  Atlassian ships no dedicated "confluence" REST CLI. The first-party developer
  CLI for building on Confluence (and other Atlassian Cloud products) is the
  Forge CLI, distributed as the npm package @forge/cli (binary `forge`). It is
  used to scaffold, tunnel, deploy, and install Forge apps that call the
  Confluence APIs. Atlassian also ships ACLI (Atlassian CLI) for Rovo/agent and
  administrative workflows.
