What this skill does

Intro in this page language first. The official description stays in its original wording; we do not rewrite SKILL.md.

What it does

When to use it

The official description does not include a separate “Use when”. Per the spec, agents activate this skill when the task matches keywords in that description.

How agents load it

Per Agent Skills progressive disclosure: name and description load at startup (~100 tokens); the full SKILL.md body loads when the skill activates; scripts/, references/, and assets/ load only as needed. This file's sections: Cloudflare Basin; Rebrand; Choose the workflow; Skill feedback. It includes spec-recommended sections: step-by-step instructions.

File analysis

File analysis: besides SKILL.md, the body references references/pipelines/README.md, references/catalog/README.md, references/sql/README.md, references/skill-feedback.md. Those resources load on demand.

Install this skill

Skills CLI ↗

Choose the target agent and installation scope, keep referenced package files, then verify the skill appears in the client's catalog.

This skill references supporting files. Retrieve the complete directory from the source; copying SKILL.md alone may leave missing dependencies.

Ask your Agent to install

Copy these instructions to a compatible agent and confirm the target directory matches your client.

Install the agent skill "basin" into my project. The full SKILL.md and official description are at https://zicq.com/en/skills/skl-794b626007f3b4f1-Basin.html
Save it as .cursor/skills/basin/SKILL.md or .claude/skills/basin/SKILL.md and keep the frontmatter name and description exactly as-is.
This skill also ships scripts/, references/, or assets/ — fetch the whole folder from https://github.com/cloudflare/skills instead of creating only a SKILL.md.

# Cloudflare Basin

Basin ingests and transforms events, manages Apache Iceberg tables in R2, and queries them with distributed SQL. Start with the [Basin overview](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin/index.md) and retrieve the relevant current docs before implementing changes, especially for limits, pricing, permissions, and CLI syntax. While PR #33850 remains open, use the proposed pages in that PR if the new URLs have not been published.

## Rebrand

Cloudflare Data Platform is now **Basin**. Cloudflare Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and R2 SQL are now **Basin Pipelines**, **Basin Catalog**, and **Basin SQL**. Existing resources and configurations continue to work. The prior Wrangler command families also continue to work: `wrangler pipelines`, `wrangler r2 bucket catalog`, and `wrangler r2 sql`. Use the new Basin commands and documentation URLs in new guidance. Legacy API identifiers and metrics names may still use the old terms; check the current docs for deprecation details. The migration is documented in [cloudflare-docs PR #33850](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/pull/33850).

## Choose the workflow

| Need | Product | Reference | Current docs |
|------|---------|-----------|--------------|
| Receive events, transform rows, and deliver to R2 | Basin Pipelines | [Pipelines guide](references/pipelines/README.md) | [Basin Pipelines](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-pipelines/index.md) |
| Manage Iceberg metadata, table maintenance, and engine access | Basin Catalog | [Catalog guide](references/catalog/README.md) | [Basin Catalog](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-catalog/index.md) |
| Query Iceberg tables with analytical SQL | Basin SQL | [SQL guide](references/sql/README.md) | [Basin SQL](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-sql/index.md) |

Typical flow: Basin Pipelines → Basin Catalog tables in R2 → Basin SQL or a compatible external engine. Begin with the [Basin getting started guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin/get-started/guide/index.md) for an end-to-end setup.

The proposed Wrangler command families are `wrangler basin pipelines`, `wrangler basin catalog`, and `wrangler basin sql`. Basin SQL uses `WRANGLER_BASIN_SQL_AUTH_TOKEN`; its REST query path is `/basin-sql/query/{BUCKET}`. Check the installed Wrangler version and current reference pages before running commands because the migration is ongoing.
