Markdown To Confluence

Project Context

• personal config directory: !bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/han-config-dir.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude"
• project .han/config.md: !cat .han/config.md 2>/dev/null || echo ""

As your first action, use the Read tool on .han/config.md inside the personal config directory path above. A read that returns no file is no personal configuration: continue silently. When that file or the project .han/config.md probe supplies content, apply it per config-rule.md, which governs precedence between the two files, relative-path resolution, and what to do with a file that reads but cannot be used.

Markdown to Confluence

This skill takes one local Markdown file and publishes it to a Confluence location that the user must specify — creating a new page or updating an existing one through the Atlassian MCP server. It owns everything about the posting itself: the MCP preflight, resolving the destination, reading the file, the create-or-update call, and reporting the result. It does not write the Markdown; the caller supplies an existing file.

Callers that supply an explicit publish mode and location (for example han-atlassian:project-documentation-to-confluence) run this skill straight through without re-asking. Invoked on its own with pieces missing, it asks for them and defaults to a safe unpublished draft.

Step 0: Atlassian MCP Preflight (hard requirement)

This skill cannot run without a configured and connected Atlassian MCP server.

Confirm the server is reachable by calling mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getAccessibleAtlassianResources to retrieve the cloud ID(s). If the tool is not available, the call errors, or it returns no accessible resources (typically an authentication or configuration problem), stop immediately. Tell the user this skill requires the Atlassian MCP server to be installed, configured, and authenticated, and that they can re-run the skill once it is connected.

If more than one cloud / site is accessible, note which sites are available; you will confirm the correct one while resolving the location in Step 2.

Step 1: Confirm the Source Markdown File

Resolve the Markdown file path from the arguments or conversation. Read it and confirm it exists and has content. If no file path was provided, or the path does not resolve to a readable file, ask the user for the path with AskUserQuestion and do not proceed without one. This is the exact content that will be posted; do not rewrite, summarize, or restructure it.

A body may legitimately contain embedded Confluence storage macros mixed into the Markdown — for example, an orchestrating skill such as han-atlassian:plan-a-feature-to-confluence rewrites its cross-page links into title-based page-link macros (the <ac:link><ri:page ri:content-title="..."/>…</ac:link> form, link body included) before handing the file over. Post these verbatim along with the rest of the body; do not strip or escape them.

Step 2: Resolve the Target Confluence Location (required)

This skill does not search Confluence for the right place. A typical Confluence instance is large and full of duplicate or similarly-named pages, so guessing the destination is unreliable. The user must name the exact location.

1. Find a location in the request. Check the arguments and conversation for either of:
   • a Confluence page URL (to update that page, or to create a child page under it), or
   • a space (key or name) plus an optional parent page (title, ID, or URL).
2. If no location was provided, ask for one. Use AskUserQuestion to request it, and explain plainly that the skill needs an exact destination because it does not search Confluence. Offer both accepted forms (a page URL, or a space plus parent page). This is required: do not proceed without a location.
3. Resolve the location concretely now, so failures surface early. Use the cloud ID from Step 0 for every call.
   • From a page URL: extract the page ID from the /pages/<id>/ segment and call mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getConfluencePage to confirm it exists and to read its space and title. Then determine the intent: update that page, or create a new child page under it. If the user did not already say, ask with AskUserQuestion.
   • From a space (+ parent): call mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getConfluenceSpaces to resolve the space ID from the key or name. If a parent page was named, find it with mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getPagesInConfluenceSpace or mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getConfluencePageDescendants (or by page ID/URL) to get the parent page ID. With no parent, the new page is created at the space root.
4. Record the resolved target: cloud ID, space (ID + human name), parent page ID (if any), existing page ID (if updating), the mode (create a new page, or update an existing one), and the intended page title. If updating, default the title to the existing page's title unless the user asked to rename it.

Step 3: Determine the Publish Mode

The publish mode controls whether the page goes live or is saved as an unpublished draft.

• If the caller supplied an explicit mode (draft or live), use it. A caller that already confirmed the choice with the user (such as han-atlassian:project-documentation-to-confluence) passes the mode through; do not ask again.
• If no mode was supplied, default to draft so nothing is published live unintentionally. The user can re-run for live, or you may confirm with AskUserQuestion whether to save a draft (recommended default) or publish live now.

Step 4: Publish to Confluence

Read the Markdown file from Step 1 and publish it with the Atlassian MCP server. The Confluence MCP tools accept Markdown directly via contentFormat: "markdown", so post the document body as-is — no manual conversion to storage/XHTML is needed. Any embedded storage macros (such as the ac:link page-link macros described in Step 1) ride along in the same body; post them verbatim.

Apply the publish mode from Step 3 with the create/update tool's status parameter: draft → status: "draft" (unpublished draft), live → status: "current" (immediately visible). Confirm the exact field against the tool's input schema when you call it, and use whatever the tool exposes for draft-vs-published.

• Create mode: call mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__createConfluencePage with the cloud ID, space ID, title, the markdown body, contentFormat: "markdown", the chosen status ("draft" or "current"), and the parent page ID when one was resolved.
• Update mode: call mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__getConfluencePage first to read the current page (for its version and existing content), then call mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__updateConfluencePage with the cloud ID, page ID, title, the markdown body, contentFormat: "markdown", and the chosen status. If the user chose draft for a page that is already published and the tool cannot hold an unpublished draft over a live page, do not silently publish it live: tell the user, and ask whether to publish the update live or keep the changes local only.

Diagram note: Markdown produced by Han's documentation skills emits Mermaid diagrams in fenced mermaid code blocks. Confluence does not render Mermaid natively without a Mermaid macro, so these blocks publish as code, not rendered diagrams. Leave them intact — do not silently strip them — and tell the user the diagrams posted as Mermaid source, in case their space has a macro that renders them or they want to convert them by hand.

On success, report the created or updated page's URL, and state whether it was published live or saved as a draft. For a draft, make clear the user still needs to review and publish it in Confluence. On failure, report the error and confirm the source Markdown file is unchanged and intact.

Step 5: Verification

1. MCP preflight passed: the Atlassian server was reachable, or the skill stopped before doing any work.
2. Source file confirmed: a readable Markdown file was supplied and read.
3. Location was user-specified: the destination came from the user, never from an automated Confluence search.
4. Publish reported: the page was created or updated in the chosen mode (live or draft) and its URL was returned.
