The #113 sweep rested on CLAUDE.md's premise that rtk either filters or passes through unchanged, so prefixing is always safe. Measured against rtk 0.42.4, that premise is false for several of the commands the sweep prefixed, and two skills were left giving wrong answers silently. Why: - `rtk git worktree list --porcelain -z` discards both flags and renders its own format. The `locked`/`lock_reason` fields git-worktrees Step 2 must emit are absent entirely, and paths under $HOME are abbreviated to `~/`. - `rtk git branch --list <name>` prints a phantom `* ` line even when nothing matches, so git-branches' stated ambiguity test — "output from both means the name is ambiguous" — reported every name as ambiguous. `tag --list` is a clean passthrough, so only one half broke. - `rtk git diff --name-only`/`--name-status` append a `Changes:` trailer to output documented as "one per line"; `--word-diff` emits none of the `[-removed-] {+added+}` markers its table describes; `rtk git log -L` truncates each line at ~72 chars, on the one command whose purpose is showing line content. - `rtk git stash pop` prints only `FAILED: git stash pop`, swallowing the conflict diagnostic and retained-entry message the surrounding prose tells the agent to rely on. Implementation notes: - Eleven sites reverted to bare `git`, each carrying its reason inline so the next sweep does not undo it. `mergetool` and `rebase -i` are reverted on clause 3's interactive limb only: the TTY defect does not reproduce — rtk filters exactly twelve subcommands and execs the rest — and ADR-0023 records that measurement rather than a convenient one. - ADR-0023 states the rule repo-wide with a third clause: a command whose output the skill parses, or which is interactive, stays bare. `plugins/git/README.md` is reduced to a pointer; its claim that gitea skills "contain no git/rtk mentions at all" was false, and its citation of `hard-rules.md` pointed at a file containing no occurrence of "rtk". - Eight gitea sites swept, all verified byte-identical passthroughs first. - `scripts/check-rtk-prefix.sh` gates clause 1. Run against main's pre-sweep corpus it reports 99 findings including every gitea site, so it would have caught the drift #113 was filed about. Impact: the gate covers clause 1 only, in shell-tagged fences and the opening span of Run cells. Clause 2 is not gateable — "Run `git switch`" and "`git switch` refuses" are the same tokens — and prose bullets are invisible to it. Both limits are recorded in gates.md rather than left implied.

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, rename, 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", "rename a branch", "delete a branch", "what commits are on this branch", "show commit ", 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 (and inferred for
rename_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
