SKILL.md# PinMe
Zero-config deployment tool: upload static files to IPFS, or create and deploy full-stack web projects (React+Vite + Cloudflare Worker + D1 database). Workers also support sending emails via the PinMe platform API.
## When to Use
```dot
digraph pinme_decision {
"User Request" [shape=doublecircle];
"Needs backend API or database?" [shape=diamond];
"Upload Files (Path 1)" [shape=box];
"Full-Stack Project (Path 2)" [shape=box];
"User Request" -> "Needs backend API or database?";
"Needs backend API or database?" -> "Upload Files (Path 1)" [label="No"];
"Needs backend API or database?" -> "Full-Stack Project (Path 2)" [label="Yes"];
}
```
## Path 1: Upload Files / Static Sites
> Login required. Use `pinme login` or `pinme set-appkey <AppKey>` before `pinme upload` or `pinme import`.
```dot
digraph upload_flow {
"Install/update pinme to latest" [shape=box];
"Authenticate" [shape=box];
"Determine build artifacts" [shape=box];
"pinme upload <path>" [shape=box];
"Return preview URL" [shape=doublecircle];
"Install/update pinme to latest" -> "Authenticate";
"Authenticate" -> "Determine build artifacts";
"Determine build artifacts" -> "pinme upload <path>";
"pinme upload <path>" -> "Return preview URL";
}
```
**1. Check installation and update to latest:**
```bash
LOCAL=$(pinme --version 2>/dev/null || echo "0.0.0")
LATEST=$(npm view pinme version)
[ "$LOCAL" != "$LATEST" ] && npm install -g pinme@latest || echo "pinme is up to date ($LOCAL)"
```
**2. Authenticate:**
```bash
pinme login
# or: pinme set-appkey <AppKey>
```
**3. Determine upload target** (priority order):
1. `dist/` ā Vite / Vue / React
2. `build/` ā Create React App
3. `out/` ā Next.js static export
4. `public/` ā Plain static files
**4. Upload:**
```bash
pinme upload <path>
pinme upload ./dist --domain my-site # Optional: bind subdomain (wallet balance required)
```
**5. Return** the final URL printed by PinMe to the user. URL priority is: DNS domain > PinMe subdomain > short URL > preview URL. If it falls back to preview, return the **full URL** including all hash characters ā do not truncate.
### Common Examples
```bash
pinme upload ./document.pdf # Single file
pinme upload ./my-folder # Folder
pinme upload dist # Vite/Vue build artifacts
pinme upload build # CRA build artifacts
pinme upload out # Next.js static export
pinme upload ./dist --domain my-site # Bind PinMe subdomain (wallet balance required)
pinme import ./my-archive.car # Import CAR file
```
### Do NOT Upload
- `node_modules/`, `.env`, `.git/`, `src/`
- Only upload build artifacts, never upload source code
---
## Path 2: Full-Stack Project
> Login required. Uses React+Vite frontend + Cloudflare Worker backend + D1 SQLite database.
> When designing frontend projects, use Ant Design as the primary design reference, and prioritize following its conventions for layout, components, spacing, and interaction patterns.
```dot
digraph fullstack_flow {
"Install/update pinme to latest" [shape=box];
"pinme login" [shape=box];
"pinme create <name>" [shape=box];
"Modify template code" [shape=box];
"pinme save" [shape=box];
"Return preview URL" [shape=doublecircle];
"Install/update pinme to latest" -> "pinme login";
"pinme login" -> "pinme create <name>";
"pinme create <name>" -> "Modify template code";
"Modify template code" -> "pinme save";
"pinme save" -> "Return preview URL";
}
```
### Architecture
| Layer | Tech Stack | Deploy Target |
|-------|-----------|---------------|
| Frontend | React + Vite (`frontend/`) | IPFS |
| Backend | Cloudflare Worker (`backend/src/worker.ts`) | `{name}.pinme.pro` |
| Database | D1 SQLite (`db/*.sql`) | Cloudflare D1 |
### Core Commands
```bash
pinme login # Login (only needed once)
pinme create <dirName> # Clone template and create project (auto-fills API URL)
pinme save # First deploy / full update (frontend + backend + database, single command)
pinme update-worker # Update backend only (when only backend/src/worker.ts was modified)
pinme update-web # Update frontend only (when only frontend/src/ was modified)
pinme update-db # Run SQL migrations only (when only db/ was modified)
```
> `pinme save` deploys frontend + backend + database all at once. Only use `pinme update-*` when you're certain only one part was modified.
