synthesis-bitbucket

synthesis-bitbucket is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,557 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for using the bkt command-line tool with Bitbucket Cloud, a hosted service for Git repositories. It covers repository reads, pull requests, authentication, reviews, comments, approvals, merges, and API access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repositories and branches, manage pull requests, approve or merge changes, add comments, and call the Bitbucket API when bkt lacks a needed operation.
Why use it?
It gives agents one consistent way to work with Bitbucket while reducing mistakes around authentication, repository context, and pagination.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

synthesis-bitbucket scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Synthesis Bitbucket (via bkt)

How an agent interacts with Bitbucket Cloud using bkt, an open-source community CLI that fills the role gh plays for GitHub. This skill exists because agents working across many repos otherwise drift to raw REST calls or the wrong CLI, reassembling auth, URL-encoding, and pagination by hand — differently every session.

The rule in one line: if bkt can do it, use bkt. The REST API is the escape hatch (bkt api), not the default.

Teams layer a private companion skill on top of this one carrying their workspace names, default context, and release conventions. This skill stays generic.

Install and pin

brew install avivsinai/tap/bitbucket-cli
brew pin bitbucket-cli   # freeze at the installed version
bkt --version

Pin a reviewed version. bkt is a community tool with write access to your repos. Review a release (or adopt your team's reviewed version), pin it, and re-review the diff before upgrading. brew pin freezes whatever is installed; a checksummed release binary from the project's GitHub Releases page is the alternative when you need an exact older version.

Authenticate

Preferred — OAuth in the browser (no token handling):

bkt auth login https://bitbucket.org --kind cloud --web

Alternative — scoped API token created under the Bitbucket application at id.atlassian.com → Security → API tokens:

bkt auth login https://bitbucket.org --kind cloud \
  --username <atlassian-account-email> --token <api-token>

The username is the email of the Atlassian account that owns the token — not a Bitbucket username. Prefer the interactive prompt over --token (flags leak into shell history and process listings). Credentials land in the OS keychain.

⚠️ Scoped API tokens that authenticate the REST API do not necessarily authenticate the git HTTPS endpoint — they are separate credential surfaces. For git push/fetch, use SSH keys; keep bkt on the token. Mixing the two surfaces produces "the token works here but not there" mysteries that look like access problems and are not.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
