twg-confluence

Use with the root twg skill whenever Confluence is the source of truth or a

Confluence mutation is required. This skill owns content-type, hierarchy,

format, and concurrency semantics; exact command grammar comes from live help.

CLI launcher fallback

Run twg <command>. On shell command not found, use $HOME/.local/bin/twg

(macOS/Linux) / $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\twg\bin\twg.exe (PowerShell), then

tell user to add that directory to PATH. Do not treat auth or command errors as

PATH failures.

Use When

  • A Confluence URL, content ID, space key, page title, or CQL expression is the

primary anchor.

  • The user asks to create, edit, move, copy, comment on, export, archive, or

organize Confluence content.

  • A workflow needs authoritative page bodies, hierarchy, versions,

permissions, or space metadata.

Do not load this skill merely because a Confluence page is one supporting link

inside a broader workflow.

First Route

| Intent | Route |

| --- | --- |

| Known content ID or URL | confluence content get |

| Exact Confluence filtering | Confluence search with CQL |

| Fuzzy page/topic discovery | Cross-product search, then native get |

| Create or update content | Unified confluence content surface |

| Space metadata/lifecycle | confluence space |

| Hierarchy | confluence tree |

| Export | Word returns a download directly; PDF requires export-status polling |

Use twg help describe "<exact path>" before an unfamiliar or consequential

mutation.

Confluence Semantics

  • Use the unified content surface for pages, blog posts, live docs,

whiteboards, databases, folders, comments, versions, history, permissions,

tasks, labels, and attachments when advertised.

  • For Confluence Share dialog access changes, treat General access as

restriction-state and Specific access rows as direct permissions:

Open / Can edit -> OPEN, Open / Can view -> EDIT_RESTRICTED,

Restricted -> VIEW_RESTRICTED; Specific Can edit -> update, and

Specific Can view -> read.

  • Use confluence space for spaces and confluence tree for hierarchy.
  • A stable URL may resolve directly, but exact help remains authoritative about

accepted ID, URL, site, and content-type forms.

  • Search snippets are discovery candidates. Read the selected content before

summarizing or editing it.

  • Page titles are supplied separately from bodies. Do not repeat the title as

the first body heading.

Safe Authoring And Editing

  • Before creating or editing content in a space, read that space's instructions

with confluence space instructions get --key <spaceKey> (or with

confluence space instructions get --id <spaceId>) and apply them while

authoring; see references/spaces.md. Absent or empty ⇒ author with defaults.

  • For an unspecified new internal "page," "doc," "write-up," "runbook," or

notes artifact, prefer a live doc.

  • Prefer a classic page for knowledge bases, customer-facing help, established

classic-page spaces, page-only operations, or explicit page requests.

  • For non-trivial edits, read current content, save the body locally, edit the

file, then update with the snapshot token.

  • Use the lossless HTML round trip when macros or exact storage representation

matter.

  • Use --dry-run only for explicit preview or validation requests, or for

unusually risky edits where direct execution was not requested.

  • Read back the content or space after mutation and report its URL.

Handoffs

  • Load twg-context-discovery for related Jira work, projects, goals, or

dependencies; load twg-responsibility-routing for people, ownership,

authority, or escalation.

  • Load twg-status-rollups when pages contribute to a broader status report.
  • Load twg-operational-health for runbooks, incidents, PIRs, or reliability

evidence.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take atlassian/twg-confluence from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
