Overview
Cloudflare Skills is Cloudflare's own collection of Agent Skills for building on its developer platform. Each skill is contextual guidance an agent loads when your request matches its triggers, so instead of guessing at Workers or Wrangler APIs from training data, the agent reads Cloudflare's current instructions for the product you are actually using.
The catalogue spans the platform: a router skill that helps an agent work out which Cloudflare product fits, then Workers best practices, the Agents SDK (state, scheduling, RPC, MCP servers, email, streaming chat), Durable Objects, three Sandbox skills (stable, next and a migration path between them), Wrangler for deploying KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Queues and Workflows, Next.js on Workers, the email service, Turnstile, Core Web Vitals auditing, and Cloudflare One with a companion migration-assessment skill.
The repository doubles as a plugin marketplace. Installing the plugin brings in both the guidance and Cloudflare's main remote MCP server — the Code Mode server that reaches the Cloudflare API and its developer documentation. Product-specific MCP servers exist separately; the plugin deliberately bundles only the main one.
What it does
- Agent Skills covering Workers, the Agents SDK, Durable Objects, Sandbox, Wrangler, Cloudflare One and Next.js on Workers
- Skills load automatically when a conversation matches their triggers, rather than being pasted into a prompt
- Ships as a plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Codex, VS Code / GitHub Copilot and Cursor
- Bundles Cloudflare's main remote Code Mode MCP server for API and docs access
- Migration-oriented skills: Sandbox stable → next, and Cloudflare One migrations from Zscaler, Palo Alto and legacy VPN/SWG
- Plain folders, so you can copy individual skills into any agent that follows the Agent Skills standard
Getting started
Use the native plugin where your agent supports one — that installs the guidance and the MCP server together. Agents that only understand the Agent Skills standard can take the skill folders directly.
Claude Code
Add the marketplace, then install the plugin.
/plugin marketplace add cloudflare/skills
/plugin install cloudflare@cloudflareCodex
Same two steps from the shell; start a new Codex session afterwards.
codex plugin marketplace add cloudflare/skills
codex plugin add cloudflare@cloudflareVS Code / GitHub Copilot
Enable `chat.plugins.enabled` in settings, run "Chat: Install Plugin From Source" from the Command Palette and paste the repository URL.
https://github.com/cloudflare/skillsAny agent, via the skills CLI or a copy
The `npx skills` CLI installs straight from the repo; otherwise clone it and copy skill folders into your agent's skills directory (~/.claude/skills/, ~/.cursor/skills/, ~/.codex/skills/, ~/.config/opencode/skills/).
npx skills add https://github.com/cloudflare/skillsCommands and code are distilled from the project's own documentation — always check the official repo for the latest.
When to use it
- Stop an agent inventing Workers or Wrangler APIs by giving it Cloudflare's own product guidance
- Deploy KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Queues and Workflows through an agent that knows the current Wrangler surface
- Build stateful agents on the Agents SDK and Durable Objects with the patterns Cloudflare recommends
- Plan a Cloudflare One rollout or a migration off Zscaler / Palo Alto with the assessment skills
