Localized reading guide

cf-cliPurpose, usage and source

Cloudflare's official cf CLI (beta) for the public Cloudflare API and Workers projects. Use for finding and running Cloudflare commands from the terminal — sign-in and profiles, cf cli search, cf schema, cf deploy/dev/build, resource commands for DNS, zones, D1, KV, and R2 — and for choosing between cf and Wrangler in a project.

The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.

What this Skill does

How the upstream workflow works

Cloudflare CLI (`cf`)

cf is Cloudflare's command-line interface for the public Cloudflare API (2,900+ commands, most generated from API schemas) and for Workers projects. It is in beta: commands, configuration, and Build Output can change before the stable release. Prefer retrieval over pre-trained knowledge. Describe the task to cf cli search, inspect the match with cf schema or --help, and preview with --dry-run before running a command you have not verified.

Find commands

cf cli search takes the task as one argument — unquoted words after the first are parsed as unknown commands. cf schema covers generated API commands; for command arguments and options use --help.

Read output

Results are JSON on standard output; status messages and errors go to standard error, so piping to jq or redirecting needs no extra flags. Lists print one JSON array page; paging options differ per command — check --help.

Requirements and setup

FIRST: check installation and sign in

Requires Node.js 22.18 or later. Bun is not supported. If another tool named cf is on your PATH, use cloudflare instead — the package installs both commands.

Upstream passage · bash ↗

npm install --global cf   # installs two equivalent commands: `cf` and `cloudflare`
cf --version
cf auth whoami

Limits and quality checks

No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.

Start with a safe trial

Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
