1. Project Overview & Quickstart (cloudflare/vibesdk)
File: README.md
Cloudflare VibeSDK
An open source, agentic platform for building and deploying full-stack applications on Cloudflare.
What is VibeSDK?
VibeSDK lets people build full-stack applications by working with an AI coding agent. Describe what you want, answer clarifying questions, and follow the agent as it plans, edits files, deploys previews, inspects errors, and iterates with you in the loop.
The platform runs the complete workflow on Cloudflare. Think drives the agentic model-and-tool loop, a Durable Object provides an isolated workspace for each project, Dynamic Workers serve generated application previews, Durable Object Facets provide per-app SQLite storage, and Cloudflare Artifacts stores durable git history and restore points.
Capabilities
- Agentic code generation: Build iteratively through a model-and-tool loop instead of a fixed sequence of generation phases.
- Human-in-the-loop clarification: Let the agent ask structured questions when a request is underspecified.
- Live workspace: Follow generated files and edits in an integrated code editor.
- Dynamic previews: Bundle generated code and load each preview as a Dynamic Worker without a long-running development server.
- Browser verification: Inspect browser console output, repair runtime errors, and redeploy in the same loop.
- Application data: Give each generated app isolated SQLite-backed storage through a Durable Object Facet, with database inspection and reset controls.
- Version history: Save agent-created restore points in Cloudflare Artifacts and roll back without rewriting existing history.
- Model flexibility: Route configured model providers through AI Gateway with centralized observability and caching.
- Realtime progress: Stream agent output, tool activity, file changes, and deployment status to the UI.
- Project export: Export generated projects when you want to continue development outside VibeSDK.

W <--> F[App Facet + SQLite]Agent and tools
Think manages conversation history, streaming, skills, and the iterative model-and-tool loop. Its explicit tools read and edit the SpaceDO workspace, create restore points, deploy previews, inspect browser logs, and ask clarifying questions. Bash access is disabled.
Previews and application data
VibeSDK bundles each committed deployment with @cloudflare/worker-bundler and loads it through the Worker Loader binding. Static assets are served by SpaceDO, while backend requests and WebSockets are forwarded to the generated App Durable Object Facet. Each Facet has isolated SQLite storage that users can inspect and reset.
Files and version history
SpaceDO is the workspace and file layer. Cloudflare Artifacts is the git and version-history layer. Rollback restores a selected commit into the current branch, creates a new commit, and redeploys without rewriting history.
Agent workflow
- Understand: Read the request and ask structured questions when important details are missing.
- Build: Create and edit files in the SpaceDO workspace.
- Save: Record coherent restore points in Cloudflare Artifacts.
- Deploy: Commit and bundle the current branch into a Dynamic Worker preview.
- Verify: Inspect the live preview and browser console output.
- Repair: Fix build or runtime errors and repeat the deploy-and-verify loop.
- Stream: Continuously surface output, tool calls, files, and preview status in the UI.
Deploy your own VibeSDK
The fastest way to deploy is the Deploy to Cloudflare flow:
You will need:
- A Cloudflare account with the required Workers features enabled.
- A Workers Paid plan and Workers for Platforms access for production app previews.
- A Cloudflare API token with access to the resources created by setup.
- Credentials for at least one supported model provider, unless you use provider keys stored in AI Gateway.
- A custom domain for production, including wildcard DNS and Advanced Certificate Manager when required by your subdomain layout.
Authentication providers, model providers, and export integrations are optional and configuration-dependent. See the complete setup guide for current permissions, DNS, AI Gateway, provider, OAuth, and production configuration.
Local development
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- Bun
- A Cloudflare account and API token
Quick start
git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/vibesdk.git
cd vibesdk
bun install
bun run setup
bun run devOpen http://localhost:5173. The setup script configures local and production environments, Cloudflare resources, AI Gateway and model providers, authentication, and database migrations.
For all setup options and troubleshooting, read docs/setup.md.
Feature toggles
Feature settings are dashboard-managed rather than committed in wrangler.jsonc, so production values survive deploys through keep_vars: true. Set them in the Cloudflare dashboard for each deployed environment, or in .dev.vars for local development. Unset values default to off unless noted otherwise: ENABLE_ARTIFACTS, ENABLE_READ_REPLICAS, ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS, ENABLE_USER_ACCOUNT_DEPLOY, ALLOWED_EMAIL, USE_CLOUDFLARE_IMAGES, and USE_TUNNEL_FOR_PREVIEW; ENABLE_EMAIL_AUTH defaults to on. ALLOCATION_STRATEGY uses its normal default when unset. See the feature-toggle setup reference for dependencies and behavior.
Development commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
bun run dev |
Start the frontend development server |
bun run dev:browser |
Start the optional local browser sidecar used for console-log inspection |
bun run build |
Build SpaceDO and the Vite application |
bun run typecheck |
Run TypeScript type checking |
bun run lint |
Run ESLint |
bun run test |
Run the test suite |
bun run test:watch |
Run tests in watch mode |
bun run deploy |
Build, migrate, and deploy using .prod.vars |
Security and isolation
- Project isolation: Each app maps to its own ThinkAgent Durable Object, SpaceDO workspace, Artifacts repository, and generated application Facet.
- Tool boundaries: Think uses explicit workspace and product tools; workspace bash access is disabled.
- Application data isolation: Each generated application stores its data in its own SQLite-backed Durable Object Facet.
- Preview authorization: Preview URLs use signed, branch-scoped access.
- Secret handling: Provider and platform credentials flow through configured Cloudflare services and bindings.
- Reversible changes: Artifacts-backed restore points make deployed changes recoverable without deleting history.
Troubleshooting
- Preview does not resolve: Confirm the wildcard DNS record is proxied, allow time for DNS propagation, and verify any required Advanced Certificate Manager configuration.
- AI Gateway authentication fails: Confirm the gateway and token are configured, the token has Run permission, and the selected provider has valid credentials or stored keys.
- Database migrations fail: Check D1 access and API-token permissions, then retry after newly provisioned resources become available.
- Required variables are missing: Verify
JWT_SECRET, Cloudflare account credentials, AI Gateway settings, and credentials for every enabled provider or integration.
More diagnostics are available in the setup guide. For help, use GitHub issues, GitHub discussions, or the Cloudflare Developers Discord.

VibeSDK Developer Guide
Follow
AGENTS.mdfor current commands, code style, error handling, and required implementation patterns. The current architecture in this section supersedes the legacy reference later in this document.
Current architecture
ThinkAgentis an Agent powered by Cloudflare Think and backed by a Durable Object. It owns conversation history, context selection, skills, streaming, tools, and step limits.SpaceDOis a Durable Object that provides each project's isolated workspace and files. Think's explicit workspace tools call it through Durable Object RPC; workspace bash is disabled.- When
ENABLE_ARTIFACTS="true"is selected for a SpaceDO, Cloudflare Artifacts is its durable git and version-history layer for commits, branches, history, and restore points; otherwise the SQLite workspace filesystem stores its local git history. @cloudflare/worker-bundlerbuilds committed project files, and a Worker Loader binding loads them as a Dynamic Worker preview.- Generated apps export an
AppDurable Object class that SpaceDO hosts as a Facet with isolated SQLite storage. - AI Gateway routes configured model providers and provides centralized observability and caching.
SpaceDO is the workspace and file layer. For Artifacts-backed spaces, Cloudflare Artifacts is the git and history layer; SQL-backed spaces retain local git history in SQLite. Do not describe SpaceDO itself as git-backed.
Current coding loop
- The host behavior configures ThinkAgent with model coordinates, project context, and a signed preview URL.
- Think calls models and tools iteratively within the turn's step budget.
- Workspace tools read and edit files in the companion SpaceDO.
commitcreates a meaningful restore point without deploying;deploy_spacecommits and rebuilds the branch preview.- SpaceDO bundles files and loads the result through the Worker Loader binding.
- Browser console diagnostics return to Think for repair and redeployment.
- Rollback applies a selected tree, creates a new commit on the current branch, and redeploys without rewriting history.

๐ Recent Changes (Updated Nov 2024)
**Git System Refactor - CLI Semantics Alignment**
Changes Made:
GitVersionControl Class (
/worker/agents/git/git.ts):- Added
reset(ref, options)- Aligns withgit reset --hard(moves HEAD, no new commit) - Removed
revert()- Was creating incorrect "revert commits" - Removed
restoreCommit()- Functionality merged into internal helpers - Removed
inferPurposeFromPath()- No longer needed - Added
setOnFilesChangedCallback()- Callback mechanism for FileManager sync - Added
getAllFilesFromHead()- Simple HEAD file read for syncing
- Added
FileManager Auto-Sync (
/worker/agents/services/implementations/FileManager.ts):- Self-contained synchronization via callback registration
- Auto-registers with GitVersionControl during construction
- Syncs
generatedFilesMapfrom git HEAD after operations - Preserves file purposes across syncs
- No external changes required - fully transparent
Git Tool with Access Control (
/worker/agents/tools/toolkit/git.ts):- Parameterized tool creation:
createGitTool(agent, logger, options?) - Dynamic command filtering via
excludeCommandsparameter - User conversations: Get safe version (commit, log, show only)
- Deep debugger: Gets full version (includes reset with warnings)
- Type-safe enum generation based on context
- Parameterized tool creation:
Deep Debugger Prompt Updates (
/worker/agents/assistants/codeDebugger.ts):- Updated git command documentation
- Added strong warnings about reset being UNTESTED and DESTRUCTIVE
- Clear guidance: only use reset when absolutely necessary
- Documented proper git semantics (reset vs checkout)
User Conversation Updates (
/worker/agents/operations/UserConversationProcessor.ts):- Added git tool to help documentation
- Noted reset unavailable for safety
Commit Message Enhancement (
/worker/agents/core/simpleGeneratorAgent.ts):- Phase commits now include description in body
- Format:
feat: Phase Name\n\nPhase description - Provides better context in git history
Benefits:
- โ Git commands now match actual git CLI behavior
- โ FileManager stays in sync automatically via callbacks
- โ Context-aware tool access (safe for users, full for debugger)
- โ Type-safe, DRY, flexible architecture
- โ Self-contained FileManager (no external changes needed)
See detailed documentation: Section "GitVersionControl Class & Git Tool" (line 901)

Task: Debug Durable Object state
In code:
// In simpleGeneratorAgent.ts
this.logger().info('Current state', {
devState: this.state.currentDevState,
filesCount: Object.keys(this.state.generatedFilesMap).length,
currentPhase: this.state.currentPhase
});Via Cloudflare dashboard:
- Go to Workers & Pages โ Durable Objects
- Find your DO instance
- View SQLite database directly
๐ฏ Core Principles & Non-Negotiable Rules
**1. Strict Type Safety**
- โ NEVER use
anytype - find or create proper types - โ
All frontend types imported from
@/api-types(which re-exports from worker) orshared/types/ - โ Search codebase for existing types before creating new ones
- โ Extend/compose existing types rather than duplicating
Type Import Pattern:
// โ
CORRECT - Single source of truth
import { BlueprintType, WebSocketMessage } from '@/api-types';
// โ WRONG - Direct worker imports in frontend
import { BlueprintType } from 'worker/agents/schemas';**2. DRY Principle**
- Search for similar functionality before implementing
- Extract reusable utilities, hooks, and components
- Never copy-paste code - refactor into shared functions
**3. Follow Existing Patterns**
- Frontend APIs: All defined in
/src/lib/api-client.ts - Backend Routes: Controllers in
worker/api/controllers/, routes inworker/api/routes/ - Database Services: In
worker/database/services/ - Types: Shared types in
shared/types/, API types insrc/api-types.ts
**4. File Naming Conventions**
- React Components:
PascalCase.tsx - Utilities/Hooks:
kebab-case.ts - Backend Services:
PascalCase.ts - Match the naming style of surrounding files
**5. Code Quality Standards**
- โ Production-ready code only - no TODOs or placeholders
- โ Proper TypeScript types with no implicit any
- โ Clean, maintainable code
- โ No hacky workarounds
- โ No overly verbose AI-like comments
- โ No emojis in code (only in markdown docs)
**6. Comments Style**
// โ
GOOD - Explains code's purpose
// Calculate exponential backoff with max cap
const delay = Math.min(Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000, 30000);
// โ BAD - Verbose AI narration
// Here we are calculating the delay using exponential backoff...๐๏ธ Project Architecture
**Tech Stack**
- Frontend: React 18, TypeScript, Vite, TailwindCSS, React Router v7
- Backend: Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, D1 (SQLite)
- AI/LLM: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio (Gemini)
- WebSocket: PartySocket for real-time communication
- Sandbox: Custom container service with CLI tools
- Templates: Project scaffolding system with template catalog
**Complete Directory Structure**
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */๐ฌ Chat View Architecture
**Core Component:** `/src/routes/chat/chat.tsx`
Layout:
- Left Panel (40%): Chat messages, phase timeline, deployment controls, chat input
- Right Panel (60%): Editor view, Preview iframe, or Blueprint markdown
**State Management:** `/src/routes/chat/hooks/use-chat.ts`
This hook manages all chat state:
{
files: FileType[] // Generated files
phaseTimeline: PhaseTimelineItem[] // Phase progress
messages: ChatMessage[] // Chat history
websocket: WebSocket // Real-time connection
isGenerating: boolean // Generation state
previewUrl: string // Preview deployment URL
// ... deployment, blueprint, bootstrap state
}**WebSocket Message Handler**
Location: /src/routes/chat/utils/handle-websocket-message.ts
Critical Messages:
agent_connected- Restore full state on connectconversation_state- Load chat history with deduplicationfile_generating/file_generated- File generation progressphase_implementing/phase_implemented- Phase progressdeployment_completed- Preview URL readyconversation_response- AI message (streaming or complete)generation_stopped- User cancelled, mark phases as "cancelled"
**Phase Timeline**
Component: /src/routes/chat/components/phase-timeline.tsx
Status States:
generating- Active (orange spinner)validating- Code review (blue spinner)completed- Success (green checkmark)cancelled- Interrupted (orange X)error- Failed (red alert)
**Message Deduplication**
Problem: Tool execution causes duplicate AI messages
Solution: Multi-layer approach
- Backend skips redundant LLM calls (empty tool results)
- Frontend utilities (
deduplicate-messages.ts) for live and restored messages - System prompt teaches LLM not to repeat
๐ง Backend Architecture
**Durable Objects Pattern**
Each chat session is a Durable Object instance:
class SimpleCodeGeneratorAgent implements DurableObject {
// Persisted in SQLite
private state: CodeGenState;
// In-memory only (ephemeral)
private currentAbortController?: AbortController;
private deepDebugPromise: Promise<any> | null = null;
}Key Concepts:
- Persistent State: Stored in SQLite (blueprint, files, history)
- Ephemeral State: In-memory (abort controllers, active promises)
- Lifecycle: Created on-demand, evicted after inactivity
- Concurrency: Single-threaded per DO instance
**CodeGenState - Agent Persistent State**
Location: /worker/agents/core/state.ts
Stored in Durable Object SQLite, survives page refreshes.
Key groups:
- Project Identity: blueprint (full PRD), projectName, original query, templateName
- File Management: generatedFilesMap (tracks all files with hash, modified time, uncommitted changes)
- Phase Tracking: generatedPhases (completed), currentPhase (active), phasesCounter
- State Machine: currentDevState (IDLE/PHASE_GENERATING/PHASE_IMPLEMENTING/REVIEWING/FINALIZING), shouldBeGenerating flag, mvpGenerated, reviewingInitiated
- Sandbox: sandboxInstanceId, commandsHistory, lastPackageJson
- Configuration: agentMode (deterministic/smart), sessionId, hostname
- Conversation: conversationMessages (chat history), pendingUserInputs, projectUpdatesAccumulator
- Debug: lastDeepDebugTranscript (for context in next debug session)
๐ Blueprint - Project Requirements Document
Location: /worker/agents/schemas.ts
The blueprint is the complete PRD generated from user's prompt. Contains:
- Identity: title, projectName (kebab-case), description
- Visual Design: colorPalette (RGB codes), views (screens/pages)
- User Experience: uiLayout, uiDesign, userJourney
- Technical Architecture: dataFlow, component structure
- Features: List of capabilities
- Phases: Ordered implementation steps with file paths and purposes
- Development Guide: pitfalls (common bugs to avoid), frameworks (allowed dependencies)
- Implementation Roadmap: High-level phases
- Initial Phase: First phase to implement with file list
Generation process:
- User submits query
- Template selection (LLM picks React/Vue/Next/etc.)
- Blueprint generation (large LLM call with full context)
- Bootstrap template files
- Initial phase implementation
- User can iterate or approve
Key principles:
- Blueprint is source of truth for entire project
- Modified via
alter_blueprinttool - Pitfalls guide prevent common mistakes
- Framework constraints limit dependencies

