Installation

pip install confluence-assistant-skills-lib

Quick Start

from confluence_assistant_skills import (
    get_confluence_client,
    validate_page_id,
    format_page,
    markdown_to_adf,
)

# Set environment variables:
# CONFLUENCE_SITE_URL=https://your-site.atlassian.net
# CONFLUENCE_EMAIL=[e-mail]
# CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=your-api-token

# Get a configured client
client = get_confluence_client()

# Get a page
page_id = validate_page_id("12345")
page = client.get(f"/api/v2/pages/{page_id}")
print(format_page(page))

# Create content from Markdown
content = markdown_to_adf("# Hello\n\nThis is **bold** text.")

Direct Client Usage

from confluence_assistant_skills import ConfluenceClient

client = ConfluenceClient(
    base_url="https://your-site.atlassian.net",
    email="[e-mail]",
    api_token="your-api-token",
    timeout=30,
    max_retries=3,
)

# GET request
page = client.get("/api/v2/pages/12345")

# POST request
new_page = client.post("/api/v2/pages", json_data={
    "spaceId": "123456",
    "title": "New Page",
    "body": {"representation": "atlas_doc_format", "value": "..."}
})

# Pagination
for page in client.paginate("/api/v2/pages", params={"space-id": "123456"}):
    print(page["title"])

# File upload
result = client.upload_file(
    "/api/v2/attachments",
    file_path="/path/to/file.pdf",
    additional_data={"pageId": "12345"}
)

Configuration

Environment Variables

export CONFLUENCE_SITE_URL="https://your-site.atlassian.net"
export CONFLUENCE_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
export CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export CONFLUENCE_PROFILE="production"  # Optional

Profile Configuration

Create .claude/settings.local.json:

{
  "confluence": {
    "default_profile": "production",
    "profiles": {
      "production": {
        "url": "https://company.atlassian.net",
        "default_space": "DOCS"
      },
      "sandbox": {
        "url": "https://company-sandbox.atlassian.net",
        "default_space": "TEST"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use profiles:

from confluence_assistant_skills import get_confluence_client

# Uses default profile or CONFLUENCE_PROFILE env var
client = get_confluence_client()

# Use specific profile
client = get_confluence_client(profile="sandbox")

Error Handling

from confluence_assistant_skills import (
    handle_errors,
    ConfluenceError,
    AuthenticationError,
    NotFoundError,
    ValidationError,
)

@handle_errors
def main():
    # Validation errors
    page_id = validate_page_id(user_input)  # Raises ValidationError if invalid

    # API errors are caught and formatted
    page = client.get(f"/api/v2/pages/{page_id}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()  # Errors are caught, formatted, and exit with appropriate code

Validators

from confluence_assistant_skills import (
    validate_page_id,      # Numeric string validation
    validate_space_key,    # Space key format
    validate_cql,          # CQL query syntax
    validate_content_type, # page, blogpost, etc.
    validate_url,          # URL format
    validate_email,        # Email format
    validate_title,        # Page title constraints
    validate_label,        # Label format
    validate_limit,        # Pagination limit
)

page_id = validate_page_id("12345")         # Returns "12345"
space_key = validate_space_key("docs")       # Returns "DOCS" (normalized)
cql = validate_cql('space = "DOCS"')         # Validates syntax

ADF Conversion

from confluence_assistant_skills import (
    markdown_to_adf,
    adf_to_markdown,
    text_to_adf,
    adf_to_text,
    create_heading,
    create_paragraph,
    create_bullet_list,
)

# Convert Markdown to ADF
adf = markdown_to_adf("""
# My Document

This is a **bold** paragraph.

- Item 1
- Item 2

```python
print("Hello")

""")

Convert ADF back to Markdown

markdown = adf_to_markdown(adf)

Build ADF programmatically

from confluence_assistant_skills import create_adf_doc doc = create_adf_doc([ create_heading("Title", level=1), create_paragraph(text="Hello, World!"), create_bullet_list(["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"]), ])

## Caching

```python
from confluence_assistant_skills import Cache, cached

# Direct cache usage
cache = Cache(default_ttl=300)  # 5 minutes
cache.set("key", {"data": "value"})
value = cache.get("key")

# Decorator usage
@cached(ttl=300)
def get_page(page_id):
    return client.get(f"/api/v2/pages/{page_id}")

# First call hits API, subsequent calls use cache
page = get_page("12345")