### Project Structure
```
{project}/
āāā pinme.toml # Root config (auto-generated, do not modify)
āāā package.json # Monorepo root (workspaces: frontend + backend)
āāā backend/
ā āāā wrangler.toml # Worker config (auto-generated, do not modify)
ā āāā package.json
ā āāā src/
ā āāā worker.ts # Backend entry ā primarily used for JSON APIs in this template
āāā db/
ā āāā 001_init.sql # SQL table definitions
āāā frontend/
ā āāā package.json
ā āāā vite.config.ts # Dev proxy: /api ā localhost:8787
ā āāā index.html
ā āāā .env # Auto-generated: VITE_API_URL (do not modify)
ā āāā src/
ā āāā main.tsx
ā āāā App.tsx
ā āāā utils/
ā ā āāā api.ts # export const API = import.meta.env.VITE_WORKER_URL || ''
ā ā āāā config.ts # Auto-generated: public_client_config (only when auth is enabled)
ā āāā pages/
ā āāā Home/
ā āāā index.tsx
āāā .gitignore
```
### First Deployment
```bash
LOCAL=$(pinme --version 2>/dev/null || echo "0.0.0")
LATEST=$(npm view pinme version)
[ "$LOCAL" != "$LATEST" ] && npm install -g pinme@latest
pinme login
pinme create my-app
cd my-app
```
`pinme create` generates a working Hello World template (includes frontend page + backend API routes + database schema). **Modify the template** to match the user's business logic ā do not write from scratch:
- Modify `backend/src/worker.ts` ā replace API routes
- Modify `frontend/src/pages/` ā replace page components
- Modify `db/001_init.sql` ā replace table definitions
```bash
pinme save
# Single command deploys frontend + backend + database
# Outputs preview URL: https://pinme.eth.limo/#/preview/{CID}
```
**Return** the preview URL to the user. Note: return the **full URL** including all hash characters ā do not truncate.
The backend Worker is deployed at `https://{name}.pinme.pro`. Frontend API requests are automatically configured to point to that address ā no manual setup needed.
### Subsequent Updates
| Changes | Command | Notes |
|---------|---------|-------|
| Backend only (`backend/src/worker.ts`) | `pinme update-worker` | Faster |
| Frontend only (`frontend/src/`) | `pinme update-web` | Generates new CID |
| Database only (`db/`) | `pinme update-db` | Runs new migrations |
| Multiple changes or uncertain | `pinme save` | Safe full deployment |
> Each frontend deployment generates a new CID and preview URL. Old URLs remain accessible.

## Worker Code Patterns (`backend/src/worker.ts`)
In this template, the Worker backend is primarily used for JSON APIs. Prefer standard Web APIs and simple manual routing by default. Worker-compatible libraries can be added when needed, but the default template does not rely on extra frameworks. Avoid packages that depend on a full Node.js runtime, a persistent local filesystem, native binaries, or child processes.
```typescript
export interface Env {
DB: D1Database; // When using database
API_KEY?: string; // When using email sending
JWT_SECRET: string; // When using JWT auth
ADMIN_PASSWORD: string; // When using password auth
}
const CORS_HEADERS = {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type, Authorization, X-API-Key',
};
function json(data: unknown, status = 200): Response {
return Response.json(data, { status, headers: CORS_HEADERS });
}
export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
const { pathname } = new URL(request.url);
const method = request.method;
if (method === 'OPTIONS') return new Response(null, { status: 204, headers: CORS_HEADERS });
try {
if (pathname === '/api/items' && method === 'GET') return handleGetItems(env);
if (pathname === '/api/items' && method === 'POST') return handleCreateItem(request, env);
return json({ error: 'Not found' }, 404);
} catch {
return json({ error: 'Internal server error' }, 500);
}
},
};
```
### Worker Constraints and Default Conventions
| Item | Notes |
|------|------|
| Dependency choice | Prefer standard Web APIs and simple manual routing by default. If extra dependencies are needed, prefer Worker-compatible libraries. |
| Node.js capability | Workers now support part of Node.js compatibility, but they are not a full Node.js runtime. Do not assume all Node.js built-in modules are available or behave exactly the same. |
| Filesystem | Do not treat a Worker like a server with a persistent local disk. Even if some `fs` capabilities are available, do not rely on persistence across requests. |
| Response types | This template mainly uses the Worker for JSON APIs. If there is a clear need, it can also be adapted to return HTML or other content. |
| Password storage | Never store passwords in plaintext. Use a dedicated password hashing algorithm such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2. |
| SQL | Do not build SQL by string concatenation. Use parameterized queries such as `.bind()`. |
### Email API Reference (for Worker Backend)
When the backend needs email sending, use the PinMe platform API (`https://pinme.cloud/api/v4/send_email`).
