gitadmin ff41e7965a refactor(forge): split forge-interaction into specialized GitHub and Gitea skills
Break the monolithic forge-interaction skill into focused, single-responsibility
skills for better predictability and maintainability:

- Add forge-github skill for GitHub-specific interactions using `gh` CLI
- Add forge-gitea skill for Gitea-specific interactions using `tea` CLI
- Convert forge-interaction into a router that delegates to specialized skills
- Add forge-router skill with model invocation disabled for guidance only
- Move all forge-related skills to common/deprecated directory

Each specialized skill now contains its own complete decision tree, CLI usage
patterns, and authentication checks for its respective forge platform.

Forge Skills

A collection of specialized forge interaction skills for GitHub and Gitea.

Overview

This directory contains focused skills for interacting with different code hosting platforms:

  • GitHub: Use /forge-github for GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, or CI
  • Gitea: Use /forge-gitea for Gitea repositories, issues, pull requests, releases, or CI
  • Router: Use /forge-interaction to let the system choose the right skill automatically

Skill Structure

Each forge-specific skill is designed with:

  1. Single Responsibility: Handles only one forge type (GitHub or Gitea)
  2. Predictable Behavior: Clear decision tree and completion criteria
  3. Complete Coverage: All requested forge actions are supported
  4. Error Handling: Specific guidance for missing tools or authentication

Choosing the Right Skill

Use /forge-github when:

  • Working with GitHub repositories (github.com URLs)
  • Using the gh CLI tool
  • Interacting with GitHub-specific features (issues, PRs, releases, CI)

Use /forge-gitea when:

  • Working with Gitea repositories (gitea.com or self-hosted Gitea)
  • Using the tea CLI tool
  • Interacting with Gitea-specific features (issues, PRs, releases, CI)

Use /forge-interaction when:

  • You're unsure which forge you're working with
  • You want the system to automatically choose the right skill
  • You prefer a unified interface that handles both platforms

Skill Comparison

Feature GitHub Skill Gitea Skill
CLI Tool gh tea
Platform GitHub Gitea
Focus GitHub-specific Gitea-specific
Predictability High High
Maintenance Isolated Isolated

Usage Examples

# For GitHub work
/forge-github create an issue in this repo
/forge-github list pull requests
/forge-github check CI status
/forge-github publish a new release

# For Gitea work  
/forge-gitea create an issue in this repo
/forge-gitea list pull requests
/forge-gitea check CI status
/forge-gitea publish a new release

# Let the system decide
/forge-interaction create a PR for this feature

Why Separate Skills?

  1. Predictability: Each skill knows exactly one forge type
  2. Maintainability: Changes to GitHub or Gitea logic stay isolated
  3. Clarity: Users can see which forge a skill handles at a glance
  4. Testing: Each skill can be tested independently
  5. Cognitive Load: Users remember fewer skills and their specific purposes
  • /forge-router - High-level guidance for choosing the right forge skill
  • /forge-preferences - Personal or project-specific forge configurations

Next Steps

  1. Choose the appropriate skill based on your forge platform
  2. Ensure the required CLI tool (gh or tea) is installed
  3. Configure authentication for your forge platform
  4. Start with simple actions and build up to more complex workflows
