## What it does

The skill splits a deploy into four phases: pre-flight checks, authentication, the share run, and verification. It starts by looking at `webflow.json`, installed dependencies and any token in `.env`, then helps you either log in through the browser or pass a token on the command line. The actual publish is `npx webflow library share`, and afterwards it points you to the Add panel in Designer to confirm the components landed.

For pipelines there is a separate path: put the token in `WEBFLOW_WORKSPACE_API_TOKEN` and run the command with `--no-input` so nothing blocks on a prompt. The GitHub Actions example pulls that token from repository secrets. One thing to keep in mind: a deploy replaces the whole library, there are no partial updates, and renaming a `.webflow.tsx` file breaks instances already placed on a page.

The skill expects Node.js 18+, React 18+, TypeScript and `@webflow/webflow-cli`. If a deploy has already failed, this is the wrong tool — the set includes `troubleshoot-deploy` for diagnosing errors and `pre-deploy-check` for validating before you publish.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill webflow-code-component:deploy-guide -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill deploy-guide -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill deploy-guide -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill deploy-guide -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install webflow/webflow-skills deploy-guide
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills --path plugins/webflow-skills/skills/deploy-guide
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill deploy-guide -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/webflow/webflow-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/deploy-guide/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- publish a component library to a Webflow workspace for the first time
- set up non-interactive deploys from CI
- generate a workspace API token and keep it in `.env`
- confirm components show up in the Designer Add panel
- re-deploy the library after editing components

## Example prompts
- Deploy my components to Webflow
- Walk me through my first library deploy to a workspace
- Set up component deploys in GitHub Actions with a token from secrets

# Deploy Guide

Guide users through deploying their code component library to Webflow.

## When to Use This Skill

**Use when:**
- User is ready to deploy components to Webflow
- User asks how to share, publish, or deploy their library
- First-time deployment to a workspace
- Step-by-step deployment walkthrough needed

**Do NOT use when:**
- Deployment failed (use troubleshoot-deploy instead)
- Just validating before deploy (use pre-deploy-check instead)
- Setting up local development (use local-dev-setup instead)

**Note:** The CLI command is `webflow library share`. This skill uses "deploy" as the user-facing term.

## Instructions

### Phase 1: Pre-Flight Checks

1. **Verify project is ready**:
   - Check webflow.json configuration
   - Ensure all dependencies installed
   - Run pre-deploy-check skill checks

2. **Check authentication status**:
   - Look for existing .env with API token
   - Verify WEBFLOW_WORKSPACE_API_TOKEN if set
   - Prepare for authentication if needed

3. **Confirm deployment target**:
   - Which workspace?
   - New library or update existing?

### Phase 2: Authentication

4. **Guide authentication**:
   - Interactive: Follow CLI prompts
   - CI/CD: Use --api-token flag
   - Show how to get workspace API token if needed

### Phase 3: Deployment

5. **Execute deployment**:
   - Run `npx webflow library share`
   - Monitor for errors
   - Capture output

### Phase 4: Verification

6. **Verify deployment**:
   - Check Webflow Designer for components
   - Test component functionality
   - Confirm all components appear

7. **Provide next steps**:
   - How to use components in Designer
   - How to update in future
   - Common post-deploy tasks
   - If deployment fails, use [troubleshoot-deploy](../troubleshoot-deploy/SKILL.md) to diagnose and fix issues
