The skills carry meaning, the scripts carry work. Splitting the second
half onto a cheap model keeps the main session's context for the part
that needs judgement.
tea-runner is a Haiku subagent with Bash/Read/Grep/Glob/Skill and
nothing else. It loads /tea:sync or /tea:issue for the command table
rather than carrying its own copy, so the skills stay the single source
of truth for the script surface.
It executes and reports; it decides nothing. No Edit and no Write, so an
issue body is out of reach. No raw tea, no --force, no closing or
retitling, no pushing past the set it was handed, one retry maximum. A
failed validation, a missing type, an unpushed dependency come back as a
question in a `blocked:` line. The reply is a fixed receipt — commands
with ok/FAIL, touched paths, stderr verbatim — never a payload dump.
Knowledge still flows one way: nothing under skills/ knows the agent
exists, and deleting agents/ changes nothing.

An issue was a Gitea row that happened to be cached locally: its identity
was the tracker's number (42.md), its dependencies were tracker numbers
(depends: [#12]), and a local issue existed only as a draft that push
deleted on success. Nothing could be planned or tracked without a tracker.
Split into layers, with knowledge flowing one way:
skills/issue DOMAIN what an issue is: format, validation, dep graph
^ offline; stdlib imports only, no subprocess
| imports
skills/sync BRIDGE map.py md <-> Gitea JSON, pure, no I/O
_gitea.py login pin, api, pagination, filters
skills/use REFERENCE tea CLI docs for non-issue entities
skills/issue never imports skills/sync. Delete the sync layer and the
domain keeps working.
Identity is now a slug derived from the title (wire-sqlc-appclick.md) and
is stable across retitles and pushes. Tracker numbers live in a `gitea:`
field, never in a file name and never in `depends:`; the pair is indexed
in .remote.json, which is a cache over the files, not a second source of
truth.
Behavior changes:
- Pushing is additive. The file is never deleted; it gains gitea:/url:/
synced: and origin: flips from local to gitea. `origin: local` is a
durable state, not a pending one.
- Pushes go in topological order so dependencies get numbers first.
- The dependency graph is computed offline from `depends:` metadata; body
prose is passed through unchanged in both directions rather than being
rewritten between slugs and #N.
- `origin` is domain-owned (whether work exists elsewhere is a fact about
the work); the handle and how to reach it stay with sync.
Script moves:
issue_get.py -> sync/pull.py
issue_push.py -> sync/push.py
issue_list.py -> sync/remote.py
issue_index.py -> issue/issue_index.py
_tea.py -> split into issue/issue.py, sync/map.py, sync/_gitea.py
New: issue/issue_new.py, issue/issue_check.py, issue/issue_tree.py, and
sync/comment.py — comment posting was the last issue operation still
hand-rolled through raw `tea api`.
references/issue-format.md moves to skills/issue/references/format.md;
label hex colors move out of it into map.py, since a color is how a
tracker paints a chip, not what an issue is.
Verified: offline path end to end (new, check, tree, index, push
--dry-run) and read-only against Gitea (remote listing, pull with
mapping, comment guard). Write paths of push.py and comment.py are not
exercised here.

Replace fetch_issue.py with four scripts around a flat, greppable cache in
tmp/issues/. Planning stays offline and issues reach Gitea in one push:
- issue_get.py: fetch by key or by filter (--milestone/--label/-q). The list
endpoint carries issue bodies, so a whole milestone costs one request per 50
issues. Gitea silently ignores an unresolvable milestones= filter and returns
the entire backlog, so the milestone is resolved up front and every returned
issue is re-checked locally. --deps walks the dependency graph downwards via
the structured sections plus native dependencies and writes tree-<slug>.md.
- issue_push.py: validate a local draft against the canonical format, create
missing labels with the right colors and exclusivity, POST, delete the draft.
- issue_list.py: discovery to stdout, writes nothing.
- issue_index.py: rebuild INDEX.md from what is on disk.
Files use one metadata field per line with inline lists so plain grep works
without a parser. This is a cache and a drafting area, not a mirror: no drift
tracking, no sync back.
Projects are not fetchable — the projects API is 404 on Gitea 1.26; documented
alongside the milestone caveat.

`/tea:login` could not be invoked as `/login` because Claude Code
reserves that name as a built-in command. Renaming the skill to `auth`
frees the short form: `/tea:auth` and `/auth` both resolve.
Updates all references in the guard hook, README, plugin manifests, and
the use skill.

The install steps used a non-existent "plugins" settings key, so a fresh
clone loaded nothing. Add .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and document the
supported /plugin marketplace add + /plugin install tea@tea flow.
