cf-zero-trust-and-security

cf-zero-trust-and-security is a skill for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,935 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing or reviewing Cloudflare security controls, including identity-based access, traffic filtering, web-application protection, bot defense, DDoS protection, script monitoring, and API security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to protect internal apps or SSH/RDP, filter outbound traffic, review WAF rules, defend against bots and DDoS attacks, inspect frontend scripts, and secure APIs.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide which Cloudflare protections fit internal applications, public websites, networks, and APIs, and identify gaps in their current setup.

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

cf-zero-trust-and-security scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cloudflare Zero Trust and Security

When to use

  • Putting identity-aware access control in front of an internal application or SSH/RDP target.
  • Filtering DNS and HTTP egress from managed devices via Gateway.
  • Reviewing or writing WAF custom rules; enabling managed rulesets.
  • Enabling Bot Management for a public site that experiences credential stuffing, scraping, or fraud.
  • Auditing DDoS posture or enabling Magic Firewall for network-layer filtering.
  • Enabling Page Shield to detect malicious scripts loaded by your frontend.
  • Securing an API surface with API Shield (schema validation, mutual TLS, sequence mitigation).

Cloudflare Access (ZTNA)

Access is an identity-aware reverse proxy. It terminates TLS, verifies the caller's identity (via an identity provider), evaluates policy, then forwards to the origin or Tunnel.

Defaults

  • Applications: create one Access Application per protected resource. Types: Self-hosted (HTTP/HTTPS via Tunnel or public hostname), SSH, RDP, Infrastructure (SSH/RDP with browser rendering), SaaS (SAML/OIDC for SaaS apps).
  • Identity providers: connect at least one corporate IdP (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, JumpCloud). Use SAML or OIDC. Cloudflare's built-in one-time PIN (email OTP) is a fallback only — do not use it as the primary IdP for sensitive applications.
  • Policies: Access policies are evaluated top-down with Allow / Block / Bypass actions. Default-deny: unless a rule explicitly allows, access is denied.
    • Include: who can attempt access.
    • Require: additional conditions that must all pass (e.g., Device Posture: disk encryption = on).
    • Exclude: always deny regardless of includes.
  • Device posture checks: require corporate device certificates, disk encryption, OS version minimum, or endpoint detection and response (EDR) agent enrollment. Combine with Require in the policy.
  • Service tokens: machine-to-machine access uses Access Service Tokens (client ID + secret) — never a user's identity token. Rotate service tokens on a schedule.
  • Short-lived certificates: for SSH targets, issue short-lived certs (Access for Infrastructure) instead of distributing long-lived SSH keys.
  • Audience tags: every Access Application has an AUD tag; validate it in Workers or origin apps to prevent access token replay from other applications.

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.
