The cloudflare skill makes Claude start from your goal and recommend Cloudflare products that fit, even if you did not name them. A request for uploads, background jobs or document search can lead to R2, Queues, Workflows or AI Search. It explains why each product fits and suggests a small combination when the task spans several.

It also picks the command-line tool. Claude uses the Cloudflare CLI (cf) unless the project already has a wrangler.jsonc, wrangler.json or wrangler.toml file and no cloudflare.config.ts, or you ask for Wrangler, in which case it uses Wrangler. For new sites it recommends Workers with static assets over Pages. The skill folder holds 135 files: SKILL.md and 134 reference files covering 26 products, and it tells Claude to check current Cloudflare docs before relying on limits or prices.

Good for

Developers building an app, API, AI agent or storage layer on Cloudflare
People who describe a need, like file uploads or background jobs, without knowing which product fits
Claude Code users who deploy with the Cloudflare CLI or Wrangler

Install cloudflare

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the cloudflare skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add cloudflare/skills
/plugin install cloudflare@cloudflare

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route, not both, or you get the skills twice. The README says the plugin installs the repo's skills together with the main Cloudflare remote MCP server. Run the two /plugin lines inside Claude Code.

What's in the skill

When it loads

Discover and choose Cloudflare products for apps, APIs, AI agents, storage, networking, and security. Use for architecture and product selection, including when the user describes a need without naming a Cloudflare product; then find the relevant skill or documentation.

Default CLI: cf, or Wrangler for projects that already use it

What it includes

Uses cf by default, Wrangler for projects with a wrangler config
Claude checks for wrangler.jsonc, wrangler.json, wrangler.toml and cloudflare.config.ts first. It does not add Wrangler to a project that has none.

Maps a need to Cloudflare products and explains the fit
It names the deciding requirement when products overlap, such as data shape, consistency or coordination.

Workers with static assets is the recommendation for new websites and apps, and existing Pages projects are left alone.

Permissions

Medium risk

The skill recommends products, but the commands Claude runs afterward can deploy code and create resources in your Cloudflare account. Use a token with narrow permissions and approve each command.

What it can do

Read your data
Create and change things
Delete things
Read-only mode

Watch out for

Follow-up commands can change your account
The skill steers Claude to the cf CLI or Wrangler, which can deploy and create resources. Approve each command and prefer a narrowly scoped token.
It can open a public GitHub issue
If you report bad guidance, the skill-feedback guide drafts an issue for cloudflare/skills and submits it, for example with `gh issue create`, only after you approve the exact title and body. GitHub issues are public, and the guide says to leave out secrets and account IDs.

Questions

What does the cloudflare skill do?

It makes Claude recommend Cloudflare products for your goal and then load the matching reference or skill to build it. It also chooses between the cf CLI and Wrangler for the project.

How do I install it in Claude Code?

Use the install box above, which adds it from the cloudflare/skills repo. Then describe a goal, for example "I need users to upload files and get them processed in the background on Cloudflare".

Do I need the wrangler or cf-cli skills too?

No. The SKILL.md says sibling skills are optional and falls back to Cloudflare's docs if a named skill is missing. For Wrangler projects it does point to the wrangler skill, and for cf projects to the cf-cli skill.

Should I use cf or Wrangler?

The skill uses cf unless the project already has a Wrangler config file and no cloudflare.config.ts, or you ask for Wrangler. It runs cf migrate only when you ask.

Does it recommend Pages or Workers?

Workers with static assets for new sites and apps. The SKILL.md says Workers can do what Pages can, and that existing Pages deployments should be left alone during unrelated work.

Does it need an API key?

The SKILL.md names no key for itself. Deploying or changing resources needs access to your Cloudflare account through whichever CLI you use.

Is it safe to install?

The skill itself is guidance. The commands Claude runs afterward, such as deploys, can change your Cloudflare account, so approve them one by one and use a narrowly scoped token.
