Defame1297 38f1ba4e03 fix(kyberforge): bridge apm content to Claude Code's flat plugin discovery
Claude Code's (and Copilot's) native plugin installer has zero awareness of
.apm/ nesting -- it convention-scans only flat skills/, agents/, commands/,
hooks.json at each plugin's root. Confirmed via strings on the installed
claude binary and live installs of git@holocron/gitea@holocron/kyberforge@
holocron, all reporting Skills(0) Agents(0) Hooks(0) post ADR-0015's apm
conversion. Root cause (apm_cli/core/plugin_manifest.py): apm's plugin.json
compiler deliberately strips skills/agents/commands keys, assuming the host
already auto-discovers those convention directories -- it has no model of
.apm/ being host-visible at all. Separately, apm's own bundle exporter
(apm_cli/bundle/plugin_exporter.py, behind `apm pack --format plugin`)
implements the correct .apm/ -> flat mapping, but only ever targeted
build/<name>-<version>/, a path nothing in marketplace.json's source: points
at.

scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh wraps that bundle exporter and copies its
agents/, skills/, commands/, instructions/, extensions/, and merged
hooks.json back into each plugin's own root as a second tracked
compiled-output category -- same governance status as
.claude-plugin/plugin.json: generated from .apm/, never hand-edited. tests/
subdirectories are excluded from the mirror (dev fixtures, not host-visible
runtime content; several hardcode a relative repo-root walk-up sized for the
.apm/-nested depth, which breaks when duplicated one level shallower).
Applied for real across all 6 plugins and verified two ways: `claude plugin
validate --strict` passes on every real plugin directory, and a live
`claude --plugin-dir <path> -p "list skills/agents"` behavioral test
confirms content is now actually discovered.

Also, from the same issue #90 review round:
- scripts/check-manifests.sh pointed at each plugin's root-level plugin.json
  (checking skills/hooks/mcpServers/agents pointer fields) -- that file was a
  stale near-duplicate of .claude-plugin/plugin.json nothing else read or
  wrote, now deleted across all 6 plugins. check-manifests.sh is rewritten to
  validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json instead, and drops the pointer-field
  checks entirely (nothing to check -- those fields are correctly absent by
  design). Content-presence drift is now check-plugin-content-sync's job, a
  new pre-push hook wired in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

docs/adr/0017 records the root cause and decision in full, including two
rejected alternatives (patching plugin.json's path fields directly -- apm's
compiler strips them on every run; pointing marketplace.json at apm pack's
build/ output -- a version-suffixed non-source directory nothing can install
from without an extra build step). ADR-0015 and CONTEXT.md are updated to
point at it.

gitea-releases Use when managing Gitea releases and tags for a repository: listing, creating, or deleting releases (with draft/prerelease flags and release notes), and listing, creating, or deleting the underlying git tags. Use even if the user doesn't say "release" explicitly — "cut a v1.2.0", "publish a prerelease", "tag this commit", or "what's the latest release" all apply. Do not use for git branch or commit history operations (use gitea-branches) or for issue/PR management (use gitea-issues / gitea-prs).

Gotchas

  • delete_release takes a numeric id, never a tag name. delete_tag is the mirror opposite — it takes the tag_name string, never a numeric id. These two tools are asymmetric on purpose; passing a tag name to delete_release or a numeric id to delete_tag fails. Always resolve the numeric release id via list_releases or get_release first if you only have a tag name in hand.
  • Deleting a release does not delete its tag. They are separate destructive operations against separate resources — a release is a wrapper (title, notes, draft/prerelease flags, assets) around a tag, not the tag itself. If the intent is to remove both, call delete_release and delete_tag separately.
  • list_releases/list_tags default to per_page: 20, unlike most other gitea-mcp tools which default to 30. The MCP layer does no auto-pagination — to get a complete result set, loop page upward until a page returns fewer than per_page results.
  • is_draft/is_pre_release are explicit booleans the caller sets on create_release — never inferred from tag_name. Note the input param is is_draft, which maps to the draft field on the response object (see Dispatch table below and references/call-signatures.md) — draft is never a valid input key. Practitioner convention (per the tea CLI) uses -beta/-rc suffixes for prereleases (e.g. v2.0.0-beta.1), but Gitea does not enforce or infer this from the tag string. If the user names a tag that looks like a prerelease, set is_pre_release: true explicitly rather than assuming the flag is redundant with the name.
  • Tag names are conventionally semver, v-prefixed (v1.2.0, v2.0.0-beta.1), but this is a practitioner convention, not a Gitea constraint — don't reject or rewrite a caller-supplied tag name that doesn't follow it.

Dispatch table

Action Tool Required params Optional params
List releases list_releases owner, repo is_draft, is_pre_release, page (default 1), per_page (default 20)
Get one release get_release owner, repo, id (number) —
Get latest release get_latest_release owner, repo —
Create release create_release owner, repo, tag_name, target, title body, is_draft, is_pre_release
Delete release delete_release owner, repo, id (number) —
List tags list_tags owner, repo page (default 1), per_page (default 20)
Get one tag get_tag owner, repo, tag_name —
Create tag create_tag owner, repo, tag_name target, message
Delete tag delete_tag owner, repo, tag_name —

target (on create_release/create_tag) is a commitish — a branch name, existing tag, or commit SHA — the point the new tag is cut from. See references/call-signatures.md for response shapes.

Workflow

  • Creating a release: Call create_release directly with tag_name + target + title — Gitea is assumed to create the underlying tag automatically if tag_name doesn't already exist (this is plausible behavior inferred from the API shape, not directly confirmed in the research docs), so a separate create_tag call is only needed when you want to tag a commit without wrapping it in a release yet. Verify the tag exists afterward if this matters to the caller. Set is_pre_release/is_draft explicitly per the Gotchas above; don't leave them to default inference.
  • Deleting a release safely: Resolve the numeric id first — call list_releases (paginate if needed, see Gotchas) or get_release if the id is already known, find the entry matching the target tag_name, then call delete_release with that id. Never pass tag_name to delete_release.
  • Deleting a tag along with its release: Delete the release first (frees the id lookup), then call delete_tag with the tag_name separately — confirm both are intended before proceeding, since each is an independent irreversible operation.
  • Listing every page: If the caller needs all releases or tags (not just the first page), loop page: 1, 2, 3... until a response has fewer than per_page entries.

If exact response field shapes or additional conventions are needed, read references/call-signatures.md and references/conventions.md.
