## Instructions

Use the `md2cf` CLI tool to sync markdown files to Confluence pages. The tool converts Markdown to Atlassian Document Format (ADF) and uses the Confluence REST API v2.

### Prerequisites

The user must have md2cf installed and configured before this skill can be used:

```bash
npm install -g md2cf
md2cf config
```

Configuration requires: Atlassian email, API token (from https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens), and Confluence base URL.

### Commands

The CLI intelligently determines the action based on the URL and flags:
- **No `--create` flag**: Updates the page at the URL
- **With `--create` flag**:
  - If URL points to a page → creates a new child page
  - If URL points to a space → creates a new page in that space

#### Update an existing Confluence page (default)

```bash
md2cf <markdown-file-or-url> <page-url>
```

The URL must be a full Confluence page URL. This is the default mode.

#### Create a new page in a space

```bash
md2cf <source> <space-url> --create
# or use the short flag
md2cf <source> <space-url> -c
```

#### Create a page as child of another page

```bash
md2cf <source> <page-url> --create
```

### Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `-c, --create` | Create a new page (as child if URL is a page, in space if URL is a space) |
| `--title <title>` | Override page title (defaults to first H1 heading in the markdown) |
| `--dry-run` | Preview what would happen without making changes |
| `-y, --yes` | Skip confirmation prompts (for CI/scripts) |

### Configuration Commands

```bash
md2cf config              # Interactive setup
md2cf config set <k> <v>  # Set a value (email, token, baseUrl)
md2cf config get <key>    # Get a value
md2cf config list         # List all config (token masked)
md2cf config reset        # Delete all config
md2cf config path         # Show config file location
```

### Source Types

The `<source>` argument accepts:
- **Local file path**: `./docs/guide.md`, `README.md`, `/absolute/path/file.md`
- **Local folder path**: `./docs/`, `/absolute/path/to/folder/` (automatically synced recursively)
- **Remote URL**: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/docs/guide.md`

### Folder Sync

When the source is a folder, md2cf automatically syncs it recursively:
- Mirrors the local folder structure to Confluence
- Folders become pages (with default content)
- Markdown files become pages
- Existing pages are updated, new pages are created
- Nested folder structure is preserved as parent-child page relationships

### Title Resolution

The page title is determined in this order:
1. `--title` flag value (if provided)
2. First `# H1` heading in the markdown content
3. Filename converted to title case (e.g., `getting-started.md` becomes "Getting Started")

## Examples

**Update a page from a local file:**
```bash
md2cf ./README.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456
```

**Update with custom title:**
```bash
md2cf ./README.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456 --title "Custom Title"
```

**Create a page in a space root:**
```bash
md2cf ./onboarding.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG --create
```

**Create using short flag:**
```bash
md2cf ./guide.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG -c
```

**Create a child page under an existing page:**
```bash
md2cf ./api-docs.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456 --create
```

**Sync from a remote URL:**
```bash
md2cf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/README.md https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456
```

**Sync entire folder recursively:**
```bash
md2cf ./docs/ https://mycompany.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123456
```

This will mirror the folder structure:
- `docs/README.md` → Page "README" (child of page 123456)
- `docs/api/auth.md` → Page "api" (folder page) → Page "auth" (child of "api")
- `docs/guides/start.md` → Page "guides" (folder page) → Page "start" (child of "guides")

## Edge Cases

- If no URL is provided, the command will fail.
- For updates (no `--create` flag), the URL must point to an existing page.
- For creates with `--create` flag, the URL can point to either a page (creates as child) or a space (creates in space root).
- Remote markdown URLs must be publicly accessible or return content without authentication.
- Title defaults to the first H1 heading in the markdown, or the filename if no H1 is found.
