Beta Code export is part of the Agent Lee beta. Behaviors and limits described here may change. When Agent Lee generates a small project for you — for example, a starter static site or a Worker — you can export the source so you can keep working on it locally. Agent Lee packages the generated files into a temporary repository and gives you a one-time command to clone it to your machine. This is a **take-home** flow: the repository is short-lived and lives in Cloudflare-managed storage, not in your account. It is meant for getting generated code onto your own machine, after which you push it to a Git host of your choice. You do not need to connect a GitHub or GitLab account. ## How it works - **Temporary repository.** When you export, Agent Lee writes the generated files to a repository that expires about 36 hours after it is created. Once it expires, the export card disables the copy button and the code can no longer be cloned. - **On-demand clone command.** Agent Lee does not put a clone command or credential in the chat transcript. Instead, the export card shows a **Copy clone command** button that fetches a fresh command when you select it. The command embeds a read credential that is valid for about one hour. - **Export card.** The card shows the project name, the list of exported files, and a countdown to expiry so you know how long you have to clone. ## Export and clone your code 1. Ask Agent Lee to build something that produces code, then ask it to export the code. For example: "Export this project so I can clone it." 2. In the export card that appears, review the file list and the expiry countdown. 3. Select **Copy clone command**. Agent Lee fetches a fresh command and copies it to your clipboard. 4. Paste the command into your terminal and run it. What you copied is already a complete `git clone` invocation, so do not add anything to it. It has the following shape, where the credential is embedded in the remote URL and the final argument is the local directory to create: ```sh git clone https://@/.git ``` 5. Change into the new directory, point the repository at your own Git host, and push it there to keep it: ```sh cd git remote set-url origin https://your-git-host.example/you/your-repo.git git push -u origin main ``` ## Security and privacy - **No credential in chat.** The clone command and its read credential are delivered only when you select **Copy clone command** — never in the message text, conversation history, or model context. Agent Lee will not type the clone command into the chat, so do not ask it to. - **Short-lived access.** The read credential expires about an hour after it is issued. If the command stops working before the repository expires, return to the export card and copy a fresh one. - **Nothing is written to your account.** The temporary repository lives in Cloudflare-managed storage. Agent Lee does not create repositories, tokens, or other resources in your Cloudflare account to perform an export. - **Automatic cleanup.** The temporary repository is deleted automatically once it expires. Clone and push to your own host before then. ## Limitations - Exported repositories are temporary and are not backed up. Once a repository expires, it cannot be recovered. - The clone credential is read-only and single-purpose. You cannot push back to the temporary repository — push to your own Git host instead. - Code export is intended for small, self-contained projects that Agent Lee generates during a conversation. A single export can include: - up to 50 files - up to 100 KB per file - up to 2 MB in total Agent Lee tells you if a project is too large to export. If that happens, ask it for a smaller subset of the project. ## Related resources - [Agent Lee overview](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-lee/) - [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/) Was this helpful?
