  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Environment Setup, Common Operations, Workflow and Notes
  • Calls python3 and wget; reaches github.com; needs CF_API_TOKEN and CF_API_KEY

What it does

Cloudflare DNS is an agent skill from OpenMinis/MinisSkills. Use the flarectl command-line tool to manage Cloudflare DNS records, including listing, adding, updating, and deleting DNS records, as well as querying zone information. This skill must be triggered whenever a user mentions "Cloudflare DNS," "CF DNS," "add DNS record," "delete DNS record," "update DNS," "view DNS records," "cloudflare-dns," "flarectl," or any scenario involving Cloudflare DNS management.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with Cloudflare. The repository describes itself as: Skills collection for Minis. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Cloudflare DNS,”
  • “CF DNS,”
  • “add DNS record,”
  • “/cloudflare-dns”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in CF_API_TOKEN
  • A credential in CF_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Verify authentication: Check whether CF_API_TOKEN or CF_API_KEY+CF_API_EMAIL is set
  2. Confirm the domain: If the user has not specified a zone, first use flarectl zone list to list available domains for the user to choose from
  3. Perform the operation: Run list/create/update/delete as needed
  4. Display results: After the operation, use flarectl dns list --zone to show the latest record status

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae8c5db. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • wget

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CF_API_TOKEN
    • CF_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Cloudflare DNS loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

description
Use the flarectl command-line tool to manage Cloudflare DNS records, including listing, adding, updating, and deleting DNS records, as well as querying zone information. This skill must be triggered whenever a user mentions "Cloudflare DNS," "CF DNS," "add DNS record," "delete DNS record," "update DNS," "view DNS records," "cloudflare-dns," "flarectl," or any scenario involving Cloudflare DNS management.

Cloudflare DNS Management

Environment Setup

Install flarectl

In the current environment (Alpine Linux arm64), the preinstalled version can be used directly. If it is not available, install it from the release:

bash
if ! which flarectl > /dev/null 2>&1; then
  wget -q https://github.com/wsvn53/flarectl/releases/download/flarectl-v0.1.0-alpine-arm64/flarectl-linux-arm64 \
    -O /usr/local/bin/flarectl && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/flarectl
fi
Authentication Configuration

flarectl supports two authentication methods. Prefer the API Token method:

Method 1: API Token (recommended)

bash
export CF_API_TOKEN=<your_token>

Method 2: Global API Key

bash
export CF_API_KEY=<your_key>
export CF_API_EMAIL=<your_email>

Optional:

bash
export CF_ACCOUNT_ID=<account_id>   # Specify when using multiple accounts

Check whether the environment variables are set:

bash
[ -n "$CF_API_TOKEN" ] && echo "Token: set" || echo "Token: NOT SET"
[ -n "$CF_API_KEY" ] && echo "API Key: set" || echo "API Key: NOT SET"

If they are not set, tell the user which variable names are required and provide setup links:

  • API Token: Set CF_API_TOKEN
  • API Key: Set CF_API_KEY and Set CF_API_EMAIL

Common Operations

Query the Zone List
bash
flarectl zone list

Example output:

ID                               NAME          PLAN   STATUS
abc123...                        example.com   Free   active
List DNS Records
bash
# List all records for a domain
flarectl dns list --zone example.com

# Filter by type
flarectl dns list --zone example.com --type A

# Filter by name
flarectl dns list --zone example.com --name sub.example.com

# Output in JSON format (useful for parsing IDs)
flarectl --json dns list --zone example.com
Add DNS Records
bash
# A record
flarectl dns create --zone example.com --type A --name sub.example.com --content 1.2.3.4 --ttl 1

# CNAME record (enable orange-cloud proxy)
flarectl dns create --zone example.com --type CNAME --name www.example.com --content example.com --proxy

# MX record
flarectl dns create --zone example.com --type MX --name example.com --content mail.example.com --priority 10

# TXT record
flarectl dns create --zone example.com --type TXT --name _dmarc.example.com --content "v=DMARC1; p=none"

# AAAA record (IPv6)
flarectl dns create --zone example.com --type AAAA --name ipv6.example.com --content "2001:db8::1"

Parameter descriptions:

  • --ttl 1: Automatic TTL (recommended); other values are in seconds (for example, --ttl 300)
  • --proxy: Enable the Cloudflare orange-cloud proxy (supported only for A/AAAA/CNAME records)
Update DNS Records

Updating requires the record id. Use dns list to get it first:

bash
# Get the record ID
flarectl --json dns list --zone example.com --name sub.example.com | python3 -c "
import sys,json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin):
    print(r['id'], r['type'], r['name'], r['content'])
"

# Update the content
flarectl dns update --zone example.com --id <record_id> --content 5.6.7.8

# Update and enable proxy
flarectl dns update --zone example.com --id <record_id> --content 5.6.7.8 --proxy
Create or Update (upsert)
bash
# Update if it exists; create it if it does not exist
flarectl dns create-or-update --zone example.com --type A --name sub.example.com --content 1.2.3.4
Delete DNS Records
bash
# Look up the ID first
flarectl --json dns list --zone example.com --name sub.example.com | python3 -c "
import sys,json
for r in json.load(sys.stdin):
    print(r['id'], r['name'], r['type'])
"

# Delete
flarectl dns delete --zone example.com --id <record_id>
Batch Delete Records with the Same Name
bash
flarectl --json dns list --zone example.com --name sub.example.com | python3 -c "
import sys,json,subprocess
for r in json.load(sys.stdin):
    subprocess.run(['flarectl','dns','delete','--zone','example.com','--id',r['id']])
    print('Deleted:', r['id'], r['type'], r['content'])
"

Workflow

  1. Verify authentication: Check whether CF_API_TOKEN or CF_API_KEY+CF_API_EMAIL is set
  2. Confirm the domain: If the user has not specified a zone, first use flarectl zone list to list available domains for the user to choose from
  3. Perform the operation: Run list/create/update/delete as needed
  4. Display results: After the operation, use flarectl dns list --zone <zone> to show the latest record status

Notes

  • Deletions are irreversible; confirm with the user before proceeding
  • --proxy supports only A, AAAA, and CNAME record types
  • MX records must specify --priority
  • TXT record content that contains spaces must be enclosed in quotes
  • The global flag flarectl --json must be placed before the subcommand.
