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-issues
Read and write Gitea issues — list, get, create, comment, close, and search — via the Gitea MCP server.
What it does
This skill handles the issue lifecycle (list_issues, issue_read, issue_write, search_issues):
listing repo issues, reading a single issue's details/comments/labels, creating an issue, updating
its state, adding/editing comments, applying labels, and searching issues/PRs across repositories.
The create flow closes out four enrichments deferred from issue #6 comment #848: label inference
and milestone assignment (both by composing gitea-labels-milestones), an assignee workaround for
the blocked get_me scope, and the "Depends on #N" dependency-linking convention. It supersedes the
issue/issue <N>/issue close <N>/issue comment <N> dispatch this plugin's old single flat
Gitea skill carried, retired when the plugin was split into per-domain deep modules.
Before you start
Requires a Gitea MCP server configured with a token holding write:issue + write:repository.
Requires a git remote named origin pointing at the Gitea instance, unless an orchestrating caller
(e.g. gitea-workflow) already resolved owner/repo for you.
How it composes
This skill composes gitea-labels-milestones for all label inference, label-name-to-ID
resolution, and milestone lookup, rather than duplicating that taxonomy or its resolution logic —
see references/enrichments.md for the call protocol. Managing the label and milestone definitions
themselves (create/edit/delete a label, create/close a milestone) is out of scope here and goes to
gitea-labels-milestones directly.
One boundary the description does not spend characters on, because it was never going to win an
issue request: local git branch or commit work belongs to gitea-branches (Gitea-side) or
git-branches (working copy).
Usage
/gitea-issues
Describe your task: list issues, create one, get/comment/close/label a specific issue number, or
search across repos. See SKILL.md's dispatch table for the full set of recognized invocations.
