deploy

deploy is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,851 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment workflow that builds a project, checks its output, sends it to a hosting platform, waits for completion, and checks the live site.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a CI/CD pipeline after tests pass to deploy changes and verify that the deployed site responds.
Why use it?
It removes the need to coordinate build, deployment, waiting, retries, and basic post-deployment checks manually.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument; mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/run-smoke.sh "$DEPLOY_URL".

Good fit Use it in a CI/CD pipeline after tests pass to deploy changes and verify that the deployed site responds.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Deploy

HARD GATE — Do not deploy without running tests first. Run test or your CI suite before this skill.

HARD GATE — Use this skill from a CI/CD pipeline or post-merge on main/master. Never deploy from a feature branch.

HARD GATE — The deploy skill orchestrates deployment; the smoke-test skill validates post-deploy health. Chain them: deploy → smoke-test.

Orchestrate a full build-to-deployment pipeline: build the artifact, verify it exists and is non-empty, invoke a platform deploy tool (MCP or CLI), poll until the deploy completes or times out, then run a baseline smoke test against the live URL.

Pipeline Stages

build → verify artifact → deploy → wait/retry → smoke
Stage Description Failure mode
Build Execute the project's build command Non-zero exit: report build error
Verify Check artifact exists and is non-empty Missing/empty: report artifact path
Deploy Invoke platform deploy tool (MCP, Vercel CLI, rsync, etc.) Non-zero exit: report deploy error
Wait Poll deploy status every 30s up to DEPLOY_TIMEOUT (default 5 min) Timeout: report exceeded
Smoke curl -sSf $DEPLOY_URL as baseline health check Non-200: report failure

Process

1. Detect build command

Read project manifest files in order to determine the build command:

Manifest Build command
package.json npm run build (or scripts.build value)
Cargo.toml cargo build --release
pyproject.toml / setup.py Depends on build backend (poetry build, pip install -e ., etc.)
Makefile make build or first target named build
AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md Look for build: in project commands section

If no manifest is found, prompt the user with: "No detected build command. Pass --build 'npm run build' or specify the command."

2. Build the artifact

npm run build

Or the detected command from step 1. If the build fails, exit non-zero and report the build output.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
