## What it does

The hook intercepts `PostToolUse` events matching `Write`, `Edit`, and `MultiEdit` actions. When a write operation succeeds, the shell script inspects the file extension against `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.json`, `.md`, `.css`, `.scss`, and `.html`. Changes inside `node_modules`, `.next`, or `.vercel` directories are ignored.

Branch context determines the deployment flow. For `main` or `master`, the script issues a POST request directly to the Vercel API v13 with your project ID and Git reference. On `develop` or `staging` branches, it runs `vercel --yes --force` to push a preview build. Any other branch stops execution silently.

Without `VERCEL_TOKEN` and `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` present in your environment, the script prints a warning and skips deployment. The hook also relies on `bash`, `curl`, and `jq` being installed in your environment.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --hook automation/vercel-auto-deploy
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/settings.json` — The hooks block: event (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop…) → command. Personal ones go to ~/.claude/settings.json

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/hooks/automation/vercel-auto-deploy.json

## When to use it
- trigger Vercel production deployments automatically after file edits
- generate preview deployments when editing in develop or staging branches
- prevent deployment triggers on generated files in node_modules or .next

## Example prompts
- Update the navigation links inside `Header.tsx`
- Change the primary accent color in `styles/main.css`
- Update redirects and rewrites in `routes.json`
