Creates or updates a proxied Cloudflare DNS A record. Use when you need to programmatically point a subdomain to an IP address. Takes record name, zone name, and IP address as input.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill creates or updates a Cloudflare DNS 'A' record, pointing it to a specified IP address and ensuring it is proxied. It is a foundational tool for automating service deployment and DNS management.
This skill requires the CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variable to be set with a valid Cloudflare API Token that has DNS edit permissions. The model should verify this prerequisite before attempting to use the skill. If the variable is not set, it should inform the user and stop.
The core logic is handled by the update-record.py script.
--zone: (Required) The root domain name. Example: example.com --record: (Required) The name of the record (subdomain). Use @ for the root domain itself. Example: www --ip: (Required) The IPv4 address to point the record to. --proxied: (Optional) Boolean (true or false) to set the Cloudflare proxy status. Defaults to true.
The script will print its progress to stdout. On success, it prints a confirmation message and a JSON object of the created/updated record. On failure, it prints a descriptive error message to stderr and exits with a non-zero status code.
To use this skill, follow these steps: Verify Prerequisites: Check if the CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variable is set. If not, notify the user and abort. Gather Inputs: From the user's request, identify the zone, record name, and target ip. Construct Command: Build the full shell command to execute the script. Execute Command: Run the command using the exec tool. Report Result: If the command succeeds, report the successful creation or update to the user. If the command fails, analyze the error message from stderr and report the issue to the user in a clear, understandable way.
User Request: "Point www.example.com to the server's public IP." AI's Thought Process: The user wants to update a DNS record on Cloudflare. The cloudflare-dns-updater skill is perfect for this. I will use the update-record.py script. I need the zone, record name, and IP. Zone: example.com Record: www IP: I need to find the server's public IP first. I can use curl -s https://ipv4.icanhazip.com/. I will first get the IP, then construct the final command. I will execute the command and report the outcome. AI's Actions: # Step 1: Get IP PUBLIC_IP=$(curl -s https://ipv4.icanhazip.com/) # Step 2: Run the skill's script python3 skills/cloudflare-dns-updater/scripts/update-record.py \ --zone "example.com" \ --record "www" \ --ip "$PUBLIC_IP"
If CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN is not set: Do not attempt to run the script. Inform the user that the required environment variable is missing and needs to be configured by the administrator. If the script exits with an error: Read the error message from stderr. Common errors include invalid API token, incorrect zone name, or insufficient permissions. Report the specific error to the user.
