# confluence

This skill wires your agent into Confluence: pages, blog posts, spaces, tasks and attachments. Handy when docs need to be read or written without leaving the terminal.

## What it does

The skill gives an agent access to Confluence data through the Membrane CLI. It ships a set of ready actions: list pages, blog posts, spaces, comments and attachments, plus create, update and delete for those objects. Tasks are covered too — status, assignee and due date can be changed.

Setup goes like this: install `@membranehq/cli`, run `membrane login`, then create a connection with `membrane connection ensure` pointing at your Confluence URL. Membrane handles authentication and refreshes credentials on its own. From there the agent searches for an action with `membrane action list` and runs it via `membrane action run`. If no action fits, requests go straight to the Confluence API through Membrane's proxy.

You need a Membrane account — the free tier is supported — and network access. In a headless environment the login command prints an authorization URL: the user opens it in a browser, then finishes with `membrane login complete <code>`. Worth remembering if the agent runs on a server with no browser.

## Requirements
- Works with: Confluence

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill confluence -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/confluence/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/confluence/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill confluence -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/confluence/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill confluence -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/confluence/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install membranedev/application-skills confluence
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/confluence/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill confluence -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills --path skills/confluence
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/confluence/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add membranedev/application-skills --skill confluence -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/confluence/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pull a list of pages from a Confluence space
- create a documentation page in a given space
- update a task's status or reassign it
- gather comments and attachments for one page
- publish a blog post from the agent

## Example prompts
- list all pages in the DOCS space
- create a release notes page in the ENG space
- update the task status by ID and assign a new owner

# Confluence

Confluence is a team collaboration and document management tool. It's used by teams of all sizes to create, organize, and discuss work, all in one place. Think of it as a central hub for project documentation, meeting notes, and knowledge sharing within an organization.

Official docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/

## Confluence Overview

- **Space**
  - **Page**
    - **Attachment**
- **Blog Post**

When to use which actions: Use action names and parameters as needed.

## Working with Confluence

This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Confluence. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.

### Install the CLI

Install the Membrane CLI so you can run `membrane` from the terminal:

```bash
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
```

### Authentication

```bash
membrane login --tenant --clientName=<agentType>
```

This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available.

**Headless environments:** The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with:

```bash
membrane login complete <code>
```

Add `--json` to any command for machine-readable JSON output.

**Agent Types** : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness

### Connecting to Confluence

Use `membrane connection ensure` to find or create a connection by app URL or domain:

```bash
membrane connection ensure "https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence" --json
```
The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id.

This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically.

If the returned connection has `state: "READY"`, skip to **Step 2**.

#### 1b. Wait for the connection to be ready

If the connection is in `BUILDING` state, poll until it's ready:

```bash
npx @membranehq/cli connection get <id> --wait --json
```
