Defame1297 8680adf4c0 fix(gitea): make gitea-releases executable and correct misleading domain claims
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-labels-milestones Use when reading or writing Gitea labels or milestones — resolve names to IDs, or infer labels — even when the user does not say "Gitea". Not applying them to an issue -> `gitea-issues`. Not to a PR -> `gitea-prs`. Requires Gitea MCP server configured with write:issue and write:repository token scopes.

Gotchas

  • Applying a label takes a numeric ID, but issue/PR responses slim labels down to name strings. An issue's existing labels yield no IDs — resolve name → ID with label_read.
  • pull_request_read returns milestone as a bare title string where issue_read returns {id, title} — recover the milestone's ID by listing milestones and matching the title.
  • Never assume a Kind/*/Priority/*/Status/* scope is exclusive — read each label's own exclusive field. list_repo_labels returns it on every repo label, so it is always readable per label; label_write documents it as "(org only)" because it is only settable through the org create methods. Where it is true Gitea enforces one-per-scope itself, and replacing rather than stacking on a label whose exclusive is false destroys a valid label.

Step 1 — Resolve owner, repo and org

Before any tool call, extract owner and repo from the git remote (skip this if an orchestrating caller already passed them in):

git remote get-url origin

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."

The *_org_label* methods take org, not owner/repo. Pass that same owner as org — it is the org name whenever the owner is an organisation, and the remote URL does not say whether it is one.

Read the failure text before interpreting it. list_org_labels needs the read:organization token scope, which this skill's declared scopes (write:issue, write:repository) do not carry, so it fails with token does not have at least one of required scope(s), required=[read:organization] before it ever determines org-vs-user. Report that: the org pool went unchecked, not empty. Only a not-found response is evidence the owner is a user account with no org pool.

Step 2 — Dispatch

Task Tool method
Resolve a label name to its ID label_read "list_repo_labels", then "list_org_labels"
List repo labels label_read "list_repo_labels"
Get one repo label by ID label_read "get_repo_label"
List org labels label_read "list_org_labels"
Create a repo/org label label_write "create_repo_label" / "create_org_label"
Edit a repo/org label label_write "edit_repo_label" / "edit_org_label"
Delete a repo/org label label_write "delete_repo_label" / "delete_org_label"
List milestones milestone_read "list"
Get one milestone by ID milestone_read "get"
Create a milestone milestone_write "create"
Update / close a milestone milestone_write "update"
Delete a milestone milestone_write "delete"

Every list method paginates manually — per_page defaults to 30, so iterate page: 1, 2, ... until a page returns fewer results than per_page. A truncated list silently breaks name → ID resolution.

If the task is a label operation, read references/labels.md; if a milestone operation, read references/milestones.md. If the label to apply has to be derived from conversation context rather than named, read references/label-inference.md.
