Confluence Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/confluence-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Confluence Automation via Rube MCP Automate Confluence operations including page creation and updates, content search with CQL, space management, label tagging, and page hierarchy navigation through Composio's Confluence toolkit.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Confluence page creation, content search, space management, labels, and hierarchy navigation via Rube MCP (Composio). Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBESEARCHTOOLS responds
2. Call RUBEMANAGECONNECTIONS with toolkit confluence
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Confluence OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
5. CONFLUENCEGETSPACES - List spaces to find the target space ID [Prerequisite]
6. CONFLUENCESEARCHCONTENT - Find existing page to avoid duplicates or locate parent [Optional]
7. CONFLUENCEGETPAGEBYID - Get current page content and version number before updating [Prerequisite for updates]

Imported Workflow Notes

3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Confluence OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Create and Update Pages

When to use: User wants to create new documentation or update existing Confluence pages

Tool sequence:

1. CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACES - List spaces to find the target space ID [Prerequisite]
2. CONFLUENCE_SEARCH_CONTENT - Find existing page to avoid duplicates or locate parent [Optional]
3. CONFLUENCE_GET_PAGE_BY_ID - Get current page content and version number before updating [Prerequisite for updates]
4. CONFLUENCE_CREATE_PAGE - Create a new page in a space [Required for creation]
5. CONFLUENCE_UPDATE_PAGE - Update an existing page with new content and incremented version [Required for updates]
6. CONFLUENCE_ADD_CONTENT_LABEL - Tag the page with labels after creation [Optional]

Key parameters:

• spaceId: Space ID or key (e.g., "DOCS", "12345678") -- space keys are auto-converted to IDs
• title: Page title (must be unique within a space)
• parentId: Parent page ID for creating child pages; omit to place under space homepage
• body.storage.value: HTML/XHTML content in Confluence storage format
• body.storage.representation: Must be "storage" for create operations
• version.number: For updates, must be current version + 1
• version.message: Optional change description

Pitfalls:

• Confluence enforces unique page titles per space; creating a page with a duplicate title will fail
• UPDATE_PAGE requires version.number set to current version + 1; always fetch current version first with GET_PAGE_BY_ID
• Content must be in Confluence storage format (XHTML), not plain text or Markdown
• CREATE_PAGE uses body.storage.value while UPDATE_PAGE uses body.value with body.representation
• GET_PAGE_BY_ID requires a numeric long ID, not a UUID or string

2. Search Content

When to use: User wants to find pages, blog posts, or content across Confluence

Tool sequence:

1. CONFLUENCE_SEARCH_CONTENT - Keyword search with intelligent relevance ranking [Required]
2. CONFLUENCE_CQL_SEARCH - Advanced search using Confluence Query Language [Alternative]
3. CONFLUENCE_GET_PAGE_BY_ID - Hydrate full content for selected search results [Optional]
4. CONFLUENCE_GET_PAGES - Browse pages sorted by date when search relevance is weak [Fallback]

Key parameters for SEARCH_CONTENT:

• query: Search text matched against page titles with intelligent ranking
• spaceKey: Limit search to a specific space
• limit: Max results (default 25, max 250)
• start: Pagination offset (0-based)

Key parameters for CQL_SEARCH:

• cql: CQL query string (e.g., text ~ "API docs" AND space = DOCS AND type = page)
• expand: Comma-separated properties (e.g., content.space, content.body.storage)
• excerpt: highlight, indexed, or none
• limit: Max results (max 250; reduced to 25-50 when using body expansions)

CQL operators and fields:

• Fields: text, title, label, space, type, creator, lastModified, created, ancestor
• Operators: =, !=, ~ (contains), !~, >, <, >=, <=, IN, NOT IN
• Functions: currentUser(), now("-7d"), now("-30d")
• Example: title ~ "meeting" AND lastModified > now("-7d") ORDER BY lastModified DESC

Pitfalls:

• CONFLUENCE_SEARCH_CONTENT fetches up to 300 pages and applies client-side filtering -- not a true full-text search
• CONFLUENCE_CQL_SEARCH is the real full-text search; use text ~ "term" for content body search
• HTTP 429 rate limits can occur; throttle to ~2 requests/second with backoff
• Using body expansions in CQL_SEARCH may reduce max results to 25-50
• Search indexing is not immediate; recently created pages may not appear

3. Manage Spaces

When to use: User wants to list, create, or inspect Confluence spaces

Tool sequence:

1. CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACES - List all spaces with optional filtering [Required]
2. CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACE_BY_ID - Get detailed metadata for a specific space [Optional]
3. CONFLUENCE_CREATE_SPACE - Create a new space with key and name [Optional]
4. CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACE_PROPERTIES - Retrieve custom metadata stored as space properties [Optional]
5. CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACE_CONTENTS - List pages, blog posts, or attachments in a space [Optional]
6. CONFLUENCE_GET_LABELS_FOR_SPACE - List labels on a space [Optional]

