durable-objects

durable-objects is a skill for Codex from fanfan-de/anybox. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,361 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of durable-objects, MIT.

A development guide for Cloudflare Durable Objects, which are stateful services that keep data and coordinate activity for a specific object or group. It covers storage, remote procedure calls, timers, WebSockets, configuration, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build chat rooms, multiplayer games, booking systems, and other coordinated applications on Cloudflare. It also helps review Durable Objects code and design how state is divided.
Why use it?
It helps when a Cloudflare Worker needs shared, persistent state or coordination between users and requests. It also reduces mistakes when configuring and testing these services.

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

durable-objects 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 8d 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.

When to Use

  • Creating new Durable Object classes for stateful coordination
  • Implementing RPC methods, alarms, or WebSocket handlers
  • Reviewing existing DO code for best practices
  • Configuring wrangler.jsonc/toml for DO bindings and migrations
  • Writing tests with @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers
  • Designing sharding strategies and parent-child relationships

Reference Documentation

  • ./references/rules.md - Core rules, storage, concurrency, RPC, alarms
  • ./references/testing.md - Vitest setup, unit/integration tests, alarm testing
  • ./references/workers.md - Workers handlers, types, wrangler config, observability

Core Principles

Use Durable Objects For

Need Example
Coordination Chat rooms, multiplayer games, collaborative docs
Strong consistency Inventory, booking systems, turn-based games
Per-entity storage Multi-tenant SaaS, per-user data
Persistent connections WebSockets, real-time notifications
Scheduled work per entity Subscription renewals, game timeouts

Do NOT Use For

  • Stateless request handling (use plain Workers)
  • Maximum global distribution needs
  • High fan-out independent requests

What ships with it

Changes

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.
