deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for making a new software version available to users while keeping the previous version ready. It checks the new version’s health and provides a way to return to the earlier one if needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ship applications to a managed server or hosting platform, choose the deployment setup, preserve backups, run health checks, and roll back.
Why use it?
It limits downtime and makes failed releases recoverable without rebuilding the old version.

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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy

Trigger phrases: "deploy", "push to the server", "to the server", "onto the server", "build on the server", "install on the VPS", "ship it to the server", "go to production", "to production", "go live"

A deploy has a single idea, and it does not depend on where you are deploying: make the new version live in a way you can undo. Keep the previous version reachable until the new one has proved itself; if it fails the health gate, go back to the old one and nobody notices.

Two topologies implement that idea differently, and mixing them is where deploys go wrong. On a host you manage, "reversible" means the previous release still sits on disk and the swap is a pointer you can move back. On a platform that manages the host for you, "reversible" means the previous artefact is still addressable and you re-point the environment at it — you do not rebuild it. Phase 0 picks the branch; everything after follows.

Kit adaptation (local, .claude/): Default backend is .NET (Docker recommended). Deploy requires explicit approval (§4.4); a backup before every swap and a health gate after are mandatory. If .deploy.yml carries server credentials it goes into .gitignore. §4 Prohibitions apply.

Phase 0 — Which topology

Answer before anything else, because the rest of the skill forks here. Ask if it is not obvious; do not infer it from the language or the framework.

A · Self-managed host B · Managed platform
You have SSH to a machine you own or rent an API/CLI, and no shell on the box
A release is a directory on that host an immutable artefact (image digest, build id, bundle)
"Deploy" means put the files in place and restart promote an existing artefact to an environment
Rollback means move the pointer back to the previous directory re-point the environment at the previous artefact

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.

deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit (22 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,452 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
