mk:confluence-bulk
What This Skill Does
Forks the confluence-bulk agent to run bulk operations across many Confluence pages: bulk-label / bulk-move / bulk-delete. The agent enforces a hard 3-step ceremony at runtime — dry-run → confirm → execute. Skipping the dry-run step is a hard violation; the agent refuses if asked to skip.
When to Use
- Triggers: "bulk update N pages", "mass label", "delete every page matching CQL", "bulk-move pages from SPACE-A to SPACE-B"
- NOT for: single-page ops (
mk:confluence-page), comment / attachment ops (mk:confluence-collaborate).
Mandatory Dry-Run Protocol
Step 1: invocation + --dry-run
Step 2: agent shows would_* JSON keys + impacted-count + first 5 affected page titles
Step 3: explicit user "yes" + typed confirmation token (e.g. "DELETE 47 PAGES")
→ re-invoke without --dry-run, with --yesIf the impacted-count differs by >5% between dry-run and execute, the agent surfaces it as a concern in the Status block before proceeding.
Verified CLI Idioms
| Operation | Tier | Wrapper invocation |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk-label (dry-run) | 4 | ... bulk label add --cql "$SAFE_CQL" --label archive --dry-run |
| Bulk-move (dry-run) | 4 | ... bulk move --cql "..." --target-parent-id 99999 --dry-run |
| Bulk-delete (dry-run) | 4 | ... bulk delete --cql "..." --dry-run |
| Re-invoke (after confirm) | 4 | ... bulk label add --cql "..." --label archive --yes |
--max-pages defaults to 100; raising it requires explicit override + extra confirmation. confluence-as may impose its own server-side cap (~200 typical).

Agent
confluence-bulk — A + C (untrusted CQL input + HIGH-blast state change). NOT B (token stays in the wrapper). 2/3 — Rule of Two compliant; the dry-run ceremony is the load-bearing mitigation for blast radius.
