/pinme

name: pinme
description: Use this skill when the user mentions "pinme", or needs to upload files, store to IPFS, create/publish/deploy websites or full-stack services (including frontend pages, backend APIs, database storage, email sending, etc.), or any feature requiring backend database/server support.

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): 1. `dist/` — Vite / Vue / React 2. `build/` — Create React App 3. `out/` — Next.js static export 4. `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.