Usage:
These tools are used internally by the sandbox service and for local debugging. Not typically modified unless adding new sandbox features.
templates/
Purpose: Project template system for generating new apps
Location: /templates/
Key files:
template_catalog.json - Master catalog of all available templates:
- React (Vite, CRA)

Key features:
- Git operations in SQLite (no filesystem needed)
- Full commit history tracking
- Git clone protocol support (clone generated repos)
- Template rebasing for clean history

**1. File Commits**
When: After each phase implementation, after fixes
Flow:
- Agent tracks file changes (new/modified)
- Calls
GitService.commitFiles(files, message) - Git service stages all files
- Creates commit with metadata:
- Author: "vibesdk AI Agent"
- Committer: same
- Message: "Phase X: Feature Y" or "Fix: Bug Z"
- Timestamp: current time
- Stores commit in SQLite
- Returns commit SHA
Example messages:
- "Phase 1: Initial project setup"
- "Phase 2: Add user authentication"
- "Fix: Resolve type errors in UserStore"
- "Update: Improve button styling"
**2. Commit History**
Used by: Git clone service, UI display
Flow:
- Query git log via isomorphic-git
- Returns commits with:
- SHA, author, message, timestamp
- Parent commits
- Tree (file snapshot)
- Ordered newest first
**3. Git Clone Service**
Purpose: Allow users to clone their generated repos locally
Location: /worker/agents/git/git-clone-service.ts
Problem: Agent commits are separate from template commits. Users cloning would get disconnected history.
Solution: Rebase agent commits on top of template
Process:
- Create fresh repo in memory (MemFS)
- Template base commit:
- Write all template files
- Commit as "Initial template setup"
- This becomes commit #0
- Import agent's git objects (skip refs)
- Replay each agent commit:
- Read commit from agent's repo
- Extract files from commit tree
- Write files to memory repo (template + agent files)
- Stage ALL files
- Create new commit with:
- Same message as original
- Same author/committer
- Same timestamps
- Parent = previous rebased commit
- Generate packfile:
- Collect ALL git objects
- Create git packfile (binary format)
- Return via HTTP (git clone protocol)
Result: Clean linear history starting from template
**4. Git Clone Protocol**
Endpoints:
GET /git/{agentId}/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack- Returns refs (branches/tags)POST /git/{agentId}/git-upload-pack- Returns packfile for clone
Usage:
git clone https://vibesdk.com/git/{agentId}User gets complete repository with:
โ
All commits with original messages
โ
Full file history
โ
Template base included
โ
Can push to GitHub, modify locally, etc.
SQLite Filesystem Adapter
Location: /worker/agents/git/fs-adapter.ts
Purpose: Make SQLite look like a filesystem to isomorphic-git
Implementation:
- Implements Node.js
fsAPI (readFile, writeFile, readdir, stat, etc.) - Stores files as blobs in SQLite
- Handles directory structures
- Supports git object storage format
Why SQLite?
- Durable Objects have SQLite built-in
- Persistent across DO hibernation
- Fast for git operations
- No external filesystem needed
Memory Filesystem (MemFS)
Location: /worker/agents/git/MemFS.ts
Purpose: Ephemeral in-memory filesystem for clone service
Usage:
- Git clone service builds repo in memory
- Fast (no disk I/O)
- Garbage collected after request completes
- Full async API for isomorphic-git
Commit Preservation
When cloning, the following are preserved:
โ
Commit messages - Exact text
โ
Author info - Name, email
โ
Timestamps - Original commit times
โ
Committer info - Who made the commit
โ
File states - Exact file content at each commit
โ
Template files - Base template in all commits
โ NOT preserved:
- Original commit SHAs (rebased, so new SHAs)
- Agent's internal refs (branches reset)
Testing
Coverage: 140 tests passing
Test areas:
- Basic git workflow (init, add, commit, log)
- Template rebasing with multiple commits
- Packfile generation
- Large-scale operations (100+ commits)
- File content integrity
- Commit metadata preservation
GitVersionControl Class & Git Tool
**Overview**
Location: /worker/agents/git/git.ts
The GitVersionControl class wraps isomorphic-git with Git CLI-aligned semantics and provides callback support for FileManager synchronization.
**Key Methods**
**1. commit(files, message)**
Standard git commit - stages and commits files.
await git.commit([], 'feat: Add authentication');**2. reset(ref, options?)**
Aligns with: git reset --hard <commit>
await git.reset('abc123', { hard: true });
// Moves HEAD to commit, updates working directory
// No new commit created (destructive)Behavior:
- Moves HEAD to specified commit
- Updates working directory (hard: true by default)
- Does NOT create a new commit
- Triggers
onFilesChangedCallback
**3. log(limit?)**
Query commit history - standard git log.
**4. show(oid)**
Show commit details - files changed in commit.
**5. setOnFilesChangedCallback(callback)**
Register callback to be notified after git operations that change files.
git.setOnFilesChangedCallback(() => {
fileManager.syncGeneratedFilesMapFromGit();
});**6. getAllFilesFromHead()**
Get all files from HEAD commit for syncing.
const files = await git.getAllFilesFromHead();
// Returns: [{ filePath: string, fileContents: string }]**FileManager Sync Pattern**
File: /worker/agents/services/implementations/FileManager.ts
FileManager is self-contained - it registers with GitVersionControl during construction and auto-syncs after git operations.
constructor(stateManager, getTemplateDetailsFunc, git) {
// Auto-register callback with git
this.git.setOnFilesChangedCallback(() => {
this.syncGeneratedFilesMapFromGit();
});
}
private async syncGeneratedFilesMapFromGit(): Promise<void> {
// Get all files from HEAD commit
const gitFiles = await this.git.getAllFilesFromHead();
// Preserve existing file purposes
const oldMap = this.stateManager.getState().generatedFilesMap;
// Build new map
const newMap = {};
for (const file of gitFiles) {
newMap[file.filePath] = {
...file,
filePurpose: oldMap[file.filePath]?.filePurpose || 'Generated file',
lastDiff: ''
};
}
// Update state
this.stateManager.setState({ generatedFilesMap: newMap });
}Flow:
- FileManager constructed โ Registers callback with git
- User performs operations โ Dual-write continues (map + git)
- User calls git reset/checkout โ Git modifies files
- Git calls callback โ FileManager.syncGeneratedFilesMapFromGit()
- Sync reads from HEAD โ Updates generatedFilesMap
- State synchronized โ
**Git Tool - Access Control**
Location: /worker/agents/tools/toolkit/git.ts
The git tool has parameterized access control - different commands available in different contexts.
**Tool Creation**
export function createGitTool(
agent: CodingAgentInterface,
logger: StructuredLogger,
options?: { excludeCommands?: GitCommand[] }
): ToolDefinition<...> {
const allowedCommands = options?.excludeCommands
? allCommands.filter(cmd => !options.excludeCommands!.includes(cmd))
: allCommands;
// Dynamic enum and description based on allowed commands
return {
function: {
enum: allowedCommands,
? "... WARNING: reset is destructive!"
: "...",
}
};
}**Access by Context**
| Context | Available Commands | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| User Conversations | commit, log, show | /worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts (line 56) |
โ Safe - no destructive ops |
| Deep Debugger | commit, log, show, reset | /worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts (line 71) |
โ ๏ธ Full access with warnings |
User Conversations:
// Safe version - no reset
createGitTool(agent, logger, { excludeCommands: ['reset'] })Deep Debugger:
// Full access - includes reset
createGitTool(session.agent, logger) // No restrictions**Reset Command - Safety**
Deep debugger prompt warnings:
- Marked as UNTESTED and DESTRUCTIVE
- Only use when:
- User explicitly requests it
- Tried everything else
- Absolutely certain it's necessary
- Must warn user before using
- Prefer alternatives: regenerate_file, generate_files
**Why This Architecture?**
โ
Single implementation - DRY principle maintained
โ
Type-safe - TypeScript enforces valid commands
โ
Context-aware - Different access in different contexts
โ
Flexible - Easy to add more restrictions
โ
Safe default - Users can't accidentally reset commits
โ
Git CLI semantics - Aligns with actual git behavior
**Removed Methods**
inferPurposeFromPath()- Removed as requestedrevert()- Was creating incorrect "revert commits"restoreCommit()- Renamed to internal helperreadFilesFromCommit
**Why These Limits?**
MAX_PHASES = 12:
- Prevents infinite generation loops
- Forces focused, efficient implementation
- Keeps projects manageable
MAX_TOOL_CALLING_DEPTH = 7:
- Prevents infinite recursion
- Typically need 2-3 levels max
- Safety against runaway LLM behavior
MAX_IMAGES_PER_MESSAGE = 2:
- Balance between utility and cost
- Vision API costs are high
- Usually 1-2 images sufficient for context
MAX_LLM_MESSAGES = 200:
- Prevents conversation from growing unbounded
- Compactification kicks in before this
- Typical session has 20-50 messages
**State Machine - Detailed Flow**
States: Defined in CurrentDevState enum
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */**State Transitions**
| From | To | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| IDLE | PHASE_GENERATING | User starts generation / Resume after queue |
| PHASE_GENERATING | PHASE_IMPLEMENTING | Phase plan ready |
| PHASE_IMPLEMENTING | REVIEWING | Files generated, deployed |
| REVIEWING | IDLE | Review complete (not looping back to PHASE_GENERATING) |
| FINALIZING | REVIEWING | After final fixes, review again |
| PHASE_IMPLEMENTING | FINALIZING | Last phase, no more phases needed |
| ANY | IDLE | User stops generation |
**State Persistence**
- State stored in
CodeGenState.currentDevState - Survives page refreshes
- Used to resume generation after reconnect
- If
shouldBeGenerating=trueand state=IDLE โ restart
๐ง Deep Debugger
**System Prompt & Configuration**
File: /worker/agents/assistants/codeDebugger.ts
- System prompt defines behavior, diagnostic priorities, action-oriented instructions
- Model: Gemini 2.5 Pro (reasoning_effort: high, 32k tokens, temperature: 0.2)
- Max tool depth: 7 recursive calls
**Available Tools**
Tool Registry: /worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts โ buildDebugTools() function (lines 59-87)
Tool Definitions Location: /worker/agents/tools/toolkit/
Each tool is a separate file:
- read-files.ts - Read source code
- run-analysis.ts - TypeScript static analysis (tsc --noEmit)
- get-runtime-errors.ts - Fetch runtime errors from sandbox
- get-logs.ts - Container logs (dev server, console)
- regenerate-file.ts - Fix single file with issues list
- generate-files.ts - Generate multiple files
- deploy-preview.ts - Deploy to sandbox
- exec-commands.ts - Run shell commands
- wait.ts - Wait N seconds (for user interaction)
- git.ts - Version control (commit, log, show, reset)
**How Tools Work**
Each tool file exports:
// Structure in /worker/agents/tools/toolkit/{tool-name}.ts
export function createToolName(agent: CodingAgentInterface, logger: StructuredLogger) {
return {
type: 'function',
function: {
name: 'tool_name',
parameters: { /* JSON schema */ }
},
implementation: async (args) => {
// Tool logic here
return result;
}
};
}**To Add a New Tool:**
- Create
/worker/agents/tools/toolkit/my-tool.ts - Export
createMyTool(agent, logger)function - Import in
/worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts - Add to either
buildTools()(conversation) orbuildDebugTools()(debugging) - Tool automatically available to LLM
**Diagnostic Priority (in system prompt)**
- run_analysis first (fast, no user interaction needed)
- get_runtime_errors second (focused errors)
- get_logs last resort (verbose, cumulative)
Can fix multiple files in parallel - regenerate_file called simultaneously on different files
Concurrency: Cannot run while code generation active - checked via agent.isCodeGenerating()
๐ WebSocket Communication
**Connection Flow**
- User visits
/chat/:chatId - Frontend calls
apiClient.connectToAgent(chatId) - API returns
websocketUrl - Frontend connects via PartySocket
- Backend sends
agent_connectedwith full state - Frontend restores UI
**State Restoration**
case 'agent_connected': {
// Backend sends snapshot
setState(message.state);
websocket.send({ type: 'get_conversation_state' });
}
case 'conversation_state': {
// Restore with deduplication
const deduplicated = deduplicateMessages(message.messages);
setMessages(prev => [...prev, ...deduplicated]);
}**Streaming Pattern**
// Backend sends chunks
ws.send({
type: 'conversation_response',
conversationId: 'abc',
message: 'chunk',
isStreaming: true,
});
// Frontend updates in place
setMessages(prev => updateOrAppendMessage(prev, id, content));๐ ๏ธ Implementation Patterns
**Adding New API Endpoint**
1. Define types (src/api-types.ts):
export interface GetFeatureRequest {
id: string;
}
export interface GetFeatureResponse {
feature: Feature;
}2. Add to API client (src/lib/api-client.ts):
export const apiClient = {
async getFeature(req: GetFeatureRequest): Promise<GetFeatureResponse> {
const response = await fetch('/api/features', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify(req),
});
if (!response.ok) throw new ApiError(response);
return response.json();
},
};3. Create service (worker/database/services/FeatureService.ts):
export class FeatureService {
constructor(private env: Env) {}
async getFeature(id: string): Promise<Feature> {
// Database logic
}
}4. Create controller (worker/api/controllers/feature/controller.ts):
export const featureController = {
async getFeature(c: Context<AppEnv>) {
const body = await c.req.json<GetFeatureRequest>();
const service = new FeatureService(c.env);
const feature = await service.getFeature(body.id);
return c.json({ feature });
},
};5. Add route (worker/api/routes/feature-routes.ts):
export const featureRoutes = new Hono<AppEnv>();
featureRoutes.post('/', featureController.getFeature);6. Register in main router (worker/api/routes/index.ts):
router.route('/api/features', featureRoutes);**Creating Custom Hook**
Pattern: /src/hooks/use-{feature}.ts
export function useFeature(params: FeatureParams) {
const [data, setData] = useState<FeatureData | null>(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
async function fetch() {
try {
const result = await apiClient.getFeature(params);
setData(result);
} catch (err) {
setError(err);
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
}
fetch();
}, [params]);
const refetch = useCallback(() => {
setLoading(true);
// ... refetch logic
}, [params]);
return { data, loading, error, refetch };
}**Adding LLM Tool**
1. Create tool file (worker/agents/tools/toolkit/my-tool.ts):
export function createMyToolDefinition() {
return {
type: 'function' as const,
function: {
name: 'my_tool',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
param: { type: 'string', description: 'Param description' },
},
required: ['param'],
},
},
};
}
export async function myToolImplementation(
args: { param: string },
context: ToolContext,
streamCb?: StreamCallback
): Promise<ToolResult> {
// Check concurrency if needed
if (context.agent.isCodeGenerating()) {
return { error: 'GENERATION_IN_PROGRESS' };
}
// Implementation
const result = await doWork(args.param);
return { result };
}2. Register tool (worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts):
import { createMyToolDefinition, myToolImplementation } from './toolkit/my-tool';
export function buildTools(agent: CodingAgentInterface) {
return [
// ... existing tools
createTool(createMyToolDefinition(), myToolImplementation),
];
}๐งช Testing Patterns
**Frontend Tests**
- Component tests in
__tests__/directories - Integration tests for hooks
- E2E tests with Playwright (if applicable)
**Backend Tests**
- Unit tests for services
- Integration tests for API endpoints
- Tool execution tests
๐ Documentation Standards
**Code Comments**
- Explain WHY, not WHAT (code should be self-documenting)
- Keep comments brief and to the point
- Update comments when code changes
- No emojis in code comments
**Type Documentation**
// โ

export interface FileType { ... }๐ Debugging Guide
**Frontend Debugging**
- Use React DevTools for component state
- Check browser console for errors
- Monitor WebSocket messages in Network tab
- Use Debug Panel in chat interface
**Backend Debugging**
- Check Cloudflare Workers logs
- Use
wrangler tailfor live logs - Add strategic console.log with prefixes:
[TOOL_CALL_DEBUG],[WS_DEBUG] - Check DO storage for persisted state
**Common Issues**
Empty Deep Debug Transcript:
- Check
max_tokensis sufficient (32000+) - Verify tool calls are completing
- Check for abort signals
Duplicate Messages:
- Verify deduplication utilities are used
- Check backend history management
- Ensure tool results aren't causing re-calls
WebSocket Disconnects:
- Check retry logic in
use-chat.ts - Verify DO isn't being evicted prematurely
- Check for abort controller issues
๐ฆ Deployment
**Frontend**
- Built with Vite
- Deployed as static assets
- Served by Cloudflare Pages or Workers
**Backend**
- Deployed via Wrangler

