# Bitbucket

![Bitbucket](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClawLink-HQ/clawlink/main/public/images/brand-logos/bitbucket.svg?v=2)

Work with Bitbucket from chat — browse repositories, inspect files, manage branches, review pull requests, and coordinate repository workflows via the Bitbucket Cloud API with OAuth authentication.

This skill uses [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev/?utm_source=clawhub&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=bitbucket-repos) for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Bitbucket API access yourself.

### Setup in 3 Steps

| Step 1: Install | Step 2: Pair Account | Step 3: Connect Bitbucket |

## Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

```bash
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart
```

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send `/new` as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Bitbucket again."

## Quick Start

```bash
# List repositories in a workspace
clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_list_repositories_in_workspace" --params '{"workspace": "your-workspace"}'

# List branches in a repository
clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_list_branches" --params '{"workspace": "your-workspace", "repo_slug": "your-repo"}'

# Get a pull request
clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_get_pull_request" --params '{"workspace": "your-workspace", "repo_slug": "your-repo", "pull_request_id": 1}'
```

## Authentication

All Bitbucket tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Bitbucket account.

**No API key is required in chat.** ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Bitbucket API request on the user's behalf.

### Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with `clawlink_begin_pairing` if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=bitbucket and connect Bitbucket.
4. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify the connection is active.

## Connection Management

### List Connections

```bash
clawlink_list_integrations
```

**Response:** Returns all connected integrations. Look for `bitbucket` in the list.

### Verify Connection

```bash
clawlink_list_tools --integration bitbucket
```

**Response:** Returns the live tool catalog for Bitbucket.

### Reconnect

If Bitbucket tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=bitbucket
2. After they confirm, call `clawlink_list_integrations` to verify
3. Then call `clawlink_list_tools --integration bitbucket`

## Security& Permissions

- Access is scoped to repositories and resources accessible to the connected Bitbucket account.
- **All write operations require explicit user confirmation.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
- Destructive actions (delete repository, delete branch, delete issue) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
- Repository deletion does not affect forks.

    "repo_slug": "your-repo",
    "q": "name~\"feature\""
  }'
```

    "workspace": "your-workspace",
    "repo_slug": "your-repo",
    "path": "README.md",
    "commit_revision": "main"
  }'
```

## Discovery Workflow

1. Call `clawlink_list_integrations` to confirm Bitbucket is connected.
2. Call `clawlink_list_tools --integration bitbucket` to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call `clawlink_search_tools` with a short query and integration `bitbucket`.
5. If no Bitbucket tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=bitbucket.

## Execution Workflow

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List repos → List branches → Show results          │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                     │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call         │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call `clawlink_describe_tool` first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, `whenToUse`, `askBefore`, `safeDefaults`, `examples`, and `followups` to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
5. Execute with `clawlink_call_tool`. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

## Notes

- Branch names must be unique within a repository and must not include the `refs/heads/` prefix.
- Pull request IDs are numeric. Use `bitbucket_list_pull_requests` to find PR IDs.
- Repository deletion does not affect forks — forks are separate copies.
- Pagination: use the `next` field in responses to iterate through large result sets.
- BBQL (Bitbucket Query Language) supports server-side filtering for branch names.

## Error Handling

| Status / Error | Meaning |
|----------------|---------|
| Tool not found | The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with `clawlink_list_tools --integration bitbucket`. |
| Missing connection | Bitbucket is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=bitbucket. |
| `BranchNotFound` | Branch does not exist. Check the branch name. |
| `PullRequestNotFound` | Pull request does not exist. Check the PR ID. |
| `RepositoryNotFound` | Repository does not exist or is not accessible. |
| `InvalidArgument` | Invalid parameter or missing required field. Review the tool schema with `clawlink_describe_tool`. |
| Write rejected | User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes. |

### Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:
   ```bash
   openclaw plugins list
   ```
2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send `/new` as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:
   ```bash
   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   ```
4. After restart, tell the user to send `/new` again and retry.

### Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly `bitbucket`.
2. Use `clawlink_describe_tool` to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call `clawlink_preview_tool` first.
