What is a Skill?

A skill is an instruction manual that teaches Claude Code how to use MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools effectively. Think of it this way:

• MCP Server (Atlassian MCP) = The tool that provides access to Confluence APIs
• Skill (this repository) = The instruction manual that guides Claude on best practices, conversion patterns, and workflows for using that tool

Claude Code can discover and use MCP tools automatically, but skills provide the critical context, workflows, and domain expertise that make interactions efficient, reliable, and consistent with documentation best practices.

How This Skill Works

This skill works hand-in-glove with the Atlassian MCP server (mcp__atlassian-evinova). The MCP provides raw access to Confluence's API capabilities, while this skill provides:

• Format conversion expertise for Markdown to Wiki Markup transformations
• Diagram rendering workflows for Mermaid to PNG/SVG conversion
• CQL query construction guidance and examples
• mark CLI integration for Git-to-Confluence synchronization
• Best practices for page creation, updates, and content organization
• Troubleshooting guides for common errors and edge cases

When you ask Claude Code to work with Confluence, this skill ensures operations follow proven patterns, handle format conversions correctly, and maintain documentation quality.

Installation Levels

This skill can be installed at multiple levels depending on your organizational structure and needs:

1. Global Installation (User Level)

Install in your home directory for use across all projects:

~/.claude/skills/confluence/

Use case: You work with a single Confluence instance across all projects.

2. Project-Level Installation

Install within a specific project directory:

/path/to/project/.claude/skills/confluence/

Use case: Project-specific Confluence configuration, custom templates, or documentation workflows that differ from other projects.

3. Workspace-Level Installation

Install at a workspace directory that groups multiple related projects:

~/workspace/acme-corp/.claude/skills/confluence/
~/workspace/tech-startup/.claude/skills/confluence/

Use case:

• Client-based workspaces: Different documentation standards for different clients
• Department-based workspaces: Engineering vs Product vs Support documentation patterns
• Company-based workspaces: Multiple clients with different Confluence instances

Installation Priority

Claude Code follows this priority order when loading skills:

1. Project-level (.claude/skills/ in current directory)
2. Workspace-level (.claude/skills/ in parent directories)
3. Global-level (~/.claude/skills/ in home directory)

This allows project-specific customizations to override workspace or global defaults.

---

Multi-Instance Confluence Support

For organizations that need to connect to multiple Confluence instances (multiple clients, acquisitions, different departments), you can configure the Atlassian MCP at different levels using .mcp.json files.

Example: Multiple Client Workspaces

Scenario: You're a consultant managing documentation for multiple clients, each with their own Atlassian instance.

# Client 1 workspace
~/clients/acme-industries/
├── .mcp.json                     # Confluence config for acme-industries.atlassian.net
├── .claude/
│   ├── skills/confluence/        # Client-specific templates (optional)
│   └── settings.local.json
├── project-alpha/
│   └── docs/
└── project-beta/
    └── docs/

# Client 2 workspace
~/clients/globex-corp/
├── .mcp.json                     # Confluence config for globex.atlassian.net
├── .claude/
│   ├── skills/confluence/        # Client-specific templates (optional)
│   └── settings.local.json
├── web-app/
│   └── documentation/
└── mobile-app/
    └── documentation/

Example: Department-Based Workspaces

Scenario: Large organization with different Confluence spaces per department.

# Engineering workspace
~/workspaces/engineering/
├── .mcp.json                     # Confluence config focused on DEV space
├── .claude/skills/confluence/    # Engineering documentation patterns
├── backend-services/
│   └── docs/
└── frontend-apps/
    └── docs/

# Product workspace
~/workspaces/product/
├── .mcp.json                     # Confluence config focused on PRODUCT space
├── .claude/skills/confluence/    # Product documentation patterns
├── feature-specs/
└── roadmap/

.mcp.json Configuration

Each workspace can have its own .mcp.json file with Confluence credentials:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-evinova": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlassian"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://acme-industries.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "CONFLUENCE_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
        "CONFLUENCE_SPACES_FILTER": "DEV,API,DOCS"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Priority

Claude Code uses this priority for .mcp.json files:

1. Project directory (most specific)
2. Workspace directory (parent directories)
3. Global config (~/.claude/mcp.json)

This allows you to:

• Connect to different Confluence instances per workspace
• Use different credentials per client/department
• Override global Confluence settings for specific projects
• Maintain separate Confluence configurations without conflicts

---

Prerequisites

Required MCP Server

The Atlassian MCP server must be configured in Claude Code:

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-atlassian

Configure in ~/.claude/mcp.json or workspace-level .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-evinova": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlassian"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "CONFLUENCE_EMAIL": "[email protected]",
        "CONFLUENCE_SPACES_FILTER": "DEV,DOCS"
      }
    }
  }
}

