Quick Start

1. Install:

go install github.com/takymt/cflcli/cmd/cfl@latest
cfl --help

1. Set your Confluence API token:

export CFL_API_TOKEN="your_confluence_api_token"

1. Initialize config (creates a default profile interactively on first run):

cfl init

1. List pages (uses space_key from the selected profile if configured):

cfl page list --limit 25

If you are working from a local checkout of this repo, you can run go run ./cmd/cfl instead of cfl.

Typical Flows

Create a page from Markdown:

cfl page create --space-key TEST --title "Release Notes" --body-file ./docs/release-notes.md

Update a page from Markdown:

cfl page update 123456 --title "Release Notes v2" --body-file ./docs/release-notes.md

Export pages to Markdown (migration flow):

cfl migrate export --space-key TEST --out ./export

Markdown Notes

• Default --body-format is markdown.
• Use --body-format storage to send Confluence storage format as-is.
• Frontmatter keys supported for create/update: title, parent-id (also parent_id, parentid).
• Local images in Markdown are uploaded as Confluence attachments and rewritten to ri:attachment references.
• Mermaid fenced code blocks are rendered to images by default; disable with --no-render-mermaid.

Frontmatter example:

---
title: Weekly Update
parent-id: "123456"
---
