"description": "Reviews and authors Cloudflare Workers code against production best practices. Load when writing new Workers, reviewing Worker code, configuring wrangler.jsonc, or checking for common Workers anti-patterns (streaming, floating promises, global state, secrets, bindings, observability). Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge."
}
Your knowledge of Cloudflare Workers APIs, types, and configuration may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training for any Workers code task — writing or reviewing.
Retrieval Sources
Fetch the latest versions before writing or reviewing Workers code. Do not rely on baked-in knowledge for API signatures, config fields, or binding shapes.
| Source | How to retrieve | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| Workers best practices | Fetch https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/best-practices/workers-best-practices/ |
Canonical rules, patterns, anti-patterns |
| Workers types | See references/review.md for retrieval steps |
API signatures, handler types, binding types |
| Wrangler config schema | node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json |
Config fields, binding shapes, allowed values |
| Cloudflare docs | Search tool or https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/ |
API reference, compatibility dates/flags |
FIRST: Fetch Latest References
Before reviewing or writing Workers code, retrieve the current best practices page and relevant type definitions. If the project's node_modules has an older version, prefer the latest published version.
# Fetch latest workers types
mkdir -p /tmp/workers-types-latest && \
npm pack @cloudflare/workers-types --pack-destination /tmp/workers-types-latest && \
tar -xzf /tmp/workers-types-latest/cloudflare-workers-types-*.tgz -C /tmp/workers-types-latest
# Types at /tmp/workers-types-latest/package/index.d.ts

Rules Quick Reference
Configuration
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| Compatibility date | Set compatibility_date to today on new projects; update periodically on existing ones |
| nodejs_compat | Enable the nodejs_compat flag — many libraries depend on Node.js built-ins |
| wrangler types | Run wrangler types to generate Env — never hand-write binding interfaces |
| Secrets | Use wrangler secret put, never hardcode secrets in config or source |
| wrangler.jsonc | Use JSONC config for non-secret settings — newer features are JSON-only |
Request & Response Handling
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| Streaming | Stream large/unknown payloads — never await response.text() on unbounded data |
| waitUntil | Use ctx.waitUntil() for post-response work; do not destructure ctx |
Architecture
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| Bindings over REST | Use in-process bindings (KV, R2, D1, Queues) — not the Cloudflare REST API |
| Queues & Workflows | Move async/background work off the critical path |
| Service bindings | Use service bindings for Worker-to-Worker calls — not public HTTP |
| Hyperdrive | Always use Hyperdrive for external PostgreSQL/MySQL connections |
Observability
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| Logs & Traces | Enable observability in config with head_sampling_rate; use structured JSON logging |
Code Patterns
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| No global request state | Never store request-scoped data in module-level variables |
| Floating promises | Every Promise must be awaited, returned, voided, or passed to ctx.waitUntil() |
Security
| Rule | Summary |
|---|---|
| Web Crypto | Use crypto.randomUUID() / crypto.getRandomValues() — never Math.random() for security |
| No passThroughOnException | Use explicit try/catch with structured error responses |
Anti-Patterns to Flag
| Anti-pattern | Why it matters |
|---|---|
await response.text() on unbounded data |
Memory exhaustion — 128 MB limit |
| Hardcoded secrets in source or config | Credential leak via version control |
Math.random() for tokens/IDs |
Predictable, not cryptographically secure |
Bare fetch() without await or waitUntil |
Floating promise — dropped result, swallowed error |
| Module-level mutable variables for request state | Cross-request data leaks, stale state, I/O errors |
| Cloudflare REST API from inside a Worker | Unnecessary network hop, auth overhead, added latency |
ctx.passThroughOnException() as error handling |
Hides bugs, makes debugging impossible |
Hand-written Env interface |
Drifts from actual wrangler config bindings |
| Direct string comparison for secret values | Timing side-channel — use crypto.subtle.timingSafeEqual |
Destructuring ctx (const { waitUntil } = ctx) |
Loses this binding — throws "Illegal invocation" at runtime |
any on Env or handler params |
Defeats type safety for all binding access |
as unknown as T double-cast |
Hides real type incompatibilities — fix the design |
implements on platform base classes (instead of extends) |
Legacy — loses this.ctx, this.env. Applies to DurableObject, WorkerEntrypoint, Workflow |
env.X inside platform base class |
Should be this.env.X in classes extending DurableObject, WorkerEntrypoint, etc. |
Review Workflow
- Retrieve — fetch latest best practices page, workers types, and wrangler schema
- Read full files — not just diffs; context matters for binding access patterns
- Check types — binding access, handler signatures, no
any, no unsafe casts (seereferences/review.md) - Check config — compatibility_date, nodejs_compat, observability, secrets, binding-code consistency
- Check patterns — streaming, floating promises, global state, serialization boundaries
- Check security — crypto usage, secret handling, timing-safe comparisons, error handling
- Validate with tools —
npx tsc --noEmit, lint forno-floating-promises - Reference rules — see
references/rules.mdfor each rule's correct pattern
Scope
This skill covers Workers-specific best practices and code review. For related topics:

Principles
- Be certain. Retrieve before flagging. If unsure about an API, config field, or pattern, fetch the docs first.
- Provide evidence. Reference line numbers, tool output, or docs links.
- Focus on what developers will copy. Workers code in examples and docs gets pasted into production.
- Correctness over completeness. A concise example that works beats a comprehensive one with errors.
