vercel-cli · timschoch — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill lets an agent use Vercel CLI to inspect deployments, environment variables, and runtime logs. Use it when deployment state matters.
npx skills add timschoch/skilly --skill vercel-cli -a claude-codeWhat vercel-cli does
The skill directs the agent to the vercel CLI for operational checks. It can fetch local environment variables with vercel env pull, inspect a deployment using vercel inspect <url>, read runtime output through vercel logs <url>, and list deployments with vercel ls. The CLI help command is vercel --help.
Use it for Vercel state, environment variables, or logs rather than application coding. A manual production vercel deploy should be used only when the repository workflow explicitly calls for that step.
What it helps with
- pull environment variables for local development
- inspect a specific Vercel deployment
- read runtime logs from a deployment
- list the project’s deployments
- discover available Vercel CLI commands
Example prompts for the agent
- Use
vercel env pullto bring the project’s environment variables into local development. - Inspect the deployment at
<url>and report its current state. - Read the runtime logs, then list the latest Vercel deployments.
