Claude Code AI - Gitea MCP 598a7c326a refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129)
Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

Label operations

Execution detail for label_read and label_write. Both tools operate on either repo-scoped or org-scoped labels — never both in one call. Pick the method family (*_repo_label* vs. *_org_label*) that matches the target, and pass owner+repo or org accordingly.

Verified live schemas

label_read — required: method.

Param Type Notes
method string (enum) "list_repo_labels" | "get_repo_label" | "list_org_labels"
owner string for repo methods
repo string for repo methods
org string for org methods
id number label ID, required for "get_repo_label"
page number default 1
per_page number default 30

label_write — required: method.

Param Type Notes
method string (enum) "create_repo_label" | "edit_repo_label" | "delete_repo_label" | "create_org_label" | "edit_org_label" | "delete_org_label"
owner string for repo methods
repo string for repo methods
org string for org methods
id number for edit/delete
name string required for create
color string hex #RRGGBB, required for create
description string optional
exclusive boolean accepted as a write param on org creates only — repo labels still carry and enforce exclusive, set outside this tool surface
is_archived boolean repo labels only

Note: unlike milestone_read/milestone_write, owner/repo/org are not schema-required on either label tool — only method is. Passing none for a repo/org method still fails, just as a runtime error from Gitea rather than a client-side validation error.

List repo labels

label_read  method: "list_repo_labels"  owner: <owner>  repo: <repo>  per_page: 50

Paginate (page: 1, 2, ...) until the returned count is less than per_page. This is the only way to build a complete name → ID map — there is no lookup-by-name endpoint.

Every returned repo label carries its own exclusive boolean, so exclusivity is always readable per repo label. That does not contradict label_write's schema, which annotates exclusive as "(org only)": reading and setting are different questions, and only the setting half is org-scoped (see "Create a label" below). Where the field is true Gitea enforces one-label-per-scope server-side; where it is false labels in that scope stack legitimately. Read the field — never infer exclusivity from the / in a name, and never carry another repo's map over.

On the instance this skill was authored against (Defame1297/holocron) the split ran: every Priority/*, Reviewed/* and Status/* label exclusive: true, every Kind/* label and Compat/Breaking exclusive: false. That is one repo's configuration at one point in time, recorded as a worked example of what the field looks like in practice — it is not a property of the taxonomy and says nothing about the repo you are called against.

Get one label

label_read  method: "get_repo_label"  owner: <owner>  repo: <repo>  id: <id>

Resolve a name to an ID

The tool surface carries no lookup-by-name method. List all repo labels (paginating if needed), scan for a case-insensitive name match, and extract id. Both pools can apply to one issue: if the name is not in list_repo_labels, also check list_org_labels before reporting it unresolved. That method takes org, not owner/repo — pass the repo's owner as org, which is what it means when the owner is an organisation. Its failure modes are not interchangeable. token does not have at least one of required scope(s), required=[read:organization] means the org pool was never queried — report that missing scope rather than reporting the label unresolved. Only a not-found response means the owner is a user account with no org pool, making the miss a real miss.

Resolution is the required first step before any label application on an issue or PR — the actual add_labels/replace_labels/remove_label call lives in gitea-issues/gitea-prs via issue_write/pull_request_write, which take numeric IDs only.

Create a label

label_write  method: "create_repo_label"
  owner: <owner>  repo: <repo>
  name: "Kind/Bug"
  color: "#d73a4a"
  description: "Confirmed bug"

For an org label, use method: "create_org_label" with org: instead of owner/repo, and exclusive: true if the label belongs to a mutually-exclusive scope group. label_write accepts exclusive on org methods only, so a repo label's exclusivity cannot be set or cleared through this tool — it is set in the Gitea UI or against the REST API directly, and read back via list_repo_labels.

Edit a label

label_write  method: "edit_repo_label"  owner: <owner>  repo: <repo>  id: <id>  color: "#ff0000"

Only pass the fields being changed — id plus any of name/color/description/is_archived.

Delete a label

label_write  method: "delete_repo_label"  owner: <owner>  repo: <repo>  id: <id>

Deleting a label does not remove it from historical issue/PR timeline events — it disappears only from current label lists.