/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */**WebSocket Message Flow Examples**
**1. Code Generation Flow:**
User clicks "Generate" button
โ
Frontend: GENERATE_ALL
โ
Backend: generation_started
โ
[For each phase]
Backend: phase_generating (LLM thinking)
Backend: phase_generated (plan ready)
Backend: phase_implementing (files starting)
[For each file]
Backend: file_generating
Backend: file_chunk_generated (streaming)
Backend: file_generated
Backend: deployment_started
Backend: deployment_completed (preview URL)
Backend: code_reviewing (static analysis)
Backend: code_reviewed (results)
Backend: phase_implemented (phase done)
โ
Backend: generation_complete**2. User Conversation Flow:**
User types message โ clicks send
โ
Frontend: USER_SUGGESTION { message, images? }
โ
Backend: conversation_response { isStreaming: true } (chunks)
โ
[If tool calls]
Backend: conversation_response { tool: { name, status: 'start' } }
Backend: conversation_response { tool: { name, status: 'success', result } }
โ
Backend: conversation_response { isStreaming: false } (final)**3. Abort Generation Flow:**
User clicks abort button
โ
Frontend: STOP_GENERATION
โ
Backend:
- Calls agent.cancelCurrentInference()
- Aborts active AbortController
- Sets shouldBeGenerating = false
โ
Backend: generation_stopped
โ
Frontend:
- Marks active phases as 'cancelled'
- Shows orange X icon
- Disables abort button**Critical State Flags**
**`shouldBeGenerating` Flag**
Purpose: Persistent intent to generate code, survives page refreshes.
When set to true:
- User clicks "Generate" button
- User resumes generation
When set to false:
- User clicks "Stop" button
- Generation completes successfully
- Generation fails permanently
Why it matters:
- On page refresh, if
shouldBeGenerating=trueand no active generation โ restart - Prevents abandoned generation sessions
- Used by frontend to show "generating" vs "cancelled" phases
๐ค Conversational AI System ("Orange")
**Purpose**
Orange is the AI interface between users and the development agent. It handles:
- User questions and discussions
- Feature/bug requests (via
queue_requesttool) - Immediate debugging (via
deep_debugtool) - Web searches for information
**System Prompt Philosophy**
CRITICAL: Orange speaks AS IF it's the developer:
- โ "I'll add that feature"
- โ "I'm fixing that bug"
- โ NEVER: "The team will...", "The agent will..."
Two Options for User Requests:
Immediate Action (deep_debug):
- For active bugs needing instant fixes
- Transfers control to autonomous debug agent
- Returns transcript after completion
- User sees real-time progress
Queued Implementation (queue_request):
- For features or non-urgent fixes
- Relays to development agent
- Implemented in next phase
- Tell user: "I'll have that in the next phase or two"
**Available Tools**
Location: /worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts โ buildTools()
1. queue_request: Queue modification requests
2. get_logs: Fetch sandbox logs (USE SPARINGLY)
3. deep_debug: Autonomous debugging (immediate fixes)
4. git: Version control (commit, log, show) - Safe version without reset
5. wait_for_generation: Wait for code generation
6. wait_for_debug: Wait for debug session
7. deploy_preview: Redeploy sandbox
8. clear_conversation: Clear chat history
9. rename_project: Rename the project
10. alter_blueprint: Modify blueprint fields
11. web_search: Search the web
12. feedback: Submit platform feedbackNote: User conversations get safe git tool (no reset command). Deep debugger gets full git tool (includes reset with warnings).
**Tool Call Rendering**
Pattern:
// Tool calls appear as expandable UI in chat messages
conversation_response {
tool: {
name: 'deep_debug',
status: 'start' | 'success' | 'error',
args: { issue: "..."},
result: "transcript or error"
}
}Frontend displays:
- Tool name with icon
- Status indicator (spinner/check/alert)
- Expandable arguments
- Expandable result (for deep_debug, shows full transcript)
**Conversation History Management**
Two-Tier Storage:
Running History (Compact):

}๐ ๏ธ Tool System Architecture
**Tool Definition Pattern**
Location: /worker/agents/tools/toolkit/{tool-name}.ts
// 1. Define tool schema
export function createMyToolDefinition() {
return {
type: 'function' as const,
function: {
name: 'my_tool',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
param: {
type: 'string',
}
},
required: ['param'],
},
},
};
}
// 2. Implement tool logic
export async function myToolImplementation(
args: { param: string },
context: ToolContext,
streamCb?: StreamCallback
): Promise<ToolResult> {
// Validation
if (!args.param) {
return { error: 'Missing required parameter' };
}
// Concurrency checks (if needed)
if (context.agent.isCodeGenerating()) {
return { error: 'GENERATION_IN_PROGRESS' };
}
// Execute tool logic
const result = await doWork(args.param);
// Stream progress if callback provided
streamCb?.('Processing...');
return { result };
}**Tool Registration**
For Conversation Tools:
// File: /worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts
import { createMyToolDefinition, myToolImplementation } from './toolkit/my-tool';
export function buildTools(
agent: CodingAgentInterface,
logger: StructuredLogger,
toolRenderer: RenderToolCall,
streamCb: (chunk: string) => void
): ToolDefinition[] {
return [
// ... existing tools
createTool(createMyToolDefinition(), myToolImplementation),
];
}For Debug Tools:
export function buildDebugTools(
session: DebugSession,
logger: StructuredLogger
): ToolDefinition[] {
return [
createReadFilesTool(session.agent, logger),
createRunAnalysisTool(session.agent, logger),
createRegenerateFileTool(session.agent, logger),
// ... more debug-specific tools
];
}**Tool Lifecycle Hooks**
const tool = {
function: {...},
implementation: async (args) => {...},
// Optional hooks for UI feedback
onStart: (args) => {
toolRenderer({
name: 'my_tool',
status: 'start',
args
});
},
onComplete: (args, result) => {
toolRenderer({
name: 'my_tool',
status: 'success',
args,
result: JSON.stringify(result)
});
}

'image/png',
'image/jpeg',
'image/webp',
]
MAX_IMAGE_SIZE_BYTES = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB
MAX_IMAGES_PER_MESSAGE = 2;**Image Flow**
1. User uploads/drags image

5. User sends message
โ
6. Frontend โ Backend: USER_SUGGESTION { message, images: [...] }
โ
7. Backend: Upload to R2 storage
โ
8. Backend: Pass to LLM with vision model
โ
9. LLM: Analyze image + generate response**Image Types**

Purpose: Protect actions requiring authentication (star, fork, etc.)
Flow:
- User clicks protected action (not authenticated)
- Guard shows auth modal
- User logs in via GitHub/Google OAuth
- OAuth callback creates session
- Redirects back with
?action=starparameter - Frontend detects parameter, executes pending action
- Clears action parameter
Options: requireFullAuth (reject anonymous), actionContext ("to star this app"), onSuccess callback
๐ GETTING STARTED - Common Tasks
**Adding a New LLM Tool**
Steps:
- Create tool file:
/worker/agents/tools/toolkit/my-new-tool.ts - Structure:
import { CodingAgentInterface } from 'worker/agents/services/implementations/CodingAgent';
import { StructuredLogger } from '../../../logger';
export function createMyNewTool(agent: CodingAgentInterface, logger: StructuredLogger) {
return {
type: 'function' as const,
function: {
name: 'my_new_tool',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
input: {
type: 'string',
}
},
required: ['input']
}
},
implementation: async (args: { input: string }) => {
logger.info('Tool called', { args });
// Your logic here
return { result: 'success' };
}
};
}- Register in
/worker/agents/tools/customTools.ts:- Import:
import { createMyNewTool } from './toolkit/my-new-tool'; - Add to
buildTools()array (line 44):createMyNewTool(agent, logger),
- Import:
- Tool is now available to conversation agent (Orange AI)
**Modifying Deep Debugger Behavior**
File: /worker/agents/assistants/codeDebugger.ts
System prompt sections:
- Identity (lines 11-25): Who the debugger is
- Available Tools (lines 27-70): Tool descriptions (keep concise!)
- Required Workflow (lines 72-80): Step-by-step process
- Diagnostic Priority (lines 82-110): When to use which tool
- Action-Oriented (lines 112-120): Prevents "explain instead of do"
- Common Pitfalls (lines 122-140): What NOT to do
To change tool priority: Edit "Diagnostic Priority" section
To add tool to debugger:
- Create tool in
/worker/agents/tools/toolkit/ - Import in
customTools.ts - Add to
buildDebugTools()function (line 59) - Update debugger system prompt's "Available Tools" section
**Adding a New WebSocket Message Type**
Backend:
- Add type to
/worker/agents/constants.ts:WebSocketMessageRequests(client โ server)WebSocketMessageResponses(server โ client)
- Handle in
/worker/agents/core/websocket.tsโhandleWebSocketMessage() - Send via
sendToConnection(connection, messageType, data)
Frontend:
- Add type to
/src/api-types.tsโWebSocketMessageunion - Handle in
/src/routes/chat/utils/handle-websocket-message.ts - Update state in handler
**Modifying Database Schema**
Steps:
- Edit
/worker/database/schema.ts - Generate migration:
npm run db:generate - Review SQL in
/migrations/{number}_*.sql - Apply locally:
npm run db:migrate:local - Test changes
- Apply to production:
npm run db:migrate:remote
Never: Manually edit migration files
**Adding a New Database Service Method**
Example: Add method to UserService
File: /worker/database/services/UserService.ts
export class UserService extends BaseService {
// Existing methods...
async getNewMethod(userId: string): Promise<ResultType> {
// Use 'fresh' for user's own data
const readDb = this.getReadDb('fresh');
const result = await readDb
.select()
.from(schema.users)
.where(eq(schema.users.id, userId));
if (!result) throw new Error('Not found');
return result;
}
}Call from controller:
const userService = new UserService(c.env);
const data = await userService.getNewMethod(userId);**Understanding Agent State Machine**
Current state: Check agent.state.currentDevState
States: Defined in /worker/agents/core/state.ts โ CurrentDevState enum
IDLE(0): No generationPHASE_GENERATING(1): Planning next phasePHASE_IMPLEMENTING(2): Generating filesREVIEWING(3): Code reviewFINALIZING(4): Final touches
State machine logic: /worker/agents/core/simpleGeneratorAgent.ts โ launchStateMachine() (line 856)
Operations:
- Phase Generation:

Rate Limiting Service
Location: /worker/services/rate-limit/
Purpose: Prevent API abuse with bucketed sliding window rate limiting
**Architecture**
Storage Options:
- Durable Objects (Primary) -
rateLimitDO.ts- Bucketed sliding window algorithm
- Better consistency than KV
- Per-key isolated storage
- KV Store (Fallback) -
rateLimitKV.ts- Global edge cache
- Eventual consistency
**Identifier Strategy**
// User-based (authenticated)
user:abc123
// Token-based (JWT hash)
token:sha256_hash_16_chars
// IP-based (anonymous)
ip:192.168.1.1**Rate Limit Types**
Location: /worker/services/rate-limit/config.ts
- API_ENDPOINT - HTTP endpoint rate limit
- LLM_REQUEST - LLM inference rate limit
- AUTH_ATTEMPT - Login/signup attempts
- APP_CREATION - New app creation
- GITHUB_EXPORT - GitHub push operations
**Configuration Structure**
interface DORateLimitConfig {
limit: number; // Max requests per period
period: number; // Time window in seconds
burst?: number; // Burst allowance
burstWindow?: number; // Burst time window
bucketSize: number; // Bucket size for sliding window
dailyLimit?: number; // Optional daily cap
}**Usage**
// In API route
const allowed = await RateLimitService.enforce(
env,
request,
RateLimitType.API_ENDPOINT,
user
);
if (!allowed) {
throw new RateLimitExceededError('Too many requests');
}**LLM Model-Specific Rates**
Different models have different rate increments:
- GPT-4o: 10 units
- GPT-4o-mini: 1 unit
- Claude Sonnet: 15 units
- Gemini Pro: 20 units
- Gemini Flash: 5 units
Why? Expensive models consume more quota to prevent abuse.
GitHub Service
Location: /worker/services/github/GitHubService.ts
Purpose: Export generated apps to GitHub repositories
**Key Operations**
1. Create Repository
static async createUserRepository(options: {
token: string; // User's GitHub PAT
name: string; // Repo name
description?: string;
private: boolean; // Public or private
auto_init?: boolean; // Create with README
})2. Push Generated Code
static async pushCodeToRepository({
token,
owner,
repo,
gitObjects, // Agent's git objects
templateDetails, // Template base
appQuery, // Original user prompt
branch = 'main'
})Process:
- Build git repo with
GitCloneService(rebases on template) - Push all commits to GitHub via Octokit
- Add README with app description + Cloudflare deploy button
- Return repository URL
3. Add Deploy to Cloudflare Button
static async addCloudflareDeployButton({
token,
owner,
repo,
templateName
})Appends markdown button to README for one-click Cloudflare deployment.
OAuth Service
Location: /worker/services/oauth/
Providers: Google, GitHub
**Base Pattern** (`base.ts`)
All providers extend BaseOAuthProvider:
abstract class BaseOAuthProvider {
abstract getAuthorizationUrl(params): string;
abstract exchangeCodeForToken(code, verifier): Promise<TokenResponse>;
abstract getUserInfo(token): Promise;
}**OAuth Flow**
Step 1: Generate Auth URL
const provider = OAuthProviderFactory.create('google', env);
const { url, state, codeVerifier } = await provider.getAuthorizationUrl({
redirectUri: 'https://app.com/auth/callback',
state: csrfToken,
scopes: ['openid', 'email', 'profile']
});
// Store state + verifier in oauthStates table
// Redirect user to urlStep 2: Handle Callback
// Verify state (CSRF protection)
const storedState = await db.getOAuthState(state);
if (!storedState || storedState.used) throw new Error('Invalid state');
// Exchange code for token
const tokenData = await provider.exchangeCodeForToken(
code,
storedState.codeVerifier
);
// Get user info
const userInfo = await provider.getUserInfo(tokenData.access_token);
// Create or update user
const user = await authService.findOrCreateOAuthUser({
provider: 'google',
providerId: userInfo.id,
email: userInfo.email,
displayName: userInfo.name
});
// Create session
const session = await sessionService.createSession(user);Step 3: Cleanup
// Mark state as used
await db.markOAuthStateUsed(state);
// Cleanup expired states (runs periodically)
await db.cleanupExpiredOAuthStates();**PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)**
Purpose: Prevent authorization code interception
Flow:
- Generate random
codeVerifier(128 chars) - Create
codeChallenge= SHA256(codeVerifier) - Send challenge in auth URL
- Store verifier in oauthStates table
- Send verifier in token exchange
- Provider verifies: SHA256(verifier) == challenge
Google Implementation:
- Uses
code_challenge_method=S256 - Requires
openidscope
GitHub Implementation:
- Standard OAuth 2.0 (no PKCE)
- Uses
statefor CSRF only
Analytics Service
Location: /worker/services/analytics/
Purpose: Track app views, stars, user activity
**Database Service**
File: /worker/database/services/AnalyticsService.ts
Key Operations:
1. Track View
await analyticsService.trackView(appId, userId, ipAddress);- Creates view record
- Deduplicates by IP (1 view per IP per day)
- Updates app.viewsCount
2. Star App
const result = await analyticsService.toggleStar(appId, userId);
// result: { starred: true } or { starred: false }- Adds/removes star
- Updates app.starsCount
- Returns new state
3. Get Activity Stats
const stats = await analyticsService.getUserActivity(userId, days = 30);
// Returns: appsCreated, totalViews, totalStars, recentActivity[]**Ranking Impact**
Views and stars affect app rankings:
- Popular:
(views ร 1) + (stars ร 3)DESC - Trending:
(recent_activity ร 1000000 + recency_bonus)DESC
Cache Service
Location: /worker/services/cache/
Purpose: Cache expensive operations
**Cache Strategies**
1. Git Packfile Cache
// Cache generated packfiles for git clone
await cacheService.set(
`git:packfile:${agentId}`,
packfileBuffer,
3600 // 1 hour TTL
);2. Static Analysis Cache
// Cache TypeScript analysis results
await cacheService.set(
`analysis:${fileHash}`,
analysisResults,
300 // 5 min TTL
);3. Template Cache
// Cache template file trees
await cacheService.set(
`template:${templateName}`,
templateFiles,
86400 // 24 hours
);**Implementation**
Uses Cloudflare Cache API:
const cache = caches.default;
await cache.put(request, response);
const cached = await cache.match(request);CSRF Protection
Location: /worker/services/csrf/
Purpose: Prevent cross-site request forgery
**Token Generation**
// Generate token for OAuth state
const csrfToken = await crypto.subtle.digest(
'SHA-256',
crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32))
);**Validation**
// In OAuth callback
if (callbackState !== storedState.state) {
throw new SecurityError('CSRF token mismatch');
}**Storage**
CSRF tokens stored in oauthStates table:
statecolumn = CSRF tokenexpiresAt= 10 minutesusedflag prevents replay
User Secrets Store (Durable Object)
Location: /worker/services/secrets/
Purpose: Secure, encrypted storage for user API keys and secrets with key rotation support
**Architecture**

