Deploy applications and infrastructure to Cloudflare using Workers, Pages, and related platform services. Use when the user asks to deploy, host, publish, or set up a project on Cloudflare.
— the description by OpenAI

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The Cloudflare Deploy skill serves as a centralized hub for developers working within the Cloudflare ecosystem. It provides structured decision trees to help users select the appropriate Cloudflare product—ranging from compute and storage to AI and security—and offers guidance on authentication, deployment, and troubleshooting. The skill includes specific references for building stateful, distributed AI agents using the Cloudflare Agents SDK, covering lifecycle hooks, state management, and SQL integration.

What it does

  • Provides decision trees to select the right Cloudflare product for compute, storage, AI, or networking needs.
  • Offers guidance on authentication using Wrangler for local and CI/CD environments.
  • Includes detailed documentation for building stateful AI agents with the Cloudflare Agents SDK.
  • Supports infrastructure-as-code integration via Pulumi and Terraform.
  • Provides troubleshooting steps for network-related deployment failures.
  • Maps specific use cases to relevant product references and technical documentation.

When to use it

  • When you need to deploy, host, or publish a project on Cloudflare.
  • When you are unsure which Cloudflare product best fits your compute, storage, or AI requirements.
  • When building stateful AI agents that require persistent memory and real-time connections.
  • When you need to configure security, networking, or media optimization services on Cloudflare.
  • When troubleshooting deployment timeouts or network connectivity issues.

Advantages

  • Consolidates fragmented documentation into a single, navigable resource.
  • Simplifies product selection through clear, logic-based decision trees.
  • Provides ready-to-use code patterns for complex tasks like AI agent development.
  • Addresses common operational hurdles like authentication and network sandboxing.

Usage examples

“I need to deploy a full-stack web application to Cloudflare. Which product should I use?”
The agent will guide you to use Cloudflare Pages for Git-based deployments and provide the necessary steps to get started.
“How do I build a stateful AI chat agent on Cloudflare?”
The agent will provide the AIChatAgent class structure, explain how to manage message history, and show how to integrate with Workers AI.
“My deployment is failing with a network timeout. What should I do?”
The agent will recommend rerunning the deployment with escalated permissions using the sandbox_permissions=require_escalated flag.

Install

Documentation by OpenAI

Cloudflare Deploy

Consolidated skill for building on the Cloudflare platform. Use decision trees below to find the right product, then load detailed references.

Prerequisites

  • When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

  • The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.

Authentication (Required Before Deploy)

Verify auth before wrangler deploy, wrangler pages deploy, or npm run deploy:

npx wrangler whoami    # Shows account if authenticated

Not authenticated? → references/wrangler/auth.md

  • Interactive/local: wrangler login (one-time OAuth)

  • CI/CD: Set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN env var

Troubleshooting

Escalated Network Access

If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use sandbox_permissions=require_escalated). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.

Example guidance to the user:

The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Cloudflare. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?

Tail Workers Gotchas & Debugging

Critical Pitfalls

1. Not Using ctx.waitUntil()

Problem: Async work doesn't complete or tail Worker times out
Cause: Handlers exit immediately; awaiting blocks processing
Solution:

// ❌ WRONG - fire and forget
export default {
  async tail(events) {
    fetch(endpoint, { body: JSON.stringify(events) });
  }
};

// ❌ WRONG - blocking await
export default {
  async tail(events, env, ctx) {
    await fetch(endpoint, { body: JSON.stringify(events) });
  }
};

// ✅ CORRECT
export default {
  async tail(events, env, ctx) {
    ctx.waitUntil(
      (async () => {
        await fetch(endpoint, { body: JSON.stringify(events) });
        await processMore();
      })()
    );
  }
};
2. Missing tail() Handler

Problem: Producer deployment fails
Cause: Worker in tail_consumers doesn't export tail() handler
Solution: Ensure export default { async tail(events, env, ctx) { ... } }

3. Outcome vs HTTP Status

Problem: Filtering by wrong status
Cause: outcome is script execution status, not HTTP status

// ❌ WRONG
if (event.outcome === 500) { /* never matches */ }

// ✅ CORRECT
if (event.outcome === 'exception') { /* script threw */ }
if (event.event?.response?.status === 500) { /* HTTP 500 */ }
4. Timestamp Units

Problem: Dates off by 1000x
Cause: Timestamps are epoch milliseconds, not seconds

// ❌ WRONG: const date = new Date(event.eventTimestamp * 1000);
// ✅ CORRECT: const date = new Date(event.eventTimestamp);
5. Type Name Mismatch

Problem: Using TailItem type
Cause: Old docs used TailItem, SDK uses TraceItem

import type { TraceItem } from '@cloudflare/workers-types';
export default {
  async tail(events: TraceItem[], env, ctx) { /* ... */ }
};
6. Excessive Logging Volume

Problem: Unexpected high costs
Cause: Invoked on EVERY producer request
Solution: Sample events

export default {
  async tail(events, env, ctx) {
    if (Math.random() > 0.1) return;  // 10% sample
    ctx.waitUntil(sendToEndpoint(events));
  }
};
7. Serialization Issues

Problem: JSON.stringify() fails
Cause: log.message is unknown[] with non-serializable values
Solution:

const safePayload = events.map(e => ({
  ...e,
  logs: e.logs.map(log => ({
    ...log,
    message: log.message.map(m => {
      try { return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(m)); }
      catch { return String(m); }
    })
  }))
}));
8. Missing Error Handling

Problem: Tail Worker silently fails
Cause: No try/catch
Solution:

ctx.waitUntil((async () => {
  try {
    await fetch(env.ENDPOINT, { body: JSON.stringify(events) });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Tail error:", error);
    await env.FALLBACK_KV.put(`failed:${Date.now()}`, JSON.stringify(events));
  }
})());
9. Deployment Order

Problem: Producer deployment fails
Cause: Tail consumer not deployed yet
Solution: Deploy tail consumer FIRST

cd tail-worker && wrangler deploy
cd ../producer && wrangler deploy
10. No Event Retry

Problem: Events lost when handler fails
Cause: Failed invocations NOT retried
Solution: Implement fallback storage (see #8)

Debugging

View logs: wrangler tail my-tail-worker

Incremental testing:

  1. Verify receipt: console.log('Events:', events.length)

  2. Inspect structure: console.log(JSON.stringify(events[0], null, 2))

  3. Add external call with ctx.waitUntil()

Monitor dashboard: Check invocation count (matches producer?), error rate, CPU time

Testing

Add test endpoint to producer:

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    if (request.url.includes('/test')) {
      console.log('Test log');
      throw new Error('Test error');
    }
    return new Response('OK');
  }
};

Trigger: curl https://producer.example.workers.dev/test

Common Errors

ErrorCauseSolution
"Tail consumer not found"Not deployedDeploy tail Worker first
"No tail handler"Missing tail()Add to default export
"waitUntil is not a function"Missing ctxAdd ctx parameter
TimeoutBlocking awaitUse ctx.waitUntil()

Performance Notes

  • Max 100 events per invocation

  • Each consumer receives all events independently

  • CPU limits same as regular Workers

  • For high volume, use Durable Objects batching
