+# fj Claude Code plugin
+
+A [Claude Code](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code) plugin that
+teaches Claude how to use `fj`, the CLI for Forgejo and Gitea-compatible
+instances.
+
+The plugin ships a single skill (`fj`) that activates when the user
+mentions fj, Forgejo, Gitea, or any forge-side action (open a PR, list
+issues, cut a release, request a review, etc.) on a non-GitHub host.
+
+## Install
+
+This directory is both a Claude Code plugin AND a single-plugin
+marketplace. Add the marketplace once, then install:
+
+```text
+/plugin marketplace add rasterandstate/fj-claude-plugin
+/plugin install fj@rasterandstate
+```
+
+After install, the skill activates automatically when relevant.
+

+
+The marketplace lives at the root; each plugin lives in `plugins/<name>/`.
+`marketplace.json` references plugins via `"source": "./plugins/<name>"`.
+This is the working pattern used by `anthropics/claude-plugins-official`
+and other shipping marketplaces.
+
+## Updating
+
+This `claude/` directory is the source of truth, inside the fj repo at
+[rasterhub.com/rasterstate/fj](https://rasterhub.com/rasterstate/fj).
+
+A mirror lives at
+[github.com/rasterandstate/fj-claude-plugin](https://github.com/rasterandstate/fj-claude-plugin),
+synced from this directory. To cut a new version:
+
+1. Bump `version` in `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` here.
+2. Update SKILL.md if new fj commands or workflows exist.
+3. Commit + push the fj repo.
+4. Sync the contents of `claude/` over to the mirror repo and tag it:
+
+   ```sh
+   # From the fj repo root:
+   rsync -av --delete --exclude=.git claude/ /path/to/fj-claude-plugin/
+   cd /path/to/fj-claude-plugin
+   git commit -am "sync from fj vX.Y.Z"

+description: How to use `fj`, a CLI for Forgejo (the gh equivalent). Use this skill when the user mentions fj, Forgejo, Gitea, or wants to script repository, issue, pull-request, release, label, milestone, webhook, or branch-protection operations against a self-hosted Forgejo/Gitea instance. Triggers also include "open a PR on rasterhub", "list my Forgejo issues", and similar.
+---
+
+# Using `fj`
+
+`fj` is a CLI for [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org) instances and
+Gitea-compatible forks, in the spirit of GitHub's `gh`. Tokens live in
+the OS keychain. Multi-host. Repo auto-detection from the git remote.
+
+When the user is operating against a Forgejo or Gitea host (not
+github.com), prefer `fj` over `curl` or `git` for forge-side actions:
+issues, PRs, releases, labels, milestones, webhooks, branch protection,
+search, notifications.
+
+## Quick orientation
+
+```
+fj auth login --host <host>      # one-time setup; token in keychain
+fj auth status                   # which hosts you're signed in to
+fj --version
+fj --help                        # 25 top-level subcommands
+```
+
+Inside a clone, `fj` infers the repo from `git remote -v` (prefers
+`upstream` then `origin`). `-R/--repo` is always accepted as an
+override.
+
+## Core commands
+
+| Group | Most-reached-for subcommands |
+| --- | --- |
+| `repo` | list, view, clone, create, fork, sync, edit, rename, archive, delete, branches, topics, mirror, watch, star, starred |
+| `issue` | list, view, create, edit, close, reopen, comment, edit-comment, delete-comment, develop |
+| `pr` | list, view, create, edit, diff, commits, files, checks, ready, review, request-review, status, checkout, merge, close |
+| `release` | list, view, create, edit, delete, upload, download |
+| `label` | list, create, edit, delete |
+| `milestone` | list, view, create, edit, close, delete, assign |
+| `run` / `secret` / `variable` | Forgejo Actions workflows + their config |
+| `search` | repos, issues, prs, users, code |
+| `browse` | open the current repo (or a path within it) in $BROWSER |
+| `status` | notifications inbox |
+| `protect` / `hook` | branch protection rules, webhooks |
+| `api` | raw HTTP escape hatch with `-X`, `-f`, `-F`, `-H`, `-q`, `--paginate`, `--include` |
+
+## Global flags
+
+- `--host <name>` or `FJ_HOST`: pick the host explicitly. When omitted
+  fj uses (1) the host from the autodetected remote, then (2) the
+  configured default from `fj auth switch`.
+- `--debug` or `FJ_DEBUG=1`: log every HTTP request to stderr.
+- `--no-pager` or `FJ_NO_PAGER=1`: skip the pager.
+- `--json-fields foo,bar`: gh-style projection on top of `--json`. Dotted
+  paths supported (`--json-fields owner.login,id`).
+- `--web` on most list/view commands: open the relevant page in
+  `$BROWSER`.