- One DO instance per user (userId as DO ID)
- XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption (AEAD)
- Hierarchical key derivation: MEK โ UMK โ DEK
- Key rotation metadata tracking
Core Components:
- UserSecretsStore (
UserSecretsStore.ts) - Main DO class - KeyDerivation (
KeyDerivation.ts) - PBKDF2-based key derivation - EncryptionService (
EncryptionService.ts) - XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption - Types (
types.ts) - Type definitions
**Key Features**
1. Hierarchical Key Derivation

โ PBKDF2 with userId salt
User Master Key (UMK)
โ PBKDF2 with secret-specific salt
Data Encryption Key (DEK) - unique per secret2. Encryption
- Algorithm: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (AEAD)
- Unique salt per secret (16 bytes)
- Unique nonce per encryption (24 bytes)
- Authentication tag for integrity verification
3. Key Rotation
- Tracks master key fingerprint (SHA-256)

- Re-encrypts all secrets with new key
- Maintains rotation statistics
4. Security Features
- Access counting (tracks how many times secret accessed)
- Secret expiration timestamps
- Soft deletion (90-day retention)
- Key preview masking (shows first/last 4 chars)
**Database Schema**
Tables:
-- Main secrets table
CREATE TABLE secrets (
id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
secret_type TEXT NOT NULL,
encrypted_value BLOB NOT NULL,
nonce BLOB NOT NULL,
salt BLOB NOT NULL,
key_preview TEXT NOT NULL,
metadata TEXT,
access_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,

);
-- Key rotation tracking
CREATE TABLE key_rotation_metadata (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT 1,
current_key_fingerprint TEXT NOT NULL,
last_rotation_at INTEGER NOT NULL,
rotation_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0
);**API Methods (RPC - No Exceptions)**
Critical: All DO RPC methods return null or boolean on error, never throw exceptions.
// Store new secret
async storeSecret(request: StoreSecretRequest): Promise<SecretMetadata | null>
// Get decrypted value
async getSecretValue(secretId: string): Promise<SecretWithValue | null>
// List secrets (metadata only)
async listSecrets(): Promise<SecretMetadata[]>
// Update secret
async updateSecret(secretId: string, updates: UpdateSecretRequest): Promise<SecretMetadata | null>
// Delete secret (soft delete)
async deleteSecret(secretId: string): Promise
// Get key rotation info
async getKeyRotationInfo(): Promise<KeyRotationInfo>**Type Definitions**
interface StoreSecretRequest {
name: string;
secretType: 'api_key' | 'oauth_token' | 'webhook_secret' | 'encryption_key' | 'other';
value: string;
metadata?: Record<string, unknown>;
expiresAt?: number;
}
interface SecretMetadata {
id: string;
userId: string;
name: string;
secretType: string;
keyPreview: string;
metadata?: Record<string, unknown>;
accessCount: number;

value: string;
metadata: SecretMetadata;
}
interface KeyRotationInfo {
currentKeyFingerprint: string;
lastRotationAt: number;
rotationCount: number;
totalSecrets: number;

}**Usage Example**
// Get DO stub
const id = env.UserSecretsStore.idFromName(user.id);
const store = env.UserSecretsStore.get(id);
// Store secret
const metadata = await store.storeSecret({
name: 'OpenAI API Key',
secretType: 'api_key',
value: 'sk-...',
metadata: { provider: 'openai' }
});
if (!metadata) {
throw new Error('Failed to store secret');
}
// Retrieve decrypted value
const secret = await store.getSecretValue(metadata.id);
if (!secret) {
throw new Error('Secret not found or expired');
}
console.log(secret.value); // Decrypted value
console.log(secret.metadata.accessCount); // Incremented on each access
// List all secrets (no values)
const secrets = await store.listSecrets();
// Update secret
const updated = await store.updateSecret(metadata.id, {
name: 'OpenAI API Key (Production)',
expiresAt: Date.now() + 86400000 // 24 hours
});
// Delete secret
const deleted = await store.deleteSecret(metadata.id);**Controller Integration**
Location: /worker/api/controllers/user-secrets/controller.ts
// Example: Get secret value
static async getSecretValue(
request: Request,
env: Env,
ctx: ExecutionContext,
context: RouteContext
): Promise<ControllerResponse<ApiResponse>> {
const user = context.user!;
const secretId = context.pathParams.secretId;
const stub = this.getUserSecretsStub(env, user.id);
const result = await stub.getSecretValue(secretId);
if (!result) {
return UserSecretsController.createErrorResponse(
'Secret not found or has expired',
404
);
}
return UserSecretsController.createSuccessResponse(result);
}**Key Rotation Process**
Automatic Detection:
- On DO initialization, checks current master key fingerprint
- Compares with stored fingerprint in database
- If different, triggers key rotation
Re-encryption:
async performKeyRotation() {
// 1. Fetch all active secrets
const secrets = this.ctx.storage.sql.exec(`
SELECT * FROM secrets WHERE is_active = 1
`);
// 2. Decrypt with old key, encrypt with new key
for (const secret of secrets) {
const decrypted = await this.decrypt(secret.encrypted_value, ...);
const encrypted = await this.encrypt(decrypted);
// 3. Update in database atomically
}
// 4. Update rotation metadata
}**Security Considerations**
โ Good Practices:
- Master key stored in Worker environment variable
- Unique salt per secret
- AEAD encryption with integrity verification
- Key rotation support
- Soft deletion for recovery
- Access tracking for audit
โ ๏ธ Important Notes:
- DO RPC methods return
null/booleaninstead of throwing exceptions - Master key must be 64 hex characters (32 bytes)
- Expired secrets automatically filtered from results
- Soft deleted secrets retained for 90 days
**Testing**
Location: /test/worker/services/secrets/
Comprehensive test suite with 90+ tests (3 test files):
- KeyDerivation.test.ts - 17 unit tests for key derivation
- EncryptionService.test.ts - 18 unit tests for encryption/decryption
- UserSecretsStore.test.ts - 55+ E2E tests for full DO lifecycle

