description: Use the configured self-hosted Gitea instance instead of GitHub when the user is working with Gitea
alwaysApply: true

When the user talks about Gitea or a self-hosted git host:

- Use the Gitea MCP tools (`gitea_*`), not GitHub.
- Treat `GITEA_URL` as the only git host for API calls.
- Gitea pull requests live under `/pulls`. Merge styles are merge, rebase, rebase-merge, squash.
- Pagination `limit` is often capped at 50.
- Prefer `gitea_catalog` + `gitea_call` for endpoints without a dedicated action.
- Never echo access tokens or Actions secret values.
- Do not use admin, secret, or raw-request tools unless the user asks and those flags are enabled.
- Prefer conventional commits and small pull requests. Reference issues as `#<number>`.
