## What it does

The skill provides step-by-step guidance for managing Cloudflare R2 object storage. It includes CLI commands for Wrangler v3+, configuration examples for AWS CLI and Python's boto3 client, and integration code for Cloudflare Workers.

It helps the agent create regional buckets, upload assets with explicit Content-Type headers, manage public access domains, and generate presigned download URLs. The skill also provides TypeScript snippets for handling GET, PUT, and DELETE HTTP requests directly inside an edge worker.

You must have an active R2 subscription on Cloudflare, Wrangler v3+ installed, and an authenticated session or API token ready. S3 API compatibility also depends on creating dedicated R2 Access Keys in the dashboard.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cloudflare-r2 -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cloudflare-r2/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cloudflare-r2 -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cloudflare-r2 -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills cloudflare-r2
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cloudflare-r2 -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --path infrastructure/cloudflare/cloudflare-r2
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill cloudflare-r2 -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills/tree/HEAD/infrastructure/cloudflare/cloudflare-r2/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Create regional R2 buckets using Wrangler CLI
- Generate time-limited presigned URLs with boto3 or aws4fetch
- Bind R2 buckets to Cloudflare Workers via `wrangler.toml`
- Sync static asset directories using AWS CLI with R2 endpoints

## Example prompts
- Create an R2 bucket named eu-uploads with location set to eu
- Write a Cloudflare Worker fetch handler to upload and delete files in R2
- Show me how to sync a local build directory to my R2 bucket via AWS CLI

# Cloudflare R2

S3-compatible object storage with zero egress fees, built on Cloudflare's global network.

## When to Use

- Storing user uploads, media files, backups, or static assets.
- Replacing AWS S3 to eliminate egress costs for read-heavy workloads.
- Serving files at the edge via Workers or public bucket access.
- Building multi-cloud storage that avoids vendor lock-in (S3 API compatible).
- Storing ML model artifacts, training data, or inference results.

## Prerequisites

- Cloudflare account with R2 enabled (dashboard > R2 > subscribe).
- Wrangler CLI v3+ installed: `npm install -g wrangler`.
- Authenticated via `wrangler login` or `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`.
- For S3 API access: R2 API token created under **R2 > Manage R2 API Tokens**.

## Bucket Management with Wrangler

### Create and List Buckets

```bash
# Create a new bucket
npx wrangler r2 bucket create app-assets

# Create a bucket in a specific region (hint for data locality)
npx wrangler r2 bucket create eu-uploads --location=eu

# List all buckets
npx wrangler r2 bucket list

# Delete an empty bucket
npx wrangler r2 bucket delete old-bucket
```

### Object Operations

```bash
# Upload a single file
npx wrangler r2 object put app-assets/images/logo.png --file=./logo.png

# Upload with content type
npx wrangler r2 object put app-assets/data/report.json \
  --file=./report.json \
  --content-type="application/json"

# Download an object
npx wrangler r2 object get app-assets/images/logo.png --file=./downloaded-logo.png

# Delete an object
npx wrangler r2 object delete app-assets/images/old-logo.png

# Get object metadata
npx wrangler r2 object head app-assets/images/logo.png
```

## S3-Compatible API Access

R2 supports the S3 API, so existing tools (AWS CLI, boto3, s3cmd) work out of the box.

### Generate R2 API Tokens

1. Go to **R2 > Manage R2 API Tokens > Create API token**.
2. Select permissions: Object Read & Write, or Object Read only.
3. Scope to specific buckets if possible.
4. Save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

### AWS CLI Configuration

```bash
# Configure a named profile for R2
aws configure --profile r2
# Access Key ID: <your-r2-access-key>
# Secret Access Key: <your-r2-secret-key>
# Region: auto
# Output: json

# Use the R2 endpoint
export R2_ENDPOINT="https://<ACCOUNT_ID>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com"

# List buckets
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url=$R2_ENDPOINT --profile=r2

# Sync a directory
aws s3 sync ./dist s3://app-assets/static/ \
  --endpoint-url=$R2_ENDPOINT \
  --profile=r2

# Copy a file
aws s3 cp ./backup.tar.gz s3://app-assets/backups/backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz \
  --endpoint-url=$R2_ENDPOINT \