4. Pages (routes/*.tsx) - Full page views**Example: Button Hierarchy**
// 1. Primitive: /components/ui/button.tsx
export const Button = forwardRef<HTMLButtonElement, ButtonProps>((
{ className, variant, size, ...props },
ref
) => {
return (
);
});
// 2. Shared: /components/shared/AppCard.tsx
export function AppCard({ app }: { app: App }) {
return (
<Card>
<CardHeader>
<h3>{app.title}</h3>
</CardHeader>
<CardFooter>
navigate(`/app/${app.id}`)}>
View App
</CardFooter>
</Card>
);
}
// 3. Feature: /routes/apps/apps-list.tsx
export function AppsList() {
const { apps } = useApps();
return (
{apps.map(app => <AppCard key={app.id} app={app} />)}
);
}State Management Patterns
**1. Local State (useState)**
Use for: UI-only state (modals, dropdowns, form inputs)
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
const [selectedFile, setSelectedFile] = useState<FileType | null>(null);**2. Server State (Custom Hooks)**
Use for: Data from API
// /hooks/use-apps.ts
export function useApps(filters?: AppFilters) {
const [apps, setApps] = useState<App[]>([]);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
useEffect(() => {
apiClient.getApps(filters).then(setApps);
}, [filters]);
return { apps, loading, refetch };
}
// Usage
const { apps, loading } = useApps({ sortBy: 'popular' });**3. Global State (Context)**
Use for: Cross-component shared state (auth, theme)
// /contexts/auth-context.tsx
const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextType>(null!);
export function AuthProvider({ children }) {
const [user, setUser] = useState(null);
return (
<AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, setUser }}>
{children}
</AuthContext.Provider>
);
}
// Usage
const { user } = useAuth();**4. WebSocket State (use-chat hook)**
Use for: Real-time agent state
Location: /src/routes/chat/hooks/use-chat.ts
Pattern:
export function useChat(chatId: string) {
// Local state
const [messages, setMessages] = useState<ChatMessage[]>([]);
const [files, setFiles] = useState<FileType[]>([]);
const [isGenerating, setIsGenerating] = useState(false);
// WebSocket connection
const [websocket, setWebSocket] = useState<WebSocket | null>(null);
// Message handler
useEffect(() => {
if (!websocket) return;
websocket.onmessage = (event) => {
const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
handleWebSocketMessage(message, {
setMessages,
setFiles,
setIsGenerating,
// ... other setters
});
};
}, [websocket]);
return {
messages,
files,
isGenerating,
websocket,
sendMessage: (text) => {
websocket?.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'USER_MESSAGE', text }));
}
};
}Rendering Optimization
**1. useMemo for Expensive Computations**
const sortedFiles = useMemo(() => {
return files.sort((a, b) => a.path.localeCompare(b.path));
}, [files]);**2. useCallback for Event Handlers**
const handleFileClick = useCallback((fileId: string) => {
setSelectedFile(files.find(f => f.id === fileId));
}, [files]);**3. React.memo for Pure Components**
export const FileTreeNode = memo(({ file, onSelect }: Props) => {
return (
onSelect(file.id)}>
{file.name}
);
});**4. Virtual Scrolling for Large Lists**
// For 1000+ items
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual';
const virtualizer = useVirtualizer({
count: apps.length,
getScrollElement: () => containerRef.current,
estimateSize: () => 200, // Card height
});Data Fetching Patterns
**1. Single Resource**
// /hooks/use-app.ts
export function useApp(appId?: string) {
const [app, setApp] = useState<App | null>(null);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
if (!appId) return;
setLoading(true);
apiClient.getApp(appId)
.then(setApp)
.catch(setError)
.finally(() => setLoading(false));
}, [appId]);
return { app, loading, error, refetch };
}**2. Paginated List**
// /hooks/use-apps.ts
export function useApps(filters?: AppFilters) {
const [apps, setApps] = useState<App[]>([]);
const [hasMore, setHasMore] = useState(true);
const currentPageRef = useRef(1);
const isLoadingMoreRef = useRef(false);
const fetchApps = useCallback(async (loadMore = false) => {
if (isLoadingMoreRef.current) return;
isLoadingMoreRef.current = true;
const page = loadMore ? currentPageRef.current + 1 : 1;
const result = await apiClient.getApps({ ...filters, page });
if (loadMore) {
setApps(prev => [...prev, ...result.apps]);
} else {
setApps(result.apps);
}
setHasMore(result.hasMore);
currentPageRef.current = page;
isLoadingMoreRef.current = false;
}, [filters]);
const loadMore = () => fetchApps(true);
return { apps, hasMore, loadMore };
}**3. Infinite Scroll**
const { apps, hasMore, loadMore } = useApps();
const observerRef = useRef();
const sentinelRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
useEffect(() => {
observerRef.current = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
if (entries[0].isIntersecting && hasMore) {
loadMore();
}
});
if (sentinelRef.current) {
observerRef.current.observe(sentinelRef.current);
}
return () => observerRef.current?.disconnect();
}, [hasMore, loadMore]);
return (
{apps.map(app => <AppCard key={app.id} app={app} />)}
{/* Sentinel element */}
);Form Handling
**Controlled Components**
const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
title: '',
isPublic: true
});
const handleChange = (field: keyof typeof formData) => (
e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>
) => {
setFormData(prev => ({ ...prev, [field]: e.target.value }));
};
const handleSubmit = async (e: FormEvent) => {
e.preventDefault();
await apiClient.createApp(formData);
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
Create
</form>
);**Form Validation**
const [errors, setErrors] = useState<Record<string, string>>({});
const validate = () => {
const newErrors: Record<string, string> = {};
if (!formData.title) {
newErrors.title = 'Title is required';
}
if (formData.title.length < 3) {
newErrors.title = 'Title must be at least 3 characters';
}
setErrors(newErrors);
return Object.keys(newErrors).length === 0;
};
const handleSubmit = async (e: FormEvent) => {
e.preventDefault();
if (!validate()) return;
await apiClient.createApp(formData);
};Modal Patterns
**Simple Modal State**
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
return (
<>
setIsOpen(true)}>Open Modal
<Dialog open={isOpen} onOpenChange={setIsOpen}>
<DialogContent>
<DialogHeader>
<DialogTitle>Modal Title</DialogTitle>
</DialogHeader>
{/* Modal content */}
</DialogContent>
</Dialog>
</>
);**Modal with Data**
const [selectedApp, setSelectedApp] = useState<App | null>(null);
return (
<>
{apps.map(app => (
setSelectedApp(app)}>
Edit
))}
{selectedApp && (
<EditAppModal
app={selectedApp}
onClose={() => setSelectedApp(null)}
/>
)}
</>
);Error Handling
**Error Boundary**
// /components/ErrorBoundary.tsx
export class ErrorBoundary extends Component {
state = { hasError: false, error: null };
static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error) {
return { hasError: true, error };
}
componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) {
console.error('Error caught by boundary:', error, errorInfo);
// Send to Sentry
}
render() {
if (this.state.hasError) {
return <ErrorFallback error={this.state.error} />;
}
return this.props.children;
}
}**API Error Handling**
try {
const app = await apiClient.getApp(appId);
setApp(app);
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ApiError) {
if (error.status === 404) {
setError('App not found');
} else if (error.status === 403) {
setError('Access denied');
} else {
setError('Something went wrong');
}
}
}๐๏ธ CORE AGENT SYSTEM (Durable Objects)
Overview
SimpleCodeGeneratorAgent is the brain of vibesdk - a Durable Object that orchestrates entire app generation lifecycle.
Key responsibilities:
- Blueprint generation from user prompts
- Phase-by-phase code generation
- File management and versioning
- Sandbox deployment and monitoring
- Conversation handling
- Debug session orchestration
Agent Operations (State Machine)
**1. Blueprint Generation**
Trigger: User submits initial prompt
Flow:
- LLM analyzes prompt โ generates complete PRD (Blueprint)
- Blueprint includes: project structure, phases, tech stack, UI design, color palette
- Saved to state, shown to user for confirmation
- User can iterate or approve
**2. Phase Generation**
Trigger: User starts generation or requests new feature
Flow:
- Agent determines next phase from blueprint
- Uses PhaseGeneration operation to plan files
- Updates currentDevState = PHASE_GENERATING
- Generates phase concept (files to create, purposes)
**3. Phase Implementation**
Trigger: Phase concept ready
Flow:
- PhaseImplementation operation generates all files for phase
- Uses LLM with file generation tools
- Tracks progress per-file
- Updates generatedFilesMap with new files
- Commits to git (isomorphic-git in SQLite)
- Sets currentDevState = PHASE_IMPLEMENTING
**4. Code Review & Fixing**
Trigger: Phase complete, auto-triggered or user-requested
Flow:
- PostPhaseCodeFixer runs TypeScript static analysis
- Identifies type errors, missing imports, etc.
- Automatically fixes common issues (TS2304, TS2307, etc.)
- Re-analyzes until clean or max iterations
- Updates files in generatedFilesMap
**5. Deployment to Sandbox**
Trigger: Files ready, user clicks preview
Flow:
- DeploymentManager.deployToSandbox()
- Syncs all files to remote sandbox container
- Executes install commands (npm install, etc.)
- Starts dev server
- Returns preview URL
- Monitors health with periodic checks
**6. User Conversation**
Trigger: User sends message during generation
Flow:
- UserConversationProcessor handles chat
- Queues feature requests if generating
- Processes immediately if idle
- Has access to tools: queue_request, deep_debug, deploy, etc.
- Streams responses via WebSocket
**7. Deep Debugging**
Trigger: User reports bug or runtime error
Flow:
- Agent checks not currently generating (conflict prevention)
- DeepCodeDebugger assistant spawned
- Has access to: read files, static analysis, runtime errors, logs, regenerate files
- Iteratively diagnoses and fixes
- Saves transcript for context in next session
- Deploys fixes automatically
Agent Services (Delegation Pattern)
Agent delegates specific responsibilities to service classes:
Location: /worker/agents/services/implementations/
- FileManager - File CRUD, validation, deduplication
- DeploymentManager - Sandbox lifecycle, deployment, health checks
- GitService - Commit, history, clone service
- CodingAgent (Proxy) - Exposes agent methods to tools (runs in DO context)
Why services?
- Separation of concerns
- Testability
- Code reuse
- Clean interfaces
๐งช SANDBOX SYSTEM
Overview
Sandboxes are ephemeral containers that run user's generated apps in isolated environments.
Technology: Remote sandbox service (separate infrastructure)
Communication: HTTP API with bearer token auth
Lifecycle: Created on-demand, destroyed after inactivity
Sandbox Architecture
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */Sandbox Operations
**1. Instance Creation**
Method: createInstance(templateName, projectName, webhookUrl?, envVars?)
Flow:
- Agent calls with template (react-vite, nextjs, etc.)
- Sandbox service spins up container
- Clones template from git
- Installs base dependencies
- Returns instanceId + preview URL
Response: { instanceId, url, status: 'ready' }
**2. File Synchronization**
Method: writeFiles(instanceId, files, commitMessage?)
Flow:
- Agent sends array of files:
[{ path, content, encoding }] - Sandbox writes to container filesystem
- Triggers hot reload if dev server running
- Optionally commits to git with message
Used for: Initial deployment, incremental updates, fixes
**3. Command Execution**
Method: executeCommands(instanceId, commands, timeout?)
Flow:
- Agent sends shell commands (npm install, npm run build, etc.)
- Sandbox executes in container
- Returns stdout, stderr, exit code
- Timeout after 60s default
Security: Commands validated/filtered before execution to prevent dangerous operations
**4. Static Analysis**
Method: getStaticAnalysis(instanceId)
Flow:
- Sandbox runs TypeScript compiler (tsc --noEmit)
- Collects all errors with file/line/column
- Returns structured error list
Used by: PostPhaseCodeFixer, deep debugger
**5. Runtime Error Monitoring**
Method: getRuntimeErrors(instanceId)
Flow:
- Sandbox monitors browser console errors
- Collects stack traces, error messages
- Deduplicates and categorizes
- Returns recent errors
Triggers: Websocket webhook to agent when errors occur
**6. Log Retrieval**
Method: getLogs(instanceId, lines?, filter?)
Flow:
- Returns recent console output from container
- Includes dev server logs, build output, console.log statements
- Filtered by pattern if provided
Note: Logs only appear when user interacts with app
**7. Instance Shutdown**
Method: shutdownInstance(instanceId)
Flow:
- Stops dev server
- Destroys container
- Frees resources
Auto-triggered: After 30 min inactivity or explicit user close
Session Management
Each agent has a sessionId that maps to a sandbox instance:
- Stored in:
CodeGenState.sessionId - Purpose: Ensures deployment goes to correct container
- Reset on: Timeout errors, critical failures
- Cached client: DeploymentManager caches sandbox client per session
Health Checks:
- Periodic ping to sandbox every 30s
- If unhealthy, resets sessionId
- Forces redeployment on next attempt
๐ DEPLOYMENT FLOW
Complete Deployment Process
**Trigger:** User clicks "Preview" button
Step-by-step:
Pre-deployment Validation
- Check files exist in generatedFilesMap
- Verify no generation in progress
- Get or create sessionId
Sandbox Instance Check
- If no sandboxInstanceId: create new instance
- If exists: check health status
- If unhealthy: reset session, create new instance
Create Instance (if needed)
textโ createInstance(templateName, projectName, webhookUrl) โ { instanceId, url, status } โ Save instanceId to stateFile Synchronization
textโ Collect all files from generatedFilesMap โ Format as { path, content, encoding: 'utf-8' }[] โ writeFiles(instanceId, files, "Deploy generated code") โ { success: true, filesWritten: 42 }Package.json Sync
textโ Check if package.json changed โ If changed: executeCommands(['npm install']) โ Wait for completion (timeout: 60s) โ Cache new package.json in stateBootstrap Commands (if needed)
textโ Execute commandsHistory (previously run user commands) โ Validates/filters dangerous commands โ Runs: npm install, setup scripts, etc.Start Dev Server
textโ Already running from instance creation โ Or trigger via command if stopped โ Monitor startup logsHealth Check Loop
textโ setInterval(30s): ping sandbox โ Check status endpoint โ If unhealthy: log warning, may resetReturn Preview URL
textโ Send URL to frontend via WebSocket โ User can open in iframe or new tab โ App is live and interactive
Redeployment (Incremental Updates)
When files change after initial deploy:
Diff Detection
- Compare file hashes in generatedFilesMap
- Only sync changed files
Partial Sync
textโ writeFiles(instanceId, [changedFiles]) โ Hot reload triggered automaticallyNo Full Rebuild
- Dev server hot reloads changes
- Fast iteration (< 1s typically)
Deployment Errors & Recovery
Common errors:
Timeout (60s)
- Cause: npm install too slow, network issues
- Recovery: Reset sessionId, retry with fresh instance
Instance Not Found
- Cause: Container crashed or evicted
- Recovery: Create new instance, redeploy all files
Command Execution Failed
- Cause: Invalid package.json, dependency conflicts
- Recovery: Show error to user, allow editing
Health Check Failed
- Cause: Dev server crashed, port conflict
- Recovery: Reset session on next deploy attempt
๐ค LLM INFERENCE SYSTEM
Overview
Location: /worker/agents/inferutils/
Centralized inference engine that all operations use to call LLMs.
Key features:
- Multi-provider support (OpenAI, Anthropic via Cloudflare AI Gateway)
- Streaming responses
- Tool calling with recursive execution
- Retry logic with exponential backoff

Recursive inferModel Selection
Location: /worker/agents/inferutils/config.ts
Available models:
- GPT-4o - Fast, good for most tasks
- GPT-4o-mini - Cheapest, simple operations
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet - Best for complex reasoning
- Gemini 2.0 Flash - Fast, experimental
- Gemini 2.5 Pro - Highest quality, deep debugging
Selection by operation:
- Blueprint generation: GPT-4o
- Phase planning: GPT-4o
- File generation: GPT-4o
- Conversation: GPT-4o-mini
- Deep debugging: Gemini 2.5 Pro (reasoning_effort: high)
- Code review: GPT-4o
Streaming
When enabled:
- User conversation responses
- Deep debugger output
- Real-time code generation feedback
How it works:
- LLM sends Server-Sent Events (SSE)
infer()yields chunks via async generator- Operation accumulates + forwards to WebSocket
- Frontend renders progressively
Tool Calling
Recursive execution:
- LLM response includes
tool_callsarray infer()executes each tool in parallel- Results collected
- Filtered (empty/null results skipped)
- If results exist: call LLM again with tool outputs
- Repeat until LLM provides final response
Max depth: Configurable per operation
Retry Logic
Triggers retry:
- Rate limit errors (429)
- Network timeouts
- Temporary API failures (5xx)
Does NOT retry:
- Cancelled operations (AbortError)
- Invalid API key (401)
- Malformed requests (400)
Backoff: Exponential (1s, 2s, 4s)
Cancellation
Each operation gets AbortSignal:
User clicks stop button
โ
WebSocket: STOP_GENERATION
โ
agent.cancelCurrentInference()
โ
AbortController.abort()
โ
OpenAI SDK cancels HTTP request
โ
infer() throws InferError('cancelled')
โ
No retry, immediate propagationNested operations: Share same AbortController
Tool calls: All cancelled together
๐ AUTHENTICATION & AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM
Overview
The auth system implements a comprehensive JWT-based authentication with OAuth 2.0 social login (Google, GitHub), session management, API keys, and security auditing. All auth operations are centralized through services that interact with D1 database.
Core Components:
- AuthService - Main authentication orchestrator
- SessionService - JWT session management with D1 persistence
- JWTUtils - Token creation, verification, signing
- OAuth Providers - Google & GitHub implementations with PKCE
- Middleware - Route protection and token extraction
- Security - Password hashing, rate limiting, audit logs
Auth Architecture Flow
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */Key Database Tables
**users Table**
Stores user identity, OAuth provider info, preferences, and security settings.
Key fields:
- Identity: id, email, username, displayName, avatarUrl
- OAuth: provider (github/google/email), providerId, emailVerified
- Security: passwordHash (email provider only), failedLoginAttempts, lockedUntil
- Preferences: theme, timezone
- Timestamps: createdAt, updatedAt, deletedAt (soft delete)
Indexed on: email, provider+providerId (unique), username
**sessions Table**
Manages JWT sessions with device tracking and revocation support.
Key fields:
- Session ID, userId (FK to users)
- Device tracking: deviceInfo, userAgent, ipAddress
- Token hashes: accessTokenHash, refreshTokenHash (SHA-256)
- Revocation: isRevoked, revokedAt, revokedReason
- Expiry: expiresAt (default 3 days), lastActivity
Configuration: Max 5 sessions per user, 3 concurrent devices
**oauthStates Table**
Temporary storage for OAuth flow state tokens (CSRF protection).
Key fields:
- state (unique CSRF token), provider (google/github)
- codeVerifier (PKCE), redirectUri
- isUsed (one-time use), expiresAt (10 minutes)
Security: Prevents CSRF attacks, implements PKCE flow
**apiKeys Table**
Stores hashed API keys for programmatic access.
Key fields:
- name, keyHash (SHA-256), keyPreview
- scopes (JSON array), isActive
- Usage: lastUsed, requestCount
- Optional: expiresAt
**authAttempts Table**
Audit log for all authentication attempts.
Purpose: Track login/register attempts, detect suspicious activity
Fields: identifier (email), attemptType, success, ipAddress, timestamp
**verificationOtps Table**
Email verification codes. The email-OTP verification flow has been removed (users are auto-verified on registration), so nothing reads or writes this table; the table is retained only to avoid a destructive migration.
Fields: email, otp (hashed), used, expiresAt (15 min)
**auditLogs Table**
Detailed audit trail for security events.
Fields: userId, entityType/entityId, action, oldValues/newValues (JSON), ipAddress, userAgent
AuthService - Core Operations
Location: /worker/database/services/AuthService.ts
Handles all authentication operations (login, register, OAuth) and delegates session management to SessionService.
**register() Flow**
- Validate email format and password strength (min 8 chars, mixed case, numbers)
- Check email doesn't already exist
- Hash password with bcrypt (12 rounds)
- Create user with emailVerified=true (no OTP currently)
- Auto-login: create session + generate JWT
- Log attempt to authAttempts table
- Return user + accessToken + sessionId
**login() Flow**
- Find user by email (case-insensitive), check not deleted
- Verify passwordHash exists
- Compare password with bcrypt.verify()
- Create session + generate JWT
- Log attempt (success/fail) with IP + user agent
- Return user + accessToken + sessionId
Security: Failed attempts logged, passwords never logged
**OAuth Flow**
Step 1: getOAuthAuthorizationUrl()
- Cleanup expired OAuth states
- Validate redirect URL (same-origin only)
- Generate CSRF state token + PKCE code verifier
- Store in oauthStates table (10 min expiry)
- Build authorization URL with state + code_challenge
- Return URL to redirect user to provider
Step 2: handleOAuthCallback()
- Verify state token (not used, not expired)
- Mark state as used
- Exchange code for tokens using PKCE verifier
- Fetch user info from provider
- Find or create user (update OAuth info if exists)
- Create session + JWT
- Return user + token + intended redirectUrl
Security: CSRF protected, PKCE prevents code interception, one-time state tokens
**Other Key Methods**
getUserForAuth(userId): Fetch user by ID (checks not deleted) - used by middleware
validateTokenAndGetUser(token): Complete pipeline: verify JWT signature โ check expiration โ fetch user โ return user + sessionId
JWTUtils - Token Management
Location: /worker/utils/jwtUtils.ts
Singleton class for JWT operations using jose library.
Token payload contains: userId (sub), email, sessionId, type (access/refresh), iat/exp timestamps
Key operations:
- createAccessToken() - Sign JWT with HS256, 3-day expiry
- verifyToken() - Verify signature, check expiration, return payload
- hashToken() - SHA-256 hash for database storage (security: prevents token leakage from DB breaches)
SessionService - Session Management
Location: /worker/database/services/SessionService.ts
Config: Max 5 sessions/user, 3-day TTL, max 3 concurrent devices
Key operations:
createSession() - Cleanup old sessions (keep 5 most recent) โ generate session ID โ create JWT โ hash token โ extract request metadata (IP, user agent, Cloudflare headers) โ store in D1
revokeUserSession() - Mark session as revoked with reason
revokeAllUserSessions() - Revoke all user sessions (for password change, security breach)
getUserSessions() - List active sessions (not revoked, not expired)
getUserSecurityStatus() - Analyze security: count active sessions + recent security events โ calculate risk level (high: >5 events/24h or hijacking; medium: >2 events or >3 devices; low: normal)
forceLogoutAllOtherSessions() - Delete all sessions except current (for suspected compromise)
cleanupExpiredSessions() - Delete expired sessions (run via cron)
OAuth Providers
Location: /worker/services/oauth/
Abstract base class provides common OAuth 2.0 flow with PKCE.
PKCE Flow:
- Generate code_verifier (random 32 bytes)
- Hash to create code_challenge (SHA-256)
- Send challenge in authorization URL
- Provider stores challenge
- Exchange code + verifier for tokens
- Provider verifies: hash(verifier) === stored_challenge
Purpose: Prevents authorization code interception attacks
**Google OAuth**
- Scopes: openid, email, profile
- Fetches user info from Google API
- Returns: id, email, name, picture, verified_email
- Env vars: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
**GitHub OAuth**
- Scopes: read:user, user:email (minimal, no repo access)
- Special handling: Email not always in /user endpoint, fetches from /user/emails if needed
- Returns: id, email (primary verified), name, avatar_url
- Env vars: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
Authentication Middleware
Location: /worker/middleware/auth/routeAuth.ts
Three auth levels:
- public - No auth required
- authenticated - Requires valid JWT
- owner-only - Requires ownership of resource (e.g., user can only edit their own apps)
Flow:
- Route declares auth level via
setAuthLevel()middleware enforceAuthRequirement()checks:- Public: pass through
- Authenticated/Owner: extract token โ validate JWT โ fetch user โ check ownership if needed
- User injected into request context:
c.set('user', user) - Route handler executes with authenticated user
Token extraction priority: Authorization header (APIs) โ Cookie (browser) โ Query param (WebSocket)
Security Features
**Password Security**
- Hashing: bcrypt with 12 rounds (~250ms, intentionally slow to prevent brute force)
- Validation: Min 8 chars, mixed case, numbers, special chars, not common password, no sequential patterns (12345)
- Strength scoring: 0-4 scale
**Rate Limiting**
- User-configurable limits (default: 100 requests/min)
- Separate limits for auth endpoints
- Tracked per user/IP in Durable Objects or KV
**CSRF Protection**
- OAuth state tokens: cryptographically random, 10-min expiry, one-time use
- Verified on callback to prevent cross-site request forgery
**Session Security**
- Tokens hashed (SHA-256) in database
- 3-day expiry by default
- Device + IP tracking
- Max 5 sessions per user, 3 concurrent devices
- Force logout feature for security incidents
**Audit Logging**
- All auth attempts logged to
authAttemptstable - Includes: IP, user agent, timestamp, success/failure
- Used for security analysis and anomaly detection
๐๏ธ DATABASE LAYER
Overview
The database layer uses Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) with Drizzle ORM for type-safe queries. All database operations are abstracted through service classes that extend BaseService.
Key Technologies:
- D1 Database: Serverless SQLite on Cloudflare's edge
- Drizzle ORM: Type-safe SQL query builder
- D1 Sessions API: Read replicas for lower latency
- Migrations: SQL-based schema migrations
Database Architecture
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */BaseService Pattern
Location: /worker/database/services/BaseService.ts
**Purpose**
Provides common database functionality to all domain services:
- Database connection management
- Read replica access (D1 Sessions API)
- Type-safe where condition building
- Error handling patterns
- Logging
**Implementation**
abstract class BaseService {
protected logger = createLogger(this.constructor.name);
protected db: DatabaseService;
protected env: Env;
constructor(env: Env) {
this.db = createDatabaseService(env);
this.env = env;
}
// Direct database access (primary)
protected get database() {
return this.db.db;
}
// Read replica access (optimized latency)
protected getReadDb(strategy: 'fast' | 'fresh' = 'fast') {
return this.db.getReadDb(strategy);
}
// Build type-safe WHERE conditions
protected buildWhereConditions(
conditions: (SQL | undefined)[]
): SQL | undefined {
const validConditions = conditions.filter(
(c): c is SQL => c !== undefined
);
if (validConditions.length === 0) return undefined;
if (validConditions.length === 1) return validConditions[0];
return and(...validConditions);
}
// Standard error handling
protected handleDatabaseError(
error: unknown,
operation: string,
context?: Record<string, unknown>
): never {
this.logger.error(`Database error in ${operation}`, { error, context });
throw error;
}

