Workflow for building production-grade Cloudflare Workers in TypeScript - bootstrap, bindings and storage choice, routing (Hono + RPC via WorkerEntrypoint), testing with @cloudflare/vitest-plugin, gradual deployments, and common pitfalls. Use when adding a new Worker, adding endpoints to an existing Worker, choosing between KV / R2 / D1 / Durable Objects / Hyperdrive, setting up testing, configuring deployment, or reviewing a Worker PR.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/cloudflare-workers-author@sha256:956a0398068bca9e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.8d25679, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
