render-deploy
Deploy applications to Render by analyzing codebases, generating render.yaml Blueprints, and providing Dashboard deeplinks. Use when the user wants to deploy, host, publish, or set up their application on Render's cloud platform.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for generating render.yaml Blueprints and automating deployment processes to Render's cloud platform.

What this skill does
Deploy to Render Render supports Git-backed services and prebuilt Docker image services. This skill covers Git-backed flows: 1. Blueprint Method - Generate render.yaml for Infrastructure-as-Code deployments 2. Direct Creation - Create services instantly via MCP tools Blueprints can also run a prebuilt Docker image by using runtime: image, but the render.yaml still must live in a Git repo. If there is no Git remote, stop and ask the user to either: Create/push a Git remote (can be minimal if only the Blueprint is needed), or Use the Render Dashboard/API to deploy a prebuilt Docker image (MCP cannot create image-backed services). Prerequisites When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandboxpermissions=requireescalated. The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values. When to Use This Skill Activate this skill when users want to: Deploy an application to Render Create a render.yaml Blueprint file Set up Render deployment for their project Host or publish their application on Render's cloud platform Create databases, cron jobs, or other Render resources Happy Path (New Users) Use this short prompt sequence before deep analysis to reduce friction: 1. Ask whether they want to deploy from a Git repo or a prebuilt Docker image. 2. Ask whether Render should provision everything the app needs (based on what seems likely from the user's description) or only the app while they bring their own infra. If dependencies are unclear, ask a short follow-up to confirm whether they need a database, workers, cron, or other services. Then proceed with the appropriate method below. Choose Your Source Path Git Repo Path: Required for both Blueprint and Direct Creation. The repo must be pushed to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Prebuilt Docker Image Path: Supported by Render via image-backed services. This is not supported by MCP; use the Dashboard/API. …