Cloudflare D1 Sessions API provides read replicas for D1 databases distributed globally. This dramatically reduces latency for read queries by serving them from the nearest replica.
**Strategies**
Location: /worker/database/database.ts
class DatabaseService {
getReadDb(strategy: 'fast' | 'fresh' = 'fast') {
if (strategy === 'fast') {
// Lowest latency - may be slightly stale
return drizzle(this.env.DB, { ... });
} else {
// Latest data - may have higher latency
return drizzle(this.env.DB.withSession({ strategy: 'fresh' }), { ... });
}
}
}**When to Use Each Strategy**
**'fast' Strategy (Default)**
Use for:
- Public app listings
- Public app details
- Analytics and stats
- Search results
- Any read-only public data
Benefits:
- Lowest latency (served from nearest replica)
- Suitable for data that can tolerate slight staleness (few seconds)
- Most queries should use this
Example:
// Public apps - use fast replicas
async getPublicApps(options: PublicAppQueryOptions) {
const readDb = this.getReadDb('fast'); // โ Use fast strategy
const apps = await readDb
.select()
.from(schema.apps)
.where(eq(schema.apps.visibility, 'public'));
}**'fresh' Strategy**
Use for:
- User's own data (own apps, favorites)
- Immediately after writes (read-after-write)
- Auth/session validation
- Account settings
- Any data where staleness is unacceptable
Benefits:
- Latest data from primary or recent replica
- Ensures user sees their own changes immediately
Example:
// User's own apps - use fresh data
async getUserApps(userId: string) {
const readDb = this.getReadDb('fresh'); // โ Use fresh strategy
const apps = await readDb
.select()
.from(schema.apps)
.where(eq(schema.apps.userId, userId));
}**NEVER Use Read Replicas For:**
โ Write operations - Always use primary (this.database)
โ Auth validation - Use primary to avoid security issues
โ Immediately after INSERT/UPDATE - Read from primary
โ Critical consistency - Password changes, payments, etc.
Drizzle ORM Patterns
**Basic Queries**
**SELECT**
// Simple select
const users = await db
.select()
.from(schema.users)
.where(eq(schema.users.email, email));
// Select specific columns
const users = await db
.select({
id: schema.users.id,
email: schema.users.email
})
.from(schema.users);
// With JOIN
const apps = await db
.select({
app: schema.apps,
userName: schema.users.displayName
})
.from(schema.apps)
.leftJoin(schema.users, eq(schema.apps.userId, schema.users.id));**INSERT**
// Insert one
const [user] = await db
.insert(schema.users)
.values({
id: generateId(),
email: '[email protected]',
displayName: 'User',
createdAt: new Date()
})
.returning();
// Insert many
await db
.insert(schema.apps)
.values([
{ id: id1, title: 'App 1', ... },
{ id: id2, title: 'App 2', ... }
]);**UPDATE**
await db
.update(schema.users)
.set({
displayName: 'New Name',
updatedAt: new Date()
})
.where(eq(schema.users.id, userId));**DELETE**
// Hard delete
await db
.delete(schema.sessions)
.where(eq(schema.sessions.id, sessionId));
// Soft delete (preferred)
await db
.update(schema.users)
.set({ deletedAt: new Date() })
.where(eq(schema.users.id, userId));**Complex Queries**
**Aggregations**
// COUNT
const result = await db
.select({ count: sql<number>`COUNT(*)` })
.from(schema.apps)
.where(eq(schema.apps.visibility, 'public'));
const total = result[0].count;
// SUM, AVG
const stats = await db
.select({
totalViews: sql<number>`SUM(${schema.appViews.id})`,
avgViews: sql<number>`AVG(view_count)`
})
.from(schema.apps);**Subqueries**
// Subquery in WHERE
const apps = await db
.select()
.from(schema.apps)
.where(
inArray(
schema.apps.id,
db.select({ id: schema.favorites.appId })
.from(schema.favorites)
.where(eq(schema.favorites.userId, userId))
)
);**Conditional WHERE Clauses**
// Use BaseService.buildWhereConditions()
const conditions: WhereCondition[] = [];
if (framework) {
conditions.push(eq(schema.apps.framework, framework));
}
if (search) {
conditions.push(
or(
sql`LOWER(${schema.apps.title}) LIKE ${`%${search}%`}`,
sql`LOWER(${schema.apps.description}) LIKE ${`%${search}%`}`
)
);
}
const whereClause = this.buildWhereConditions(conditions);
const apps = await db
.select()
.from(schema.apps)
.where(whereClause);Domain Services
**Available Services**
Location: /worker/database/services/
- AuthService - Authentication, login, OAuth
- SessionService - JWT sessions, token management
- UserService - User CRUD, profiles
- AppService - App CRUD, public listings, search, ranking
- AnalyticsService - Views, stars, activity tracking
- SecretsService - Encrypted secrets storage
- ModelConfigService - User model overrides
- ApiKeyService - API key generation, validation
Each extends BaseService, uses Drizzle ORM, follows standard CRUD patterns.
AppService - Public App Ranking
Key methods: createApp, getPublicApps (paginated with filters), getUserAppsWithFavorites, toggleAppStar, updateDeploymentId, updateGitHubRepository, updateAppScreenshot
Ranking algorithms:
- Popular: (views ร 1 + stars ร 3) DESC
- Trending: (recent_activity ร 1000000 + recency_bonus) DESC
- Recent: updatedAt DESC
- Starred: COUNT(stars) DESC
Read replica usage: Public queries use 'fast', user's own data uses 'fresh'
Database Migrations
Location: /migrations/ (SQL files + meta snapshots)
Commands:
npm run db:generate- Generate migration from schema changesnpm run db:migrate:local- Apply to local D1npm run db:migrate:remote- Apply to production D1npm run db:push:local- Direct push (dev only)

โ Checklist for Changes
Before submitting any change, verify:
- Types are properly defined (no
any) - Existing patterns are followed
- Code is DRY (no duplication)
- Comments are clear and concise
- File naming matches conventions
- API calls use
api-client.ts - Database operations use service classes
- Error handling is comprehensive
- AbortController lifecycle is correct (if applicable)
- WebSocket messages are handled (if applicable)
- This document is updated (if needed)
๐ง Troubleshooting Common Issues
**Issue: "Cannot find module" errors**
Cause: Import path incorrect or module not installed
Fix:
- Check import path matches file location
- For workspace imports, use
worker/...not../../../... - Run
npm installif package missing - Check
tsconfig.jsonpath mappings
**Issue: Durable Object not receiving WebSocket messages**
Check:
- Message type in constants:
/worker/agents/constants.ts - Handler in
/worker/agents/core/websocket.tsโhandleWebSocketMessage() - Frontend sending correct type (check browser console)
- WebSocket connection established (check
agent_connectedreceived)
Debug:
// Add to websocket.ts handleWebSocketMessage()
logger.info('Received WebSocket message', { type: message.type, data: message });**Issue: LLM not calling tools**
Common causes:
- Tool description unclear โ LLM doesn't know when to use it
- Tool not registered in
buildTools()orbuildDebugTools() - Parameter schema too complex โ simplify
- System prompt doesn't mention tool
Fix:
- Keep tool description to 2-3 clear lines
- Make parameters simple (prefer strings over complex objects)
- Add tool to relevant system prompt
**Issue: Database query returning stale data**
Cause: Using read replica for data that needs to be fresh
Fix:
// WRONG - uses fast replica
const readDb = this.getReadDb('fast');
// RIGHT - uses fresh data
const readDb = this.getReadDb('fresh');
// OR use primary for critical consistency
const result = await this.database.select()...**Issue: "Rate limit exceeded" during development**
Quick fix:
// In UserConversationProcessor.ts or codeDebugger.ts
// Temporarily increase max_tokens or reduce frequencyBetter fix: Use cheaper model for testing
// In config.ts
conversationalResponse: {
name: GEMINI_2_5_FLASH, // Fast & cheap
max_tokens: 4000,
}**Issue: Type errors after schema change**
Steps:
- Regenerate Drizzle types:
npm run db:generate - Restart TypeScript server in IDE
- Check migration applied:
npm run db:migrate:local
**Issue: Sandbox deployment failing**
Check logs:
// In DeploymentManager.ts, enable verbose logging
this.logger.info('Deployment attempt', {
sessionId: this.getSessionId(),
filesCount: files.length
});Common causes:
- Sandbox service unreachable
- Invalid template name
- sessionId mismatch (check
agent.state.sessionId) - npm install timeout โ increase timeout or split commands
**Issue: Agent state not persisting**
Verify:
- Check DO storage: Cloudflare dashboard โ Durable Objects
- Ensure
setState()called after changes - Check for exceptions in state serialization
Test:
const currentState = this.getState();
this.logger().info('State before save', { currentState });
this.setState(newState);
this.logger().info('State after save', { newState });**Where to Look for Logs**
Local development:
- Frontend: Browser console
- Worker: Terminal where
npm run dev:workeris running - Durable Objects: Same terminal, prefixed with DO ID
Production:
- Cloudflare dashboard โ Workers & Pages โ Logs
- Real-time logs via
wrangler tail - Sentry (if configured)
**Useful Debug Snippets**
Log all WebSocket messages:
// In websocket.ts
logger.info('[WS_IN]', { type: message.type, keys: Object.keys(message) });Log all tool calls:
// In customTools.ts executeToolWithDefinition()
logger.info('[TOOL_CALL]', { name: toolDef.function.name, args });Log state transitions:
// In simpleGeneratorAgent.ts launchStateMachine()
logger.info('[STATE_TRANSITION]', {
from: currentDevState,
to: executionResults.currentDevState
});๐ RATE LIMITING
Overview
Location: /worker/middleware/rate-limiter.ts
Rate limiting protects API endpoints from abuse using token bucket algorithm with Durable Object storage.
Implementation
Middleware: Applied to all API routes except health checks
Strategy:
- Token bucket algorithm - Tokens refill over time
- Per-user basis - Keyed by userId (authenticated) or IP (anonymous)
- Durable Object storage - Distributed rate limit state
- Graceful degradation - Falls back on DO errors
Rate Limits
| User Type | Requests | Window | Burst |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authenticated | 100 | 1 minute | 150 |
| Anonymous | 20 | 1 minute | 30 |
| API Keys | 300 | 1 minute | 400 |
Burst: Maximum requests in short burst before throttling
Response Headers
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 87
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1698765432On rate limit exceeded:
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 42
Content-Type: application/json
{
"error": "Rate limit exceeded",
"retryAfter": 42
}Frontend Handling
Location: /src/routes/chat/utils/message-helpers.ts
export function handleRateLimitError(
error: RateLimitExceededError,
setMessages: (fn: (prev: ChatMessage[]) => ChatMessage[]) => void
) {
const retryAfter = error.retryAfter || 60;
const message = `Rate limit exceeded. Please wait ${retryAfter} seconds.`;
setMessages(prev => [
...prev,
createAIMessage('rate-limit', message)
]);
}Usage:
catch (error) {
if (error instanceof RateLimitExceededError) {
handleRateLimitError(error, setMessages);
return;
}
// ... other error handling
}Bypassing for Internal Tools
Some endpoints bypass rate limiting:
- Health checks (
/health,/api/health) - WebSocket connections (rate limited separately)
- Internal service-to-service calls (authenticated with service tokens)
Configuration:
// In rate-limiter.ts
const EXEMPT_PATHS = ['/health', '/api/health'];Monitoring
Cloudflare Analytics:
- 429 response rate
- Peak request times
- Top rate-limited IPs
Custom Logs:
logger.warn('Rate limit exceeded', {
userId: ctx.userId,
ip: ctx.ip,
path: ctx.path,
remaining: 0

