Claude Code AI - Gitea MCP 598a7c326a refactor(skills): retrofit the corpus to the ADR-0020 context contract (#129)
Retrofits all 39 skills to ADR-0020's description/body context contract, then fixes what six rounds of independent review found in that retrofit — including four ways the hot gate itself failed open.

Closes #99, #107, #108, #110, #111, #114, #115, #120.

## The retrofit (waves 1-5)

| | Start | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Description FAILs (>400 chars) | 26 | **0** |
| Body FAILs (>900 words, body-only) | 9 | **0** |
| Dangling routing targets | 2 | **0** |
| `Kyberforge.CompositionNote` | 10 | **0** |
| Preload tax | 21,005 chars | **~10,500** |

Under the 12,000-char success criterion. Per-wave detail is on #99.

## The review fixes

**The gate failed open four ways, three of them found after the retrofit shipped.** An unrecognised follower token made a dangling target vanish. A skill directory with no `SKILL.md` resolved as a valid target, so a commit could be green locally and red in a fresh clone — three existing fixtures were relying on that, one of which made the install-leak A/B pass vacuously. Then the free-standing `/name` sweep turned out to be gated on the sentence carrying a boundary marker, so route notation in any other sentence was invisible — not an ERROR, not a SUGGESTION, not an INFO — which left the documented "`/name` always blocks" promise false from a second direction. All four fixed and pinned.

**Two checks were silently not running.** `validate-provenance.sh` checks 7-8 were dead across nine skills. Waking them exposed a deeper problem: they assume `Research doc:` names a source index, but 30 of 121 entries point at topic content documents, so every new check-7 INFO was a false positive and check 8 was saved from a false-FAIL flood only by an *unannounced* skip. Checks 7/8 are now scoped to source indexes and every skip announces itself (#121).

**The retrofit's own anti-goal, four times.** ADR-0020 warns that a blunt gate gets satisfied by deleting content rather than relocating it. `diagnose` and `skill-audit` relocated prose and then read it unconditionally; `prototype` and `vale-config` deleted rules outright that survived nowhere. All four addressed.

## Verification

- `bash tests/run-tests.sh --strict` — 24 suites, 0 skipped, 0 failed
- `bash tests/run-bats.sh` — 325 tests, 0 failures
- `pre-commit run --all-files` — 17/17
- `pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-push --all-files` — 16/16, with `apm marketplace check` and `apm pack --check-clean` run against the remote, not skipped
- `scripts/skill-size-check.sh` over all 39 skills — rc 0, 0 ERROR/FAIL, SUGGESTION-only
- Preload tax measured at **10,498 chars**, max description 390 — both inside budget
- Every new test proven non-vacuous by a deliberate mutation of the behaviour it covers

**Per-commit sync, stated accurately:** the ten commits from the latest review round each pass `check-plugin-content-sync` in isolation, verified by checking each out in a detached worktree with a clean between. The earlier gitea window (`dfacf05..bedbd1d`, nine commits) does **not** — its mirror was regenerated in one batch at `bbc7300`. An earlier revision of this description claimed the property held for every commit; it does not, and a bisect through that window lands on a red commit. **Squash-merge** to collapse it, or accept that this range is not bisectable.

## Version bump

Six plugins and the catalog take a **patch**, not a minor. The branch is **89 commits — 40 `fix` / 30 `refactor` / 12 `docs` / 5 `chore` / 2 `test` — zero `feat`, zero `!`, zero `BREAKING CHANGE`** — and adds no skill, agent, command or hook. (Two earlier revisions of this section cited a stale histogram, most recently 78 commits; the figures above are measured at HEAD.) Both rules this repo ships (`forge/references/version-bump.md`, landing in this PR, and `git-commits/references/conventional-commits-spec.md`) make that a patch, and the catalog set is unchanged at 7 entries.

Not settled by that: four published files were removed from the installed tree, three moved, and `caveman` gained `disable-model-invocation`, retiring its old triggers. Under a strict reading those are major-class and currently ship under `refactor:` with no marker. Whether the deployed skill surface is a public contract is written down nowhere — worth deciding, but it outlives this PR.

## Deliberately not in scope

#112 (cherry-pick ownership, now resolved in favour of `git-commits`), #113 (`rtk git` normalisation), #116 (research fan-out), #101 (audit-skill merge), #122 (non-spec skill-root files), #123 (no PRD producer) stay open. #117 is the one worth reading: the contract's remedy is to move prose into `references/`, which is exactly where neither the size gate nor Vale looks — and the blind spot is wider than #117 currently records, since there is no root `.vale.ini` at all, so every ADR, `CONTEXT.md` and `README.md` is unlinted too.

