+# Fix: Backlog Skill Prioritizes gitea-mcp MCP Server
+
+## Location
+`~/.claude/skills/backlog/SKILL.md`
+
+## Change
+Updated the backlog skill to use the `gitea-mcp` MCP server as the primary method for listing and creating Gitea issues, replacing raw curl API calls as primary.
+
+### Primary Tools Now
+- `mcp__gitea-mcp__list_repo_issues` — list issues
+- `mcp__gitea-mcp__create_issue` — create new issues
+
+### Fallback
+Curl commands preserved for cases where MCP server is unavailable.
+
+## Commit
+Synced to `cal/claude-configs` repo as commit `3abd454`.
