Ran the bundled convert_markdown_to_wiki.py on a real sample doc: it silently turns **bold** text into wiki _italic_ (a genuine regex bug, not a style choice) and leaves standard GitHub-style leading-pipe tables completely unconverted, despite SKILL.md explicitly listing 'tables' among the elements it handles; everything else (headings, italics, links, lists, code blocks) converted correctly.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 4/10
- Docs & honesty 2/5
What Confluence does
Downloads, uploads, and converts Confluence pages via bundled Python scripts plus an Atlassian MCP server, including Markdown-to-Wiki-Markup conversion and Mermaid diagram handling. Triggers on explicit Confluence tasks (download/upload/convert/sync pages), but real use requires a configured Atlassian MCP server and API credentials, and the bundled markdown converter mishandles bold text and standard GitHub-style tables.
How to install Confluence
git clone https://github.com/SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill
cd confluence-skill
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r . ~/.claude/skills/confluence
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Confluence skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from SpillwaveSolutions/confluence-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Confluence work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass. Ran the bundled convert_markdown_to_wiki.py on a real sample doc: it silently turns **bold** text into wiki _italic_ (a genuine regex bug, not a style choice) and leaves standard GitHub-style leading-pipe tables completely unconverted, despite SKILL.md explicitly listing 'tables' among the elements it handles; everything else (headings, italics, links, lists, code blocks) converted correctly.
- How do I install Confluence?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Confluence with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
