# Import Gitea Issues as Beads

This skill imports open Gitea issues as beads, checking for duplicates to avoid re-importing already tracked issues.

## Prerequisites

- `tea` CLI must be installed and configured for the repository
- `bd` (beads) CLI must be installed
- Must be in a git repository with a Gitea/Forgejo remote

## Workflow

### Step 1: Get open Gitea issues

List all open issues using `tea`:

```bash
tea issues
```

This returns a table with columns: INDEX, TITLE, LABELS, MILESTONE

### Step 2: Get existing beads

List all current beads to check what's already imported:

```bash
bd list
```

Also check bead notes for issue URLs to identify imports:

```bash
bd list --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.notes != null) | .notes' | grep -oP 'issues/\K\d+'
```

### Step 3: Check for already-linked PRs

Check if any open PRs reference beads (skip these issues as they're being worked on):

```bash
tea pr list
```

Look for PRs with:
- Bead ID in title: `[nixos-configs-xxx]`
- Bead reference in body: `Implements bead:` or `Bead ID:`

### Step 4: For each untracked issue, create a bead

For each issue not already tracked:

1. **Get full issue details**:
   ```bash
   tea issue [ISSUE_NUMBER]
   ```

2. **Determine bead type** based on issue content:
   - "bug" - if issue mentions bug, error, broken, fix, crash
   - "feature" - if issue mentions feature, add, new, enhancement
   - "task" - default for other issues

3. **Create the bead**:
   ```bash
   bd add "[ISSUE_TITLE]" \
     --type=[TYPE] \
     --priority=P2 \
     --notes="Gitea issue: [ISSUE_URL]

   Original issue description:
   [ISSUE_BODY]"
   ```

   Note: The `--notes` flag accepts multi-line content.

### Step 5: Report results

Present a summary:

```
## Gitea Issues Import Summary

### Imported as Beads
| Issue | Title | Bead ID | Type |
|-------|-------|---------|------|
| #5 | Add dark mode | nixos-configs-abc | feature |
| #3 | Config broken on reboot | nixos-configs-def | bug |

### Skipped (Already Tracked)
| Issue | Title | Reason |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #4 | Update flake | Existing bead: nixos-configs-xyz |
| #2 | Refactor roles | PR #7 references bead |

### Skipped (Other)
| Issue | Title | Reason |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #1 | Discussion: future plans | No actionable work |
```

## Type Detection Heuristics

Keywords to detect issue type:

**Bug indicators** (case-insensitive):
- bug, error, broken, fix, crash, fail, issue, problem, wrong, not working

**Feature indicators** (case-insensitive):
- feature, add, new, enhancement, implement, support, request, want, would be nice

**Task** (default):
- Anything not matching bug or feature patterns

## Error Handling

- **tea not configured**: Report error and exit
- **bd not available**: Report error and exit
- **Issue already has bead**: Skip and report in summary
- **Issue is a PR**: Skip (tea shows PRs and issues separately)

## Notes

- Default priority is P2; adjust manually after import if needed
- Issue labels from Gitea are not automatically mapped to bead tags
- Run this periodically to catch new issues
- After import, use `bd ready` to see which beads can be worked on
