Description 688 -> 282 chars, body 435 -> 293 words, Gotchas 5 entries/54% of body -> 3/23.5%. Clears the description FAIL and the Gotchas suggestion. Cut the second trigger register (six re-quoted user phrasings) and the capability enumeration; both moved to a new Boundaries section in the skill's own README. Kept all three boundary clauses -- git-branches, git-history and gitea-prs each defend a real activation steal, and gitea-prs is now the only guard on the branch/PR collision in either direction since gitea-prs's own retrofit narrowed its boundary to issues. Written as one arrow per target: the resolver extracts only the first name per arrow clause, so conjoined targets go unchecked. Two Gotchas deleted -- one paraphrased the step below it (its non-obvious half, the get_me/list_my_repos token-scope block, was folded into that step), the other is carried in full by references/branches.md:40-52. Repoint two reference pointers the rename broke: branches.md and commits.md named Gotchas by titles this retrofit changed. Now named by stable descriptors. Refs #99

Commit operations
Read-only commit history, scoped to a repo (optionally to one branch or one path). Call signatures
below were verified live against the deployed gitea-mcp server via ToolSearch at authoring time,
not copied from research docs, for the same drift-avoidance reason noted in references/branches.md.
This domain has no prior skill precedent — it's new coverage added alongside branches because commit history is naturally scoped to a branch (a "what happened on this branch" question), not because it shares any tool family with branch create/delete.
list_commits
Parameters:
owner(string, required)repo(string, required)sha(string, optional) — starting SHA or branch name; if omitted, gitea-mcp uses the repo's default branchpath(string, optional) — restrict results to commits that touched this file/pathpage(number, optional, default:1, minimum:1)per_page(number, optional, default:30, minimum:1)
Call:
list_commits owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <branch-or-sha> path: <optional-path>
Dispatch defaults:
- "commits on
<branch>" → pass<branch>assha. - "commits touching
<path>" (no branch mentioned) → passpathalone,shaomitted (defaults to the repo's default branch). - Both given → pass both; the result is history for that path, walked from that branch/SHA.
- Neither given → omit both; this returns default-branch history, which is a reasonable default for an open-ended "what's the recent history here" question.
Response: one object per commit: sha, html_url, created, message (when available),
author ({name, email, date}, when available).
Paginate per the pagination Gotcha in SKILL.md if you need more than one page of history.
get_commit
Parameters:
owner(string, required)repo(string, required)sha(string, required)
Call:
get_commit owner: <owner> repo: <repo> sha: <commit-sha>
Response: same shape as a list_commits entry, but always fully populated (message and
author are guaranteed present, not conditional). Use this when the user asks about one specific
commit by SHA rather than browsing history — list_commits entries may omit message/author in
edge cases, get_commit will not.
Token scope
Both tools are believed to require write:repository, even though they're read-only — inferred by
analogy with the scope-gating principle in overview.md (Gitea gates reads behind write scope for
repo-scoped operations), not a claim overview.md makes for commits by name: its explicit
write:repository enumeration lists PR, branch, file, release, and tag operations, but doesn't
mention commits. An earlier version of this doc claimed write:issue alone worked, based on
empirical testing under a token that held both write:issue and write:repository
simultaneously — that test didn't isolate the variable either. Treat this as unverified until
tested under a token scoped to write:issue only (no write:repository).
