Deployment guidelines are instructions for publishing and configuring a multi-zone web application, where separate applications work together under one domain.

Use them to set up separate Vercel projects, environment files, domains, databases, authentication, monitoring, and zone-specific behavior.

They reduce configuration mistakes between local, test, and production environments, including missing variables, broken navigation, and inconsistent authentication.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lacymorrow/paperclip-hub

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.

When invoked 635 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00635
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00254
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00127
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00064

Security

Grade A, and why

deployment scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Deployment Best Practices

Multi-Zone Deployment

Zone Deployment Strategy

Deploy each zone as separate Vercel project
Use consistent naming: main-shipkit, docs-shipkit, blog-shipkit, ui-shipkit, tools-shipkit
Configure environment variables pointing to zone URLs
Assign custom domain to main application
Test cross-zone navigation and functionality

Zone Environment Configuration

Main app contains zone domain environment variables
Each zone has its own environment configuration
Use separate databases or shared database per zone requirements
Configure authentication to work across zones
Set up monitoring for each zone independently

Zone-Specific Optimizations

Documentation zone: Static generation, search optimization
Blog zone: ISR for posts, SEO optimization
UI zone: Component isolation, visual regression testing
Tools zone: Client-side rendering, real-time features

Environment Setup

Use .env.local for local development
Use .env.production for production
Use .env.test for testing
Never commit environment files
Document all required variables
Use strong naming conventions
Validate environment variables at startup

Docker Configuration

Use multi-stage builds
Optimize layer caching
Include only necessary files
Use appropriate base images
Set proper environment variables
Configure health checks
Document all configurations

CI/CD Pipeline

Automate build process
Run tests before deployment
Check code quality
Scan for vulnerabilities
Use proper caching
Implement proper rollbacks
Monitor deployment status

Production Deployment

Use proper build optimization
Enable proper caching
Configure proper headers
Set up monitoring
Configure logging
Set up alerts
Plan for scaling

Infrastructure

Use infrastructure as code
Implement proper monitoring
Set up logging
Configure backups
Plan for disaster recovery
Document architecture
Monitor costs

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

deployment is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository lacymorrow/paperclip-hub (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 635 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-10.
