Vercel Deploy Skill for Codex

Deploy applications and websites to Vercel with a claimable preview. 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". No authentication required - returns preview URL and claimable deployment link.

Vercel Deploy

Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. No authentication required.

How It Works

  • Packages your project into a .tar.gz (excludes node_modules and .git)
  • Auto-detects framework from package.json
  • Uploads to deployment service
  • Returns Preview URL (live site) and Claim URL (transfer to your Vercel account)

Usage

bash scripts/deploy.sh [path]

Arguments:

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

If you pass a directory, the script will create a .tar.gz before upload.

Examples:

# 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

Packaging Rules

  • Exclude node_modules and .git
  • If no package.json, keep framework as null
  • For static HTML with a single .html file, rename it to index.html before packaging

Output

Preparing deployment...
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 Egress Error

If deployment fails due to network restrictions, tell the user:

Deployment failed due to network restrictions. To fix this:

1. Allow outbound access to *.vercel.com
2. Try deploying again
