Bitbucket

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 for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Bitbucket API access yourself.

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.

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

# 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

clawlink_list_integrations

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

Verify Connection

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.

Code Examples

List branches in a repository

clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_list_branches" \
  --params '{
    "workspace": "your-workspace",
    "repo_slug": "your-repo",
    "q": "name~\"feature\""
  }'

Create a pull request

clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_create_pull_request" \
  --params '{
    "workspace": "your-workspace",
    "repo_slug": "your-repo",
    "title": "Add new feature",
    "source_branch": "feature/new-feature",
    "destination_branch": "main",
    "description": "This PR adds the new feature as described in issue #123"
  }'

Approve a pull request

clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_approve_pull_request" \
  --params '{
    "workspace": "your-workspace",
    "repo_slug": "your-repo",
    "pull_request_id": 42
  }'

Get file content from a repository

clawlink_call_tool --tool "bitbucket_get_file_from_repository" \
  --params '{
    "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

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   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:

   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.