Key parameters:

• key: Space key -- alphanumeric only, no underscores or hyphens (e.g., DOCS, PROJECT1)
• name: Human-readable space name
• type: global or personal
• status: current (active) or archived
• spaceKey: For GET_SPACE_CONTENTS, filters by space key
• id: Numeric space ID for GET_SPACE_BY_ID (NOT the space key)

Pitfalls:

• Space keys must be alphanumeric only (no underscores, hyphens, or special characters)
• GET_SPACE_BY_ID requires numeric space ID, not the space key; use GET_SPACES to find numeric IDs
• Clickable space URLs may need assembly: join _links.webui (relative) with _links.base
• Default pagination is 25; set limit explicitly (max 200 for spaces)

4. Navigate Page Hierarchy and Labels

When to use: User wants to explore page trees, child pages, ancestors, or manage labels

Tool sequence:

1. CONFLUENCE_SEARCH_CONTENT - Find the target page ID [Prerequisite]
2. CONFLUENCE_GET_CHILD_PAGES - List direct children of a parent page [Required]
3. CONFLUENCE_GET_PAGE_ANCESTORS - Get the full ancestor chain for a page [Optional]
4. CONFLUENCE_GET_LABELS_FOR_PAGE - List labels on a specific page [Optional]
5. CONFLUENCE_ADD_CONTENT_LABEL - Add labels to a page [Optional]
6. CONFLUENCE_GET_LABELS_FOR_SPACE_CONTENT - List labels across all content in a space [Optional]
7. CONFLUENCE_GET_PAGE_VERSIONS - Audit edit history for a page [Optional]

Key parameters:

• id: Page ID for child pages, ancestors, labels, and versions
• cursor: Opaque pagination cursor for GET_CHILD_PAGES (from _links.next)
• limit: Items per page (max 250 for child pages)
• sort: Child page sort options: id, -id, created-date, -created-date, modified-date, -modified-date, child-position, -child-position

Pitfalls:

• GET_CHILD_PAGES only returns direct children, not nested descendants; recurse for full tree
• Pagination for GET_CHILD_PAGES uses cursor-based pagination (not start/limit)
• Verify the correct page ID from search before using as parent; search can return similar titles
• GET_PAGE_VERSIONS requires the page ID, not a version number

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Confluence connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit confluence
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @confluence-automation-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @confluence-automation-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @confluence-automation-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @confluence-automation-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/confluence-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

ID Resolution

Always resolve human-readable names to IDs before operations:

• Space key -> Space ID: CONFLUENCE_GET_SPACES with spaceKey filter, or CREATE_PAGE accepts space keys directly
• Page title -> Page ID: CONFLUENCE_SEARCH_CONTENT with query param, then extract page ID
• Space ID from URL: Extract numeric ID from Confluence URLs or use GET_SPACES

Pagination

Confluence uses two pagination styles:

• Offset-based (most endpoints): start (0-based offset) + limit (page size). Increment start by limit until fewer results than limit are returned.
• Cursor-based (GET_CHILD_PAGES, GET_PAGES): Use the cursor from _links.next in the response. Continue until no next link is present.

Content Formatting

• Pages use Confluence storage format (XHTML), not Markdown
• Basic elements: <p>, <h1>-<h6>, <strong>, <em>, <code>, <ul>, <ol>, <li>
• Tables: <table><tbody><tr><th> / <td> structure
• Macros: <ac:structured-macro ac:name="code"> for code blocks, etc.
• Always wrap content in proper XHTML tags

Imported: Known Pitfalls

ID Formats

• Space IDs are numeric (e.g., 557060); space keys are short strings (e.g., DOCS)
• Page IDs are numeric long values for GET_PAGE_BY_ID; some tools accept UUID format
• GET_SPACE_BY_ID requires numeric ID, not the space key
• GET_PAGE_BY_ID takes an integer, not a string

Rate Limits

• HTTP 429 can occur on search endpoints; honor Retry-After header
• Throttle to ~2 requests/second with exponential backoff and jitter
• Body expansion in CQL_SEARCH reduces result limits to 25-50

Content Format

• Content must be Confluence storage format (XHTML), not Markdown or plain text
• Invalid XHTML will cause page creation/update to fail
• CREATE_PAGE nests body under body.storage.value; UPDATE_PAGE uses body.value + body.representation

Version Conflicts

• Updates require exact next version number (current + 1)
• Concurrent edits can cause version conflicts; always fetch current version immediately before updating
• Title changes during update must still be unique within the space

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
