    "incantation": "When creating a Workers project, install `cf` globally and run `cf init <project-dir>`; then use `cf dev`, `cf build`, and `cf deploy` to develop, build, and deploy it. Sign in with `cf auth login` before deploying. [Install and sign in](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cf/get-started/)",

      "Requires Install globally with `npm install --global cf`, `yarn global add cf`, `pnpm add --global cf`, or `bun add --global cf`.",
      "<project-dir>: Directory for the new project; if omitted, `cf init` prompts for one.",
      "--package-manager <manager>: Select `npm`, `pnpm`, `yarn`, or `bun` for dependency installation; defaults to npm unless cf was run through another package manager.",
      "--no-install: Skip dependency installation; install dependencies before running `cf dev`.",
      "--no-browser: For `cf auth login`, print the sign-in link without opening a browser; useful on remote machines, SSH, or containers.",
      "Prerequisite: Install `cf` globally; the docs show `npm install --global cf`.",
      "Prerequisite: Loading `cloudflare.config.ts` requires Node.js 22.18 or later; set `\"type\": \"module\"` in the project's `package.json`.",
      "Prerequisite: Sign in is not needed until deployment. `cf deploy` resolves credentials and account; authenticate with `cf auth login`.",
