Create Confluence Blog Post

IMPORTANT: Always use this skill's Python script for creating Confluence blog posts. Blog posts are date-stamped entries that appear in a space's blog section, separate from regular pages.

Markdown Content Handling

CRITICAL: When uploading markdown content to Confluence, you MUST use the --markdown flag:

  • Files with .md extension → ALWAYS add --markdown
  • Content containing markdown syntax (headers with #, lists with -, code blocks with ``) → ALWAYS add --markdown`
  • User asks to upload/publish a markdown file → ALWAYS add --markdown

Without the --markdown flag, markdown content will appear as raw unformatted text in Confluence.

Quick Start

Use the Python script at scripts/createconfluenceblog_post.py:

# Create blog post in a space
python scripts/create_confluence_blog_post.py --space DEV --title "Sprint 42 Retrospective"

# Create with content
python scripts/create_confluence_blog_post.py --space DEV --title "Release Notes v2.0" \
  --body "<p>We're excited to announce version 2.0!</p>"

# Create from markdown file
python scripts/create_confluence_blog_post.py --space DEV --title "Weekly Update" \
  --body-file update.md --markdown

# Create with labels
python scripts/create_confluence_blog_post.py --space DEV --title "Architecture Decision" \
  --labels "adr,architecture" --body "<p>We decided to use microservices.</p>"

Options