That blind spot let this branch carry two `level: error` `Kyberforge.SentenceOpenerThereIs` violations into `references/` files it created — `provider-adapter-author/references/provider-matrix.md:31` and `agent-audit/references/finding-criteria.md:95`. Both are reworded in `afadaae`, confirmed by routing each file through the audit's own `vale-wrap.sh` (1 error each before, 0 after). Five further occurrences sit in `references/` files already on `main`; those are the pre-existing corpus and stay with #117, which is the real fix.

Also unfixed and not this PR's: `apm install` appends a duplicate `SessionStart` entry to `.claude/settings.json`, so a fresh clone cannot get pre-push green without an edit AGENTS.md warns against. Reproduces identically on `main`.

gitea-releases Use when managing Gitea releases or the git tags underneath them — list, get, create, or delete either — even when the user does not say "release" or "Gitea": "cut a v1.2.0", "publish a prerelease", "tag this commit", "what's the latest release". Not branches or commit history -> `gitea-branches`. Not issues -> `gitea-issues`. Not pull requests -> `gitea-prs`. Requires Gitea MCP server configured with a token with write:repository scope, which gates every release and tag tool here. Requires git remote "origin" pointing to the Gitea instance for owner/repo resolution, unless an orchestrating caller passes them already resolved.

Gotchas

  • delete_release takes the numeric id, never a tag_name; delete_tag takes the tag name, never an id. Holding only a tag name, resolve the release id through list_releases or get_release first — a tag name passed to delete_release fails, and that failure is not evidence the release is already gone.
  • Deleting a release never deletes its tag, and the reverse direction is unconfirmed — verify with list_releases/get_release after delete_tag. Removing both takes two independent destructive calls.
  • Set is_draft/is_pre_release explicitly on every create_release — Gitea infers neither from a -beta/-rc tag name, so v2.0.0-beta.1 publishes as a full release and becomes the repo's latest. draft/prerelease are output field names only; passing draft as an input key is silently ignored.
  • list_releases/list_tags default per_page to 20, where most other gitea-mcp list tools default to 30 — a caller assuming 30 under-counts pages.

Step 1 — Resolve owner and repo

owner and repo are required on every tool below. Extract them from the git remote, unless an orchestrating caller passed them in already:

git remote get-url origin

If origin is not set or the URL is not a Gitea URL, stop and report: "No Gitea remote found — set origin to your Gitea instance URL."

Step 2 — Dispatch

Action Tool Required params Optional params
List releases list_releases owner, repo is_draft, is_pre_release, page (default 1), per_page (default 20)
Get one release get_release owner, repo, id (number) —
Get latest release get_latest_release owner, repo —
Create release create_release owner, repo, tag_name, target, title body, is_draft, is_pre_release
Delete release delete_release owner, repo, id (number) —
List tags list_tags owner, repo page (default 1), per_page (default 20)
Get one tag get_tag owner, repo, tag_name —
Create tag create_tag owner, repo, tag_name target, message
Delete tag delete_tag owner, repo, tag_name —

target (on create_release/create_tag) is a commitish — a branch name, existing tag, or commit SHA — the point the new tag is cut from.

Pass a caller-supplied tag_name through verbatim — the API accepts any string; semver is convention, not constraint.

Step 3 — Procedure for the scenario in hand

These four are mutually exclusive — pick the one row the request lands on.

Scenario Procedure
Create a release Call create_release with tag_name, target, title, and is_draft/is_pre_release set explicitly — never left to default. This surface carries no update or edit tool, so a wrong flag is repairable only by delete-and-recreate (references/conventions.md). A separate create_tag is only needed to tag a commit without wrapping it in a release — whether create_release creates a missing tag is unconfirmed, so verify with get_tag.
Delete a release Resolve the numeric id per the first Gotcha, confirm intent, then call delete_release. The tag survives.
Delete a tag along with its release Delete the release first, then call delete_tag — confirm both are intended before proceeding, since each is irreversible on its own.
List every page Loop page: 1, 2, 3... until a response returns fewer than per_page entries. Nothing here auto-paginates.

If exact input params or response field shapes are needed, read references/call-signatures.md. If the caller raises semver tag naming, draft/prerelease semantics, release-notes sourcing, or how a release relates to its tag, read references/conventions.md.
