cloudflare-workers-author

cloudflare-workers-author is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,990 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building Cloudflare Workers, which are small programs that run on Cloudflare's network instead of a traditional server. It covers TypeScript services, routes, storage bindings, testing, and deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or extending Workers, Durable Objects, Queues, scheduled jobs, email handlers, Pages Functions, or their deployment and test setup.
Why use it?
It helps avoid runtime mistakes and poor choices around storage, secrets, state, routing, testing, and gradual releases.

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

cloudflare-workers-author 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (evals/fixtures/stateful-worker.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Cloudflare Workers Author

Companion rule: 401-cloudflare-workers.mdc (file-scoped to wrangler.{jsonc,toml,json} and common Worker entry-point names). The rule is the gate (non-negotiables); this skill is the workflow (how to actually build the Worker).

Voice: opinionated. Cloudflare Workers is a small, fast platform with a specific runtime model. Most production incidents come from treating it like a generic Node.js server (top-level await, mutable module state, unbounded loops, secrets in logs, public-URL Worker-to-Worker calls). The workflow below prevents those.


When to invoke this skill

Invoke when:

  • The user asks to build a new Cloudflare Worker, Durable Object, Workflow, Queue consumer, Cron Trigger, Email Worker, or Pages Function.
  • The user is adding routes / endpoints to an existing Worker.
  • The user asks "should I use KV / D1 / R2 / DO / Hyperdrive for this?" (the bindings-and-storage decision matrix is the answer).
  • The user is setting up testing for a Worker.
  • The user is configuring deployment (gradual rollouts, OIDC for GitHub Actions, secret rotation).
  • A PR review touches wrangler.jsonc, a Worker entry-point file, or a binding configuration.

Do NOT invoke for:

  • Cloudflare Pages static-site work (not Worker authoring). See cloud-platforms/references/cloudflare.md § Pages.
  • WAF rule authoring (use cloudflare-waf-author skill instead).
  • Generic JavaScript / TypeScript code that happens to be imported by a Worker - delegate to the typescript-javascript skill.

Pre-step: classify what you're building

Each Worker type has a different entry-point shape and different bindings emphasis. Ask the user which one if unclear - the wrong entry-point shape is a wrong-handler-signature bug that won't surface until deploy time.

Type Entry point Most common bindings
Default-export HTTP Worker export default { async fetch(req, env, ctx) {...} } satisfies ExportedHandler<Env> KV, D1, R2, AI, Service Bindings
Named-entrypoint (RPC target) export default class extends WorkerEntrypoint { async myMethod() {...} } Same, called via Service Binding from another Worker
Durable Object export class Room extends DurableObject {...} + a default fetch handler that routes to DO DO storage + KV / R2 for cold data
Workflow export class MyWorkflow extends WorkflowEntrypoint { async run(event, step) {...} } KV, D1, R2, Service Bindings, AI
Queue consumer export default { async queue(batch, env, ctx) {...} } D1, R2, Service Bindings, AI
Cron Trigger export default { async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {...} } KV, D1, R2, Service Bindings
Email Worker export default { async email(message, env, ctx) {...} } R2 for attachments, D1 for logs
Pages Function export const onRequest: PagesFunction<Env> = async (ctx) => {...} (in functions/[[path]].ts) KV, D1, R2 (subset of full Worker bindings)

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

cloudflare-workers-author is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook (16 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,990 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
