+name: gitea-agent
+description: Operate the local self-hosted Gitea instance (gitea-...urieljareth.org) for this Proxmox and Coolify Manager project. Use when Codex needs to create/list/search/mirror Gitea repositories, push a local project to Gitea headlessly (token in extraHeader, no wincred), inspect branches/releases/hooks, or wire a `gitea` remote alongside a GitHub `origin`. Distinct from coolify-deploy (which ships to Coolify) — this skill only manages the git hosting layer on Gitea.
+---
+
+# Gitea Agent
+
+Use this project-local skill for Gitea work in this repository. The Gitea
+instance lives behind the same Cloudflare tunnel as Coolify and is reachable
+only via its public URL.
+
+## Startup routine
+
+1. Load private values: `. .\.env.local.ps1` (provides `GITEA_URL`, `GITEA_USER`,
+   `GITEA_TOKEN`).
+2. Run the smoke test: `.\gitea_skill\scripts\Test-GiteaConnection.ps1`.
+3. Only after it passes, perform the requested operation.
+
+## Local context (verified 2026-07-19)
+
+- Gitea URL: `https://gitea-hjwh0svsoo9p5w5kj2j6b1bd.urieljareth.org`
+- Gitea version: `1.26.2`
+- Authenticated user: `urieljareth` (admin)
+- Auth header: `Authorization: token <GITEA_TOKEN>` (canonical Gitea form;
+  `Bearer` also works on 1.16+).
+- The Gitea instance runs as a Coolify container inside LXC `102` on the
+  Proxmox host `192.168.0.200`. Container-level work goes through
+  `pct exec 102 -- docker ...` (see `coolify_skill`); this skill speaks only
+  to the public REST API.
+- Secrets live only in `.env.local.ps1` (gitignored). Never write tokens into
+  Markdown, scripts, or `.git/config`.
+
+## When to use
+
+- "Push this project to Gitea" / "crea un repo en Gitea y sube esto"
+- "List my Gitea repos" / "¿qué repos tengo en Gitea?"
+- "Mirror this GitHub repo to Gitea" (`/repos/migrate`)
+- "Set up a `gitea` remote alongside GitHub `origin`"
+- "Create a release / tag on Gitea"
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- Deploying an app to run on the server → use `deploy_skill/` (Coolify).
+- Operating an already-deployed container → use `coolify_skill/`.
+- Proxmox host / LXC maintenance → use `agent/`.
+
+## Safety policy
+
+- **Read-only by default**: prefer `Get-GiteaRepo.ps1` and GET endpoints before
+  any write.
+- **Confirm before mutating**: repo creation, visibility changes, branch
+  protection, deletes, releases, and any `git push` require explicit
+  confirmation unless `-Force` is supplied.
+- **Never write secrets into the repo.** The token is injected per-invocation
+  via `http.extraHeader` for pushes; it is NOT baked into remote URLs and NOT
+  stored in wincred by these scripts.
+- **No force-push to main** unless the operator explicitly asks.
+- **State the rollback path** before destructive actions (delete repo, force
+  push): once a Gitea repo is deleted the data is gone (no Coolify-side
+  recycle bin).
+
+## Tooling
+
+See [`TOOLS.md`](TOOLS.md) for the full command reference. Core scripts:
+
+- `scripts/Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1` — low-level REST wrapper (curl-based, BOM-safe).
+- `scripts/Test-GiteaConnection.ps1` — smoke test (version + auth + repos).
+- `scripts/Get-GiteaRepo.ps1` — list / search / get a repo.
+- `scripts/New-GiteaRepo.ps1` — idempotent repo creation.
+- `scripts/Sync-GiteaRemote.ps1` — wire a `gitea` remote + push headlessly.
+
+## API reference
+
+See [`references/api-index.md`](references/api-index.md) for the verified
+endpoint cheatsheet. Full Swagger at `$GITEA_URL/api/swagger`.
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Push an existing local repo to Gitea (one shot)
+
+```powershell
+. .\.env.local.ps1
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Sync-GiteaRemote.ps1 `
+    -AppPath .\my-app `
+    -Name my-app `
+    -CreateIfMissing -Force
+```
+
+This creates `urieljareth/my-app` if missing, adds a `gitea` remote (so it
+coexists with a GitHub `origin`), and pushes the current branch with a
+one-shot auth header (token not persisted).
+
+### Mirror a GitHub repo into Gitea
+
+```powershell
+. .\.env.local.ps1
+$body = @{
+    clone_addr      = "https://github.com/urieljarethbusiness-cpu/my-app.git"
+    repo_owner      = "urieljareth"
+    repo_name       = "my-app"
+    service         = "github"
+    mirror          = $true
+    private         = $false
+    wiki            = $false
+    issues          = $false
+    pull_requests   = $false
+    releases        = $true
+} | ConvertTo-Json -Compress
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Method POST -Path "/repos/migrate" -BodyJson $body
+```
+
+### Add a Gitea webhook so Coolify auto-pulls on push
+
+```powershell
+$body = @{
+    type = "gitea"
+    active = $true
+    events = @("push")
+    config = @{ url = "https://coolify.urieljareth.org/webhooks/source.manual_webhook_secret_gitea"; content_type = "json" }
+} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 -Compress
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Method POST `
+    -Path "/repos/urieljareth/my-app/hooks" -BodyJson $body
+```
+(Replace the `manual_webhook_secret_*` segment with the real webhook URL from
+the Coolify app's "Webhooks" section.)

