete_branch` is. Added to both — the confirm gate rather than the enum alone, because accepting the operation without it routes around a rule the skill states while appearing to support it. The compatibility frontmatter, which the agent reads, still omitted the tool too. Two more always-loaded Gotchas contradicted their own reference files, and the Gotcha was wrong both times: issues and PRs are distinguishable on a list item by the `html_url` path segment (confirmed live — #129 at /pulls/, #128 at /issues/), and `get_repository_tree` takes `tree_sha`, not `ref`. `review_comments` was asserted as unconditionally present on the PR get response. It is absent on a PR with no review comments, so the claim is downgraded to present-when-non-zero rather than stated as response shape. The label-exclusivity relocation moved the rule out of label-inference.md and into labels.md without updating sources.md, leaving the one rule in this branch that writes differently to live repos citing a file that no longer carries it. The rule itself is correct as it stands and `main` was wrong — every Kind/* label on this instance is exclusive:false, every Priority/* and Status/* is true — so only the provenance record is corrected. Routing: gitea-workflow lost the human-caller discriminator and widened from status checks to any request, which sent "close #42" to a branch that resolves the number and presents detail without ever closing it. gitea-branches and gitea-issues regain trigger phrasings the retrofit dropped. Refs: #92
gitea-files
Read and write individual files and directory/repository trees in a Gitea repository via the Gitea MCP server.
What it does
This skill handles file-domain operations within the Gitea integration suite: reading a single file's contents, listing one directory level, walking a full repository tree (optionally recursive), creating or updating a file, and deleting a file. It owns the SHA-based optimistic-concurrency pattern that Gitea requires for file writes — the domain's sharpest gotcha — and defers branch creation, commit history, and pull request mechanics to gitea-branches and gitea-prs.
Usage
/gitea-files
Describe the file task: read a file or directory, walk a tree, create/update a file, or delete a file. Provide owner/repo/branch (or ask the user if not given) — this skill does not resolve them from a git remote itself.
