tell-proof: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/tell-deploy/SKILL.md

tell-deploy is a skill for Cursor from ashishpatill/tell-proof. It costs 51 tokens per session (349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Deployment instructions for making Tell available through Vercel or Docker-based hosts such as Render and Railway. Deployment means putting an application on a server so other people can open it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Vercel or Docker deployments, set production variables, keep secrets out of source code, and verify the public demo.
Why use it?
It reduces configuration mistakes around public URLs, environment variables, local storage limits, and offline fallback behavior.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is ashishpatill/tell-proof's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on tell-proof itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tell-proof configures →

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

tell-deploy 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 5d 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.

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.

What it actually says

Tell deployment

Paths

Path Best for
Vercel (apps/web/vercel.json) Fast public URL; UI + offline fixture
Docker (Dockerfile, render.yaml, railway.toml) Live Playwright URL capture

Pre-deploy checklist

  1. Push to public GitHub
  2. Set root directory correctly (tell/apps/web if monorepo nested)
  3. Add env vars in dashboard — never commit secrets
  4. Set TELL_DISABLE_REPO_SETUP=1 in production
  5. Verify offline fallback loads when capture unavailable

Env vars

Variable Purpose
GEMINI_API_KEY Richer taste/voice (optional)
CURSOR_API_KEY Cursor-SDK redesign drafts (optional)
TELL_DISABLE_REPO_SETUP Required in prod

Render constraints

  • Bind to 0.0.0.0:$PORT
  • Ephemeral filesystem — no persistent local writes
  • Linux paths are case-sensitive

Demo checklist

  • Public URL loads Tell Report
  • Fixture/offline report works without keys
  • MCP instructions in README for local Cursor demo
  • Record backup demo video
  • Rule: .cursor/rules/tell-deploy.mdc
  • Docs: docs/DEPLOY.md
Changes

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.
