vercel-deploy
Deploy applications and websites to Vercel. Use when the user requests deployment actions like "deploy my app", "deploy and give me the link", "push this live", or "create a preview deployment".
Why this skill is useful
Adds a deploy script that automates the deployment process to Vercel, handling framework detection and packaging that the AI wouldn't generate on its own.

What this skill does
Vercel Deploy Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. Always deploy as preview (not production) unless the user explicitly asks for production. Prerequisites Check whether the Vercel CLI is installed without escalated permissions (for example, command -v vercel). Only escalate the actual deploy command if sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls (sandboxpermissions=requireescalated). The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values. Quick Start 1. Check whether the Vercel CLI is installed (no escalation for this check): 2. If vercel is installed, run this (with a 10 minute timeout): Important: Use a 10 minute (600000ms) timeout for the deploy command since builds can take a while. 3. If vercel is not installed, or if the CLI fails with "No existing credentials found", use the fallback method below. Fallback (No Auth) If CLI fails with auth error, use the deploy script: The script handles framework detection, packaging, and deployment. It waits for the build to complete and returns JSON with previewUrl and claimUrl. Tell the user: "Your deployment is ready at [previewUrl]. Claim it at [claimUrl] to manage your deployment." Production Deploys Only if user explicitly asks: Output Show the user the deployment URL. For fallback deployments, also show the claim URL. Do not curl or fetch the deployed URL to verify it works. Just return the link. Troubleshooting Escalated Network Access If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the actual deploy command with escalated permissions (use sandboxpermissions=requireescalated). Do not escalate the command -v vercel installation check. The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests. Example guidance to the user:
