From the author

Comprehensive Cloudflare platform skill covering Workers, Pages, storage (KV, D1, R2), AI (Workers AI, Vectorize, Agents SDK), networking (Tunnel, Spectrum), security (WAF, DDoS), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi). Use for any Cloudflare development task. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge.

AutoGineer summary

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

The Cloudflare platform skill provides a centralized resource for developers building on Cloudflare's edge network. It covers the full ecosystem, including compute (Workers, Pages), storage (KV, D1, R2), AI integration (Workers AI, Agents SDK), networking, and security. The skill emphasizes a retrieval-first approach, directing users to official Cloudflare documentation and configuration schemas to ensure accuracy regarding API signatures, limits, and pricing.

What it does

Provides decision trees to help select the right Cloudflare product for specific compute, storage, or networking needs.
Offers structured references for the Cloudflare Agents SDK, including lifecycle hooks and state management.
Guides users on integrating AI models and vector databases into edge applications.
Outlines methods for managing infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or Pulumi.
Facilitates access to product-specific documentation for security, media, and analytics services.
Maintains a directory of developer tools like Wrangler and Miniflare for local development and testing.

When to use it

When starting a new project on the Cloudflare platform and needing to choose the appropriate architecture.
When implementing stateful AI agents using the Cloudflare Agents SDK.
When configuring edge compute, storage bindings, or networking rules.
When troubleshooting API limits, configuration errors, or deployment issues.
When integrating AI models or vector search into existing edge applications.

Advantages

Consolidates a vast ecosystem into a navigable, task-oriented structure.
Promotes the use of official, up-to-date documentation over potentially stale training data.
Simplifies complex architectural decisions through clear, logic-based decision trees.
Provides specific code patterns for advanced features like Durable Objects and AI agents.
Supports modern infrastructure-as-code workflows for consistent deployments.

Usage examples

“I need to build a stateful AI chat agent on Cloudflare. How do I start?”: The agent will guide you to use the AIChatAgent class from the Agents SDK, explain how to manage message history, and provide a template for integrating AI models.
“Which storage solution should I use for relational data in my Worker?”: The agent will point you to D1 for SQLite-based relational storage or Hyperdrive for connecting to existing Postgres/MySQL databases.
“How do I expose my local development server to the internet via Cloudflare?”: The agent will provide instructions on using Cloudflare Tunnel to securely connect your local service to the Cloudflare edge.

Install

mkdir -p .agents/skills && unzip cloudflare.zip -d .agents/skills

Documentation by Cloudflare

Cloudflare Platform Skill

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

Your knowledge of Cloudflare APIs, types, limits, and pricing may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training — the references in this skill are starting points, not source of truth.

Retrieval Sources

Fetch the latest information before citing specific numbers, API signatures, or configuration options. Do not rely on baked-in knowledge or these reference files alone.

Source	How to retrieve	Use for
Cloudflare docs	Search `https://developers.cloudflare.com/` directly	Limits, pricing, API reference, compatibility dates/flags
Workers types	`npm pack @cloudflare/workers-types` or check `node_modules`	Type signatures, binding shapes, handler types
Wrangler config schema	`node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json`	Config fields, binding shapes, allowed values
Product changelogs	`https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/`	Recent changes to limits, features, deprecations

When a reference file and the docs disagree, trust the docs. This is especially important for: numeric limits, pricing tiers, type signatures, and configuration options.

Cloudflare Web Analytics

Privacy-first web analytics providing Core Web Vitals, traffic metrics, and user insights without compromising visitor privacy.

Overview

Cloudflare Web Analytics provides:

Core Web Vitals - LCP, FID, CLS, INP, TTFB monitoring
Page views & visits - Traffic patterns without cookies
Referrers & paths - Traffic sources and popular pages
Device & browser data - User agent breakdown
Geographic data - Country-level visitor distribution
Privacy-first - No cookies, fingerprinting, or PII collection
Free - No cost, unlimited pageviews

Important: Web Analytics is dashboard-only. No API exists for programmatic data access.

Quick Start Decision Tree

Is your site proxied through Cloudflare?
├─ YES → Use automatic injection (configuration.md)
│   ├─ Enable auto-injection in dashboard
│   └─ No code changes needed (unless Cache-Control: no-transform)
│
└─ NO → Use manual beacon integration (integration.md)
    ├─ Add JS snippet to HTML
    ├─ Use spa: true for React/Vue/Next.js
    └─ Configure CSP if needed

Reading Order

configuration.md - Setup for proxied vs non-proxied sites
integration.md - Framework-specific beacon integration (React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, etc.)
patterns.md - Common use cases (performance monitoring, GDPR consent, multi-site tracking)
gotchas.md - Troubleshooting (SPA tracking, CSP issues, hash routing limitations)

When to Use Each File

Setting up for first time? → Start with configuration.md
Using React/Next.js/Vue/Nuxt? → Go to integration.md for framework code
Need GDPR consent loading? → See patterns.md
Beacon not loading or no data? → Check gotchas.md
SPA not tracking navigation? → See integration.md for spa: true config

Key Concepts

Proxied vs Non-Proxied Sites

Type	Description	Beacon Injection	Limit
Proxied	DNS through Cloudflare (orange cloud)	Automatic or manual	Unlimited
Non-proxied	External hosting, manual beacon	Manual only	10 sites max

SPA Mode

Critical for modern frameworks:

{"token": "YOUR_TOKEN", "spa": true}

Without spa: true, client-side navigation (React Router, Vue Router, Next.js routing) will NOT be tracked. Only initial page loads will register.

CSP Requirements

If using Content Security Policy, allow both domains:

script-src https://static.cloudflareinsights.com https://cloudflareinsights.com;

Features

Core Web Vitals Debugging

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) - Identifies slow-loading hero images/elements
FID (First Input Delay) - Interaction responsiveness (legacy metric)
INP (Interaction to Next Paint) - Modern interaction responsiveness metric
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) - Visual stability issues
TTFB (Time to First Byte) - Server response performance

Dashboard shows top 5 problematic elements with CSS selectors for debugging.

Traffic Filters

Bot filtering - Exclude automated traffic from metrics
Date ranges - Custom time period analysis
Geographic - Country-level filtering
Device type - Desktop, mobile, tablet breakdown
Browser/OS - User agent filtering

Rules (Advanced - Plan-dependent)

Create custom tracking rules for advanced configurations:

Sample Rate Rules:

Reduce data collection percentage for high-traffic sites
Example: Track only 50% of visitors to reduce volume

Path-Based Rules:

Different behavior per route
Example: Exclude /admin/* or /internal/* from tracking

Host-Based Rules:

Multi-domain configurations
Example: Separate tracking for staging vs production subdomains

Availability: Rules feature depends on your Cloudflare plan. Check dashboard under Web Analytics → Rules to see if available. Free plans may have limited or no access.

Plan Limits

Feature	Free	Notes
Proxied sites	Unlimited	DNS through Cloudflare
Non-proxied sites	10	External hosting
Pageviews	Unlimited	No volume limits
Data retention	6 months	Rolling window
Rules	Plan-dependent	Check dashboard

Privacy & Compliance

No cookies - Zero client-side storage

Limitations

Dashboard-only - No API for programmatic access
No real-time - 5-10 minute data delay
No custom events - Automatic pageview/navigation tracking only
History API only - Hash-based routing (#/path) not supported
No session replay - Metrics only, no user recordings
No form tracking - Page navigation tracking only
