## Summary

Pagecast is a CLI tool (run via `npx pagecast`) that lets a coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) publish HTML or Markdown directly to your own free Cloudflare Pages account with a single confirmation. You own the URL, data, and bandwidth - no middleman service, no login-walled previews, and stable URLs that update in place on republish.

## Key Insight

- **Publishes to your own free Cloudflare Pages**, not a third-party host. No lock-in, nothing to cancel - the link survives even if your laptop is off (served from Cloudflare's edge).
- **Single command, no install ceremony:** `npx pagecast` to set up, one click to connect Cloudflare, then `pagecast publish report.md`. No build step, no config files, no account with the vendor.
- **Stable URLs that update in place** - republishing keeps the same address, so a shared link always shows the latest version. Supports custom memorable paths (not random hashes).
- **Agent-native workflow:** designed so the agent offers "Publish this?" inside the chat you're already in; works with both Claude Code and Codex (not bolted to one editor).
- **Positioned against OpenAI's "Codex Sites"** - which the site notes is enterprise-only, OpenAI-hosted, and Codex-only. Pagecast's pitch is the opposite: free, vendor-neutral, self-owned. (Not affiliated with OpenAI or Cloudflare.)
- Can **watch a file and push on every save**, and supports quick HTML/Markdown edits inside Pagecast without a round-trip to the code editor.
