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

Gotchas & Debugging
Error Diagnosis
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Function not invoking | Wrong /functions location, wrong extension, or _routes.json excludes path | Check pages_build_output_dir, use .js/.ts, verify _routes.json |
ctx.env.BINDING undefined | Binding not configured or name mismatch | Add to wrangler.jsonc, verify exact name (case-sensitive), redeploy |
TypeScript errors on ctx.env | Missing type definition | Run wrangler types or define interface Env {} |
| Middleware not running | Wrong filename/location or missing ctx.next() | Name exactly _middleware.js, export onRequest, call ctx.next() |
| Secrets missing in production | .dev.vars not deployed | .dev.vars is local only - set production secrets via dashboard or wrangler secret put |
| Type mismatch on binding | Wrong interface type | See api.md bindings table for correct types |
| "KV key not found" but exists | Key in wrong namespace or env | Verify namespace binding, check preview vs production env |
| Function times out | Synchronous wait or missing await | All I/O must be async/await, use ctx.waitUntil() for background tasks |
Common Errors
TypeScript type errors
Problem: ctx.env.MY_BINDING shows type error
Cause: No type definition for Env
Solution: Run npx wrangler types or manually define:
interface Env { MY_BINDING: KVNamespace; }
export const onRequest: PagesFunction<Env> = async (ctx) => { /* ... */ };Secrets not available in production
Problem: ctx.env.SECRET_KEY is undefined in production
Cause: .dev.vars is local-only, not deployed
Solution: Set production secrets:
echo "value" | npx wrangler pages secret put SECRET_KEY --project-name=my-appDebugging
// Console logging
export async function onRequest(ctx) {
console.log('Request:', ctx.request.method, ctx.request.url);
const res = await ctx.next();
console.log('Status:', res.status);
return res;
}# Stream real-time logs
npx wrangler pages deployment tail
npx wrangler pages deployment tail --status error// Source maps (wrangler.jsonc)

Best Practices
Performance: Minimize deps (cold start), use KV for cache/D1 for relational/R2 for large files, set Cache-Control headers, batch DB ops, handle errors gracefully
Security: Never commit secrets (use .dev.vars + gitignore), validate input, sanitize before DB, implement auth middleware, set CORS headers, rate limit per-IP
Migration
Workers → Pages Functions:
export default { fetch(req, env) {} }→export function onRequest(ctx) { const { request, env } = ctx; }Use
_worker.jsfor complex routing:env.ASSETS.fetch(request)for static files
Other platforms → Pages:
File-based routing:
/functions/api/users.js→/api/usersDynamic routes:
[param]not:paramReplace Node.js deps with Workers APIs or add

A static scan is not a guarantee. Skills are third-party content: review a skill before you let an agent use it.
