Description 835 -> 214 chars, body 669 -> 426 words, Gotchas 8 entries/63% of body -> 3/20.4%. Clears the description FAIL, all three Vale CompositionNote errors and both Gotchas suggestions. 63% was the worst Gotchas ratio in the corpus. Cut the composition sentence to README -- it changes no routing decision and an agent picks this skill because the user asked about labels, not because two other skills call it. Cut the capability enumeration; 'list, create, edit, delete' decompose 'reading or writing' and add no trigger. Boundary clauses are now one arrow per target. The resolver extracts only the first name per arrow clause, so the previous '-> gitea-issues / gitea-prs' left gitea-prs neither dangling nor checked while validate.sh reported 1 of 1. Now 2 of 2. Makes org-scoped label resolution executable. The org label pool was reachable in principle -- four *_org_label* methods, and a claim to own name-to-ID resolution -- but list_org_labels takes org, and Step 1 derived only owner and repo, so both resolution procedures stalled at the fallback. Fixed once at the identity step rather than per-procedure. get_user_orgs is outside allowed-tools, so the failing call is the discriminator: a failure means the owner is a user account with no org pool, which is an answer, not an error. Corrects a Gotcha that was false for create_repo_label/create_org_label and collided with the literal tool name label_write. Same false claim removed from README. Refs #99

# 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 | org labels only |
|
|
| `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.
|
|
|
|
## Get one label
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
label_read method: "get_repo_label" owner: <owner> repo: <repo> id: <id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Resolve a name to an ID
|
|
|
|
There is no direct name lookup. 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. If that call fails, the owner is a user account, there is no org pool, and
|
|
the miss is 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
