Cloudflare Troubleshooting
Investigate and resolve Cloudflare issues with API-driven evidence — ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, SSL mode mismatches, DNS, and proxy problems — instead of guessing.
Cloudflare errors are easy to misdiagnose when you're working from assumptions. This playbook queries the actual configuration first, then fixes the real cause.
Who it's for: web developers, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, sysadmins
Example
"My site shows ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS behind Cloudflare" → Claude queries the API, finds the SSL-mode mismatch, and walks you through the fix

> **Methodology base:** the general evidence-driven network-diagnosis discipline (falsification, layered isolation, counter-review) lives in the **debugging-network-issues** skill. This skill is the Cloudflare *domain* layer on top of it.
## Core Principle
**Investigate with evidence, not assumptions.** Always query Cloudflare API to examine actual configuration before diagnosing issues. The skill's value is the systematic investigation methodology, not predetermined solutions.

Quick Start
Step 1: Create a Project Folder
Make a dedicated folder for this workflow and open it in Claude Code.
Step 2: Download the Template
Click Download above to save the template, then drop it into your project as CLAUDE.md (or paste it into your existing one).
Step 3: Start Working
Tell Claude what you need in plain language — it will follow the template's workflow automatically. For example:
My site shows ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS behind Cloudflare
Claude reads the template and runs the steps for you.
