SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires fastly-cli.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents your main AI assistant from getting bogged down with complex Fastly CDN API details, which bloats context, increases costs, and reduces focus. It delegates specialized CDN queries to a sub-agent, ensuring your primary AI remains efficient and cost-effective.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fastly Service Management: List, describe, and manage your Fastly CDN services.
  • Backend & VCL Inspection: Easily view configured backends and VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) for any service.
  • Cache Purging: Safely purge CDN cache by service, key, or URL, with built-in warnings for critical operations.
  • Use Case: When a user asks to "purge all cache for pi.examplejobinc-cdn.com", this Skill automatically delegates the task to a specialized sub-agent, which executes the necessary cdn-purge command and returns a clear confirmation, without exposing complex CLI details to the main AI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I delegate Fastly CDN tasks to avoid cluttering my main AI context?

Delegation to CDN Agent routes Fastly queries—service management, backend inspection, VCL configuration, and cache purging—to a specialized sub-agent, keeping your primary AI focused and reducing token overhead. The sub-agent handles fastly-cli commands and returns clean results without exposing raw API calls.

Can I use this Skill to purge cache by URL, service, or key on Fastly?

Yes. The Skill delegates cache purge actions to a sub-agent that executes purge commands by service, key, or URL, with built-in warnings for critical operations. Requests mentioning purge or cache triggers automatic delegation.

What Fastly operations does this Skill support?

The Skill handles listing and describing Fastly services, viewing configured backends, inspecting VCL configurations, and executing cache purge actions. It triggers on mentions of fastly, cdn, vcl, backends, purge, or related domains.

Why delegate CDN queries instead of handling them directly in my main AI?

Fastly API details bloat context, increase token costs, and reduce focus on core tasks. Delegation to a specialized sub-agent isolates CDN complexity, preserves main AI efficiency, and delivers formatted results cleanly.

Do I need fastly-cli installed to use this Skill?

Yes. The Skill depends on fastly-cli. The sub-agent uses it to execute service listing, backend inspection, VCL retrieval, and cache purge operations against your Fastly account.

How does this Skill handle sensitive CDN operations like cache purging?

The Skill routes purge requests to a sub-agent with built-in warnings for critical operations. Results are formatted and returned without exposing internal commands, balancing automation safety with clean output.
