# Confluence Page Skill

Manage Confluence pages and blog posts through natural language commands.

---

## ⚠️ PRIMARY USE CASE

**This is the core skill for all page and blog post operations.** Use this skill whenever you need to:
- Create, read, update, or delete pages
- Create or manage blog posts
- Copy or move pages between spaces
- Access or restore version history

---

## When to Use This Skill

| Trigger | Example |
|---------|---------|
| Page CRUD | "Create a page", "Get page 12345", "Update the page", "Delete this page" |
| Blog posts | "Create a blog post", "Get blog 67890" |
| Copy/Move | "Copy page to ARCHIVE", "Move page under parent 12345" |
| Versions | "Show version history", "Restore to version 5" |
| Content from files | "Create page from markdown file", "Update page from content.md" |

---

## When NOT to Use This Skill

| Operation | Use Instead |
|-----------|-------------|
| Search for pages | `confluence-search` |
| Add comments to pages | `confluence-comment` |
| Upload attachments | `confluence-attachment` |
| Add/remove labels | `confluence-label` |
| Set page restrictions | `confluence-permission` |
| View page analytics | `confluence-analytics` |
| Watch/unwatch pages | `confluence-watch` |
| Navigate page hierarchy | `confluence-hierarchy` |

---

## Risk Levels

| Operation | Risk | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| Get page | - | Read-only |
| Create page | - | Easily deletable |
| Update page | ⚠️ | Creates version history, reversible |
| Copy page | - | Creates new page |
| Move page | ⚠️ | Can be moved back |
| Delete page | ⚠️⚠️ | Goes to trash, recoverable for 30 days |
| Permanent delete | ⚠️⚠️⚠️ | **IRREVERSIBLE** |

---

## Overview

This skill handles all CRUD operations for Confluence pages and blog posts, including:
- Creating new pages and blog posts
- Reading page content and metadata
- Updating page content, title, and status
- Deleting pages (trash or permanent)
- Copying and moving pages
- Version history and restoration

## CLI Commands

**Output format tip:** A global `-o/--output` flag placed before the subcommand (e.g. `confluence-as -o json page get 12345`) sets the default output format for all subcommands; an explicit subcommand-level `--output` wins.

### confluence-as page create

Create a new Confluence page.

**Usage:**
```bash
# Create a simple page
confluence-as page create --space DOCS --title "My New Page" --body "Page content here"

- `--space, -s` - Space key (required)
- `--title, -t` - Page title (required)

## Examples

### Natural Language Triggers

- "Create a new page called 'Meeting Notes' in the DOCS space"
- "Get the content of page 12345"
- "Update page 12345 with this content: [content]"
- "Delete the page with ID 12345"
- "Create a blog post titled 'Sprint Review' in TEAM space"
- "Copy page 12345 to the ARCHIVE space"
- "Move page 12345 under parent page 67890"
- "Show me the version history for page 12345"
- "Restore page 12345 to version 3"

### Common Workflows

**Create a page from natural language:**
```
User: Create a page called "API Documentation" in DOCS space with content explaining our REST API
```

---

## Common Pitfalls

### 1. Page ID vs Page Title
- **Problem**: Trying to use page title when page ID is required
- **Solution**: Use `confluence-as search cql "title = 'Page Name'"` to find the page ID first

### 2. Version Conflicts
- **Problem**: Update fails due to concurrent edits (409 Conflict)
- **Solution**: Get the latest version, merge changes, retry update

### 3. Missing Parent Page
- **Problem**: Creating a child page with invalid parent ID
- **Solution**: Verify parent exists with `confluence-as page get PARENT_ID`

### 4. Content Format Mismatch
- **Problem**: Body content not rendering correctly
- **Solution**: Use `--file` with Markdown, or ensure proper storage format (XHTML)

### 5. Space Key Format
- **Problem**: Space key not found or rejected
- **Solution**: Keys must start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, and underscores; the CLI uppercases lowercase input automatically (`docs` becomes `DOCS`)

### 6. Permanent Delete Recovery
- **Problem**: Accidentally used `--permanent` flag
- **Solution**: **No recovery possible** - always use trash (default) first

### 7. Blog Post Update/Delete
- **Problem**: Trying to update or delete a blog post using page commands
- **Solution**: Blog posts currently only support `create` and `get` operations via CLI. Update/delete must be done via Confluence UI.

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|-------|-------|------------|
| **404 Not Found** | Page ID doesn't exist or was deleted | Verify page ID, check trash |
| **403 Forbidden** | No permission to access/modify page | Request space access, check restrictions |
| **409 Conflict** | Concurrent edit detected | Refresh page, merge changes, retry |
| **400 Bad Request** | Invalid content format or parameters | Check body format, verify arguments |
| **413 Content Too Large** | Page body exceeds size limit | Split content across multiple pages |

**Note:** Confluence reports a missing create-page permission as HTTP 404. `confluence-as page create` detects this case and reports it as a permission error instead of "not found".

### Recovery from Errors

**Deleted page recovery:**
```bash
# Pages go to trash by default (recoverable for 30 days)
# Use Confluence UI: Space Settings > Content Tools > Trash > Restore
```

**Version recovery:**
```bash
# Check version history
confluence-as page versions 12345

# Restore previous version
confluence-as page restore 12345 --version 5
```

**Permission issues:**
```bash
# Check page restrictions
confluence-as permission page get 12345

# Check space permissions
confluence-as permission space get SPACE_KEY
```
