GitLab API integration for repository operations. Use when working with GitLab repositories for reading, writing, creating, or deleting files, listing projects, managing branches, or any other GitLab repository operations.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interact with GitLab repositories via the REST API. Supports both GitLab.com and self-hosted instances.
Store your GitLab personal access token: mkdir -p ~/.config/gitlab echo "glpat-YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" > ~/.config/gitlab/api_token Token scopes needed: api or read_api + write_repository Get a token: GitLab.com: https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens Self-hosted: https://YOUR_GITLAB/~/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens
Default instance: https://gitlab.com For self-hosted GitLab, create a config file: echo "https://gitlab.example.com" > ~/.config/gitlab/instance_url

Use scripts/gitlab_api.sh for common operations: # List projects ./scripts/gitlab_api.sh list-projects # Read file ./scripts/gitlab_api.sh read-file <project-id> <file-path> [branch] # Write file ./scripts/gitlab_api.sh write-file <project-id> <file-path> <content> <commit-msg> [branch] # Delete file ./scripts/gitlab_api.sh delete-file <project-id> <file-path> <commit-msg> [branch] # List directory ./scripts/gitlab_api.sh list-dir <project-id> <dir-path> [branch]
GitLab.com: 300 requests/minute (authenticated) Self-hosted: Configurable by admin
