## What it does

This skill guides developers through deploying CrewAI projects to CrewAI AMP. The AMP builder enforces a strict project shape: a project root containing `pyproject.toml`, a committed `uv.lock` or `poetry.lock`, and code located under `src/<pkg>/`. Crew deployments require an `@CrewBase` class inside `crew.py`. Flow projects need a zero-argument `Flow` subclass in `main.py`. All imports must use absolute package paths. Relative imports trigger build failures on AMP.

All deployment commands must run from the project root. Pre-deploy validation executes project imports locally, writing data to the user storage folder. Set `CREWAI_STORAGE_DIR` to a scratch directory when running checks in CI environments. In automated pipelines, do not rely on exit codes from `crewai deploy create` because it exits with 0 even when internal validation fails. Always gate CI builds on `crewai deploy validate`, which returns exit code 1 on blocking errors.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add crewAIInc/skills --skill deploy-to-amp -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/deploy-to-amp/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add crewAIInc/skills --skill deploy-to-amp -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add crewAIInc/skills --skill deploy-to-amp -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install crewAIInc/skills deploy-to-amp
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add crewAIInc/skills --skill deploy-to-amp -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/crewAIInc/skills --path skills/deploy-to-amp
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add crewAIInc/skills --skill deploy-to-amp -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/crewAIInc/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/deploy-to-amp/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- restructure CrewAI projects to meet AMP build requirements
- resolve deployment failures caused by missing lockfiles
- convert relative module imports to absolute package paths
- configure crewai deploy validate checks inside CI pipelines

## Example prompts
- Run `crewai deploy validate` and fix layout issues before deploying to AMP
- Why is CrewAI AMP throwing No Flow subclass found for my flow?
- Configure my `pyproject.toml` and dependencies to publish this crew to AMP

description: "Getting a CrewAI crew or flow onto CrewAI AMP: the project shape the build expects (uv.lock, [tool.crewai] type, src/<pkg>/ entry points, a real Flow subclass, absolute imports, a self-contained root), `crewai deploy validate`, the three deploy paths (CLI create/push, GitHub, ZIP upload) and what each one actually uploads, env vars per deployment and what the CLI re-sends from .env, provider keys and extras, and machine-wide org selection. Use when running `crewai deploy create` / `crewai deploy push` / `crewai deploy validate`, when a deploy says Online but runs old code, old env values or lost a key, or when pasting errors like `missing_lockfile`, `Crew class annotated with @CrewBase not found`, `No Flow subclass found`, `Expected to find at least one of these files: uv.lock or poetry.lock`, `OPENAI_API_KEY is required`, `Anthropic native provider not available`, `deployment_not_found`, `git_clone_failure`, `Automation error, fix the code and deploy again`, or `pyproject.toml not found`."

# Deploy to CrewAI AMP

Ship a crew or flow to AMP without burning deploys on project-shape errors, stale code, stale env values, or the wrong org.

Verified against crewai 1.15.22 and 1.15.23 on 2026-10-01.
Live-tested on CrewAI AMP and real LLMs on 2026-10-01.
Run `crewai version` first; if the major/minor differs, re-verify the version-sensitive rows below with the `ask-docs` skill before trusting them.

## 1. Preflight - run these three every time

```bash
crewai org current        # which org will receive this deploy (machine-wide, see section 5)
uv lock && git status     # lockfile fresh, and you know what is uncommitted
crewai deploy validate    # local checks, no platform contact, exit 1 on blocking errors
```

`crewai deploy create` and `crewai deploy push` run the same validation automatically (skip with `--skip-validate` only when you know why). Every `crewai deploy` subcommand, including `status --uuid`, must run from the project root - elsewhere it stops with `Error: pyproject.toml not found.`

Exit codes are not a reliable signal in scripts or CI. `crewai deploy validate` exits 1 on errors, but `create` and `push` exit 0 when their built-in validation fails (`Pre-deploy validation failed. Fix the issues above or re-run with --skip-validate.`), and `status` / `logs` exit 0 on `deployment_not_found`. Gate CI on `crewai deploy validate` and check the command output, not only `$?`.

Validate imports your project, which creates crewai's local storage directory (on macOS `~/Library/Application Support/<pkg>/`). Set `CREWAI_STORAGE_DIR` to a scratch path when running it in CI or on a shared machine.

## 2. Project shape the build expects
