What it does

Confluence is an agent skill from meain/dotfiles. Look up, read, create, update, search, and navigate Confluence pages using the confluence CLI. Use as fallback when Atlassian MCP tools are unavailable. Triggers: /confluence, "look up confluence page", "check confluence", "read confluence", "create confluence page", "update confluence page", "search confluence", "find in confluence", "confluence page", any Confluence page URL like https://veeam-vdc.atlassian.net/wiki/...

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Confluence. The repository describes itself as: If there is a shell, there is a way! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

“look up confluence page”
“check confluence”
“read confluence”
“/confluence”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Extract page ID from URL (/pages/) or use search/find to locate it
Run the appropriate command from the reference above
Present results: for reads show content, for searches show titles + IDs,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f469fb6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- veeam-vdc.atlassian.net
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Confluence loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash
```

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: confluence
description: Look up, read, create, update, search, and navigate Confluence pages using the confluence CLI. Use as fallback when Atlassian MCP tools are unavailable. Triggers: /confluence, "look up confluence page", "check confluence", "read confluence", "create confluence page", "update confluence page", "search confluence", "find in confluence", "confluence page", any Confluence page URL like https://veeam-vdc.atlassian.net/wiki/...

Confluence Page Management (CLI)

Use the confluence CLI to read, create, update, search, and navigate Confluence pages. This is the fallback when Atlassian MCP tools are not available.

Veeam Context

Confluence instance: veeam-vdc.atlassian.net
Common spaces: DP (Data Pipelines), VDC, ENG
Page URLs: https://veeam-vdc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/<SPACE>/pages/<pageId>

MCP-to-CLI Mapping

When Atlassian MCP tools (Cloud ID: cb1bcab7-9522-4cf1-b2ac-8b141ee24914) are unavailable, use these CLI equivalents:

MCP Tool	CLI Equivalent
`getConfluencePageDescendants(cloudId, pageId, depth=1)`	`confluence children --show-id <pageId>`
`searchConfluenceUsingCql` (e.g. `ancestor = <id>`)	`confluence search --cql "ancestor = <id>"`
`getConfluencePage(cloudId, pageId)`	`confluence read -f markdown <pageId>`
`createConfluencePage(cloudId, spaceId, title, parentId, body)`	`confluence create-child "<title>" <parentId> --format markdown -f <file>`
`updateConfluencePage(cloudId, pageId, title, body)`	`confluence update <pageId> --format markdown -f <file>`

Note on folder-type pages: MCP's getConfluencePageDescendants 404s on folder-type pages (e.g. Oncall Investigations root 1293025298). The CLI does not have this limitation — confluence children 1293025298 works fine.

confluence children --show-id <year-page-id>      # year -> month pages
confluence children --show-id <month-page-id>     # month -> day pages
confluence children --show-id <day-page-id>       # day -> report pages

Known page IDs (Oncall Investigations, may change over time):

Root folder: 1293025298
2026 year page: 1291845743
04-April month page: 1290961023

Content Formats

--format markdown — for creating/updating pages with markdown content
--format storage — Confluence storage format (HTML-like), needed for advanced layouts like full-width tables with data-layout="full-width"
When writing long content, write to a temp file first and use -f <file> to avoid shell escaping issues

Instructions

Extract page ID from URL (/pages/<pageId>) or use search/find to locate it
Run the appropriate command from the reference above
Present results: for reads show content, for searches show titles + IDs, for creates/updates confirm with the page URL

When should I use Confluence?

Confluence fits situations like: tasks that involve MCP servers.

How do I install Confluence in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add meain/dotfiles --skill confluence -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/.agents/skills/confluence in meain/dotfiles) into .claude/skills/confluence in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Confluence in Codex?

Run `npx skills add meain/dotfiles --skill confluence -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/.agents/skills/confluence in meain/dotfiles) into .agents/skills/confluence in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Confluence in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add meain/dotfiles --skill confluence -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/confluence, .gemini/skills/confluence, .github/skills/confluence and .opencode/skills/confluence in your project.

What does Confluence need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Confluence is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash.

Does Confluence access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: veeam-vdc.atlassian.net; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Confluence safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Confluence use?

Confluence is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Confluence use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Confluence?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Confluence: MCP Atlassian (sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills, 663 stars), Atlassian MCP Expert (Jeffallan/claude-skills, 12k stars), Markdown To Confluence (testdouble/han, 279 stars) and Confluence To Markdown (iurykrieger/claude-bedrock, 105 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Confluence?

meain (a GitHub user) maintains it in meain/dotfiles, which has 285 GitHub stars. The repository holds 36 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 5, 2026.
