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". No authentication required - returns preview URL and claimable deployment link. metadata: author: vercel version: "1.0.0"

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

Arguments:

• path - Directory to deploy, or a .tgz file (defaults to current directory)

Examples:

# 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:

{
  "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)
- [Claim URL](https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...)

View your site at the Preview URL.
To transfer this deployment to your Vercel account, visit the Claim URL.

Troubleshooting

Network Restriction Error

If deployment fails due to network restrictions (common on claude.ai), tell the user:

Deployment failed due to network restrictions. To fix this:

1. Go to https://claude.ai/settings/capabilities
2. Add *.vercel.com to the allowed domains
3. Try deploying again
