What netlify-deploy does

The skill wraps the everyday parts of npx netlify. It starts by reading npx netlify status; with no active session it points you to npx netlify login or to setting NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN. Then it works out whether a site is already attached. For a Git project it tries npx netlify link --git-remote-url <REMOTE_URL>. When no Netlify site exists yet, npx netlify init takes over and handles team, site name and build settings.

Dependencies come next — npm install for an npm project. Publishing happens in two stages: npx netlify deploy returns a preview link with its own address, while npx netlify deploy --prod pushes to the live URL. Build config is read from netlify.toml when present. Without it, the CLI asks for a build command and publish directory, and the skill can suggest values based on the framework in package.json.

You need a Netlify account with an active login, and a deploy can run for several minutes, so set the timeout generously. Sandboxed networking that blocks outbound calls is a real blocker here: timeouts, DNS failures or dropped connections mean the upload never reaches Netlify. The fix is a rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

What it helps with

publish the current project folder to Netlify
attach a repo to an existing Netlify site by its Git remote
get a preview URL for testing before going live
set a build command and publish directory without a netlify.toml
find out why a deploy dies at login or at build

Example prompts for the agent

Check my Netlify login and deploy this as a preview
Link this repo to a Netlify site, then build and push to production
Run npx netlify deploy --prod and give me the site URL
