# twg-confluence

Use with root `twg` when Confluence is the primary source or mutation target.
This skill owns content-type, hierarchy, format, and concurrency semantics;
live help owns exact command grammar.

## 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

- Use for Confluence-anchored content or space reads and mutations, including
  CQL, bodies, hierarchy, versions, permissions, and exports.
- Do not load for a supporting Confluence link in a broader workflow.

## First Route

| Intent                           | Route                                                                                  |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Known content ID or URL          | `confluence content get`                                                               |
| Exact Confluence filtering       | Confluence search with CQL                                                             |
| Date-filtered page/blogpost list | `confluence search query --cql` with `lastmodified`; `content list` has no date filter |
| 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 content operations advertised by live
  help; use `confluence space` for spaces and `confluence tree` for hierarchy.
- 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.
- Remix create returns an asset, not a page embed. Embed via the loaded HTML
  guide and read back the page; an ID/URL is not proof.
- Maui create uses `--content-id` only for ownership/embedding, not page
  reading. Read source first; include values, labels, narrative, and
  visualization instructions in the prompt. "This page" is insufficient.
- To download a persisted Remix infographic, use the existing attachment
  commands. List the owning page's attachments with
  `confluence content attachments list --id <content-id> --filename <media-file-id>`,
  then pass the matching result's attachment `id` to
  `confluence content attachments download --attachment-id <attachment-id> --out <path>`.
  Do not pass `mediaFileId` directly as `--attachment-id`; the two IDs are different.

## Safe Authoring And Editing

- Treat user authorization and CLI confirmation as separate checks for archive,
  trash, and purge. The CLI requirement to pass `--yes` is an execution
  preflight, not evidence that the user authorized the mutation. Use `--yes`
  only after the user explicitly named the mutation and the exact target or a
  previously displayed bounded target set.
- Explicit instructions such as "archive page XYZ" or "archive those 15 pages"
  after a concrete list authorize execution without another confirmation.
  Vague outcome language such as "clean up", "organize", "remove clutter", or
  "take care of" does not authorize archive, trash, or purge.
- If the mutation or targets were inferred, read and resolve the proposed
  targets, present the exact action and bounded target list, and wait for the
  user to affirm that mutation. Do not generalize approval from a similar prior
  action. `trash` does not authorize an additional permanent purge.
- Before authoring, read and apply the target space's instructions once per
  space per session; see `references/spaces.md`. Empty instructions mean defaults.
- Prefer `live_doc` for collaborative or co-authored internal content when the
  target supports it. Bare "page" or "doc" creation also defaults to live docs.
- Use `page` for explicit classic/non-live intent, knowledge bases, customer
  help, established classic-page spaces, or page-only operations. Preserve an
  existing target's type; a classic parent or reference does not set a new
  child's type.
- 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/validation requests, or 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.
- Load `twg-space-creation` to create or clone a whole space.
