Static Site Deployment via Cloudflare Pages

v20260416
static-deploy
Automates the deployment of static web files (HTML, CSS, JS, images) to a specified domain using Cloudflare Pages via the Wrangler CLI. This skill is ideal for hosting Single-Page Applications (React, Vue), landing pages, portfolios, or documentation sites. It stages the site files and injects necessary cache revalidation headers to ensure content freshness after redeployment.

Overview

Static Deploy

Deploy static files to <project-slug>.nexu.space via Wrangler + Cloudflare Pages.

The deploy script stages a temporary copy of the site and injects a _headers file (if needed) with cache revalidation rules for HTML/CSS/JS to reduce stale asset issues after redeploys. Source files are not modified.

What it deploys

Any static files: HTML, CSS, JS, images, fonts, etc. Common use cases:

  • Single-page apps (React, Vue, etc. — deploy the dist/ or build/ folder)
  • Landing pages, portfolios, documentation sites
  • Quick prototypes or demos
  • Any folder with an index.html

Usage

  1. Identify the directory containing files to deploy (must have an index.html)
  2. Derive a project-slug from context (e.g., "family budget" → family-budget)
    • Lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens only, max 63 characters
    • Reuse the same slug for redeployments
    • Ask user to confirm if ambiguous
  3. Run deploy with the inbound structured context:
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/deploy.sh" <project-slug> <directory> <agent-id> <chat-id> [thread-id] [message-ref] [account-id] [channel] [chat-type] [sender-ref]

agent-id is required. The script uses it to resolve the corresponding botId from nexu-context.json when recording deployment artifacts.

chat-id is the raw inbound chat identifier from the message context.

  • DM example: U0AHLMC6C8G
  • Channel example: C0AJKG60H6D

chat-type tells the script whether to send that id to Nexu as user:<chat-id> or channel:<chat-id>. The script does that translation; do not concatenate those prefixes yourself.

thread-id is optional — pass it when deploying from within a thread context. 4. Parse the JSON output and report to user:

  • Brief summary of what was deployed
  • Live URL from the url field
  • Important: Tell the user that Cloudflare Pages propagation takes ~3 minutes. The URL may not work immediately after the first deploy. For redeployments, it's usually faster.

Example reply

Deployed! Your site is live at https://family-budget.nexu.space

Note: First-time deploys take ~3 minutes to propagate on Cloudflare. If you see a "not found" page, wait a few minutes and refresh.

Rules

  • Never read, echo, or log SKILL_API_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, or CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID
  • Never pass credentials as command arguments
  • Always use the bundled deploy.sh — do not call Cloudflare API directly
  • Do not set DEPLOY_BACKEND or any other env overrides — the script handles everything
  • Always pass the caller <agent-id> as arg #3 to deploy.sh
  • Always pass raw inbound <chat-id> as arg #4
  • Never pass <agent-id> as <chat-id>; they are different values
  • If deploying from a thread, pass <thread-id> as arg #5
  • Always pass <channel> and <chat-type> when available so Nexu can resolve the correct session deterministically
  • Do not try to look up or persist a canonical session key in this skill; Nexu resolves it server-side
  • Do not hand-edit source files just to add cache-busting query params; the deploy script handles cache revalidation via a staged _headers file
  • If the script fails, show the message field from the JSON error to the user
  • Cloudflare credentials are fetched at runtime via the scoped secrets API using SKILL_API_TOKEN from env — do not attempt to read or inject them manually
