Keywords: Frappe Cloud, Press, cloud API, site provisioning, bench management, FC, frappecloud, Frappe Cloud deploy, FC hosting, cloud setup, managed hosting..

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/anti-patterns.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code, Claude.ai Projects, Claude API. Frappe v14-v16.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and Secrets management. The repository describes itself as: 60 deterministic Claude AI skills for Frappe Framework & ERPNext v14-v16 development and operations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with Frappe Cloud
  • Provisioning sites
  • Managing benches on Frappe Cloud infrastructure

Example prompts

  • “/frappe-ops-cloud”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code, Claude.ai Projects, Claude API. Frappe v14-v16.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Navigate to Apps in the Frappe Cloud dashboard
  2. Click Add App and provide the GitHub repository URL
  3. Select the branch to deploy
  4. Configure build settings if needed
  5. The app becomes available for installation on sites within compatible benches

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 36cfa80. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Claude Code, Claude.ai Projects, Claude API. Frappe v14-v16.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Frappe Ops Cloud loads about 3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Complete reference for Frappe Cloud managed hosting and Press self-hosted alternative.


Quick Reference: Frappe Cloud Concepts

ConceptDescription
SiteA single Frappe instance with its own database, domain, and apps
BenchA shared runtime environment hosting one or more sites with the same app versions
ServerThe underlying infrastructure (VM) running one or more benches
Private BenchA dedicated bench for a single customer with full control
Shared BenchA Frappe-managed bench shared across multiple sites
PressThe open-source platform (AGPL-3.0) that powers Frappe Cloud
AgentFlask application on each server enabling Press-to-site communication

Decision Tree: Frappe Cloud vs Self-Hosted

Choosing hosting strategy:
├── Small team, want zero ops overhead?
│   └── Frappe Cloud (Shared Bench) — fastest time to production
├── Need custom server configuration?
│   ├── Budget for managed infra? → Frappe Cloud (Private Bench)
│   └── Want full control? → Self-hosted with bench
├── Need to host Frappe for multiple clients?
│   ├── Want managed platform? → Frappe Cloud
│   └── Want own platform? → Self-hosted Press
├── Regulatory/compliance — data must stay on-premises?
│   └── Self-hosted (bench or Press)
└── Development/testing environment?
    ├── Quick prototype → Frappe Cloud (free trial)
    └── Long-term dev → Local bench installation

Frappe Cloud Overview

Private BenchDedicated environment; custom app versions and update schedules
Dedicated ServerFull server for high-traffic or compliance requirements

Frappe Cloud Dashboard

Site Management

The dashboard provides centralized control for all site operations:

  • Create sites — Provision new sites on shared or private benches
  • Install/remove apps — Add or remove Frappe apps from sites
  • Backups — Manual and scheduled backups, restore from backup
  • Domain management — Add custom domains with automatic SSL
  • Site config — Edit site_config.json via the dashboard
  • Monitoring — View CPU, memory, disk usage, and request logs
  • Site actions — Migrate, update, suspend, archive, or transfer sites
Bench Management
  • Create benches — Set up shared or private benches
  • App management — Select apps and their versions/branches
  • Update scheduling — Control when benches receive updates
  • Environment variables — Set custom environment variables
  • SSH access — Connect to bench via SSH for debugging
  • Log browser — View application and error logs
  • Database access — Query the database via the dashboard
Server Management
  • Provision servers — Create servers across multiple cloud providers
  • Scale resources — Upgrade CPU, memory, and storage
  • Storage add-ons — Attach additional storage volumes
  • Server snapshots — Create and restore server snapshots

Deploying Apps on Frappe Cloud

Adding a Custom App
  1. Navigate to Apps in the Frappe Cloud dashboard
  2. Click Add App and provide the GitHub repository URL
  3. Select the branch to deploy
  4. Configure build settings if needed
  5. The app becomes available for installation on sites within compatible benches
App Marketplace

Frappe Cloud includes a marketplace where developers can:

  • List apps with descriptions and pricing
  • Set compatibility requirements (Frappe version, dependencies)
  • Configure pricing models (free, one-time, subscription)
  • Manage payouts for commercial apps
  • Track installations and usage analytics
Deployment Workflow
Developer pushes code → Frappe Cloud detects update →
  Bench rebuild triggered → Assets compiled →
    Sites migrated → New version live

For Private Benches: Updates are controlled by the bench owner — NEVER auto-deployed without approval.

