twg-confluence

Use with root twg for Confluence-focused work, not a supporting link in a broader workflow. Live help owns 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.

First Route

Use twg help describe "<exact path>" before an unfamiliar or consequential mutation.

Confluence Semantics

Pagination.

• Search snippets are discovery candidates. Read the selected content before summarizing or editing it.
• confluence content get and content versions list --id are single-page. Use CQL for list metadata. For reading or summarizing known pages, fetch each once with confluence content get <id-or-url> --detail full --format md -o json. Read data.body for text and conversion warnings; use output_files.stdout when compact output omits the text. Reuse it for summaries and saved files.
• Markdown can drop status markers, macros, and table details. If data.body.lossyConversion is true, read that page once in --format html before drawing conclusions from missing content. Use HTML first for editing or known rich content. Never infer a missing status from surrounding prose.
• Do not use docs get to read page bodies. It only looks within a user's document activity window and may miss pages the user can access.
• 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 not enough.

Safe Authoring And Editing

• Treat user authorization and CLI confirmation as separate checks for archive, trash, and purge. Passing --yes is an execution preflight, not evidence the user authorized the mutation. Use --yes only after the user 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 language such as "clean up", "organize", or "take care of" does not authorize archive, trash, or purge.
• If the mutation or targets were inferred, resolve the proposed targets, present the exact action and bounded target list, and wait for the user to affirm it. Do not generalize approval from a similar prior action; trash does not authorize a permanent purge.
• Before authoring, apply the target space's instructions once per space per session; see references/spaces.md. Empty instructions mean defaults.
• Prefer live_doc for collaborative internal content where supported. 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 does not set a 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 matter.
• Use --dry-run only for explicit preview 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; 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, or PIRs.
• Load twg-space-creation to create or clone a whole space.
