xvcl
Trigger and scope
Trigger on: XVCL, .xvcl files, VCL transpiler, VCL metaprogramming, #const/#for/#def/#inline in VCL context, writing a VCL script, writing VCL and running it locally, or any Fastly VCL writing task.
Do NOT trigger for: debugging existing .vcl files without XVCL, Fastly API/CLI ops, Fastly Compute, or Terraform — even if they mention VCL.
Writing VCL with XVCL
XVCL is a VCL transpiler that adds metaprogramming to Fastly VCL. Write .xvcl files, compile to .vcl, then test with Falco or deploy to Fastly. All XVCL constructs are resolved at compile time — zero runtime overhead.
Quick Start
# Compile (no install needed with uvx)
uvx xvcl main.xvcl -o main.vcl
# Lint the output
falco lint main.vcl
More from fastly/fastly-agent-toolkit
fastly
Configures, manages, and debugs the Fastly CDN platform — covering service and backend setup, caching and VCL, security features like DDoS/WAF/NGWAF/rate limiting/bot management, TLS certificates and cache purging, the Compute platform, and the REST API. Use when working with Fastly services or domains, setting up edge caching or origin shielding, configuring security features, making Fastly API calls, enabling products, or looking up Fastly documentation. Also applies when troubleshooting 503 errors or SSL/TLS certificate mismatches on Fastly, and for configuring logging endpoints, load balancing, ACLs, or edge dictionaries.
48falco
Lints, tests, simulates, and formats Fastly VCL code using the falco tool. Also serves as the authoritative VCL reference via the falco Go source, which implements Fastly's full VCL dialect. Use when validating VCL syntax, running VCL linting, testing VCL locally, simulating VCL request handling, formatting VCL files, writing VCL unit tests with assertions, debugging VCL logic errors, looking up VCL function signatures or variable scopes, understanding VCL subroutine behavior, or running `falco lint`/`falco simulate`/`falco test`/`falco fmt`. Also applies when working with VCL syntax errors, type mismatches in VCL, choosing which VCL subroutine to use, or setting up a local VCL development and testing environment.
47viceroy
Runs Fastly Compute WASM applications locally with Viceroy, specifically for Rust and Component Model projects. Use when starting a local Fastly Compute dev server with Viceroy, configuring fastly.toml for local backend overrides and store definitions, running Rust unit tests with cargo-nextest against the Compute runtime, debugging Compute apps locally, adapting core WASM modules to the Component Model, or troubleshooting local Compute testing issues (connection refused, missing backends, store config). For non-Rust Compute work or understanding the Compute API, prefer the fastlike skill instead — its source code is easier to understand as a Fastly Compute API reference.
45fastly-cli
Executes Fastly CLI commands for managing CDN services, Compute deploys, and edge infrastructure. Use when running `fastly` CLI commands, creating or managing Fastly services from the terminal, deploying Fastly Compute applications, managing backends/domains/VCL snippets via command line, purging cache, configuring log streaming, setting up TLS certificates, managing KV/config/secret stores, checking service stats, authenticating with Fastly SSO, or working with fastly.toml. Also applies when working with Fastly service IDs in CLI context, or with `fastly service`, `fastly compute`, `fastly auth`, or any Fastly CLI subcommand. Covers service CRUD, version management, autocloning, and troubleshooting common CLI errors.
43fastlike
Runs Fastly Compute WASM binaries locally and serves as the authoritative reference for Compute platform internals. The fastlike source code is highly readable and covers the host ABI, caching and purging APIs, KV/config/secret store interfaces, rate limiting with counters and penalty boxes, ACL lookups, the full request lifecycle, and backend fetch semantics. Use when working with Compute runtime internals or host calls, understanding how edge data stores behave at runtime, exploring the WASM Component Model adaptation layer, or testing WASM binaries locally. Prefer this skill over Viceroy for any non-Rust Compute work — its source code is easier to understand as a Fastly Compute API reference.
19fastly-ngwaf
Performs an internal audit of Fastly Next-Gen WAF (NGWAF) workspaces to audit that critical templated protection rules are configured and enabled. Use when auditing NGWAF workspace security posture, checking for missing or disabled login protection rules (LOGINDISCOVERY, LOGINATTEMPT, LOGINSUCCESS, LOGINFAILURE), auditing credit card validation rules (CC-VAL-ATTEMPT, CC-VAL-FAILURE, CC-VAL-SUCCESS), auditing gift card protection rules (GC-VAL-ATTEMPT, GC-VAL-FAILURE, GC-VAL-SUCCESS), or identifying potential login endpoints not covered by NGWAF rules.
