Bitbucket Deep Management Skill

Manage and monitor Bitbucket repositories, Pipelines, pull requests, and workspace settings at depth.

MANDATORY: Discovery-First Pattern

Always list workspaces and repositories before querying specific resources.

Phase 1: Discovery

#!/bin/bash

BB_API="https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0"

bb_api() {
    curl -s -u "${BITBUCKET_USERNAME}:${BITBUCKET_APP_PASSWORD}" \
         -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
         "${BB_API}/${1}"
}

echo "=== Workspace ==="
bb_api "workspaces/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}" | jq '{
    name: .name, slug: .slug, type: .type
}'

echo ""
echo "=== Repositories ==="
bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}?pagelen=30&sort=-updated_on" | jq -r '
    .values[] |
    "\(.slug)\t\(.mainbranch.name // "main")\t\(.is_private)\t\(.updated_on[:10])"
' | column -t | head -30

echo ""
echo "=== Workspace Members ==="
bb_api "workspaces/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}/members?pagelen=30" | jq -r '
    .values[] |
    "\(.user.display_name)\t\(.user.nickname)\t\(.workspace_membership.role // "member")"
' | column -t | head -20

Phase 2: Analysis

#!/bin/bash

echo "=== Failed Pipelines (recent) ==="
bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}?pagelen=10&sort=-updated_on" | jq -r '.values[].slug' | while read repo; do
    bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}/${repo}/pipelines/?pagelen=3&sort=-created_on&status=FAILED" | jq -r --arg repo "$repo" '
        .values[]? |
        "\($repo)\t\(.build_number)\t\(.state.result.name // .state.name)\t\(.created_on[:10])"
    '
done | column -t | head -20

echo ""
echo "=== Branch Restrictions ==="
bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}?pagelen=10&sort=-updated_on" | jq -r '.values[].slug' | while read repo; do
    bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}/${repo}/branch-restrictions?pagelen=10" | jq -r --arg repo "$repo" '
        .values[]? |
        "\($repo)\t\(.kind)\t\(.pattern)\t\(.value // 0)"
    '
done | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Open Pull Requests ==="
bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}?pagelen=10&sort=-updated_on" | jq -r '.values[].slug' | while read repo; do
    bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}/${repo}/pullrequests?state=OPEN&pagelen=5" | jq -r --arg repo "$repo" '
        .values[]? |
        "\($repo)\t#\(.id)\t\(.title[:40])\t\(.author.display_name)\t\(.created_on[:10])"
    '
done | column -t | head -20

echo ""
echo "=== Deployment Environments ==="
bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}?pagelen=5&sort=-updated_on" | jq -r '.values[].slug' | while read repo; do
    bb_api "repositories/${BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE}/${repo}/environments?pagelen=10" | jq -r --arg repo "$repo" '
        .values[]? |
        "\($repo)\t\(.name)\t\(.environment_type.name)\t\(.lock.type // "unlocked")"
    '
done | column -t | head -15

Output Rules

• TOKEN EFFICIENCY: Target <=50 lines per output
• Use pagelen and sort parameters to control result size
• Never dump full pipeline logs or PR diffs -- extract status metadata

Output Format

Present results as a structured report:

Managing Bitbucket Deep Report
══════════════════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]

Resource       Status    Key Metric    Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name]         [ok/warn] [value]       [findings]

Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]

Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.

Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or --help output.
3. NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

Counter-Rationalizations

Shortcut	Counter	Why
"I'll skip discovery and check known resources"	Always run Phase 1 discovery first	Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors
"The user only asked for a quick check"	Follow the full discovery → analysis flow	Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures
"Default configuration is probably fine"	Audit configuration explicitly	Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled
"Metrics aren't needed for this"	Always check relevant metrics when available	API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues
"I don't have access to that"	Try the command and report the actual error	Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative

Common Pitfalls

• Build minutes: Pipelines consume monthly build minutes based on plan
• App passwords: App passwords have scoped permissions -- verify required scopes
• Branch restrictions: Multiple restriction types (push, merge, delete) stack independently
• Pipeline caching: Cache key mismatches cause unnecessary rebuilds
• Deployment locks: Environment locks prevent concurrent deployments -- check lock status
• Repository size: Large repos with LFS hit size limits -- monitor repository size
• Merge checks: Required merge checks must pass before PR merge -- stale checks block merges