+# Gitea — Tooling
+
+All commands assume PowerShell from the project root. Load env first:
+
+```powershell
+. .\.env.local.ps1
+```
+
+Required env vars (in `.env.local.ps1`, gitignored):
+
+- `GITEA_URL` — base URL, e.g. `https://gitea-hjwh0svsoo9p5w5kj2j6b1bd.urieljareth.org`.
+- `GITEA_USER` — auth user (informational; `GITEA_TOKEN` encodes the identity).
+- `GITEA_TOKEN` — app token with `read:repository`, `write:repository`,
+  `read:user` scopes (generate at `$GITEA_URL/user/settings/applications`).
+
+## Smoke test
+
+```powershell
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Test-GiteaConnection.ps1
+```
+
+Calls `/version`, `/user`, `/settings/api`, `/repos/search`. Exits 1 on any
+FAIL — gate operational work on this.
+
+## Read-only
+
+```powershell
+# Who am I?
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Path "/user"
+
+# List visible repos
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Get-GiteaRepo.ps1 -List
+
+# Get one repo (owner defaults to auth user)
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Get-GiteaRepo.ps1 -Name Proxmox-Coolify-Manager
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Get-GiteaRepo.ps1 -Owner urieljareth -Name MP-Manager
+
+# Search
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Get-GiteaRepo.ps1 -Search manager
+
+# Branches + tags
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Path "/repos/urieljareth/MP-Manager/branches"
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Path "/repos/urieljareth/MP-Manager/tags"
+```
+
+## Create a repo (idempotent)
+
+```powershell
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\New-GiteaRepo.ps1 -Name my-app -Description "demo" [-Private] [-NoAutoInit]
+```
+
+If the repo already exists, prints its URL and returns the existing object
+(no failure). `-NoAutoInit` skips the Gitea-side README so you can push an
+existing local history without conflicts.
+
+## Push a local repo to Gitea (headless, token NOT persisted)
+
+```powershell
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Sync-GiteaRemote.ps1 `
+    -AppPath .\my-app `
+    -Name my-app `
+    -RemoteName gitea `
+    -CreateIfMissing [-Private] [-Force]
+```
+
+What it does:
+
+1. Ensures `urieljareth/<Name>` exists (creates if `-CreateIfMissing`).
+2. Adds (or updates) the `gitea` remote with the **clean** HTTPS URL — **no
+   token in `.git/config`**.
+3. Pushes the current branch with a **one-shot** `http.extraHeader=Authorization:
+   token <T>` and a blanked `credential.helper`. The token never reaches disk.
+
+`-RemoteName gitea` (default) coexists with a GitHub `origin`. To replace an
+existing `origin` that already points at Gitea (as in this manager repo),
+pass `-RemoteName origin`.
+
+### If you prefer wincred for interactive pushes (one-time)
+
+```powershell
+cmdkey /generic:"git:$env:GITEA_URL" /user:"$env:GITEA_USER" /pass:"$env:GITEA_TOKEN"
+```
+
+After that, plain `git push` works. The skill scripts do NOT require this —
+they work headlessly out of the box.
+
+## Low-level API
+
+```powershell
+# GET
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Path "/repos/urieljareth/MP-Manager/releases"
+
+# POST with body
+$body = @{ name = "v1.0.0"; tag_name = "v1.0.0" } | ConvertTo-Json -Compress
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Method POST `
+    -Path "/repos/urieljareth/MP-Manager/releases" -BodyJson $body
+
+# Raw (status + headers + body string)
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1 -Path "/user" -Raw
+```
+
+`Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1` uses `curl.exe --data-binary @<tmpfile>` (UTF-8 no BOM)
+so Gitea's JSON parser never trips on a BOM — same pattern as
+`Invoke-GitHubApi.ps1`.
+
+## Commands that always require confirmation
+
+- Creating a repo (`New-GiteaRepo.ps1` warns if it already exists).
+- Any `git push` (`Sync-GiteaRemote.ps1` asks unless `-Force`).
+- Any Gitea `POST`/`PATCH`/`DELETE` (repo, release, hook, branch protection).
+- Mirror/migrate operations.
+- Deleting a repo (no Coolify-side recycle bin — data is gone).
