# vercel-deploy

The skill tarballs your project, picks the framework on its own and pushes it to Vercel. You get a preview link plus a claim link for moving the deploy into your account.

## What it does

Everything runs through `bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh [path]`. Pass a project folder or an existing `.tgz`; with no argument the current directory is used. The archive leaves out `node_modules` and `.git`, then the script reads `package.json` to name the framework — Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Express, Hono and others are covered. A plain HTML project has no `package.json`, so the framework stays empty; a lone `.html` file that isn't called `index.html` gets renamed so it serves from `/`.

No authentication is involved. The run prints a Preview URL and a Claim URL, and also writes JSON to stdout with `previewUrl`, `claimUrl`, `deploymentId` and `projectId` for whatever consumes it next. Keep the Claim URL around — that's the handle for transferring the deployment to your own Vercel account.

On claude.ai the upload regularly fails because of network restrictions. Allow `*.vercel.com` under capabilities in settings and run it again. The skill installs from the `bytedance/deer-flow` repository into Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bytedance/deer-flow --skill vercel-deploy -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bytedance/deer-flow --skill vercel-deploy -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bytedance/deer-flow --skill vercel-deploy -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bytedance/deer-flow vercel-deploy
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bytedance/deer-flow --skill vercel-deploy -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow --path skills/public/vercel-deploy
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bytedance/deer-flow --skill vercel-deploy -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/bytedance/deer-flow/tree/HEAD/skills/public/vercel-deploy/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- put a project online on Vercel with one command
- hand a client a working preview link
- deploy static HTML with no build step
- move a deployment into your own Vercel account
- capture deploy output as JSON for another script

## Example prompts
- Deploy my app to Vercel and give me the link
- Create a preview deployment of `./frontend`
- Push this live and show me the claim link

name: vercel-deploy
description: Deploy applications and websites to Vercel. Use this skill when the user requests deployment actions such as "Deploy my app", "Deploy this to production", "Create a preview deployment", "Deploy and give me the link", or "Push this live".

# Vercel Deploy

Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. No authentication required.

## How It Works

1. Packages your project into a tarball (excludes `node_modules` and `.git`)
2. Auto-detects framework from `package.json`
3. Uploads to deployment service
4. Returns **Preview URL** (live site) and **Claim URL** (transfer to your Vercel account)

## Usage

```bash
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh [path]
```

**Arguments:**
- `path` - Directory to deploy, or a `.tgz` file (defaults to current directory)

**Examples:**

```bash
# Deploy current directory
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh

# Deploy specific project
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project

# Deploy existing tarball
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project.tgz
```

## Output

```
Preparing deployment...
Detected framework: nextjs
Creating deployment package...
Deploying...
✓ Deployment successful!

Preview URL: https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app
Claim URL:   https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...
```

The script also outputs JSON to stdout for programmatic use:

```json
{
  "previewUrl": "https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app",
  "claimUrl": "https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...",
  "deploymentId": "dpl_...",
  "projectId": "prj_..."
}
```

## Framework Detection

The script auto-detects frameworks from `package.json`. Supported frameworks include:

- **React**: Next.js, Gatsby, Create React App, Remix, React Router
- **Vue**: Nuxt, Vitepress, Vuepress, Gridsome
- **Svelte**: SvelteKit, Svelte, Sapper
- **Other Frontend**: Astro, Solid Start, Angular, Ember, Preact, Docusaurus
- **Backend**: Express, Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Elysia, h3, Nitro
- **Build Tools**: Vite, Parcel
- **And more**: Blitz, Hydrogen, RedwoodJS, Storybook, Sanity, etc.

For static HTML projects (no `package.json`), framework is set to `null`.

## Static HTML Projects

For projects without a `package.json`:
- If there's a single `.html` file not named `index.html`, it gets renamed automatically
- This ensures the page is served at the root URL (`/`)

## Present Results to User

Always show both URLs:

```
✓ Deployment successful!

- [Preview URL](https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app)
