From the author

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

Cloudflare Deploy provides a centralized framework for developers to build, host, and manage projects on Cloudflare. It covers the entire ecosystem, including serverless compute (Workers), full-stack web hosting (Pages), persistent storage (D1, R2, KV), and AI-powered agent development. The skill includes decision trees to help select the right product for specific needs, authentication guidance, and troubleshooting steps for deployment issues.

What it does

  • Provides decision trees to select the appropriate Cloudflare product for compute, storage, AI, or networking.
  • Offers guidance on authenticating with the Cloudflare platform via CLI or CI/CD.
  • Includes a comprehensive product index for quick reference to documentation.
  • Provides specific patterns and API references for building stateful AI agents using the Agents SDK.
  • Offers troubleshooting steps for network-related deployment failures.
  • Supports infrastructure-as-code integration with tools like Pulumi and Terraform.

When to use it

  • When you need to deploy, host, or publish a project to Cloudflare.
  • When you are unsure which Cloudflare service (e.g., Workers vs. Pages) best fits your application requirements.
  • When you need to build stateful, globally distributed AI agents.
  • When you encounter network errors or timeouts during the deployment process.
  • When setting up persistent storage or database solutions within the Cloudflare ecosystem.

Advantages

  • Consolidates fragmented documentation into a single, navigable resource.
  • Simplifies product selection through clear, use-case-driven decision trees.
  • Provides actionable code patterns for complex tasks like AI agent development.
  • Addresses common deployment friction points like authentication and network sandboxing.

Usage examples

“I need to deploy a full-stack web application to Cloudflare. Which service should I use?”
The agent will guide you to use Cloudflare Pages for full-stack web apps with Git-based deployments.
“How do I build an AI chat agent on Cloudflare?”
The agent will provide the Agents SDK reference, including the AIChatAgent class and examples for streaming responses and managing message history.
“My deployment is failing with a network timeout error. What should I do?”
The agent will advise you to rerun the deployment command with the sandbox_permissions=require_escalated flag to bypass network restrictions.
“How do I store relational data for my worker?”
The agent will recommend using D1 for SQLite-based relational storage or Hyperdrive for connecting to existing Postgres/MySQL databases.

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?

Configuration

Basic Setup

Minimal configuration requires only assets.directory:

{
  "name": "my-worker",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-01-01",  // Use current date for new projects
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./dist"
  }
}
Full Configuration Options
{
  "name": "my-worker",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-01-01",
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./dist",
    "binding": "ASSETS",
    "not_found_handling": "single-page-application",
    "html_handling": "auto-trailing-slash",
    "run_worker_first": ["/api/*", "!/api/docs/*"]
  }
}

Configuration keys:

  • directory (string, required): Path to assets folder (e.g. ./dist, ./public, ./build)

  • binding (string, optional): Name to access assets in Worker code (e.g. env.ASSETS). Default: "ASSETS"

  • not_found_handling (string, optional): Behavior when asset not found

    • "single-page-application": Serve /index.html for non-asset paths (default for SPAs)

    • "404-page": Serve /404.html if present, otherwise 404

    • "none": Return 404 for missing assets

  • html_handling (string, optional): URL trailing slash behavior

  • run_worker_first (boolean | string[], optional): Routes that invoke Worker before checking assets

not_found_handling Modes
ModeBehaviorUse Case
"single-page-application"Serve /index.html for non-asset requestsReact, Vue, Angular SPAs
"404-page"Serve /404.html if exists, else 404Static sites with custom error page
"none"Return 404 for missing assetsAPI-first or custom routing
html_handling Modes

Controls trailing slash behavior for HTML files:

Mode/page/page/Use Case
"auto-trailing-slash"Redirect to /page/ if /page/index.html existsServe /page/index.htmlDefault, SEO-friendly
"force-trailing-slash"Always redirect to /page/Serve if existsConsistent trailing slashes
"drop-trailing-slash"Serve if existsRedirect to /pageCleaner URLs
"none"No modificationNo modificationCustom routing logic

Default: "auto-trailing-slash"

run_worker_first Configuration

Controls which requests invoke Worker before checking assets.

Boolean syntax:

{
  "assets": {
    "run_worker_first": true  // ALL requests invoke Worker
  }
}

Array syntax (recommended):

{
  "assets": {
    "run_worker_first": [
      "/api/*",           // Positive pattern: match API routes
      "/admin/*",         // Match admin routes
      "!/admin/assets/*"  // Negative pattern: exclude admin assets
    ]
  }
}

Pattern rules:

  • Glob patterns: * (any chars), ** (any path segments)

  • Negative patterns: Prefix with ! to exclude

  • Precedence: Negative patterns override positive patterns

  • Default: false (assets served directly)

Decision guidance:

  • Use true for API-first apps (few static assets)

  • Use array patterns for hybrid apps (APIs + static assets)

  • Use false for static-first sites (minimal dynamic routes)

.assetsignore File

Exclude files from upload using .assetsignore (same syntax as .gitignore):

# .assetsignore
_worker.js
*.map
*.md
node_modules/
.git/

Common patterns:

  • _worker.js - Exclude Worker code from assets

  • *.map - Exclude source maps

  • *.md - Exclude markdown files

  • Development artifacts

Vite Plugin Integration

For Vite-based projects, use @cloudflare/vite-plugin:

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { cloudflare } from '@cloudflare/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    cloudflare({
      assets: {
        directory: './dist',
        binding: 'ASSETS'
      }
    })
  ]
});

Features:

  • Automatic asset detection during dev

  • Hot module replacement for assets

  • Production build integration

  • Requires: Wrangler 4.0.0+, @cloudflare/vite-plugin 1.0.0+

Key Compatibility Dates
DateFeatureImpact
2025-04-01Navigation request optimizationSPAs skip Worker for navigation, reducing costs

Use current date for new projects. See Compatibility Dates for full list.

Environment-Specific Configuration

Use wrangler.jsonc environments for different configs:

{
  "name": "my-worker",
  "assets": { "directory": "./dist" },
  "env": {
    "staging": {
      "assets": {
        "not_found_handling": "404-page"
      }
    },
    "production": {
      "assets": {
        "not_found_handling": "single-page-application"
      }
    }
  }
}

Deploy with: wrangler deploy --env staging
