Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare Workers - Comprehensive Platform Plugin

Version: 1.0.0 Status: Production Ready ✅ Maintained by: Claude Skills Maintainers

Overview

The cloudflare-workers plugin is your complete guide to Cloudflare Workers development. It covers everything from testing and CI/CD to observability, performance optimization, security, and framework integration.

Best Practices

For Testing

1. Use Vitest with @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers
2. Mock all bindings (D1, KV, R2, DO) in tests
3. Test both unit and integration scenarios
4. Aim for 80%+ code coverage
5. Run tests in CI/CD pipeline

For Deployment

1. Use environment-specific wrangler.jsonc configurations
2. Store secrets with wrangler secret put
3. Test in staging before production
4. Use gradual rollouts for risky changes
5. Monitor logs with wrangler tail

For Performance

1. Keep bundle size under 100KB
2. Use Cache API for repeated requests
3. Minimize cold start impact (lazy load dependencies)
4. Use streaming for large responses
5. Profile with performance metrics

For Security

1. Always validate user input
2. Implement CORS properly
3. Use CSRF tokens for state-changing operations
4. Implement rate limiting
5. Set security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options)

Troubleshooting

Skills not triggering

Make sure you're using trigger phrases from the skill descriptions:

• ✅ "test workers", "vitest", "mock bindings"
• ❌ "how to test" (too generic)

Commands not found

Verify plugin is enabled:

cc --list-plugins | grep cloudflare-workers

If missing, reinstall:

cc --plugin-install cloudflare-workers@claude-skills

Agent not activating

Check trigger conditions:

• workers-test-generator: "generate tests" or detects missing tests
• workers-performance-analyzer: "slow", "performance", "optimize"
• workers-security-auditor: "security audit" or proactive scan
