worker-backend

worker-backend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bierlingm/spikes. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of procedures for changing the backend of a Cloudflare Worker, a small server-side program that runs on Cloudflare. It covers areas such as authentication, request checks, API keys, Stripe billing, database changes, and API endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to modify the listed Cloudflare Worker features, update its database schema, add validation, and test request-and-response behavior.
Why use it?
It gives backend changes a defined process, including writing tests first. This helps catch incorrect success and error behavior before changes are finished.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is { "command": "cd ../spikes-hosted/worker && npx vitest run", "exitCode": 0, "observation": "8 tests pass: hashPassword generates different hashes for same passw.

Good fit Use it to modify the listed Cloudflare Worker features, update its database schema, add validation, and test request-and-response behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

worker-backend scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Backend Worker

NOTE: Startup and cleanup are handled by worker-base. This skill defines the WORK PROCEDURE.

When to Use This Skill

Features that modify the Cloudflare Worker backend at ../spikes-hosted/worker/. This includes:

  • API key system (creation, revocation, scoping, auth middleware)
  • Stripe metered billing (meters, meter events, budget enforcement)
  • Authentication endpoints
  • Stripe webhook handling (agent tier lifecycle)
  • Database schema changes (migrations)
  • API endpoint changes
  • Request validation (Zod schemas)

Work Procedure

  1. Read the feature description thoroughly. Understand preconditions and expected behavior.

  2. Understand current code. Read relevant source files in ../spikes-hosted/worker/src/. The worker may be a single index.ts (early milestones) or modularized (later milestones). Read schema.sql and any migrations to understand the database.

  3. Write tests FIRST (TDD). Create test files in ../spikes-hosted/worker/test/ using Vitest + Miniflare patterns:

    • Import env from cloudflare:test
    • Use SELF.fetch() to test request/response cycles
    • Seed D1 data in beforeEach
    • Test both success and error paths
    • Run tests: cd ../spikes-hosted/worker && npx vitest run — they MUST fail (red phase)
  4. Write database migrations if needed. Create numbered migration files in ../spikes-hosted/worker/migrations/. Migration names should be descriptive (e.g., 002_add_rate_limits_table.sql).

  5. Implement the feature. Make the tests pass (green phase). Follow existing patterns in the codebase. If modularizing, create new files in src/handlers/, src/middleware/, src/db/, or src/utils/.

  6. Run all tests. cd ../spikes-hosted/worker && npx vitest run — all tests must pass (not just new ones).

  7. Run typecheck. cd ../spikes-hosted/worker && npx tsc --noEmit — must pass with zero errors.

  8. Manually verify via wrangler dev. Start cd ../spikes-hosted/worker && npx wrangler dev --port 8787 and test the endpoint with curl. Verify the happy path and at least one error path.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
