vercel-deploy-workflow

vercel-deploy-workflow is a skill for Cursor from cam-douglas/agent-instructions. It costs 25 tokens per session (585 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for deploying a Next.js website to Vercel, a hosting service for web applications, using Git or the Vercel command line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Linking a repository to Vercel, pulling environment variables for local development, creating preview deployments, and intentionally sending a build to production.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to validate the project, synchronize environment settings, and choose between preview and production deployments.

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

vercel-deploy-workflow 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.

Skill: Vercel — deploy, Git sync, and local/CLI workflow

Purpose

  • Ship Next.js changes to Vercel and keep dashboard deployments aligned with repository state; use CLI or Git deliberately.

When to use

  • Deploying a Next.js project; verifying why production differs from local; setting up a new clone with Vercel linkage; pulling env for local development.

Inputs

  • Repo root path; Git remote with access; Vercel account and team; optional vercel login session.

Tools used

  • Git + Vercel Git integration (push → build), or Vercel CLI (vercel link, vercel, vercel --prod).
  • npm run build to validate before deploy.
  • npx vercel when global CLI is not installed.

Procedure

  1. Prefer Git workflow when the project is Git-connected: commit and push to the branch Vercel tracks; confirm the new deployment in the Vercel dashboard (commit SHA / branch).
  2. CLI preview deploy: from repo root, vercel login if needed, vercel link once, then vercel for a Preview deployment of the current tree.
  3. CLI production deploy: vercel --prod when intentionally deploying from CLI (ensure correct branch/commit and team).
  4. Env for local dev: vercel env pull .env.local after linking (user verifies secrets); align dashboard env with what the app expects (NEXT_PUBLIC_* only for client-exposed values).
  5. If Vercel MCP is available and authenticated: optional deploy_to_vercel / project queries; otherwise use dashboard + CLI.

Expected outcome

  • A deployment record in Vercel (Preview or Production) that matches the intended commit or local upload; app URL updated per Vercel’s URL rules.

Validation

  • Dashboard shows successful build; preview URL loads; for Git flow, deployment lists the expected commit.

Failure modes / cautions

  • Wrong team/project: run vercel whoami and re-vercel link.
  • Uncommitted files: CLI deploy can include working-tree changes — know what you ship.
  • MCP without auth: fall back to CLI.

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.
