## What it does

Ten skills ship with the plugin. `fastly` covers services, caching, VCL, WAF, TLS and DDoS protection; `fastly-cli` handles services and Compute apps from the command line; `fastly-fiddle` runs VCL against real edge infrastructure; `fastly-stats` deals with traffic numbers and the unit, window and aggregation rules behind them; `fastly-ngwaf` audits Next-Gen WAF workspaces for protection rules that are missing or switched off. Around VCL there are `falco`, `fastlike`, `viceroy`, `xvcl` and `fastly-reference-architectures`, the last pointing at GitHub repos with working setups.

Every skill sits under `skills/` with a `SKILL.md` entrypoint plus a `references/` folder of topic files. Those companion files carry much of the detail, so the agent has to be allowed to read from `references/` — without that permission it skips the context. Installing the plugin does not install the developer tools and does not connect a Fastly account; set up authentication yourself with the CLI's interactive login or local config.

Requirements differ per workflow. CLI work and traffic stats need the Fastly CLI with authentication configured, and raw API examples also want `curl` and `jq`. The NGWAF assessment script runs on Bash, `curl`, `jq` and a locally configured `FASTLY_API_KEY` that can reach the workspace. VCL linting and tests need Falco, installed through Homebrew or Go.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install fastly-agent-toolkit@claude-plugins-official
```

```

## When to use it
- trace how caching and VCL are wired in a Fastly service
- test VCL against real edge infrastructure before shipping
- read traffic stats without mixing up units and aggregation windows
- spot disabled protection rules in a Next-Gen WAF workspace
- serve a Compute app locally and run its tests

## Example prompts
- Walk me through caching and purge setup for our Fastly service
- Run Falco over our VCL and explain what the linter flags
- Pull last week's traffic stats with the Fastly CLI and check the units

## Agent Plugins

This repository is a portable [Agent Plugin](https://agent-plugins.org/specification).
Clients load the root [`plugin.json`](plugin.json) manifest and discover the skills in `skills/`.

## Available skills

- `fastly`: Working with the Fastly platform, including services, caching, VCL, WAF, TLS, DDoS protection, purging, and API usage.
- `fastly-cli`: Using the [Fastly CLI](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/cli/) to manage services, compute apps, logging, WAF, TLS, key-value stores, and stats.
- `fastly-fiddle`: Testing VCL against real Fastly edge infrastructure with [Fastly Fiddle](https://fiddle.fastly.dev/), covering assertion-based tests, the Fiddle HTTP API, shareable bug reproductions, and CI integration.
- `fastly-stats`: Fastly traffic numbers via the CLI or raw HTTP, covering the Historical Stats, Real-Time analytics, and Origin/Domain Inspector APIs, and owning the unit, window, and aggregation conventions that decide whether a reported figure is right.
- `fastly-ngwaf`: Auditing Next-Gen WAF workspaces for missing or disabled protection rules and checking whether attack traffic is being blocked.
- `fastly-reference-architectures`: Curated GitHub repositories demonstrating working reference architectures on Fastly, from single Compute applications to systems combining multiple Fastly products.
- `falco`: VCL development with [Falco](https://github.com/ysugimoto/falco), covering linting, testing, simulation, formatting, REPL, and Terraform integration.
- `fastlike`: Running Fastly Compute locally with [Fastlike](https://github.com/avidal/fastlike), covering backend configuration, builds, and testing.
- `viceroy`: Running Fastly Compute locally with [Viceroy](https://github.com/fastly/Viceroy), covering serving, configuration, testing, and SDK adaptation.
- `xvcl`: The [XVCL](https://dip-proto.github.io/xvcl/) VCL transpiler, covering syntax extensions, subroutines, header manipulation, and caching logic.

Each skill lives under `skills/` with a `SKILL.md` entrypoint and a `references/` directory containing detailed topic files.

**Important:** SKILL.md files reference companion files in their `references/` directory. Make sure your agent is allowed to read from these directories, otherwise it won't be able to follow the references and will miss important context.

## Runtime requirements

These skills are intended for coding environments that can read project files and run commands.
Install the tools for the workflows you use; installing the plugin does not install its developer tools or connect a Fastly account.
