Format Docs
Format and restructure markdown documents so they publish cleanly to Confluence via `orbit confluence publish`. Use this skill whenever the user wants to prepare docs for Confluence, fix markdown formatting for wiki publishing, add frontmatter to docs, restructure a docs directory, or ensure markdown files follow Confluence-friendly conventions. Also trigger when the user says things like 'format these docs', 'prepare docs for Confluence', 'fix the frontmatter', 'restructure the docs folder', 'make these docs publishable', 'clean up the markdown', or any task involving making markdown Confluence-ready — even if they just say 'format this' or 'prep for wiki' without mentioning Confluence explicitly. If the user has a docs/ directory and mentions publishing or syncing, this skill applies.
From the source SKILL.md
Prepare markdown documents for clean Confluence publishing via orbit confluence publish. This skill analyzes and transforms markdown files — individually or as a directory tree — to follow the conventions that Confluence expects.
