Cloudflare

Manage Cloudflare zones, DNS, SSL, tunnels, and settings via the bundled scripts/cf.sh bash script.

Prerequisites

• curl, jq, and openssl must be available on the system
• Set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variable
• Optionally set CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID for tunnel operations

CLI: scripts/cf.sh

All operations go through the bundled scripts/cf.sh bash script (included in this skill). No external downloads needed.

# Run from skill directory
./scripts/cf.sh <command> [args...]
# Or reference by absolute path
/path/to/skills/cloudflare/scripts/cf.sh <command> [args...]

Proxied flag

• true — orange cloud, traffic through Cloudflare (CDN, WAF, DDoS)
• false — grey cloud, DNS-only (use for MX, non-HTTP services)

TTL

• 1 = automatic (Cloudflare-managed)
• Set explicit seconds for DNS-only records (e.g., 3600)

Typical workflows

Point domain to server

# Find zone ID
cf zones example.com
# Create A record (proxied)
cf dns-create <zone_id> A example.com 1.2.3.4 true
# Create www CNAME
cf dns-create <zone_id> CNAME www.example.com example.com true

Set up email (MX + SPF)

cf dns-create <zone_id> MX example.com "mx.provider.com" false 1
cf dns-create <zone_id> TXT example.com "v=spf1 include:provider.com ~all" false

Enable strict SSL

cf ssl-set <zone_id> strict

Safety rules

Always confirm with the user before:

• Deleting DNS records (dns-delete)
• Changing SSL mode
• Modifying firewall rules
• Any destructive operation

Safe to do freely:

• Listing/reading zones, records, settings, analytics
• Verifying token
