- 16 cross-shell utilities converted to sh/bash chezmoi executables:
  ai c2p cp-appid extract_agents fab gdc gh-sonr-org-migrate ghg-clone
  ghn gho git-summary launch_omp_livediff_overlay lc-elir mdcp mdp pj
  (ghg-clone not named ghg: unrelated cargo binary owns that name)
- cwd/history helpers stay per-shell: yy c cd clip-last + ghg/ghn/gho
  cd-wrappers in bash/functions/ and zsh/functions/, loaded by rc files
- fish keeps only shell-state functions; converted ones now hit PATH
- cp-appid ignore gating moved to .local/bin path
- dot_agents/skills: 82 skills materialized from dotstate storage so
  dot_claude skill symlinks resolve on fresh bootstrap; dotstate
  profile/symlinks.json released .agents/skills .bashrc .zshrc

Cloudflare API Integration

Guide for working with Cloudflare's REST API - authentication, SDK usage, common patterns, and troubleshooting.

Quick Decision Tree

How are you calling the Cloudflare API?
├─ From Workers runtime → Use bindings, not REST API (see ../bindings/)
├─ Server-side (Node/Python/Go) → Official SDK (see api.md)
├─ CLI/scripts → Wrangler or curl (see configuration.md)
├─ Infrastructure-as-code → See ../pulumi/ or ../terraform/
└─ One-off requests → curl examples (see api.md)

SDK Selection

Language Package Best For Default Retries
TypeScript cloudflare Node.js, Bun, Next.js, Workers 2
Python cloudflare FastAPI, Django, scripts 2
Go cloudflare-go/v4 CLI tools, microservices 10

All SDKs are Stainless-generated from OpenAPI spec (consistent APIs).

Authentication Methods

Method Security Use Case Scope
API Token ✓ Scoped, rotatable Production Per-zone or account
API Key + Email Full account access Legacy only Everything
User Service Key Limited Origin CA certs only Origin CA

Always use API tokens for new projects.

Rate Limits

Limit Value
Per user/token 1200 requests / 5 minutes
Per IP 200 requests / second
GraphQL 320 / 5 minutes (cost-based)

Reading Order

Task Files to Read
Initialize SDK client api.md
Configure auth/timeout/retry configuration.md
Find usage patterns patterns.md
Debug errors/rate limits gotchas.md
Product-specific APIs ../workers/, ../r2/, ../kv/, etc.
