Confluence Operations Skill

Cache management, API diagnostics, and operational utilities for Confluence Assistant.

---

⚠️ PRIMARY USE CASE

This skill manages operational aspects of Confluence integration. Use for:

• Monitoring and managing cache
• Diagnosing API connectivity issues
• Performance optimization
• Troubleshooting rate limits

---

When to Use / When NOT to Use

Use This Skill	Use Instead
Check cache status	-
Clear/warm cache	-
Diagnose API issues	-
Check rate limits	-
Manage pages	confluence-page
Search content	confluence-search
Manage spaces	confluence-space

---

Risk Levels

Operation	Risk	Notes
Cache status	-	Read-only
API diagnostics	-	Read-only
Cache warm	-	Adds cache entries
Cache clear	⚠️	Removes cache, may slow next requests

---

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Monitor cache status: Check cache size, entry counts, and hit rates
• Clear cache data: Remove stale or sensitive cached data
• Pre-warm cache: Load commonly accessed data for better performance
• Diagnose API issues: Test connectivity and identify problems
• Troubleshoot slowness: Diagnose cache-related performance issues
• Check rate limits: Monitor API quota usage

Trigger conditions:

• Cache hit rate drops below 50%
• Confluence API responses slower than 2 seconds
• Setting up new Confluence instance
• Before bulk operations (warm cache first)
• After space changes (invalidate cache)
• Troubleshooting 429 rate limit errors

Quick Start

# Check cache status
confluence ops cache-status

# Clear all cache
confluence ops cache-clear --force

# Warm cache with space metadata
confluence ops cache-warm --spaces

# Test API connectivity
confluence ops health-check

# Full API diagnostics
confluence ops api-diagnostics

---

CLI Commands

Command	Purpose	Risk
confluence ops cache-status	Display cache statistics	-
confluence ops cache-clear	Clear cache entries	⚠️
confluence ops cache-warm	Pre-warm cache	-
confluence ops health-check	Test API connectivity	-
confluence ops rate-limit-status	Check rate limit usage	-
confluence ops api-diagnostics	Diagnose API issues	-

Common Tasks

Check Cache Status

# Basic status
confluence ops cache-status

# Output as JSON
confluence ops cache-status --output json

# Verbose output with entry details
confluence ops cache-status --verbose

Output example:

Cache Status
────────────────────────────
Total entries:    1,234
Total size:       45.2 MB
Hit rate:         78.5%

By category:
  spaces:         23 entries (1.2 MB)
  pages:          892 entries (38.4 MB)
  users:          156 entries (2.1 MB)
  search:         163 entries (3.5 MB)

Oldest entry:     2024-01-15 10:30:00
Newest entry:     2024-01-20 14:45:00

Warm the Cache

# Cache space list
confluence ops cache-warm --spaces

# Cache specific space metadata
confluence ops cache-warm --space DOCS

# Cache all available metadata
confluence ops cache-warm --all --verbose

# JSON output for scripting
confluence ops cache-warm --spaces --output json

Clear Cache

# Clear all cache (with confirmation)
confluence ops cache-clear

# Clear all cache (skip confirmation)
confluence ops cache-clear --force

# Clear only page cache
confluence ops cache-clear --category pages --force

# Preview what would be cleared
confluence ops cache-clear --dry-run

# Clear keys matching pattern
confluence ops cache-clear --pattern "DOCS-*" --category pages --force

# Clear entries older than N days
confluence ops cache-clear --older-than 7 --force

# JSON output for scripting
confluence ops cache-clear --force --output json

API Diagnostics

# Full health check
confluence ops health-check

# Test specific endpoint
confluence ops health-check --endpoint "/api/v2/spaces"

# Verbose output with timing
confluence ops health-check --verbose

# JSON output for scripting
confluence ops health-check --output json

Output example:

Confluence Health Check
────────────────────────────
Site URL:         https://your-site.atlassian.net
Status:           ✓ Connected
API Version:      v2
Response Time:    234ms

Endpoint Tests:
  /api/v2/spaces       ✓ 156ms
  /api/v2/pages        ✓ 189ms
  /rest/api/search     ✓ 312ms

Authentication:   ✓ Valid
User:             [e-mail]

Rate Limit Status

# Check current rate limit status
confluence ops rate-limit-status

# JSON output
confluence ops rate-limit-status --output json

Output example:

Rate Limit Status
────────────────────────────
Status:           ✓ No rate limit errors detected

Note: Confluence Cloud does not expose rate limit headers in API responses.
Rate limits are applied server-side and vary by endpoint and account tier.

Recommendations:
  - Monitor for HTTP 429 responses
  - Implement exponential backoff on retries
  - Limit bulk operations to 5-10 concurrent requests
  - Add small delays between rapid sequential calls

Cache Categories

Category	Description	Default TTL
spaces	Space metadata	1 hour
pages	Page content and metadata	5 minutes
users	User information	1 hour
search	Search results	2 minutes
labels	Label data	15 minutes
permissions	Permission data	5 minutes

---

Configuration

Cache is stored in ~/.confluence-skills/cache/ with configurable TTL per category.

Environment variables:

• CONFLUENCE_CACHE_DIR - Custom cache directory
• CONFLUENCE_CACHE_ENABLED - Enable/disable caching (default: true)
• CONFLUENCE_CACHE_TTL - Default TTL in seconds (default: 300)

---

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	General error
2	Configuration error
3	Cache database error
4	Network/connectivity error

---

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Slow API responses	Run cache-warm --all to pre-populate cache
Stale data	Run cache-clear --force then cache-warm
429 Rate limit	Wait for reset, reduce request frequency
Connection timeout	Check health-check, verify credentials
Cache corruption	Run cache-clear --force
