gitea-releases was the weakest skill in the plugin: no allowed-tools, no owner/repo resolution, and a checkbox list where a dispatch table belongs, so an agent reaching it had to guess both its permissions and its inputs. The id-vs-tag_name trap — deleting by tag name where the API wants the numeric id — is restored as an explicit Gotcha because it destroys the wrong release silently. Elsewhere the `exclusive` flag was documented on the wrong side of the read/write split, and label data from one instance was presented as though it were universal, which invites an agent to assume a taxonomy that does not exist on the target repo. rename_branch was missing from the branch surface. Reference prose and fences are cleaned up in passing.

| gitea-branches | Use when listing, creating, renaming, or deleting branches in a Gitea repository, or reading its commit history — even when the user does not say "Gitea". Not a local checkout's branches -> `git-branches`. Not local history -> `git-history`. Not a PR's head or base -> `gitea-prs`. | Requires Gitea MCP server configured with a token with write:repository scope; this is confirmed to gate list_branches, create_branch, and delete_branch (Gitea gates reads behind write scope for repo-scoped operations), and is inferred by analogy (not explicitly confirmed by source docs) to also gate list_commits and get_commit. Requires git remote "origin" pointing to the Gitea instance. |

Gotchas
- 404 often means 403. Gitea masks permission errors as not-found; on an unexpected one, check token scope before reporting a branch or commit missing.
- Nothing auto-paginates.
list_branchesandlist_commitsreturn one page; iteratepageuntil the returned count is belowper_page. delete_branchhas no force-push guard. Checkprotectedfromlist_branchesfirst and require explicit confirmation — a protected branch need not be namedmain.
Step 1 — Resolve owner and repo
Before any tool call, extract owner and repo from the git remote:
git remote get-url origin
get_me and list_my_repos are blocked under the token scope this skill assumes, so the remote is the only source. If origin is not set or the URL is not a Gitea URL, stop and report: "No Gitea remote found — set origin to your Gitea instance URL."
Step 2 — Dispatch
| Invocation | Action |
|---|---|
/gitea-branches or /gitea-branches list |
List branches |
/gitea-branches create <name> [from <base>] |
Create branch |
/gitea-branches rename <name> to <new-name> |
Rename branch |
/gitea-branches delete <name> |
Delete branch |
/gitea-branches commits [on <branch>] [touching <path>] |
List commit history |
/gitea-branches commit <sha> |
Get full detail for one commit |
For branch operations (list/create/rename/delete), read references/branches.md — it carries the call signatures, the old_branch source rule, and the protected-branch refusal in full.
For commit operations (list/get), read references/commits.md.
Step 3 — Report
For reads: display branches as name + protected flag; display commits as SHA (short), message summary, author, date.
For writes (create/rename/delete): confirm the action taken, the branch name, and (for create) the base it forked from or (for rename) the name it had before.
For errors: surface the HTTP code and message, applying the 404 gotcha above before reporting "not found" to the user.
