Prad Nukala 6406208b35 shell: fish functions -> ~/.local/bin executables + bash/zsh ports; manage ~/.agents
- 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

C3 (create-cloudflare)

Official CLI for scaffolding Cloudflare Workers and Pages projects with templates, TypeScript, and instant deployment.

Quick Start

# Interactive (recommended for first-time)
npm create cloudflare@latest my-app

# Worker (API/WebSocket/Cron)
npm create cloudflare@latest my-api -- --type=hello-world --ts

# Pages (static/SSG/full-stack)
npm create cloudflare@latest my-site -- --type=web-app --framework=astro --platform=pages

Platform Decision Tree

What are you building?

├─ API / WebSocket / Cron / Email handler
│   └─ Workers (default) - no --platform flag needed
│       npm create cloudflare@latest my-api -- --type=hello-world

├─ Static site / SSG / Documentation
│   └─ Pages - requires --platform=pages
│       npm create cloudflare@latest my-site -- --type=web-app --framework=astro --platform=pages

├─ Full-stack app (Next.js/Remix/SvelteKit)
│   ├─ Need Durable Objects, Queues, or Workers-only features?
│   │   └─ Workers (default)
│   └─ Otherwise use Pages for git integration and branch previews
│       └─ Add --platform=pages

└─ Convert existing project
    └─ npm create cloudflare@latest . -- --type=pre-existing --existing-script=./src/worker.ts

Critical: Pages projects require --platform=pages flag. Without it, C3 defaults to Workers.

Interactive Flow

When run without flags, C3 prompts in this order:

  1. Project name - Directory to create (defaults to current dir with .)
  2. Application type - hello-world, web-app, demo, pre-existing, remote-template
  3. Platform - workers (default) or pages (for web apps only)
  4. Framework - If web-app: next, remix, astro, react-router, solid, svelte, etc.
  5. TypeScript - yes (recommended) or no
  6. Git - Initialize repository? yes or no
  7. Deploy - Deploy now? yes or no (requires wrangler login)
