Create Bubble Skill

Create a new Bubble integration for: $ARGUMENTS

Follow the CREATEBUBBLEREADME.md guide at packages/bubble-core/CREATEBUBBLEREADME.md exactly.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Before writing any code, ask the user:

  1. Service name: What external service is this integrating with?
  2. Operations: What operations should this bubble support? (single or multiple)
  3. Authentication: What auth type? (none, apikey, oauth, basic)
  4. Credentials: What credential types are needed? (API key, access token, etc.)

Step 2: Create Folder Structure

All bubbles use this folder structure in packages/bubble-core/src/bubbles/service-bubble/{service-name}/:

{service-name}/
├── {service-name}.schema.ts           # All Zod schemas
├── {service-name}.utils.ts            # Utility functions (optional)
├── {service-name}.ts                  # Main bubble class
├── index.ts                           # Exports
├── {service-name}.test.ts             # Unit tests
└── {service-name}.integration.flow.ts # Integration flow test

Step 3: Create Schema File ({service-name}.schema.ts)

Include:

  • Parameter schema with .describe() on ALL fields
  • Result schema with success and error fields
  • Both INPUT and OUTPUT type exports
  • Use z.discriminatedUnion() for multi-operation bubbles
  • Use z.transform() over z.preprocess() for type preservation
  • Always include credentials field

Step 4: Create Main Bubble Class ({service-name}.ts)

Required static properties:

  • service, authType, bubbleName, type, schema, resultSchema
  • shortDescription, longDescription, alias

Use INPUT type for generic constraint:

export class {ServiceName}Bubble<
  T extends {ServiceName}ParamsInput = {ServiceName}ParamsInput,
> extends ServiceBubble<T, Extract<{ServiceName}Result, { operation: T['operation'] }>>

Implement:

  • constructor with default values
  • chooseCredential() method
  • performAction() method with operation switch

Step 5: Create Index File (index.ts)

Export the bubble class and types.

Step 6: Create Integration Flow Test ({service-name}.integration.flow.ts)

Integration flow tests are complete BubbleFlow workflows that exercise all bubble operations end-to-end.

Requirements:

  • Exercise all or most operations of your bubble
  • Include edge cases (special characters, spaces in names, unicode)
  • Test null/undefined handling in data
  • Return structured results tracking each operation's success/failure
  • Use realistic data and scenarios

Template structure:

import { BubbleFlow, {ServiceName}Bubble, type WebhookEvent } from '@bubblelab/bubble-core';

export interface Output {
  resourceId: string;
  testResults: {
    operation: string;
    success: boolean;
    details?: string;
  }[];
}

export interface TestPayload extends WebhookEvent {
  testName?: string;
}

export class {ServiceName}IntegrationTest extends BubbleFlow<'webhook/http'> {
  async handle(payload: TestPayload): Promise<Output> {
    const results: Output['testResults'] = [];

    // 1. Test first operation
    const result1 = await new {ServiceName}Bubble({
      operation: 'operation_name',
      // ... parameters with edge cases
    }).action();

    results.push({
      operation: 'operation_name',
      success: result1.success,
      details: result1.success ? `Success details` : result1.error,
    });

    // 2. Test subsequent operations...
    // Continue testing all operations

    return {
      resourceId: result1.data?.id || '',
      testResults: results,
    };
  }
}

Reference: See packages/bubble-core/src/bubbles/service-bubble/google-sheets/google-sheets.integration.flow.ts for a complete implementation.

Step 7: Complete Registration Checklist

You MUST update these 12 locations:

  1. Credential Types - packages/bubble-shared-schemas/src/types.ts

- Add new CredentialType enum values

  1. Credential Configuration Map - packages/bubble-shared-schemas/src/bubble-definition-schema.ts

- Add to CREDENTIALCONFIGURATIONMAP

- Add to CREDENTIALENVMAP

  1. Frontend Credential Configuration - apps/bubble-studio/src/pages/CredentialsPage.tsx

- Add to CREDENTIALTYPECONFIG - Add to typeToServiceMap

  1. Bubble-to-Credential Mapping - packages/bubble-shared-schemas/src/credential-schema.ts

- Add to BUBBLECREDENTIALOPTIONS

  1. Bubble Name Type Definition - packages/bubble-shared-schemas/src/types.ts

- Add to BubbleName type

  1. Backend Credential Test Parameters - apps/bubblelab-api/src/services/credential-validator.ts

- Add to createTestParameters method with ALL required parameters

  1. System Credential Auto-Injection (optional) - apps/bubblelab-api/src/services/bubble-flow-parser.ts

- Add to SYSTEM_CREDENTIALS if needed

  1. Bubble Factory Registration - packages/bubble-core/src/bubble-factory.ts

- Import and register the bubble - Add to boilerplate imports

  1. Code Generator List - packages/bubble-core/src/bubble-factory.ts

- Add to listBubblesForCodeGenerator()

  1. Main Package Export - packages/bubble-core/src/index.ts

- Export bubble class and types

  1. Logo Integration (optional) - apps/bubble-studio/src/lib/integrations.ts

- Add to SERVICELOGOS, INTEGRATIONS, NAMEALIASES, and matchers

Step 8: Verification

Run these commands to verify:

pnpm run typecheck
pnpm run build

Quality Checklist

Before completing, ensure:

  • ALL fields have .describe() calls
  • Optional parameters have sensible defaults
  • Input/output types are strictly typed with Zod
  • Unit tests cover all operations
  • Integration flow test exercises all operations end-to-end
  • Error handling is consistent
  • All 12 registration locations updated

Key Patterns to Follow

Type Safety:

  • Use INPUT type (z.input<>) for generic constraints and constructor
  • Use OUTPUT type (z.output<>) for internal methods after validation
  • Cast this.params as {ServiceName}Params inside performAction()

Schema Best Practices:

  • Use z.transform() to preserve input types in discriminated unions
  • Use z.preprocess() only when accepting unknown/null/undefined inputs
  • All fields MUST have .describe() calls
  • Provide sensible defaults with .optional().default(value)

Error Handling:

  • Return { success: false, error: message } format
  • Catch and wrap errors appropriately
