Cloudflare Platform Skill

This skill is for Cloudflare product selection and platform architecture. For workspace operational work such as WARP, Zero Trust, Access, Tunnel, DNS, or edge-policy review, start from cloudflare-governance.

Use This Skill

• When you need to choose the right Cloudflare product or service.
• When you are building or reviewing Cloudflare platform work across Workers, Pages, storage, networking, security, AI, or IaC.
• When you need official Cloudflare product decision trees before writing code or config.

Quick Decision Trees

I need to run code

• Serverless functions at the edge -> Workers
• Full-stack web app with Git deploys -> Pages
• Stateful coordination or real-time -> Durable Objects
• Long-running multi-step jobs -> Workflows
• Run containers -> Containers
• Multi-tenant customer-deployed code -> Workers for Platforms
• Scheduled tasks -> Cron Triggers
• Lightweight edge logic -> Snippets
• Process execution events -> Tail Workers
• Optimize latency to backend infrastructure -> Smart Placement

I need to store data

• Key-value -> KV
• Relational SQL -> D1 or Hyperdrive
• Object/file storage -> R2
• Message queue -> Queues
• Vector embeddings -> Vectorize
• Strongly consistent per-entity state -> Durable Objects
• Secrets management -> Secrets Store
• Streaming ETL to R2 -> Pipelines
• Persistent cache -> Cache Reserve

I need networking or security

• Expose local service to internet -> Tunnel
• TCP/UDP proxy -> Spectrum
• WebRTC TURN server -> TURN
• Private network connectivity -> Network Interconnect
• Optimize routing -> Argo Smart Routing
• Web Application Firewall -> WAF
• DDoS protection -> DDoS Protection
• Bot detection or management -> Bot Management
• API protection -> API Shield
• CAPTCHA alternative -> Turnstile

I need AI or media

• Run inference -> Workers AI
• AI gateway or AI search -> AI Gateway or AI Search
• Build stateful AI agents -> Agents SDK
• Image optimization -> Images
• Video streaming -> Stream
• Browser automation or screenshots -> Browser Rendering
• Third-party script management -> Zaraz

I need IaC

• Use Pulumi, Terraform, or the REST API when you are managing Cloudflare infrastructure as code.

References

• Use the Cloudflare docs for the specific product you selected.
• Prefer product-specific skills when the task is narrow.

Route To

• Use wrangler when the task is primarily wrangler CLI, wrangler.jsonc, deploy, or local dev.
• Use building-mcp-server-on-cloudflare when the task is specifically about remote MCP servers on Workers.
• Use cloudflare-governance when the task is operational or administrative and spans Access, Tunnel, DNS, edge security, Zero Trust, WARP, or local runtime state.
