 # Reconcile Beads Workflow
 
-This skill reconciles beads that are in `in_review` status with their corresponding PRs. If a PR has been merged, the bead is closed.
+This skill reconciles beads that are in `in_review` status with their corresponding PRs. If a PR has been merged, the bead is closed and any linked Gitea issue is also closed.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - Custom status `in_review` must be configured: `bd config set status.custom "in_review"`
 - Beads in `in_review` status should have a PR URL in their notes
+- `tea` CLI must be configured for closing Gitea issues
 
 ## Workflow

+### Step 3.1: Close corresponding Gitea issue (if any)
+
+After closing a bead, check if it has a linked Gitea issue:
+
+1. **Check for Gitea issue URL in bead notes**:
+   Look for the pattern `Gitea issue: <URL>` in the notes. Extract the URL.
+
+2. **Extract issue number from URL**:
+   ```bash
+   # Example: https://git.johnogle.info/johno/nixos-configs/issues/16 -> 16
+   echo "$GITEA_URL" | grep -oP '/issues/\K\d+'
+   ```
+
+3. **Close the Gitea issue**:
+   ```bash
+   tea issues close [ISSUE_NUMBER]
+   ```
+
+4. **Handle errors gracefully**:
+   - If issue is already closed: Log warning, continue
+   - If issue not found: Log warning, continue
+   - If `tea` fails: Log error, continue with other beads
+
+   Example warning output:
+   ```
+   Warning: Could not close Gitea issue #16: issue already closed
+   ```

 ## Notes
 
 - This skill complements `/parallel_beads` which sets beads to `in_review` status
 - Run this skill periodically or after merging PRs to keep beads in sync
 - Beads with closed (but not merged) PRs are not automatically closed - they may need rework
+- Gitea issues are only closed for beads that have a `Gitea issue: <URL>` in their notes
