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

Download the skill as a ZIP:
https://autogineer.com/agent-skills/openai/cloudflare/download

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

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.

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)

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
Websocket endpoints not supported
Native mobile apps won't pass
cf_clearance cookie: 15-minute lifespan, max 4096 bytes

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.

Static Resource Protection

File Extensions: ico, jpg, png, jpeg, gif, css, js, tif, tiff, bmp, pict, webp, svg, svgz, class, jar, txt, csv, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, ps, pls, ppt, pptx, ttf, otf, woff, woff2, eot, eps, ejs, swf, torrent, midi, mid, m3u8, m4a, mp3, ogg, ts Plus: /.well-known/ path (all files)

# Exclude static resources from bot rules
(cf.bot_management.score lt 30 and not cf.bot_management.static_resource)

WARNING: May block mail clients fetching static images

JA3/JA4 Fingerprinting (Enterprise)

# Block specific attack fingerprint
(cf.bot_management.ja3_hash eq "8b8e3d5e3e8b3d5e")

# Allow mobile app by fingerprint
(cf.bot_management.ja4 eq "your_mobile_app_fingerprint")

Only available for HTTPS/TLS traffic. Missing for Worker-routed traffic or HTTP requests.

Verified Bot Categories

# Allow search engines only
(cf.verified_bot_category eq "Search Engine Crawler")

# Block AI crawlers
(cf.verified_bot_category eq "AI Crawler")
Action: Block

# Or use dashboard: Security > Settings > Bot Management > Block AI Bots

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
