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

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.

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:

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:

pinme login
# or: pinme set-appkey <AppKey>

3. Determine upload target (priority order):

  • dist/ — Vite / Vue / React
  • build/ — Create React App
  • out/ — Next.js static export
  • public/ — Plain static files

4. Upload:

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 — do not truncate.

Common Examples

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.

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 |

| Object storage | R2 (env.R2) | Cloudflare R2 |

Capability-Specific Skills

  • For Worker file uploads, downloads, images, attachments, media, or object storage, use the pinme-r2 skill. PinMe injects the project bucket as env.R2; do not replace it with D1 BLOBs or Worker filesystem state.

Core Commands

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.

First Deployment

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 — do not write from scratch:

  • Modify backend/src/worker.ts — replace API routes
  • Modify frontend/src/pages/ — replace page components
  • Modify db/001_init.sql — replace table definitions
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 — do not truncate.

The backend Worker is deployed at https://{name}.pinme.pro. Frontend API requests are automatically configured to point to that address — 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.

export interface Env {
  DB: D1Database;           // When using database
  R2: R2Bucket;             // Project object storage; injected by PinMe
  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:

export interface Env {
  DB: D1Database;
  API_KEY?: string;  // Required for email sending
}

2. Email Handler Code

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)

// 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

// 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 (images, attachments, media) | Use the project R2 binding through env.R2; use the pinme-r2 skill for secure routes and metadata patterns |

| 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

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)

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take glitternetwork/pinme from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
