references/commits.md cited overview.md as the authority for a scope-gating claim, but no such file exists in this skill's package — the only overview.md is an external research doc not shipped with the skill. Repoint to branches.md's own Token scope section, which states and confirms the same principle, and drop the unverifiable write:repository enumeration detail no file in this skill actually makes. Found by an independent post-closure audit of #99 (agent-audit + skill-audit re-run against every changed skill/agent).
gitea-branches
Manage Gitea repository branches and inspect commit history via the Gitea MCP server.
What it does
This skill handles branch lifecycle operations (list, create, delete) and read-only commit
history (list commits, get a single commit's full detail) against a Gitea repository. It resolves
owner/repo from the git remote, dispatches to the right MCP tool, and applies safety and
pagination conventions specific to Gitea's API (e.g. refusing to delete a protected branch without
explicit confirmation, and treating unexpected 404s as possible masked 403s).
Boundaries
This skill operates on the Gitea server via the MCP tools, never on your local checkout. Branch
and commit-history work against the working copy belongs to git-branches and git-history.
Branch references that only exist relative to a pull request — a PR's head or base branch, and
cross-repo fork PR heads in particular — belong to gitea-prs; list_branches cannot see a fork's
head at all.
The skill triggers on phrasings like "list branches", "create a branch", "delete a branch", "what commits are on this branch", "show commit ", and "what changed in that commit", even when the user does not say "Gitea", as long as the repo's remote is a Gitea instance.
Before you start
Requires a Gitea MCP server configured with a token that has write:repository scope. This is
confirmed for list_branches, create_branch, and delete_branch (Gitea gates reads behind write
scope for repo-scoped operations); list_commits and get_commit are inferred to need the same
scope by analogy, not explicitly confirmed — see references/commits.md. Requires a git remote
named origin pointing at the Gitea instance.
Usage
/gitea-branches
Describe your task: list/create/delete a branch, or list/inspect commits. See SKILL.md's