Legacy V1 Dev API Postman Collection
This collection documents the legacy V1 Dev/phasic API surface and has not been migrated to the current Think behavior. Verify routes and payloads against
worker/api/routes/before using it for current integrations.
The collection remains available for compatibility testing of supported legacy endpoints, OAuth setup, and CSRF behavior.
๐ Overview
This collection includes 100+ API endpoints organized into logical groups:
- ๐ Authentication - OAuth, email auth, session management (16 endpoints)
- ๐ค Agent & Code Generation - AI-powered webapp creation (5 endpoints)
- ๐ฑ Apps Management - CRUD operations, public feed, favorites (10 endpoints)
- ๐ค User Management - Profile, apps with pagination (2 endpoints)
- ๐ Analytics & Stats - User stats, AI Gateway analytics (4 endpoints)
- ๐ค Model Configuration - AI model settings, BYOK providers (8 endpoints)
- ๐ข Custom Model Providers - OpenAI-compatible API management (6 endpoints)
- ๐ Secrets Management - API keys, credentials with templates (5 endpoints)
- ๐ GitHub Integration - Repository export, OAuth (2 endpoints)
๐ Quick Setup
1. Import Collection & Environment
Import Collection:
- Open Postman โ Import โ Upload
v1dev-api-collection.postman_collection.json
- Open Postman โ Import โ Upload
Import Environment:
- Import โ Upload
v1dev-environment.postman_environment.json
- Import โ Upload
Select Environment:
- Choose "V1 Dev Environment" from the environment dropdown
2. Configure Base URL
Update the baseUrl environment variable:
- Production:
https://your-production-domain.com - Local Development:
http://localhost:8787(Wrangler dev server)
3. OAuth Setup in Postman
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT: OAuth endpoints redirect to external providers (Google/GitHub) and cannot be tested directly in Postman.
๐ Recommended Approach: OAuth Helper Requests
Use the OAuth Helper requests:
- Run "๐ OAuth Helper - Get Google URL"
- Check the Console tab in Postman for the OAuth URL
- Copy the URL and open it in your browser
Complete authentication in browser:
- Follow the OAuth flow in your browser
- After successful auth, you'll be redirected back to your app
- Session cookies are now set for your domain
Return to Postman:
- Session cookies will work automatically for same-domain requests
- Test with "Get User Profile" to verify authentication
Alternative: Manual URL Construction
If helpers don't work, manually construct URLs:
- Google OAuth:
{{baseUrl}}/api/auth/oauth/google - GitHub OAuth:
{{baseUrl}}/api/auth/oauth/github - Open these URLs directly in your browser
Why Direct OAuth Requests Show HTML
- OAuth endpoints return HTTP redirects (302) to provider websites
- Postman shows the redirect HTML instead of following it
- This is normal behavior - OAuth requires browser-based flows
4. CSRF Token Automation
The collection automatically handles CSRF tokens:
- Pre-request scripts fetch CSRF tokens when needed
- Tokens are stored in the
csrf_tokenenvironment variable - All state-changing requests include the token automatically
๐ Authentication Methods
1. Email Authentication
POST /api/auth/register
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "SecurePassword123!",
"name": "Test User"
}
POST /api/auth/login
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"password": "SecurePassword123!"
}2. OAuth Authentication
- Google OAuth:
GET /api/auth/oauth/google - GitHub OAuth:
GET /api/auth/oauth/github
3. Session-Based Authentication
- Uses secure HTTP-only cookies
- Sessions are automatically maintained across requests
- CSRF protection via
X-CSRF-Tokenheader

VibeSDK Setup Guide
Set up VibeSDK for local development and production deployment.
Make sure to read through the entire guide for important notes, and have all the required information ready before starting.
Current generated-app previews use SpaceDO, a Worker Loader binding, and Dynamic Workers. Cloudflare Artifacts is optional behind ENABLE_ARTIFACTS; it is not required for the default SQLite workspace filesystem. Previews do not require a sandbox container or persistent preview server.
Prerequisites
Before getting started, make sure you have:
Required
- Node.js (v22 or later)
- Cloudflare account with API access
- Cloudflare API Token with appropriate permissions
Recommended
- Bun
- Custom domain configured in Cloudflare (for production deployment)
For Production Features
- Workers Paid Plan (for remote Cloudflare resources)
- Workers for Platforms subscription (for app deployment features)
- Advanced Certificate Manager (if using first-level subdomains)
Quick Start
The fastest way to get VibeSDK running is with our automated setup script:
# Bun is recommended. Install it first if needed.
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
# Then install dependencies and run setup
bun install
bun run setupThis interactive script will guide you through the entire setup process, including:
- Package manager setup (installs Bun automatically for better performance)
- Cloudflare credentials collection (Account ID and API Token)
- Domain configuration (custom domain or localhost for development)
- Remote setup (optional production deployment configuration)
- AI Gateway configuration (Cloudflare AI Gateway recommended)
- API key collection (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, etc.)
- OAuth setup (Google, GitHub login - optional)
- Resource creation (KV namespaces, D1 databases, R2 buckets, AI Gateway)
- File generation (
.dev.varsand optionally.prod.vars) - Configuration updates (
wrangler.jsoncandvite.config.ts) - Database setup (schema generation and migrations)
- Template deployment (example app templates to R2)
- Readiness report (comprehensive status and next steps)
What You'll Need During Setup
The setup script will ask you for the following information:
Cloudflare Account Information
Account ID: Found in your Cloudflare dashboard sidebar
API Token: In you Cloudflare dashboard under "My Profile" > "API Tokens", create a token (Using the "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template is recommended) with the following configurations:
- Your Account - Workers KV Storage:Edit, Workers Scripts:Edit, Account Settings:Read, Workers Tail:Read, Workers R2 Storage:Edit, Cloudflare Pages:Edit, Workers Builds Configuration:Edit, Workers Agents Configuration:Edit, Workers Observability:Edit, Containers:Edit, D1:Edit, AI Gateway:Read, AI Gateway:Edit, AI Gateway:Run, Cloudchamber:Edit, Browser Rendering:Edit
- All zones - Workers Routes:Edit
- All users - User Details:Read, Memberships:Read
If using the
Edit Cloudflare Workerstemplate, make sure to add the missing permissions above manually.Important: Some features like D1 databases and R2 may require a paid Cloudflare plan.
Domain Configuration
With Custom Domain:
Enter your custom domain (or press Enter to skip): myapp.com
โ
Custom domain set: myapp.com
Use remote Cloudflare resources (KV, D1, R2, etc.)? (Y/n):
Configure for production deployment? (Y/n):Without Custom Domain:
Enter your custom domain (or press Enter to skip): [press Enter]
โ ๏ธ No custom domain provided.
โข Remote Cloudflare resources: Not available
โข Production deployment: Not available
โข Only local development will be configured
Continue with local-only setup? (Y/n):AI Gateway Configuration
Cloudflare AI Gateway (Recommended)
- Automatic token setup: When selected,
CLOUDFLARE_AI_GATEWAY_TOKENis automatically set to your API token - No manual configuration: The script handles all AI Gateway authentication
- Better performance: Caching, rate limiting, and monitoring included
Custom OpenAI URL (Alternative)
- For users with existing OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- Requires manual model configuration in
worker/agents/inferutils/config.ts
AI Provider Selection
The setup script offers multiple AI providers with intelligent multi-selection:
Available Providers:
- OpenAI (for GPT models)
- Anthropic (for Claude models)
- Google AI Studio (for Gemini models) - Default & Recommended
- Cerebras (for open source models)
- OpenRouter (for various models)
- Custom provider (for any other provider)
Provider Selection:
- Select multiple providers with comma-separated numbers (e.g.,
1,2,3) - Each selected provider will prompt for its API key
- Custom providers automatically generate
PROVIDER_NAME_API_KEYvariables - Custom providers are automatically added to
worker-configuration.d.ts
Important Model Configuration Notes
Google AI Studio (Recommended):
- Default model configurations use Gemini models
- No additional
worker/agents/inferutils/config.tsediting required - Best compatibility - This is the model used in the official deployment at https://build.cloudflare.dev
- You can get a free API key from https://aistudio.google.com/
Other Providers:
- Strong warning: You MUST edit
worker/agents/inferutils/config.ts - Change default model configurations from Gemini to your selected providers
- Model format:
/<model-name>(e.g.,openai/gpt-4,anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet) - Review fallback model configurations
Without AI Gateway:
- Manual config.ts editing required for all model configurations
- Model names must follow
/<model-name>format
OAuth Configuration
The script will also ask for OAuth credentials:
- Google OAuth: For user authentication and login (not AI Studio access)
- GitHub OAuth: For user authentication and login
- GitHub Export OAuth: For exporting generated apps to GitHub repositories (separate from login OAuth)
If you don't provide OAuth credentials, by default at login, you will only be able to use email-based registration/login.
Login with Cloudflare
You can let users sign in with their Cloudflare account. The same consent also
connects their Cloudflare AI Gateway, so generations can run on their own credits
("Use my AI Gateway" toggle in settings).
1. Create an OAuth client
Create an OAuth client in the Cloudflare dashboard:
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/oauth-clients
Configure these redirect URLs on the client (replace the origin with your
deployment's URL; for local development this is http://localhost:5173):
https://your-domain.com/api/auth/callback/cloudflareโ "Login with Cloudflare"https://your-domain.com/auth/callbackโ connect AI Gateway (from settings)
Grant the client these scopes (Cloudflare uses dotted identifiers, not OIDCemail/profile):
openid user-details.read ai.read ai.write aig.read aig.run aig.write offline_accessThe scopes and the Cloudflare OAuth endpoint URLs are hardcoded in the worker
(worker/services/oauth/cloudflare-connect.ts) and are not configurable โ just make
sure the OAuth client is authorized for all of these scopes, or the authorization
request fails with invalid_scope.
2. Set the environment variables
Add the client credentials to .dev.vars (and .prod.vars for production):
CLOUDFLARE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID="<your-oauth-client-id>" # required for Login with Cloudflare
CLOUDFLARE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET="<your-oauth-client-secret>"
CF_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY="<32-byte base64 key>" # required for AI Gateway; encrypts the token cookieSet ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS="true" in the Cloudflare dashboard for production, or in .dev.vars for local development.
The "Login with Cloudflare" button appears as soon as CLOUDFLARE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
and CLOUDFLARE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET are set โ identity login needs nothing else.
The AI Gateway connect/auto-connect (running generations on the user's own
credits) additionally requires the dashboard-managed ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS="true" andCF_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY (generate with openssl rand -base64 32). If the key is
missing, the gateway feature is disabled (same as leaving ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS
unset) and login simply skips the gateway auto-connect โ users fall back to the free
tier and can connect later.
Generated-app preview requirements
Generated-app previews use the SPACE_DO and LOADER bindings. Add the ARTIFACTS binding for Artifacts-backed spaces. Docker is not required for the current Think/SpaceDO preview path. SandboxDockerfile and container setup remain only for legacy tooling.
Dashboard-managed feature toggles
Feature settings are intentionally omitted from the committed wrangler vars. For deployed environments, set them in the Cloudflare dashboard; keep_vars: true preserves their values when wrangler deploy runs. For local development, set them in .dev.vars. Do not add these settings back to wrangler.jsonc or wrangler.staging.jsonc.
| Variable | Effect | Unset default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
ENABLE_ARTIFACTS |
Uses Artifacts-backed spaces | Off | Requires the ARTIFACTS binding. |
ENABLE_READ_REPLICAS |
Enables D1 read replicas | Off | Set to "true" to enable. |
ENABLE_EMAIL_AUTH |
Enables email/password authentication | On | Set to "false" to make the deployment OAuth-only. |
ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS |
Enables AI Gateway connect | Off | Requires CF_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY; set to "true" to enable. |
ENABLE_USER_ACCOUNT_DEPLOY |
Deploys Think apps to the user's Cloudflare account | Off | Set to "true" to enable. |
ALLOWED_EMAIL |
Restricts sign-in to one email address | Off | Set the allowed address; empty or unset disables the allowlist. |
ALLOCATION_STRATEGY |
Selects the legacy sandbox allocation strategy | Default strategy | Managed in the dashboard rather than through production secrets. |
USE_CLOUDFLARE_IMAGES |
Enables Cloudflare Images uploads | Off | Set a non-empty value to enable. |
USE_TUNNEL_FOR_PREVIEW |
Uses a tunnel for local previews | Off | Dev-only; set in .dev.vars, not the production dashboard. |
Existing deployments retain previously configured dashboard values when this configuration is deployed. New deployments must explicitly set ENABLE_READ_REPLICAS="true" or ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS="true" in the dashboard to preserve the former committed defaults.
Manual Setup (Alternative)
If you prefer to set up manually:
1. Create `.dev.vars` file
Copy .dev.vars.example to .dev.vars and fill in your values:
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars2. Configure Required Variables
# Essential
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID="your-account-id"
# Security
JWT_SECRET="generated-secret"
# Domain (optional)
CUSTOM_DOMAIN="your-domain.com"3. Create Cloudflare Resources
Create required resources in your Cloudflare account:
- KV Namespace for
VibecoderStore - D1 Database named
vibesdk-db - R2 Bucket named
vibesdk-templates
4. Update `wrangler.jsonc`
Update resource IDs in wrangler.jsonc with the IDs from step 3.
Starting Development
After setup is complete:
# Set up database
bun run db:migrate:local
# Start development server
bun run devVisit your app at http://localhost:5173
Important Note: If you didn't specifiy any oauth credentials during setup, You would need to register an account for the first time.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
D1 Database "Unauthorized" Error: This usually means:
- Your API token lacks "D1:Edit" permissions
- Your account doesn't have access to D1 (may require paid plan)
- You've exceeded your D1 database quota
- Solution: Update your API token permissions or upgrade your Cloudflare plan
Permission Errors: Ensure your API token has all required permissions listed above.
Domain Not Found: Make sure your domain is:
- Added to Cloudflare
- DNS is properly configured
- API token has zone permissions
Resource Creation Failed: Check that your account has:
- Available KV namespace quota (10 on free plan)
- D1 database quota (may require paid plan)
- R2 bucket quota (may require paid plan)
- Appropriate plan level for requested features
R2 Bucket "Unauthorized" Error: This usually means:
- Your API token lacks "R2:Edit" permissions
- Your account doesn't have access to R2 (may require paid plan)
- You've exceeded your R2 bucket quota
- Solution: Update your API token permissions or upgrade your Cloudflare plan
AI Configuration Issues:
- "AI Gateway token already configured" but token not in .dev.vars: Re-run setup, this was a bug that's now fixed
- Models not working with custom providers: Edit
worker/agents/inferutils/config.tsto change default model configurations - Custom provider not recognized: Check that the provider was added to
worker-configuration.d.ts - AI Gateway creation failed: Ensure your API token has AI Gateway permissions
Dynamic Worker Preview Issues:
- Confirm the
SPACE_DOandLOADERbindings are configured; confirmARTIFACTSonly whenENABLE_ARTIFACTS="true". - Check the branch deployment and signed preview URL.
- Use
bun run dev:browserwhen local browser-console inspection is needed.
Deploy to Cloudflare Button Issues (Chat Interface):
- "Deploy button not working locally": Chat interface deploy button requires custom domain, initial deployment, and remote dispatch bindings
- "Dispatch namespace not found": Deploy your VibeSDK project to Cloudflare at least once first
- "Deploy fails with authentication error": Ensure your custom domain is properly configured and deployed
- Note: This refers to deploying generated apps from the chat interface, not GitHub repository deployments
Legacy Corporate Container Setup:
The following certificate setup applies only when intentionally running legacy Docker-based tooling:
- Copy your corporate root CA certificate to the project root (don't commit to git!)
- Edit SandboxDockerfile to include your certificate:
# Add your company's Root CA certificate for corporate network access
COPY your-root-ca.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/your-root-ca.crt
RUN update-ca-certificates
# Set SSL environment variables for cloudflared and other tools
ENV SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
ENV NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/your-root-ca.crt
ENV CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crtโ ๏ธ Security Warning: Never commit corporate CA certificates to public repositories. Use .gitignore to exclude certificate files and only use this for local development.
Getting Help
- Check the setup report for specific issues and suggestions
- Review the Cloudflare Workers documentation
- Ensure all prerequisites are met
Production Deployment
If you configured remote deployment during setup, you'll have a .prod.vars file ready for production. Deploy with:
bun run deployThis will:
- Build the application
- Update Cloudflare resources
- Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
- Apply database migrations
- Configure custom domain routing (if specified)
Production-Only Setup
If you only set up for local development initially, you can configure production later:
- Run setup again and choose "yes" for remote deployment configuration
- Provide production domain when prompted
- Deploy using
bun run deploy
Manual Production Setup
Alternatively, create .prod.vars manually based on .dev.vars but with:
- Production domain in
CUSTOM_DOMAIN - Production API keys and secrets
ENVIRONMENT="prod"
Next Steps
Once setup is complete:
- Start developing with
bun run dev - Visit
http://localhost:5173to access VibeSDK - Try generating your first AI-powered application
- Deploy to production when ready with
bun run deploy
File Structure After Setup
The setup script creates and modifies these files:
vibesdk/
โโโ .dev.vars # Local development environment variables
โโโ .prod.vars # Production environment variables (if configured)
โโโ wrangler.jsonc # Updated with resource IDs and domain
โโโ vite.config.ts # Updated for remote/local bindings
โโโ migrations/ # Database migration files
โโโ templates/ # Template repository (downloaded)Summary
The VibeSDK setup script provides a comprehensive, intelligent configuration experience:
**Key Features:**
- Simplified domain setup - One-time domain configuration with clear feature implications
- Intelligent AI provider selection - Multi-provider support with automatic configuration
- AI Gateway automation - Automatic token setup and configuration
- Custom provider support - Dynamic API key generation and worker configuration updates
- Production-ready - Both local development and production deployment configuration
- User-friendly defaults - Y/n prompts with clear default indicators
**What Gets Configured:**
- Cloudflare resources (KV, D1, R2, AI Gateway, dispatch namespaces)
- Environment variables (.dev.vars and .prod.vars)
- Worker configuration (wrangler.jsonc, worker-configuration.d.ts)
- Database setup and migrations
- Template deployment
- ARM64 compatibility
The setup script handles everything from basic Cloudflare resource creation to advanced AI provider configuration, making it easy to get started regardless of your Cloudflare plan or AI provider preferences.
For any issues during setup, check the troubleshooting section above or refer to the comprehensive status report the script provides at the end.
Important Caveats & Known Issues
**Legacy tunnel and container configuration**
USE_TUNNEL_FOR_PREVIEW, SandboxDockerfile, and container instance settings belong to the retired sandbox preview path. Current generated-app previews run as Dynamic Workers loaded by SpaceDO. Do not troubleshoot the current preview path as a Docker or cloudflared tunnel unless you are intentionally running legacy tooling.
**"Deploy to Cloudflare" Button Limitations (Chat Interface)**
The "Deploy to Cloudflare" button in the chat interface (for generated apps) has specific requirements for local development:
Note: This refers to the deployment button within the VibeSDK platform's chat interface, not the GitHub repository deploy button.
Requirements:
- Custom domain must be properly configured during setup
- Initial deployment - Project must be deployed at least once to your Cloudflare account
- Remote dispatch bindings -
wrangler.jsoncmust have remote dispatch namespace enabled - Dispatch worker - A dispatch worker must be running in your account
Why These Requirements?
- The deploy feature uses Cloudflare's dispatch namespace system
- Dispatch requires a running worker in your account to handle deployment requests
- Local-only development isn't yet supported for this in vibesdk
Current Status: Making "Deploy to Cloudflare" work completely in local-only mode is not yet implemented.
**Dynamic Worker preview troubleshooting**
For current previews, verify the SpaceDO Durable Object binding, Worker Loader binding, branch deployment, and signed preview URL. Verify the Artifacts namespace only when ENABLE_ARTIFACTS="true". Build failures originate in @cloudflare/worker-bundler; application runtime failures should be inspected through browser console logs. If an issue persists, open a GitHub issue with the setup report and deployment error.
File: docs/usage-limits-ui.md
Usage Limits UI Rules
Defines when each limits-related UI element renders, based on UsageSummary from GET /api/limits/usage.
Inputs
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
config.unlimited |
True when the user has no free-tier cap (Cloudflare-connected, or self-hosted with ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS != 'true'). |
config.limit.maxValue |
Free-tier cap for the current window. Infinity when unlimited (serializes to null). |
config.limit.window |
daily (calendar-aligned UTC) or rolling. |
config.limit.resetAt |
ISO timestamp when the free window resets. |
hasUserToken |
Server has a decrypted Cloudflare OAuth token for the user (HttpOnly cookie). |
hasCloudflareConfigured |
User has selected an account + AI Gateway. |
cloudflareCredits |
Fetched Cloudflare AI Gateway balance (nullable). |
limitCheck.withinLimits |
False when free-tier is exhausted. |
cloudflareConnectEnabled |
Feature flag; when false, connect/limits UI is hidden. |
Cloudflare OAuth tokens are server-side only (HttpOnly cookie). There is no browser-side token check.
Derived state is centralized in useUsageLimitsBadgeState() (src/components/usage-limits-badge.tsx) and reused by the sidebar CTA and auth button.
| Derived flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
hidden |
cloudflareConnectEnabled is false (after load). |
needsConfiguration |
hasUserToken && !hasCloudflareConfigured. |
showCredits |
hasUserToken && hasCloudflareConfigured && cloudflareCredits present. |
showUsage |
config.limit exists AND !config.unlimited. |
isExhausted |
!limitCheck.withinLimits (when free-tier usage is tracked). |
Sidebar Connect CTA โ `src/components/layout/app-sidebar.tsx`
Full-width brand button above the auth row in SidebarFooter. Collapsed sidebar shows glyph-only size-9.
| User state | CTA |
|---|---|
Not authenticated / loading / hidden |
Hidden |
!hasUserToken |
"Connect Cloudflare" โ CSRF-protected OAuth initiation (POST /api/cloudflare/connect) |
needsConfiguration |
"Configure AI Gateway" โ /settings |
Configured (hasUserToken && hasCloudflareConfigured) |
Hidden โ even if cloudflareCredits is null |
Do not gate this CTA on !showCredits. That incorrectly re-prompts OAuth when the user is configured but the credits payload failed to load.
Auth button status + menu โ `src/components/auth/auth-button.tsx`
Uses the same useUsageLimitsBadgeState() hook. Status line under the avatar (sidebar display); limits actions in the account dropdown.
Status line (sidebar display)
| User state | Status text |
|---|---|
| Loading | "Checking credits..." |
needsConfiguration |
"Configure AI Gateway" (amber) |
showCredits |
$X.XX credits (or with gateway name) |
| Exhausted, no token | "Free limit exhausted" (red) |
| Free tier remaining | usage text (e.g. N free credits left) |
| Otherwise | "Connect Cloudflare" |
Dropdown menu limits actions
| User state | Menu item |
|---|---|
needsConfiguration |
"Configure AI Gateway" โ /settings |
showCredits |
"Manage AI Gateway" โ /settings |
!hasUserToken (Connect) |
No menu item โ Connect lives on the sidebar CTA only |
Settings and Sign Out always remain.
Badge helper โ `src/components/usage-limits-badge.tsx`
useUsageLimitsBadgeState() is the shared derivation layer. The visual UsageLimitsBadge component is retained but not mounted in the shell (header badge is commented out in global-header.tsx).
| User state | Derived / badge content |
|---|---|
| Loading | loading |
| Token missing, free tier remaining | Connect + showUsage |
| Token present, gateway not selected | needsConfiguration |
| Connected (token + gateway + credits) | showCredits + optional showUsage |
| Connected, free tier exhausted, credits known | showCredits only |
Connected but cloudflareCredits missing |
no showCredits (status may still say Connect; sidebar CTA stays hidden) |
| Free tier exhausted, no token | isExhausted + Connect |
Rules:
- Credit balance requires all three:
hasUserTokenANDhasCloudflareConfiguredANDcloudflareCreditspresent. - Free-tier usage only when
config.limitexists AND!config.unlimited. - Badge click target (if remounted):
/settingswhenneedsConfigurationorshowCredits, otherwise OAuth connect.
Credits banner โ `src/components/credits-banner.tsx`
| User state | Banner content | CTA |
|---|---|---|
No limitsData / dismissed |
Hidden | โ |
config.unlimited + connected (BYOK / feature flag on) |
$X.XX balance ยท free credits reset in Yh |
Dismiss only |
config.unlimited + not connected (self-hosted) |
Hidden | โ |
| Free tier active, not connected | N free credits remaining ยท resets in Yh |
"Connect" + dismiss |
| Free tier active, connected | Same free-tier text | Dismiss only (no connect CTA) |
| Free tier exhausted, connected | Gateway balance ยท free credits reset in Yh | Dismiss only |
Threshold: Banner is also hidden when remaining free credits or gateway credits are โฅ CREDITS_BANNER_THRESHOLD (shared/constants/limits.ts, default 10). This is intentional noise reduction and is not part of the popup / connect gating.
Note: Default backend policy (excludeCloudflareConnected: false) keeps connected users on the free-tier counter until exhausted. They only hit the unlimited row when in BYOK mode (excludeBYOKUsers bypass) or when excludeCloudflareConnected is explicitly enabled.
Rules:
- Reset text prefers
config.limit.resetAt(server-provided); falls back to client-side calculation viagetResetDate(window, periodSeconds). rollingwindow withoutresetAtuses the verb "resets within" (upper bound); everything else uses "resets in".- Connect CTA renders only when
!isConnected(whereisConnected = hasUserToken && hasCloudflareConfigured).
Limit popups โ `src/utils/usage-limit-checker.tsx`
Triggered by checkCanSendPrompt (pre-flight) and getBackendLimitDialog (on backend USAGE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED).
| Condition | Dialog | Primary action |
|---|---|---|
| `loading | !limitsData` | |
limitCheck.withinLimits (pre-flight only) |
None | โ |
!hasUserToken |
Daily free limit exhausted | "Connect Cloudflare" (OAuth) |
hasUserToken && !hasCloudflareConfigured |
Configure AI Gateway | Navigate to /settings?config_needed=true |
hasUserToken && hasCloudflareConfigured && credits < MINIMUM_CLOUDFLARE_BALANCE |
Insufficient credits ($X.XX) |
Open dash.cloudflare.com/{accountId}/ai/ai-gateway/credits |
| Everything else | None (allow) | โ |
MINIMUM_CLOUDFLARE_BALANCE is defined in shared/constants/limits.ts.
Deploy gate popup โ `src/utils/usage-limit-checker.tsx` (`getDeployGateDialog`)
Unlike the pre-flight limit popups, this one is backend-error-triggered: a user-account deploy (target: 'user', think behavior) can fail with a structured code on the cloudflare_deployment_error WebSocket message (worker/api/websocketTypes.ts). handle-websocket-message.ts forwards the code via onCloudflareDeployGate; chat.tsx renders the dialog. The toast + chat message still show in all cases.
code |
Emitted when | Dialog | Primary action |
|---|---|---|---|
cloudflare_not_connected |
No decrypted Cloudflare OAuth token for the user | Connect Cloudflare to deploy | CSRF-protected OAuth initiation (POST /api/cloudflare/connect) |
cloudflare_not_configured |
Multiple accounts connected and none selected (a sole connected account is used automatically โ deploying needs no AI Gateway) | Select a Cloudflare account | Navigate to /settings?config_needed=true |
| (absent) | Any other deploy failure | None (toast only) | โ |
Think deploy targets are gated by the worker flag ENABLE_USER_ACCOUNT_DEPLOY (surfaced to the frontend as userAccountDeploy on GET /api/capabilities): when on, the think deploy button sends target: 'user' ("Deploy to My Account"); when off it sends target: 'platform' ("Deploy") and the backend publishes to the platform dispatch namespace with platform credentials โ no Cloudflare connection required, so the popup never fires.
Backend interactions
| Behavior | Source |
|---|---|
| BYOK users bypass LLM rate limits | llmConfig.excludeBYOKUsers (default: true) |
| Optionally exempt all connected users from limits | llmConfig.excludeCloudflareConnected (default: false) |
| Free tier uses calendar-daily window (UTC midnight reset) | llmConfig.calendarDaily |
| App-creation limits are independent of LLM limits | Separate appCreation config; not touched by connected/BYOK bypass |
| Limits feature disabled entirely | ENABLE_CLOUDFLARE_LIMITS != 'true' โ checkUsageAndBalance returns limit: Infinity immediately |