+
+`-Force` skips the interactive prompts. Use only after manually reviewing the plan.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| `GITEA_TOKEN not set` | `.env.local.ps1` not loaded | `. .\.env.local.ps1` |
+| `401`/`403` on writes | Token lacks `write:repository` | Regenerate token with the right scope at `$GITEA_URL/user/settings/applications` |
+| `invalid character '\u00ef'` | Body sent with a BOM | Already handled by `Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1` (uses `[IO.File]::WriteAllText` no-BOM); do not switch to `Set-Content -Encoding utf8` |
+| `git push` prompts for credentials | The one-shot header was overridden by a stored helper | The script blanks `credential.helper` for the push; if you configured wincred manually, that's fine too. If a different helper intercepts, run from a clean shell. |
+| `404` creating repo under an org | Org does not exist or token lacks access | Create the org first at `$GITEA_URL/org/create` |
+| Cloudflare 5xx on Gitea URL | Tunnel routing or the Gitea container is down | `coolify_skill/scripts/Get-CoolifyDockerStatus.ps1 -Filter gitea`; tunnel is dashboard-managed, see `docs/runbooks/cloudflare-tunnel.md` |

+
+## Verified 2026-07-19 on this instance
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `/version` | GET | Server version (anonymous). Returns `{"version":"1.26.2"}`. |
+| `/user` | GET | Authenticated user. Proves token. |
+| `/settings/api` | GET | Pagination/limits config. |
+| `/repos/search?limit=50` | GET | All repos visible to the token. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}` | GET | Single repo (404 if missing or no access). |
+| `/user/repos` | POST | Create repo under auth user. |
+| `/orgs/{org}/repos` | POST | Create repo under an org. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}` | PATCH | Update description, visibility, default branch. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}` | DELETE | Delete repo. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/branches` | GET | List branches. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/branch protections` | POST | Branch protection rules. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/releases` | GET/POST | List / create releases. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/tags` | GET | List tags. |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/hooks` | GET/POST | Webhooks (e.g. Coolify pull). |
+| `/repos/{owner}/{name}/mirror-sync` | POST | Sync a mirror repo. |
+| `/repos/migrate` | POST | Migrate/mirror from GitHub/GitLab/etc. |
+| `/users/{username}/tokens` | POST | Create a new app token (needs username+password or admin). |
+| `/orgs` | GET | List orgs. |
+| `/admin/users` | GET | List users (admin only). |
+
+## Token scopes (Gitea 1.20+ fine-grained)
+
+Tokens carry scopes. The current skill token (`GITEA_TOKEN` in `.env.local.ps1`)
+needs at minimum: `read:repository`, `write:repository`, `read:user`. Create at
+`$GITEA_URL/user/settings/applications` (or via API `/users/{user}/tokens` with
+basic auth). Verify scopes with:
+
+```powershell
+.\gitea_skill\scripts\Test-GiteaConnection.ps1
+```
+
+## Auth header convention
+
+Gitea's canonical header is `Authorization: token <T>` (note: literal `token`,
+not `Bearer`). This differs from GitHub/Coolify. `Invoke-GiteaApi.ps1` uses the
+canonical form. `Bearer` also works on 1.16+ but stick to `token` for max
+compat.
+
+## Git push with token (headless, no wincred)
+
+The token is NOT persisted into `.git/config` by `Sync-GiteaRemote.ps1`. It is
+sent via a one-shot `http.extraHeader`:
+
+```powershell
+git -c "http.extraHeader=Authorization: token $env:GITEA_TOKEN" `
+    -c "credential.helper=" `
+    push -u gitea main
+```
+
+If you prefer wincred (so plain `git push` works afterwards), seed it once:
+
+```powershell
+cmdkey /generic:"git:$env:GITEA_URL" /user:"$env:GITEA_USER" /pass:"$env:GITEA_TOKEN"
+```
+
+But note: the skill scripts do not require this. They work headlessly.

+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+    Wire a local git repo to Gitea and push the current branch headlessly.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    1. Ensures the target Gitea repo exists (creates it if -CreateIfMissing).
+    2. Adds (or updates) a git remote pointing at Gitea. Default remote name
+       is 'gitea' so it sits alongside a GitHub 'origin' without conflict.
+    3. Pushes the current branch with a one-shot Authorization header so the
+       Gitea token is NOT persisted into .git/config or wincred.
+
+    The token is injected via `git -c http.extraHeader=...` for the single
+    push invocation only. credential.helper is blanked for that push so the
+    helper does not prompt and does not cache the header.
+
+.PARAMETER AppPath
+    Path to the local git working copy. Defaults to current directory.
+
+.PARAMETER Name
+    Repository name on Gitea. Defaults to the basename of AppPath.
+
+.PARAMETER Owner
+    Owner (user or org). Defaults to the authenticated Gitea user.
+
+.PARAMETER RemoteName
+    Remote name to add/update. Default 'gitea'.
+
+.PARAMETER Branch
+    Branch to push. Defaults to the current HEAD of AppPath.
+
+.PARAMETER CreateIfMissing
+    Create the Gitea repo if it does not exist. If omitted and the repo is
+    missing, the script aborts with a clear message.
+
+.PARAMETER Private
+    Only used when -CreateIfMissing creates a new repo.
+
+.PARAMETER Force
+    Skip the interactive confirmation before pushing.
+
+.EXAMPLE