+
+## Scripting patterns
+
+### Get one field
+
+```sh
+fj api /user -q .login
+fj api /repos/owner/name -q .default_branch
+fj api /repos/owner/name/pulls/3 -q .merged
+```
+
+`-q` accepts dot paths, `[N]`/`[-N]` brackets, and `|` pipes. Not full
+jq. For complex queries, pipe to real `jq`:
+
+```sh
+fj api /repos/.../pulls --paginate | jq '[.[] | select(.draft == false) | .number]'
+```
+
+### Selective JSON output
+
+```sh
+fj repo list --json --json-fields full_name,private,default_branch
+fj pr list -R foo/bar --json --json-fields number,title,head.label
+```
+
+### Auto-pagination
+
+`fj api --paginate` follows `Link: rel=next` and concatenates results.
+For list commands (`fj pr list -L 200`, etc.), pagination is implicit:
+when `-L > 50` (Forgejo's per-page cap) the CLI walks pages
+transparently.
+
+### Body input
+
+For commands with `--body`: pass an inline string, `-` for stdin, or
+omit `--body` to open `$EDITOR`. In non-interactive contexts (CI,
+scripts) ALWAYS pass `--body` explicitly so the command doesn't hang
+waiting for an editor.
+
+```sh
+fj issue create -R foo/bar --title "..." --body "..."           # inline
+echo "long body" | fj issue create -R foo/bar --title "..." --body -  # stdin
+fj issue create -R foo/bar --title "..."                        # interactive only
+```
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Find a PR to review
+
+```sh
+fj pr status                                        # cross-repo dashboard
+fj pr list -R foo/bar --state open --json \
+  --json-fields number,title,head.label,user.login
+```
+
+### Review a PR (inside a clone)
+
+```sh
+fj pr checkout 42                                   # checks out the head branch
+fj pr diff 42 | less                                # or fj pr files 42 for a summary
+fj pr review 42 --event approve --body "LGTM"
+fj pr review 42 --event request-changes --body "see comments"
+fj pr review 42 --event comment --body "..."
+fj pr request-review 42 alice bob                   # request specific reviewers
+```
+
+### Open + iterate on an issue
+
+```sh
+fj issue create --title "..." --body "..."          # auto-detects repo
+fj issue view 7
+fj issue comment 7 --body "more info"
+fj issue edit-comment 12345 --body "fixed typo"     # comment id, not issue number
+fj issue close 7
+fj issue develop 7                                  # create a branch for it
+```
+
+### Cut a release
+
+```sh
+fj release create v1.2.3 --title "1.2.3" --body "..." --asset dist/foo.tar.gz
+fj release upload v1.2.3 dist/extra.txt
+fj release view v1.2.3 --json
+```
+
+### Search
+
+```sh
+fj search code "use crate::foo" -R owner/name
+fj search issues "is:open label:bug"
+fj search repos "rust forgejo"
+```
+
+### Inspect notifications
+
+```sh
+fj status                                           # unread inbox
+fj status --all                                     # include read
+fj status --mark-read                               # mark all as read
+```
+
+### Raw API
+
+```sh
+fj api /version                                     # GET
+fj api /repos/foo/bar/issues -f state=all --paginate
+fj api /repos/foo/bar/issues -X POST -F labels='[1,2]' --input '{"title":"x","body":"y"}'
+fj api /user -H "X-Trace-Id: $(uuidgen)"            # custom headers
+fj api /repos/foo/bar/branches --include            # response headers + body
+```
+
+## Things to avoid
+
+- **Don't paste tokens into the shell history.** `fj auth token` refuses
+  to print to a TTY by default. Pipe to a file or another command:
+  `fj auth token | pbcopy`. Use `--force` if absolutely needed.
+- **Don't shell out to `curl` against `/api/v1`** when `fj api` works.
+  `fj api` handles auth, retries on 5xx and 429, jq projection, and
+  pagination.
+- **Don't `git push` and call it forge-side.** `fj` doesn't have a
+  `push` subcommand because that's git's job. But `fj pr create`,
+  `fj release create` etc. are how you forge-side artifacts.
+- **Don't omit `--body` in non-interactive scripts.** It'll open
+  `$EDITOR` and hang.
+- **Don't assume gh-equivalence everywhere.** Check `docs/gh-to-fj.md`
+  if uncertain. Notable gaps: no `gh codespace`, no `gh attestation`,
+  no `gh ruleset` (Forgejo uses branch protection via `fj protect`).
+
+## When things go wrong
+
+- HTTP 401: `fj auth refresh` (re-verifies) or `fj auth refresh --token
+  NEW` (replaces). If a token is revoked, `fj auth login --host <h>`
+  to start over.
+- "no host selected": pass `--host` or `fj auth switch <h>` to set a
+  default.
+- Mysterious 404s on commands like `fj pr ready` or `fj search code`:
+  the target server may be older than the Forgejo 7.x baseline. Check
+  `fj api /version`. See [`docs/compatibility.md`](https://rasterhub.com/rasterstate/fj/src/branch/main/docs/compatibility.md).
+- Hangs in CI: probably waiting on `$EDITOR`. Always pass `--body`.
+- "shadowed by other commands": you have two `fj` binaries on PATH.
+  Pick one (usually `~/.local/bin/fj` for source builds vs.
+  `/opt/homebrew/bin/fj` for Homebrew installs).
