Atlassian's DevAI team built agentic pipelines in Bitbucket Cloud to automate documentation updates triggered by code changes. Focused agents — each with a stored prompt — run only when relevant source paths change, proposing documentation updates as pull requests for developer review. A bootstrap agent further automates the setup of new agents and pipeline steps. The workflow saves the team roughly 1.5 developer-days per week and keeps documentation in sync with code. Key lessons: keep each agent's job narrow, use path-based triggers, and always route output through a reviewable pull request. Agentic Pipelines is currently in beta, supporting Rovo Dev, Claude Code, and Codex.
