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.

Install

Download the skill as a ZIP:

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

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?

Best Practices Summary

Smart Shield Note: Argo Smart Routing evolving into Smart Shield. Best practices below remain applicable; monitor Cloudflare changelog for Smart Shield updates.

Always check editability before attempting to enable/disable Argo
Set up billing notifications to avoid unexpected costs
Combine with Tiered Cache for maximum performance benefit
Use in production only - disable for dev/staging to control costs
Monitor analytics - require 500+ requests in 48h for detailed metrics
Handle errors gracefully - check for billing, permissions, zone compatibility
Test configuration changes in staging before production
Use TypeScript SDK for type safety and better developer experience
Implement retry logic for API calls in production systems
Document zone-specific settings for team visibility

Common Errors

"Argo unavailable"

Problem: API returns error "Argo Smart Routing is unavailable for this zone"

Cause: Zone not eligible or billing not set up

Solution:

Verify zone has Enterprise or higher plan
Check billing is configured in Account → Billing
Ensure payment method is valid and current
Contact Cloudflare support if eligibility unclear

"Cannot enable/disable"

Problem: API call succeeds but status remains unchanged, or editable: false in GET response

Cause: Insufficient permissions or zone restrictions

Solution:

Check API token has Zone:Argo Smart Routing:Edit permission
Verify editable: true in GET response before attempting PATCH
If editable: false, check:
- Billing configured for account
- Zone plan includes Argo (Enterprise+)
- No active zone holds or suspensions
- API token has correct scopes

`editable: false` Error

Problem: GET request returns "editable": false, preventing enable/disable

Cause: Zone-level restrictions from billing, plan, or permissions

Solution Pattern:

const status = await client.argo.smartRouting.get({ zone_id: zoneId });

if (!status.editable) {
  // Don't attempt to modify - will fail
  console.error('Cannot modify Argo settings:');
  console.error('- Check billing is configured');
  console.error('- Verify zone has Enterprise+ plan');
  console.error('- Confirm API token has Edit permission');
  throw new Error('Argo is not editable for this zone');
}

// Safe to proceed with enable/disable
await client.argo.smartRouting.edit({ zone_id: zoneId, value: 'on' });

Rate Limiting

Problem: 429 Too Many Requests error from API

Cause: Exceeded API rate limits (typically 1200 requests per 5 minutes)

Solution:

import { RateLimitError } from 'cloudflare';

try {
  await client.argo.smartRouting.edit({ zone_id: zoneId, value: 'on' });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
    const retryAfter = error.response?.headers.get('retry-after');
    console.log(`Rate limited. Retry after ${retryAfter} seconds`);
    
    // Implement exponential backoff
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, (retryAfter || 60) * 1000));
