vercel-storage-data — Claude Code skill: Vercel storage and data
Tells the agent which Vercel service fits your data: Postgres, Redis, Blob, Edge Config or the data cache.
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-storage-data -a claude-codeWhat vercel-storage-data does
The skill covers Vercel's managed data services: Postgres for relational tables, Redis for caching and ephemeral state, Vercel Blob for uploads and media, Edge Config for configuration read from Edge Runtime, plus response caching. The agent pulls up the matching section when you are picking where data should live.
Everything sits in one SKILL.md with a section per service: provisioning, credentials and connection strings, access from Functions and Edge workloads, usage monitoring. It is marked user-invocable: false and disable-model-invocation: true, so no slash command shows up — the file loads as reference material instead. Three related skills are mentioned, vercel-functions-runtime, vercel-networking-domains and vercel-observability, and they are optional.
Handy when the app already runs on Vercel and you are weighing a managed database against an external one. Keep in mind the sections stay at overview level: no table schemas, no code samples, so the Vercel docs are where you go for details.
What it helps with
- pick between Postgres, Redis and Blob for a given workload
- wire up a connection string to managed Postgres
- add caching for API responses and short-lived state
- store user uploads and media in Vercel Blob
- move configuration into Edge Config for Edge Runtime reads
Example prompts for the agent
- what should I use on Vercel to store user uploads?
- I need response caching for my Vercel API — what do I set up?
- how do I connect to managed Postgres from a Function?

Questions about vercel-storage-data
How do I install vercel-storage-data in Claude?
Run npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill vercel-storage-data -a claude-code. The skill lands at ~/.claude/skills/vercel-storage-data/SKILL.md.
How do I install it for Cursor or Claude?
Same command with a different flag: -a cursor or -a codex. The file goes to .cursor/skills/vercel-storage-data/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/vercel-storage-data/SKILL.md.
Is there a slash command for it?
No. It is set to user-invocable: false, so nothing appears in the command list — the skill loads as reference material.

## Overview
Vercel provides managed data services and storage for application state, cache, and files.
## Postgres
- Provision Postgres for relational data.
- Manage credentials and connection strings.
## Redis
- Use Redis for caching and ephemeral state.
- Configure access for Functions and Edge workloads.
## Vercel Blob
- Store and serve files with Vercel Blob.
- Use Blob for uploads, assets, and media storage.
## Edge Config
- Use Edge Config for low-latency configuration and feature data.
- Read from Edge Runtime workloads.
## Data Cache and Storage
- Use data cache features for response caching.
- Review storage options for app data.
## Complementary Skills
When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):
- **vercel-functions-runtime**: Functions and Edge access to data.
- **vercel-networking-domains**: Edge caching and routing.
- **vercel-observability**: Usage and performance monitoring.
*Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.*
