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.

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 authenticatedNot authenticated? → references/wrangler/auth.md
Interactive/local:
wrangler login(one-time OAuth)CI/CD: Set

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?Files

Cloudflare Zaraz
Expert guidance for Cloudflare Zaraz - server-side tag manager for loading third-party tools at the edge.
What is Zaraz?
Zaraz offloads third-party scripts (analytics, ads, chat, marketing) to Cloudflare's edge, improving site speed, privacy, and security. Zero client-side performance impact.
Core Concepts:
Server-side execution - Scripts run on Cloudflare, not user's browser
Single HTTP request - All tools loaded via one endpoint
Privacy-first - Control data sent to third parties
No client-side JS overhead - Minimal browser impact
Quick Start
Navigate to domain > Zaraz in Cloudflare dashboard
Click "Start setup"
Add tools (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.)
Configure triggers (when tools fire)
Add tracking code to your site:
// Track page view
zaraz.track('page_view');
// Track custom event
zaraz.track('button_click', { button_id: 'cta' });
// Set user properties
zaraz.set('userId', 'user_123');When to Use Zaraz
Use Zaraz when:
Adding multiple third-party tools (analytics, ads, marketing)
Site performance is critical (no client-side JS overhead)
Privacy compliance required (GDPR, CCPA)
Non-technical teams need to manage tools
Use Workers directly when:
Building custom server-side tracking logic
Need full control over data processing
Integrating with complex backend systems
Zaraz's tool library doesn't meet needs
