# Page reviewer

A Confluence page is hard to walk back once it's live: watchers, reactions,
and links accumulate, and `minorEdit=true` will not save you from a body that
embarrasses the team. Run this skill before every create or update.

The reviewer reads the draft and the page-context, and returns one of three
verdicts:

- **PASS** — body is ready, post it
- **REVISE** — specific, line-anchored changes are required before posting
- **BLOCK** — something about the draft cannot be fixed locally (wrong space,
  wrong parent, scope creep, secret leak) — escalate

The reviewer never edits the draft. It returns a checklist; the human or the
`confluence-page` skill applies the changes.

## Hard rules

- **No body that contains secrets, tokens, session cookies, customer PII, or
  internal hostnames** (`*.netcracker.com` internal suffixes are fine in
  links; IPs, hostnames and ports from runbooks are not). The reviewer
  blocks on first match.
- **No body that references the local mirror path** (`~/Netcracker/Projects/NDO/knowledge/...`).
  Use the public BASS URL.
- **No body larger than 300 lines** without a one-line reason in the draft
  header. Pages drift; reviewers and readers both lose when they do.
- **No body whose title collides with an existing page** under the same
  parent — see step 2 of the workflow.
- **No unrendered macros** — every `{plantuml}`, `{code}`, `{info}`, `{note}`,
  `{warning}` block must be in its proper storage form (see
  `confluence-page/references/macros.md`). The reviewer rejects raw wiki
  markup and raw Markdown inside storage bodies.

## Workflow

1. **Identify the page.** Title, parent, space key, target id (for update).
2. **Collision check.** If creating:
   - `mcp__atlassian.confluence_search(cql="space=<SPACE> AND title~\"<title>\"")`
   - If a page already exists under the same parent, return **BLOCK** with
     "title collision — pick a more specific title or update the existing
     page instead".
3. **Pull upstream context.** If updating, fetch the current body with
   `mcp__atlassian.confluence_get_page_content(pageId)` and diff against the
   draft. Flag any section that was renamed or deleted upstream and carried
   forward in the draft without intent.
4. **Lint the body.** For each of the checks below, return a line number and
   a short rationale. See [references/checks.md](references/checks.md) for the
   full list and severity table.
5. **Slop pass.** Run the `unslop` skill on the body. If unslop returns more
   than 5 fixes for a page under 100 lines, or more than 10 for any page,
   return **REVISE** — the author should reread, not the agent.
6. **Diagram sanity.** For every `{plantuml}` block, parse to a `.puml` temp
   file and run `plantuml -checkonly -syntax` if `plantuml` is on `$PATH`. If
   the tool is missing, skip the parse and warn — do not block on a missing
   optional tool.
7. **Render verdict.**

## Verdict shape

```
PASS:
  - ready to post; no blocking issues
  - (optional) minor notes for the author

REVISE:
  - L<line>: <rule> — <one-line fix>
  - L<line>: <rule> — <one-line fix>
  - ...
  - estimated fix effort: <s|m|l>

BLOCK:
  - <rule>: <what's wrong, what to do instead>
  - <rule>: ...
```

The verdict is the only thing the calling skill should consume. Everything
else (diff, lint output, slop report) goes to stderr / a side file for the
human.

## What the reviewer does NOT do

- **Edit the draft.** The author or the `confluence-page` skill applies fixes.
  Reviewer that also edits is hard to audit.
- **Post anything.** The reviewer never calls a write MCP tool.
- **Judge voice.** Use `unslop` for that. The reviewer enforces structure,
  safety, and rendering correctness; unslop enforces voice.
- **Approve secrets in test data.** Even "obvious" test fixtures get blocked.
  If you need sample data with realistic-looking identifiers, generate them
  with the project's standard placeholder vocabulary.

## Severity table

| Severity | Returns | Examples |
|----------|---------|----------|
| Blocker | BLOCK | secret leak, wrong parent, wrong space, title collision, raw wiki markup in storage body |
| Major | REVISE | unrendered macro, broken internal link, image without alt text, slop cluster |
| Minor | PASS (with note) | inconsistent heading levels, missing one-line summary, sub-optimal anchor text |