**1. Configure API_KEY**
Add to the `Env` interface:
```typescript
export interface Env {
DB: D1Database;
API_KEY?: string; // Required for email sending
}
```
**2. Email Handler Code**
```typescript
async function handleSendEmail(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
const apiKey = env.API_KEY;
if (!apiKey) {
return json({ error: 'API_KEY not configured' }, 500);
}
const body = await request.json() as {
to?: string;
subject?: string;
html?: string;
};
if (!body.to) return json({ error: 'Email address is required' }, 400);
if (!body.subject) return json({ error: 'Subject is required' }, 400);
if (!body.html) return json({ error: 'HTML content is required' }, 400);
const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;
if (!emailRegex.test(body.to)) {
return json({ error: 'Invalid email address' }, 400);
}
const response = await fetch('https://pinme.cloud/api/v4/send_email', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-API-Key': apiKey,
},
body: JSON.stringify({
to: body.to,
subject: body.subject,
html: body.html,
}),
});
const result = await response.json();
return json(result);
}
```
## Frontend API Utility (frontend/src/utils/api.ts)
```typescript
// Development: Vite proxies /api to localhost:8787
// Production: VITE_API_URL is auto-injected by pinme create
export const API = import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL || '';
export function getApiUrl(path: string): string {
return API ? `${API}${path}` : path;
}
```
## D1 Database Operations
```typescript
// Query multiple rows
const { results } = await env.DB.prepare('SELECT * FROM t WHERE x = ?').bind(val).all();
// Query single row (returns null if not found)
const row = await env.DB.prepare('SELECT * FROM t WHERE id = ?').bind(id).first();
// Insert and return new row
const row = await env.DB.prepare('INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (?, ?) RETURNING *').bind(a, b).first();
// Update
await env.DB.prepare('UPDATE t SET a = ? WHERE id = ?').bind(val, id).run();
// Delete (check if affected)
const { meta } = await env.DB.prepare('DELETE FROM t WHERE id = ?').bind(id).run();
if (meta.changes === 0) return json({ error: 'Not found' }, 404);
```
### SQL Migration Files
**Format:** `db/NNN_description.sql` (for example, `001_init.sql`). Files are executed in filename order.
**SQLite Type Constraints:**
| Do Not Use | Alternative |
|-----------|-------------|
| `BOOLEAN` | `INTEGER` (0 = false, 1 = true) |
| `DATETIME` / `TIMESTAMP` | `TEXT`, stored as ISO 8601 (default: `datetime('now')`) |
| `JSON` type | `TEXT`, using `JSON.stringify()` / `JSON.parse()` |
| `VARCHAR(n)` | `TEXT` |
## Template Architecture Suggestions
| Scenario | Default Suggestion |
|-----------|-------------|
| File storage (image uploads) | Store external image URLs, or upload with `pinme upload` first and then store the resulting link |
| Real-time communication | This template defaults to regular HTTP APIs. If there is no clear real-time requirement, start with polling |
| Multiple Workers | This template defaults to combining functionality into a single Worker and separating routes by prefix |
| Multiple databases | This template defaults to combining data into one D1 database and only splitting when isolation is truly needed |
## Important Notes
- `pinme.toml`, `backend/wrangler.toml`, and `frontend/.env` are generated by PinMe. Do not edit them manually by default. If extra runtime configuration is truly needed, prefer doing it through PinMe-supported mechanisms.
- Obtain the frontend API URL from the `VITE_API_URL` environment variable. Do not hardcode it.
- Passwords, tokens, and API keys must be stored in secrets. Never put them in config files.
## Common Errors
| Error | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| `command not found: pinme` | `npm install -g pinme` |
| `No such file or directory` | Verify that the path exists |
| `Permission denied` | Check file or directory permissions |
| Upload failed | Check the network connection and retry |
| Not logged in | Run `pinme login` first |
## Other Commands
```bash
pinme list / pinme ls -l 5 # View upload history
pinme list -c # Clear upload history
pinme rm <hash> # Delete uploaded content
pinme bind <path> --domain <domain> # Bind domain (VIP + AppKey required)
pinme export <CID> # Export as CAR file
pinme set-appkey # Set/view AppKey
pinme my-domains # List bound domains
pinme delete <project> # Delete project (Worker + domain + D1)
pinme logout # Log out
