Add, list and delete Cloudflare rate limiting rules (login brute force, API abuse, expensive endpoints) per IP with dry-run and confirmation, respecting plan limits. Use when the user worries about bots hammering login or API routes, credential stuffing, or a surprise usage bill.

The file

We split this cloudflare-rate-limiting.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run commands with npx -y github:blitzhash360-web/blitzhash-cloudflare-production-skills <command> or, inside a clone of the repo, node …

    line 9
  2. Very specific:

    Every write command is a dry run by default.

    line 29
  3. Very specific:

    Only after that "yes", re-run the same command with --apply --yes (your shell is not interactive).

    line 30
  4. Distinctive:

    Never delete records or rules the user did not name.

    line 31
  5. Very specific:

    Run cf-skills audit before and after changes and tell the user what moved.

    line 32

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# Cloudflare rate limiting rules

Run commands with `npx -y github:blitzhash360-web/blitzhash-cloudflare-production-skills <command>` or, inside a clone of the repo, `node bin/cf-skills.mjs <command>`. Below, `cf-skills` means either. Zone is `--zone <domain or zone id>` or `$CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID`.

## Commands

- Templates: `cf-skills ratelimit templates` (`protect-login`: 5 req / 10s per IP; `protect-api`: 50 req / 10s per IP)
- Add: `cf-skills ratelimit add --template protect-login`
- One path: `cf-skills ratelimit add --path /api/generate --requests 10`
- Prefix: `cf-skills ratelimit add --path "/api/*" --requests 50`
- List / delete: `cf-skills ratelimit list`, `cf-skills ratelimit delete --rule-id <id>`

## Guidance

- Counting is per IP per Cloudflare data center (`cf.colo.id` + `ip.src`), as Cloudflare requires.
- Plan limits: Free = 1 rule, path-only expressions, 10s period and 10s timeout; Pro allows up to 1 min / 1 h. The script warns, Cloudflare rejects anything not allowed, and nothing changes on rejection.
- Pick limits from real traffic when possible; start generous and tighten. Users behind one office or mobile carrier IP share a counter.
- Token: Zone Read + Zone WAF Edit.

## Safety rules (always)

- The API token lives only in the environment (`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`) or a git-ignored `.env`. Never ask the user to paste it into chat, never print it, never pass it as a flag, never commit it.
- Every write command is a **dry run** by default. Run it without `--apply` first, show the user the printed plan, and wait for an explicit "yes" in chat.
- Only after that "yes", re-run the **same** command with `--apply --yes` (your shell is not interactive). Never add `--yes` on your own initiative.
- Never delete records or rules the user did not name. Never widen the token's permissions.
- Run `cf-skills audit` before and after changes and tell the user what moved.
