A procedure for checking that DeerFlow works end to end after an update. It covers installing or updating the code, starting the services locally or in Docker, and checking that they respond.

Use it to run a full smoke test, choose between local and Docker deployment, verify service availability, perform a health check, and record the result.

It reduces uncertainty about whether the application is deployed correctly and whether its services and health endpoint are available.

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	$0.00000	$0.02239
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.01120

Security

Grade A, and why

smoke-test 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/check_docker.sh, scripts/check_local_env.sh, scripts/deploy_docker.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

DeerFlow Smoke Test Skill

This skill guides the Agent through DeerFlow's full end-to-end smoke test workflow, including code updates, deployment (supporting both Docker and local installation modes), service availability verification, and health checks.

Deployment Mode Selection

This skill supports two deployment modes:

Local installation mode (recommended, especially when network issues occur) - Run all services directly on the local machine
Docker mode - Run all services inside Docker containers

Selection strategy:

If the user explicitly asks for Docker mode, use Docker
If network issues occur (such as slow image pulls), automatically switch to local mode
Default to local mode whenever possible

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

Phase 1: Code Update Check

Confirm current directory - Verify that the current working directory is the DeerFlow project root
Check Git status - See whether there are uncommitted changes
Pull the latest code - Use git pull origin main to get the latest updates
Confirm code update - Verify that the latest code was pulled successfully

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.

smoke-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository bytedance/deer-flow (81,129 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,239 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 2026-08-30.
