confluence-editing-standards

A set of writing rules for Markdown pages in Confluence, a tool for shared team documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for formatting Confluence pages, including lists, spacing, commands, code snippets, headings, anchors, and tables.
Why use it?
It reduces layout problems such as broken lists, collapsed code, unclear headings, and hard-to-read tables.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

confluence-editing-standards scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Confluence Editing Standards (Markdown Authoring)

Purpose: Ensure Markdown renders cleanly in Confluence by applying spacing, nesting, and code formatting rules during page creation/updates.

Lists & Spacing

  • Always insert a blank line between list items.

  • Use nested sub-bullets for subpoints; never concatenate multiple points on a single line.

  • For ordered lists, keep each step single-purpose; add an empty line between steps when a step has sub-bullets.

Inline vs Code Blocks

  • Prefer inline code for short, single-line commands or file paths (e.g., composer install).

  • Use fenced code blocks only when necessary (multi-line commands, config snippets). Verify Confluence renders the block without collapsing; otherwise, convert to inline steps.

  • Do not mix bullets and code blocks without a blank line before and after the block.

Headings & Anchors

  • Keep headings concise; avoid trailing punctuation.

  • When using Markdown format, avoid enabling heading anchors if they introduce ID artifacts in rendered output.

Tables

  • Keep tables simple (5–7 columns max). Prefer bullets when content wraps heavily.

  • Add a brief sentence above a large table explaining what it captures.

Nested Structure

  • Depth guidance: limit nesting to two levels (bullet → sub-bullet). If content requires more depth, split into a new subsection.

Check Before Publish (Quicklist)

  • Bullets have blank lines between items.

  • Sub-bullets are properly indented and grouped.

  • Commands are inline where possible; multi-line blocks tested for rendering.

  • No anchor artifacts in headings.

  • Tables are readable; consider bullets if wide.

Optional Page Label Cue

When editing an existing Confluence page, if the page has label format-spaced-lists, apply these spacing rules strictly even if the original content is inconsistent.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
