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.

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:
https://autogineer.com/agent-skills/openai/cloudflare-deploy/download

Unzip it into the cross-client skills folder of your project:

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?

Bot Management Configuration

Product Tiers

Note: Dashboard paths differ between old and new UI:

New: Security > Settings > Filter "Bot traffic"
Old: Security > Bots

Both UIs access same settings.

Bot Score Groupings (Pro/Business)

Pro/Business users see bot score groupings instead of granular 1-99 scores:

Score	Grouping	Meaning
0	Not computed	Bot Management didn't run
1	Automated	Definite bot (heuristic match)
2-29	Likely automated	Probably bot (ML detection)
30-99	Likely human	Probably human
N/A	Verified bot	Allowlisted good bot

Enterprise plans get granular 1-99 scores for custom thresholds.

Bot Fight Mode (Free)

Auto-blocks definite bots (score=1), excludes verified bots by default
JavaScript Detections always enabled, no configuration options

Super Bot Fight Mode (Pro/Business)

Dashboard: Security > Bots > Configure
- Definitely automated: Block/Challenge
- Likely automated: Challenge/Allow  
- Verified bots: Allow (recommended)
- Static resource protection: ON (may block mail clients)
- JavaScript Detections: Optional

Bot Management for Enterprise

Dashboard: Security > Bots > Configure > Auto-updates: ON (recommended)

# Template 1: Block definite bots
(cf.bot_management.score eq 1 and not cf.bot_management.verified_bot and not cf.bot_management.static_resource)
Action: Block

# Template 2: Challenge likely bots
(cf.bot_management.score ge 2 and cf.bot_management.score le 29 and not cf.bot_management.verified_bot and not cf.bot_management.static_resource)
Action: Managed Challenge

JavaScript Detections Setup

Enable via Dashboard

Security > Bots > Configure Bot Management > JS Detections: ON

Update CSP: script-src 'self' /cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/;

Manual JS Injection (API)

<script>
function jsdOnload() {
  window.cloudflare.jsd.executeOnce({ callback: function(result) { console.log('JSD:', result); } });
}
</script>
<script src="/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/scripts/jsd/api.js?onload=jsdOnload" async></script>

Use API for: Selective deployment on specific pages
Don't combine: Zone-wide toggle + manual injection

WAF Rules for JSD

# NEVER use on first page visit (needs HTML page first)
(not cf.bot_management.js_detection.passed and http.request.uri.path eq "/api/user/create" and http.request.method eq "POST" and not cf.bot_management.verified_bot)
Action: Managed Challenge (always use Managed Challenge, not Block)

Limitations

First request won't have JSD data (needs HTML page first)
Strips ETags from HTML responses
Not supported with CSP via <meta> tags

Cloudflare sets __cf_bm cookie to smooth bot scores across user sessions:

Purpose: Reduces false positives from score volatility
Scope: Per-domain, HTTP-only
Lifespan: Session duration
Privacy: No PII—only session classification
Automatic: No configuration required

Bot scores for repeat visitors consider session history via this cookie.

Best Practices

ML Auto-Updates: Enable on Enterprise for latest models
Start with Managed Challenge: Test before blocking
Always exclude verified bots: Use not cf.bot_management.verified_bot
Exempt corporate proxies: For B2B traffic via cf.bot_management.corporate_proxy
Use static resource exception: Improves performance, reduces overhead
