Defame1297 a3853f78b1 feat(gitea): add gitea-labels-milestones skill
Cross-cutting skill for label and milestone operations, composed by
gitea-issues and gitea-prs. Includes the label inference guide deferred
from issue #6 comment #848.

name: gitea-labels-milestones
description: >
Use when reading or writing Gitea labels or milestones — listing repo/org labels, creating,
editing, or deleting a label, resolving label names to the numeric IDs required for applying
them to an issue or PR, or listing, creating, updating, closing, or deleting a milestone. This is
a cross-cutting shared skill: `gitea-issues` and `gitea-prs` both compose it whenever they need to
apply labels or assign a milestone, rather than duplicating label/milestone logic. Also use for
label inference — mapping a bug report, feature request, or urgency signal in conversation
context to the repo's `Kind/*`/`Priority/*`/`Status/*` label taxonomy. Do not use for applying
already-resolved label IDs or milestone IDs to a specific issue or PR — that write goes through
`issue_write`/`pull_request_write` in `gitea-issues`/`gitea-prs`, not here.
compatibility: Requires Gitea MCP server configured with write:issue and write:repository token scopes.

## Gotchas
- **Label writes take IDs, reads return names.** `label_read` is the only tool that returns full label objects (`id`, `name`, `color`, `description`). Issue/PR responses slim labels down to name strings. Before any label is applied to an issue or PR (in `gitea-issues`/`gitea-prs`), resolve names → IDs here via `label_read method: "list_repo_labels"` — never pass a name string where an ID is expected.
- **Milestones are referenced by ID everywhere, never by title.** `milestone_write` update/delete take `id`. The one place titles show up as the sole handle is the `pull_request_read` response (see next gotcha).
- **Milestone representation differs between issues and PRs.** `issue_read` returns `milestone: {id, title}` — an object. `pull_request_read` returns `milestone: "title string"` — title only, no ID. You cannot recover a milestone ID from a PR response directly; call `milestone_read method: "list"` and match by title instead.
- **Repo labels and org labels are separate pools, never mixed in one call.** `label_read`/`label_write` take either `owner`+`repo` (repo-scoped methods) or `org` (org-scoped methods) — passing both or neither for a given method is a caller error, not something the schema enforces for you. Repo and org labels can both apply to the same issue, but you list/create/edit them through different method values.
- **`milestone_write` accepts `"update"` and `"edit"` as the same operation.** Both method values map to the identical update call. Prefer `"update"` for consistency with `issue_write`/`pull_request_write`.
- **A `/` in a label name plus `exclusive: true` means mutual exclusivity, not just a naming convention.** This repo's `Kind/*`, `Priority/*`, `Status/*` labels follow Gitea's native scoped-label feature: applying a new label within a scope (e.g. `Priority/High`) is expected to replace any existing label in that same scope, not add alongside it. Label inference (see `references/label-inference.md`) must respect this — replace, don't stack.
- **Pagination is manual on every list call.** `label_read` and `milestone_read` both default to `per_page: 30`. Iterate `page: 1, 2, ...` until the result count is less than `per_page` — there is no cursor or auto-pagination.
- **Schema requiredness differs between the two tool families.** `milestone_read`/`milestone_write` have `owner` and `repo` as hard-required parameters (the call fails validation without them). `label_read`/`label_write` only hard-require `method` — `owner`/`repo`/`org` are functionally required per method but not schema-enforced, so passing none produces a runtime error from Gitea, not a client-side validation error.
## Dispatch
| Task | Tool | method |
|---|---|---|
| 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"` |
For full parameter detail and step-by-step call sequences, read `references/labels.md` (label operations) or `references/milestones.md` (milestone operations). For mapping conversation context to a label to apply, read `references/label-inference.md`.
Applying resolved label IDs or a milestone ID to a specific issue or PR is out of scope here — that's `issue_write`/`pull_request_write` in the composing skill (`gitea-issues`/`gitea-prs`).