Confluence API Token

Generate a Confluence API token:

1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
2. Click "Create API token"
3. Copy the token and add to your .mcp.json configuration

Permissions

Ensure your Confluence account has appropriate permissions for:

• Creating/updating pages
• Searching content
• Managing spaces
• Adding labels and comments
• Uploading attachments

Optional Tools

For full functionality, install these optional tools:

# mark CLI for Git-to-Confluence synchronization
brew install kovetskiy/mark/mark
# OR
go install github.com/kovetskiy/mark@latest

# Mermaid CLI for diagram rendering
npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

# Additional conversion tools (optional)
npm install -g markdown2confluence

---

Quick Start

1. Install the Skill

Using skilz (recommended):

pip install skilz
skilz install -g https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill

Or manually:

# Global installation
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/
cd ~/.claude/skills/
git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill confluence

# OR workspace installation
mkdir -p ~/workspace/acme-corp/.claude/skills/
cd ~/workspace/acme-corp/.claude/skills/
git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill confluence

# OR project installation
mkdir -p /path/to/project/.claude/skills/
cd /path/to/project/.claude/skills/
git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill confluence

2. Configure Atlassian MCP

Create or update .mcp.json at the appropriate level:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlassian-evinova": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-atlassian"],
      "env": {
        "CONFLUENCE_URL": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here",
        "CONFLUENCE_EMAIL": "[email protected]"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start Using Confluence with Claude Code

Simply ask Claude Code to work with Confluence:

"Create a Confluence page from this Markdown document in the DEV space"
"Search Confluence for pages about API authentication"
"Convert this Wiki Markup to Markdown"
"Update the 'Getting Started' page with this new content"
"Render these Mermaid diagrams and upload to Confluence"

Claude Code will automatically:

• Validate space keys
• Convert between Markdown and Wiki Markup
• Render Mermaid diagrams to images
• Construct proper CQL queries
• Handle page hierarchies
• Follow best practices from this skill

---

Uploading Markdown to Confluence

The skill includes a powerful upload script (scripts/upload_confluence.py) that converts Markdown files to Confluence pages.

Quick Upload Examples

Smart upload (reads metadata from frontmatter):

python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/upload_confluence.py page.md

Update specific page by ID:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/upload_confluence.py page.md --id 450855912

Create new page in a space:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/upload_confluence.py page.md --space ARCP --parent-id 123456

Preview without uploading:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/upload_confluence.py page.md --dry-run

Download, Edit, Upload Workflow

The most powerful feature is the seamless workflow for updating existing pages:

# 1. Download a page (gets frontmatter with all metadata)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/download_confluence.py 450855912

# 2. Edit the markdown file locally
vim Data_Source_Registry_Manager_API.md

# 3. Upload changes (reads everything from frontmatter - zero configuration!)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts/upload_confluence.py Data_Source_Registry_Manager_API.md

The frontmatter from the download contains:

• Page ID (for updates)
• Space key
• Current version number (auto-increments)
• Parent page ID
• Title

Mermaid Diagram Support

Mermaid diagrams in your Markdown are automatically rendered to SVG images and uploaded as attachments:

## Architecture Diagram

```mermaid
graph TD
    A[Client] --> B[Server]
    B --> C[Database]
```

Requirements:

npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

Credential Discovery

The upload script searches for credentials in this order:

1. Environment variables (CONFLUENCE_URL, CONFLUENCE_USERNAME, CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN)
2. .env in current directory
3. .env.confluence in current directory
4. .env.jira in current directory
5. .env.atlassian in current directory
6. Walk up parent directories for above files
7. MCP config (~/.config/mcp/.mcp.json)

Create a .env file with your credentials:

CONFLUENCE_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
[email protected]
CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

See examples/.env.confluence.example for a template.

Upload CLI Options

usage: upload_confluence.py [-h] [--id PAGE_ID] [--space SPACE] [--title TITLE]
                            [--parent-id PARENT_ID] [--ignore-frontmatter]
                            [--dry-run] [--env-file ENV_FILE]
                            [--update-frontmatter] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]
                            file

positional arguments:
  file                  Markdown file to upload

options:
  --id PAGE_ID          Page ID (for updates)
  --space SPACE         Space key (required for new pages)
  --title TITLE         Page title (overrides frontmatter/H1)
  --parent-id PARENT_ID Parent page ID (specify parent to move page)
  --ignore-frontmatter  Ignore parent_id in frontmatter (update page in place without moving)
  --dry-run             Preview without uploading
  --env-file ENV_FILE   Path to .env file with credentials
  --update-frontmatter  Update markdown file frontmatter after upload
  --output-dir OUTPUT_DIR Directory for generated diagrams

Parent Relationship Control (IMPORTANT)

The script's handling of parent relationships requires attention during migrations:

• Default behavior: Uses parent.id from YAML frontmatter if present
• --ignore-frontmatter: Ignores frontmatter parent, updates content only
• --parent-id: Explicitly sets parent (overrides frontmatter)
• Combined: --ignore-frontmatter --parent-id X = full control

Common Scenarios:

# Content-only update (no parent change)
python3 upload_confluence.py --id 123456 --ignore-frontmatter page.md

# Content update + explicit move to new parent
python3 upload_confluence.py --id 123456 --parent-id 789012 --ignore-frontmatter page.md

# Use frontmatter parent (legacy behavior)
python3 upload_confluence.py --id 123456 page.md

Critical Warning: When restoring content from backup files after moving pages, always use --ignore-frontmatter to prevent inadvertent moves back to original parents. See PARENT_RELATIONSHIP_GUIDE.md for details.

Frontmatter Example

When you download a page, it includes complete metadata:

---
title: Data Source Registry Manager API
confluence:
  id: '450855912'
  space: ARCP
  type: page
  version: 2
confluence_url: https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ARCP/pages/450855912
parent:
  id: '438862162'
  title: PDR Components
  file: PDR_Components.md
breadcrumb:
  - id: '205127682'
    title: Platform Home
  - id: '438862162'
    title: PDR Components
  - id: '450855912'
    title: Data Source Registry Manager API
exported_at: '2025-11-06 12:03:44'
exported_by: confluence_downloader
---

On upload, the script:

• Reads confluence.id to update existing page
• Reads confluence.version to auto-increment to version 3
• Reads confluence.space to use for creation if no ID
• Reads parent.id to set parent page relationship

Script Installation

Install Python dependencies:

cd ~/.claude/skills/confluence/scripts
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Optional (for Mermaid diagrams):

npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli

"Convert this Markdown document with Mermaid diagrams to Confluence"
"Create a page under 'Documentation' parent with this content"

Searching Confluence

"Search Confluence for pages about authentication in the DEV space"
"Find all pages labeled 'api' created this month"
"Show me pages in DEV space modified in the last 7 days"

Format Conversion

"Convert this Wiki Markup to Markdown"
"Convert this Markdown to Confluence format"
"Show me how to write a table in Wiki Markup"

Diagram Rendering

"Render this Mermaid diagram and create a Confluence page"

"Create a page with this flowchart diagram"

Git-to-Confluence Sync

"Add mark metadata to this Markdown file for syncing to DEV space"
"Help me sync this docs/ folder to Confluence using mark"
"Set up CI/CD to sync Markdown docs to Confluence"

Updating Pages

"Update the 'Getting Started' page in DEV space with this new content"
"Find and update the authentication guide with these changes"
"Add this section to the API documentation page"

---

Best Practices

1. Validate Space Keys

Always verify space keys before operations:

"What Confluence spaces are available?"

2. Use Proper Page Hierarchies

Organize content with parent-child relationships:

"Create this page under 'Documentation > API Guides' in DEV space"

3. Apply Consistent Labels

Use labels for organization and discovery:

"Create this page with labels: api, documentation, authentication"

4. Test Conversions on Samples

Verify format conversions before bulk operations:

"Convert this small section first to verify the formatting"

5. Keep Diagram Sources in Git

Always commit .mmd files alongside Markdown:

docs/
├── architecture.md
└── diagrams/
    ├── architecture-overview.mmd
    └── data-flow.mmd

6. Use mark for Documentation-as-Code

Automate Confluence updates from Git:

"Set up mark CLI to sync this repository's docs to Confluence"

7. Add Version Comments

Track changes with meaningful version comments:

"Update this page with version comment: Updated API authentication flow"

---

Troubleshooting

"Space not found"

• Use "What Confluence spaces are available?" to see available spaces
• Check CONFLUENCE_SPACES_FILTER environment variable in .mcp.json
• Verify space key is exact (case-sensitive)

"Permission denied"

• Check Confluence permissions for your account
• Verify API token is valid and not expired
• Ensure you have edit permissions in the target space

Format conversion issues

• Review conversion guide for edge cases
• Test problematic sections separately
• Check for unsupported Markdown extensions
• Verify nested formatting is properly structured

Mermaid rendering fails

• Verify mermaid-cli is installed: mmdc --version
• Test diagram syntax at https://mermaid.live
• Check for syntax errors in diagram code
• Try SVG format if PNG fails

mark CLI sync issues

• Verify mark is installed: mark --version
• Check metadata headers are properly formatted
• Test with --dry-run first
• Ensure base_url includes /wiki suffix
• Verify API token matches the instance

Multiple Confluence instances

• Verify correct .mcp.json is loaded for workspace/project
• Check CONFLUENCE_URL in environment configuration
• Ensure API token matches the Confluence instance
• Use workspace isolation to prevent conflicts
