Deployment Advisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daffy0208/ai-dev-standards. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing where and how to run an application, from simple hosting for small projects to larger production infrastructure. It covers services such as Vercel, Railway, AWS, Cloudflare Workers, and Docker.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a hosting platform, plan deployment, set up CI/CD—which automatically builds and releases code—and configure production environments.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using infrastructure that is too complex for the product while planning for growth and production needs.

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

Deployment Advisor 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 7d 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.

Deployment Advisor

Choose the right deployment strategy for your application scale and requirements.

Core Principle

Start simple, scale when needed. Don't over-engineer infrastructure for 10 users that won't arrive for months.

Deployment Tiers

Tier 1: MVP / Small Projects (<1,000 users)

Cost: $0-$20/month Time to Deploy: 5-15 minutes Best for: MVPs, prototypes, side projects, marketing sites

Recommended Platforms:

Vercel (Next.js, React, static sites):

  • Push to GitHub → auto deploy
  • Edge functions, image optimization
  • Free SSL, global CDN
  • $0 for hobby, $20/mo for team

Netlify (Static sites, Jamstack):

  • Similar to Vercel, better for non-Next.js
  • Form handling, split testing
  • Serverless functions

Railway (Full-stack, databases):

  • Deploys anything (Node, Python, Go, Rust)
  • Integrated PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB
  • $5/mo for 512MB RAM + usage

Cloudflare Pages (Static + Workers):

  • Free unlimited bandwidth
  • Edge functions (Workers)
  • Fastest CDN globally

Tier 2: Growing Products (1K-100K users)

Cost: $20-$500/month Time to Deploy: 1-4 hours Best for: Validated products, growing startups, paid customers

Recommended Platforms:

AWS Amplify (Full-stack web apps):

  • Managed hosting + backend
  • Authentication, APIs, databases
  • Auto-scaling, monitoring
  • $50-200/mo typical

Google Cloud Run (Containerized apps):

  • Pay only for actual usage
  • Scales to zero
  • Automatic HTTPS
  • $20-100/mo for small traffic

Fly.io (Distributed apps):

  • Global deployment (closer to users)
  • PostgreSQL, Redis included
  • Docker-based
  • $50-200/mo

Render (Simpler alternative to AWS):

  • Auto-deploy from Git
  • PostgreSQL, Redis, cron jobs
  • Free tier available
  • $50-150/mo for production

Tier 3: Scale / Enterprise (100K+ users)

Cost: $500-$5,000+/month Time to Deploy: 1-4 weeks Best for: High traffic, enterprise, compliance requirements

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
