Defame1297 bbc73008a3 chore(gitea): regenerate the flat content mirror after the ADR-0020 retrofit
Generated output, not authored content: scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all.
Claude Code has no .apm/ awareness, so this compiled mirror must track .apm/ or
the check-plugin-content-sync pre-push hook reports drift.

Deferred to a single commit at the end of the wave on purpose. sync_dir runs
rm -rf before every copy, so running it while seven agents were editing the
same plugin would have raced them; agents were told not to sync for that reason.

# gitea-branches
Manage Gitea repository branches and inspect commit history via the Gitea MCP server.
## What it does
This skill handles branch lifecycle operations (list, create, delete) and read-only commit
history (list commits, get a single commit's full detail) against a Gitea repository. It resolves
`owner`/`repo` from the git remote, dispatches to the right MCP tool, and applies safety and
pagination conventions specific to Gitea's API (e.g. refusing to delete a protected branch without
explicit confirmation, and treating unexpected 404s as possible masked 403s).
## Boundaries
This skill operates on the Gitea server via the MCP tools, never on your local checkout. Branch
and commit-history work against the working copy belongs to `git-branches` and `git-history`.
Branch references that only exist relative to a pull request — a PR's head or base branch, and
cross-repo fork PR heads in particular — belong to `gitea-prs`; `list_branches` cannot see a fork's
head at all.
The skill triggers on phrasings like "list branches", "create a branch", "delete a branch",
"what commits are on this branch", "show commit <sha>", and "what changed in that commit", even
when the user does not say "Gitea", as long as the repo's remote is a Gitea instance.
## Before you start
Requires a Gitea MCP server configured with a token that has `write:repository` scope. This is
confirmed for `list_branches`, `create_branch`, and `delete_branch` (Gitea gates reads behind write
scope for repo-scoped operations); `list_commits` and `get_commit` are inferred to need the same
scope by analogy, not explicitly confirmed — see `references/commits.md`. Requires a git remote
named `origin` pointing at the Gitea instance.
## Usage
```
/gitea-branches
```
Describe your task: list/create/delete a branch, or list/inspect commits. See `SKILL.md`'s
dispatch table for the full set of recognized invocations.
