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.

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?

DDoS Gotchas

Common Errors

"False positives blocking legitimate traffic"

Cause: Sensitivity too high, wrong action, or missing exceptions
Solution:

  1. Lower sensitivity for specific rule/category

  2. Use log action first to validate (Enterprise Advanced)

  3. Add exception with custom expression (e.g., allowlist IPs)

  4. Query flagged requests via GraphQL Analytics API to identify patterns

"Attacks getting through"

Cause: Sensitivity too low or wrong action
Solution: Increase to default sensitivity and use block action:

const config = {
  rules: [{
    expression: "true",
    action: "execute",
    action_parameters: { id: managedRulesetId, overrides: { sensitivity_level: "default", action: "block" } },
  }],
};
"Adaptive rules not working"

Cause: Insufficient traffic history (needs 7 days)
Solution: Wait for baseline to establish, check dashboard for adaptive rule status

"Zone override ignored"

Cause: Account overrides conflict with zone overrides
Solution: Configure at zone level OR remove zone overrides to use account-level

"Log action not available"

Cause: Not on Enterprise Advanced DDoS plan
Solution: Use managed_challenge with low sensitivity for testing

"Rule limit exceeded"

Cause: Too many override rules (Free/Pro/Business: 1, Enterprise Advanced: 10)
Solution: Combine conditions in single expression using and/or

"Cannot override rule"

Cause: Rule is read-only
Solution: Check API response for read-only indicator, use different rule

"Cannot disable DDoS protection"

Cause: DDoS managed rulesets cannot be fully disabled (always-on protection)
Solution: Set sensitivity_level: "eoff" for minimal mitigation

"Expression not allowed"

Cause: Custom expressions require Enterprise Advanced plan
Solution: Use expression: "true" for all traffic, or upgrade plan

"Managed ruleset not found"

Cause: Zone/account doesn't have DDoS managed ruleset, or incorrect phase
Solution: Verify ruleset exists via client.rulesets.list(), check phase name (ddos_l7 or ddos_l4)

Tuning Strategy

  1. Start with log action + medium sensitivity

  2. Monitor for 24-48 hours

  3. Identify false positives, add exceptions

  4. Gradually increase to default sensitivity

  5. Change action from log → managed_challenge → block

  6. Document all adjustments

Best Practices

  • Test during low-traffic periods

  • Use zone-level for per-site tuning

  • Reference IP lists for easier management

  • Set appropriate alert thresholds (avoid noise)

  • Combine with WAF for layered defense

  • Avoid over-tuning (keep config simple)

See patterns.md for progressive rollout examples.
