Defame1297 e361498311 feat(gitea): add gitea-issues skill
Covers list_issues, issue_read, issue_write, and search_issues, closing out
all four enrichments deferred from issue #6 comment #848: label inference
(delegated to gitea-labels-milestones), milestone assignment on create,
an assignee workaround for the blocked get_me/read:user scope, and the
"Depends on #N" dependency-linking convention validated by Gitea's
automatic cross-reference rendering.

Call signatures were re-verified live via ToolSearch against the deployed
gitea-mcp server rather than copied from api-reference.md, per ADR 0011 --
this caught that list_issues has no `type` or `milestones` parameter on the
live schema, despite the research doc documenting both (the exact drift
that caused issue #6 comment #849).

Issue operations

Call signatures below were verified live against the deployed gitea-mcp server via ToolSearch at authoring time, not copied from api-reference.md — this is deliberate: research docs are generated from source at a point in time and can drift from the server actually deployed (see the list_issues gotcha below, which is the exact drift this policy exists to catch). Re-verify against the live schema if these tools appear to behave differently than documented here.

list_issues

Parameters (live schema):

  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • state (string, optional, default "all") — conventional values "open"/"closed"/"all", not schema-enforced as an enum
  • labels (array of strings, optional) — filter by label name (not ID)
  • since (string, optional) — ISO 8601, issues updated after this time
  • before (string, optional) — ISO 8601, issues updated before this time
  • page (number, optional, default 1)
  • per_page (number, optional, default 30)

There is no type parameter and no milestones parameter, despite both appearing in api-reference.md. This tool cannot filter issues-vs-PRs or by milestone — see the Gotchas section of SKILL.md for the consequence (PR entries can appear in results with no way to exclude them here).

Call:

list_issues owner: <owner> repo: <repo> state: "open"

Response (list item): number, title, state, html_url, user, comments, created_at, updated_at, and optionally labels ([]string), milestone ({id, title}), ref, deadline. Body and closed_at are omitted from list responses — call issue_read method: "get" for those.

Paginate with page/per_page until the returned count is less than per_page.

issue_read

Parameters (live schema, matches api-reference.md):

  • method (string, required, enum) — "get" | "get_comments" | "get_labels"
  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • issue_number (number, required)

get — full issue: number, title, body, state, html_url, user, labels ([]string), comments, created_at, updated_at, closed_at, and optionally assignees ([]string), milestone ({id, title}), ref, deadline, is_pull (present only when this number is backed by a pull request — absent, not false, on true issues).

get_comments — array of {id, body, user, html_url, created_at, updated_at}.

get_labels — array of full label objects (id, name, color, description — not slimmed to name strings, unlike the labels array on get).

Call:

issue_read method: "get" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N>

Always check is_pull before treating a number as a plain issue — see the shared number-space gotcha in SKILL.md.

issue_write

Parameters (live schema, matches api-reference.md):

  • method (string, required, enum) — "create" | "update" | "add_comment" | "edit_comment" | "add_labels" | "remove_label" | "replace_labels" | "clear_labels"
  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • issue_number (number, required for every method except "create")
  • title (string, required for "create")
  • body (string, required for "create", "add_comment", "edit_comment")
  • assignees (array of strings, optional) — login names (see references/enrichments.md for why this is usually omitted)
  • milestone (number, optional) — milestone ID, never a title
  • state (string, enum "open"/"closed"/"all", optional) — for "update"
  • commentID (number, optional, required for "edit_comment")
  • labels (array of numbers, optional) — label IDs, never names — for add_labels/replace_labels
  • label_id (number, optional, required for "remove_label") — singular, not the array form
  • ref (string, optional) — branch association, informational only
  • deadline (string, optional) — ISO 8601
  • remove_deadline (boolean, optional)

Create:

issue_write method: "create"
  owner: <owner> repo: <repo>
  title: <title> body: <body>
  labels: [<resolved IDs>]        ← omit if none confidently inferred
  milestone: <resolved ID>        ← omit if none clearly fits
  assignees: ["<login>"]          ← omit if no default configured

Close:

issue_write method: "update" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N> state: "closed"

There is no method: "close" — using one will error.

Comment:

issue_write method: "add_comment" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N> body: <text>

Apply resolved label IDs directly (bypassing references/enrichments.md's inference step, e.g. when the caller already named exact labels):

issue_write method: "add_labels" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> issue_number: <N> labels: [<IDs>]

To replace all labels atomically instead of adding: method: "replace_labels". To remove one: method: "remove_label" label_id: <single ID>.

Token scope

All of list_issues, issue_read, and issue_write are verified working under a token holding write:issue + write:repository.
