deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment pipeline that builds an application, checks its output, publishes it, waits for completion, and checks the live result.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run post-merge deployments from a CI/CD pipeline, with retries, time limits, deployment-status checks, and a basic live-site smoke test.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of deploying missing or broken build artifacts and catches basic problems after release.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/run-smoke.sh "$DEPLOY_URL".

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy

HARD GATE — Do not deploy without running tests first. Run test or your CI suite before this skill.

HARD GATE — Use this skill from a CI/CD pipeline or post-merge on main/master. Never deploy from a feature branch.

HARD GATE — The deploy skill orchestrates deployment; the smoke-test skill validates post-deploy health. Chain them: deploy → smoke-test.

Orchestrate a full build-to-deployment pipeline: build the artifact, verify it exists and is non-empty, invoke a platform deploy tool (MCP or CLI), poll until the deploy completes or times out, then run a baseline smoke test against the live URL.

Pipeline Stages

build → verify artifact → deploy → wait/retry → smoke
Stage Description Failure mode
Build Execute the project's build command Non-zero exit: report build error
Verify Check artifact exists and is non-empty Missing/empty: report artifact path
Deploy Invoke platform deploy tool (MCP, Vercel CLI, rsync, etc.) Non-zero exit: report deploy error
Wait Poll deploy status every 30s up to DEPLOY_TIMEOUT (default 5 min) Timeout: report exceeded
Smoke curl -sSf $DEPLOY_URL as baseline health check Non-200: report failure

Process

1. Detect build command

Read project manifest files in order to determine the build command:

Manifest Build command
package.json npm run build (or scripts.build value)
Cargo.toml cargo build --release
pyproject.toml / setup.py Depends on build backend (poetry build, pip install -e ., etc.)
Makefile make build or first target named build
AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md Look for build: in project commands section

If no manifest is found, prompt the user with: "No detected build command. Pass --build 'npm run build' or specify the command."

2. Build the artifact

npm run build

Or the detected command from step 1. If the build fails, exit non-zero and report the build output.

deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielvm-git/bigpowers (266 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,855 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
