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.

Branch operations

Call signatures below were verified live against the deployed gitea-mcp server via ToolSearch at authoring time, not copied from research docs — this is deliberate: research docs are generated from source code at a point in time and can drift from the server actually deployed. Re-verify against the live schema if these tools appear to behave differently than documented here.

list_branches

Parameters:

  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • page (number, optional, default: 1)
  • per_page (number, optional, default: 30)

Call:

list_branches owner: <owner> repo: <repo>

Response: one object per branch: name, protected (bool), commit_sha (present when the underlying commit data is available).

Paginate if you need the full list (see Gotchas in SKILL.md) — iterate page until the returned count is less than per_page.

create_branch

Parameters:

  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • branch (string, required) — new branch name
  • old_branch (string, optional) — source branch; if omitted, defaults to the repo's default branch server-side (not necessarily your current local checkout)

Call:

create_branch owner: <owner> repo: <repo> branch: <new-name> old_branch: <source-branch>

Default dispatch: if the user gives a base ("branch off of X", "from X"), pass it as old_branch. If they don't specify a base and you're mid-task on a local branch, pass your current branch (git branch --show-current) as old_branch so the new branch forks from where you're actually working, rather than silently falling back to the repo default. If neither applies (e.g. a fresh top-level request with no working branch context), omit old_branch and let it default server-side.

A branch name collision returns 409 Conflict.

delete_branch

Parameters:

  • owner (string, required)
  • repo (string, required)
  • branch (string, required)

Call:

delete_branch owner: <owner> repo: <repo> branch: <name>

Before calling this, see the delete_branch Gotcha in SKILL.md. If the target branch's name isn't obviously a scratch/feature branch, call list_branches first and check protected on the matching entry — name-matching main/master alone isn't authoritative, since a repo can protect a differently-named default branch. Confirm explicitly with the user before deleting anything protected, every time, regardless of how the request is phrased.

Token scope

All three — list_branches, create_branch, delete_branch — require write:repository. Gitea gates reads behind write scope for repo-scoped operations, so list_branches needs the same scope as the write operations, not write:issue alone. An earlier version of this doc claimed write:issue alone was sufficient for list_branches, based on empirical testing under a token that held both write:issue and write:repository simultaneously — that test didn't isolate the variable, so it couldn't actually establish write:issue alone as sufficient.