For Shared Benches: Frappe manages the update schedule.


Site Provisioning Workflow

Creating a New Site
  1. Select bench — Choose shared or private bench
  2. Choose plan — Select resource allocation (CPU, memory, storage)
  3. Configure apps — Select which apps to install
  4. Set domain — Use *.frappe.cloud subdomain or custom domain
  5. Create — Frappe Cloud provisions the site (typically under 5 minutes)
Custom Domain Setup
  1. Navigate to site Domains in the dashboard
  2. Add your custom domain (e.g., erp.example.com)
  3. Configure DNS: Add a CNAME record pointing to the Frappe Cloud proxy
  4. Frappe Cloud verifies DNS and provisions SSL certificate automatically
  5. ALWAYS wait for DNS propagation before expecting SSL to work (up to 48 hours)
Critical Rules
  • ALWAYS use CNAME records for custom domains (not A records)
  • NEVER transfer DNS to Frappe Cloud — only add CNAME records
  • ALWAYS verify SSL is active before switching production traffic
  • Custom domain SSL uses Let's Encrypt — auto-renews before expiry

Key Capabilities
  • Multi-server management — Provision and manage multiple servers
  • Site lifecycle — Create, update, migrate, backup, restore, archive sites
  • Bench management — Deploy benches with specific app versions
  • Billing system — Subscriptions, invoicing, wallet credits, ERP integration
  • Marketplace — App listing, pricing, payouts
  • Role-based access — Granular permissions per team and resource
  • Monitoring — Real-time metrics and alerting
When to Self-Host Press
  • You need to host Frappe for multiple clients/tenants
  • You want a managed platform but on your own infrastructure
  • You need full data sovereignty and regulatory compliance
  • You want to offer Frappe hosting as a service
When NOT to Self-Host Press
  • NEVER self-host Press for a single site — use bench directly
  • NEVER self-host Press without dedicated DevOps capacity
  • NEVER underestimate the operational overhead — Press itself requires maintenance
Self-Hosting Requirements
  • Dedicated servers (bare metal or VMs) with Ubuntu
  • DNS management for wildcard domains
  • Object storage for backups (S3-compatible)
  • SMTP service for transactional email
  • Familiarity with Ansible, Docker, and Frappe Framework

Frappe Cloud Limitations

What You CANNOT Do on Frappe Cloud
  • Install system-level packages (no root access on shared benches)
  • Modify Nginx/Supervisor configuration directly
  • Access raw database files (only SQL access via dashboard)
  • Run long-running background processes outside Frappe's job queue
  • Use non-standard ports or protocols
Shared Bench Limitations
  • No SSH access
  • No custom environment variables (use site_config.json instead)
  • Shared resources with other sites — performance may vary
  • Update schedule controlled by Frappe (not the site owner)
Private Bench Advantages Over Shared
  • SSH access for debugging
  • Custom environment variables
  • Controlled update schedule
  • Dedicated resources
  • Custom app versions and branches

Frappe Cloud Best Practices

Site Configuration
  • ALWAYS set maintenance_mode before large data imports
  • ALWAYS use the dashboard for site config changes (not direct file edits)
  • NEVER disable scheduler on Frappe Cloud — use pause_scheduler instead
  • ALWAYS test app updates on a staging site before production
Backup Strategy
  • Frappe Cloud creates automatic daily backups
  • ALWAYS create a manual backup before major changes
  • ALWAYS download and store backups off-platform periodically
  • NEVER rely solely on Frappe Cloud backups — maintain your own copies
Performance
  • Monitor site usage via the dashboard — upgrade plan before hitting limits
  • Use background jobs for heavy operations (not synchronous API calls)
  • Enable Redis caching for frequently accessed data
  • Review slow query logs via the database analyzer tool