Blueprint Parsing
import { BlueprintStreamParser, blueprintToMarkdown } from '@cf-vibesdk/sdk';
// Parse streaming blueprint chunks
const parser = new BlueprintStreamParser();
parser.append(chunk1);
parser.append(chunk2);
const markdown = parser.toMarkdown();
// Convert blueprint object to markdown

const result = await withTimeout(someAsyncOperation(), 30000, 'Operation timed out');
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof TimeoutError) {
console.log('Timed out!');
}
}Error Handling
All API methods return an ApiResponse<T> discriminated union:
const result = await client.apps.get('app-id');
if (result.success) {
console.log(result.data);
} else {
console.error(result.error.message);

@space-do/space
A reusable Cloudflare Durable Object class โ SpaceDO โ that provides an
isolated workspace and files with preview and deploy support on the Workers
runtime. It is the file/preview/deploy backend used by VibeSDK's ThinkAgent;
the agentic loop itself is powered by @cloudflare/think.
Install
npm install @space-do/spacePeer expectations: compatibility_date >= 2024-09-23 andcompatibility_flags = ["nodejs_compat"]. The class uses SQLite-backed
Durable Object storage and a LOADER Worker Loader binding for Dynamic Worker
previews. Set ENABLE_ARTIFACTS="true" with an ARTIFACTS binding to use
Cloudflare Artifacts for git/version history; otherwise SpaceDO uses its
SQLite-backed workspace filesystem.
Usage
Re-export SpaceDO from your worker entrypoint and declare it inwrangler.toml:
// src/worker.ts
import type { Env } from "@space-do/space"
export { SpaceDO } from "@space-do/space"[[durable_objects.bindings]]
name = "SPACE_DO"
class_name = "SpaceDO"
[[artifacts]]
binding = "ARTIFACTS"
namespace = "your-artifacts-namespace"
[[worker_loaders]]
binding = "LOADER"
[[migrations]]
tag = "v1"
new_sqlite_classes = ["SpaceDO"]Each named SpaceDO instance is an isolated workspace and file layer. Its
filesystem backend is selected when the instance is first initialized and
remains pinned for that app: ENABLE_ARTIFACTS="true" selects Artifacts for
git/version history, while the default uses the SQLite workspace filesystem.
Changing the flag affects only newly-created spaces. Address SpaceDO by
forwarding a Request to a stub from env.SPACE_DO.get(...), or call its typed
RPC methods directly via DO RPC.

App database inspector
The generated app exports class App extends DurableObject. SpaceDO hosts
it as a Facet with isolated SQLite storage and exposes inspection through thelistAppTables, queryAppTable, and wipeAppDatabase RPC methods. The result
types are exported for typed consumers:
import type {
AppDatabaseTable,
AppDatabaseColumn,
AppDatabaseReadResult,
} from "@space-do/space"Building
npm run build # esbuild โ dist/index.js
npm run typecheck2. Official Technical Reference & Guides (cloudflare/docs)
AMPProject.org [](https://travis-ci.org/ampproject/docs)
You're looking at the source code of the official website of the AMP Project.
Even if you don't plan on contributing, explore how we've built the site for
a good example of how to build a canonical, responsive standalone AMP site.
How to build the site
Install
Install Grow and npm dependencies:
$ curl https://install.growsdk.org | bash
$ npm installGet a GitHub token or app id/secret
The docs in the reference section of the AMP Project site are not part of this repository; instead they are read from the amphtml GitHub repository "source of truth." When building the site these docs are fetched via GitHub.
Due to GitHub quotas this fetching will quickly fail unless additional information is provided in the request. This can be either a personal access token or an application id/secret.
Personal access token
- Request a GitHub personal access token. Since the docs are fetched from a public repository you only need to select the "public_repo" scope when creating the token. (It's a good practice to limit the token to the scope you need.)
- In your shell export the generated personal access token as
AMP_DOC_TOKEN
Application client id and secret
If you prefer not to use a personal access token, you can also create a GitHub application and use its id and secret.
- Register for a GitHub application
- In your shell export the application client id as
AMP_DOC_IDand the client secret asAMP_DOC_SECRET
Build
$ grow buildThis will generate a static, complete build of the site into the *build folder.
Develop
Note: Be sure to run grow build at least once to pull in reference docs before running the following command.
$ grow runYou can now open http://localhost:8080/ and continue working on the source files, then reload the page to see changes appear.
Support
