What is cloudflare-troubleshooting?

A method for diagnosing Cloudflare configuration problems through the Cloudflare API, such as redirect loops, SSL errors, and DNS issues. The API is a way to inspect and manage Cloudflare settings with commands or code.

Use it to investigate redirect loops, certificate problems, DNS failures, and other Cloudflare-related configuration issues.

It replaces assumptions with checks of the real domain configuration and recent changes, which helps identify settings that interact unexpectedly.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.02686
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.01343
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00537
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00269

Security

Grade C, and why

cloudflare-troubleshooting scanned grade C with 2 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_cloudflare_config.py, scripts/fix_ssl_mode.py), 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.

Cloudflare Troubleshooting

Core Principle

Investigate with evidence, not assumptions. Always query Cloudflare API to examine actual configuration before diagnosing issues. The skill's value is the systematic investigation methodology, not predetermined solutions.

Investigation Methodology

1. Gather Credentials

Request from user:

Domain name
Cloudflare account email
Cloudflare Global API Key (or API Token)

Global API Key location: Cloudflare Dashboard → My Profile → API Tokens → View Global API Key

2. Get Zone Information

First step for any Cloudflare troubleshooting - obtain the zone ID:

curl -s -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones?name=<domain>" \
  -H "X-Auth-Email: <email>" \
  -H "X-Auth-Key: <api_key>" | jq '.'

Extract zone_id from result[0].id for subsequent API calls.

3. Investigate Systematically

For each issue, gather evidence before making conclusions. Use Cloudflare API to inspect:

Current configuration state
Recent changes (if audit log available)
Related settings that might interact

Common Investigation Patterns

Redirect Loops (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

Evidence gathering sequence:

Check SSL/TLS mode:

curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/settings/ssl" \
  -H "X-Auth-Email: email" \
  -H "X-Auth-Key: key"

Look for: result.value - tells current SSL mode

Check Always Use HTTPS setting:

curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/settings/always_use_https" \
  -H "X-Auth-Email: email" \
  -H "X-Auth-Key: key"

Check Page Rules for redirects:

curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/pagerules" \
  -H "X-Auth-Email: email" \
  -H "X-Auth-Key: key"

Look for: forwarding_url or always_use_https actions

Test origin server directly (if possible):

curl -I -H "Host: <domain>" https://<origin_ip>

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

cloudflare-troubleshooting is a skill published in the GitHub repository seaworld008/Commonly-used-high-value-skills (70 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,686 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
