Agent skill
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".

SKILL.md
Vercel Deploy
Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. Always deploy as preview (not production) unless the user explicitly asks for production.
Prerequisites
- When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with
sandbox_permissions=require_escalated. - The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.
Quick Start
Just run this (with a 10 minute timeout):
vercel deploy [path] -y
Important: Use a 10 minute (600000ms) timeout for the deploy command since builds can take a while.
If that fails with "No existing credentials found", use the fallback method below.
Fallback (No Auth)
If CLI fails with auth error, use the deploy script:
# Deploy current directory
bash scripts/deploy.sh
# Deploy specific project
bash scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project
# Deploy existing tarball
bash scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project.tgz
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:
vercel deploy [path] --prod -y
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 deploy with escalated permissions (use sandbox_permissions=require_escalated). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.
Example guidance to the user:
The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Vercel. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?
