Hugo Nijhuis dd9c1c0090 refactor(skills): apply progressive disclosure to gitea skill
Split gitea skill into main file and reference documentation.
Main SKILL.md now focuses on core commands (154 lines, down from 201),
with setup/auth and CI/Actions moved to reference files.

gitea haiku View, create, and manage Gitea issues and pull requests using tea CLI. Use when working with issues, PRs, viewing issue details, creating pull requests, adding comments, merging PRs, or when the user mentions tea, gitea, issue numbers, or PR numbers. false

Gitea CLI (tea)

Command-line interface for Gitea repositories. Use tea for issue/PR management in Gitea instances.

Setup required? See reference/setup.md for installation and authentication.

Repository Detection

tea automatically detects the repository from git remotes when run inside a git repository. Use --remote <name> to specify which remote to use.

Warning

: Do not use heredoc syntax $(cat <<'EOF'...EOF) with tea comment - it causes the command to be backgrounded and fail silently.

  • -o simple - Plain text
  • -o table - Tabular format (default)
  • -o json - Machine-readable JSON
  • -o yaml - YAML format
  • -o csv - CSV format

Specifying Remote/Login

tea issues --remote gitea            # Use specific git remote
tea issues --login myserver          # Use specific login
tea issues -r owner/repo             # Specify repo directly

Tips

  • View single issue: Use tea issues <number> (NOT tea issues view <number> - there is no view subcommand)
  • PR description flag: Use --description or -d (NOT --body like gh CLI)
  • Always verify you're in the correct repository before running commands
  • Use tea issues to find issue numbers before viewing/editing
  • Reference issues in PR bodies with Closes #N for auto-linking
  • Use --remote gitea when you have multiple remotes (e.g., origin + gitea)
  • The tea pulls checkout command is handy for reviewing PRs locally
