perplexity-ai: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/server-deploy/SKILL.md

server-deploy is a skill for Codex from escapeWu/perplexity-ai. It costs 46 tokens per session (641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment workflow for updating the perplexity-ai application on its configured production server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy, publish, rebuild, restart, or roll out the project from GitHub main to the configured server.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of deploying uncommitted or mismatched code by checking the branch, pushed commit, remote checkout, build, container replacement, and health.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is escapeWu/perplexity-ai's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on perplexity-ai itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything perplexity-ai configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is 'cd /root/perplexity && ./deploy/compose.sh up'.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to escapeWu/perplexity-ai. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

server-deploy 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 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Server Deploy

Target

  • Local Git remote: origin
  • Branch: main
  • SSH host: oralce-chunchuan
  • Server directory: /root/perplexity
  • Remote Git remote: origin
  • Remote deployment entrypoint: ./deploy/compose.sh

Workflow

Perform the following sequence exactly.

  1. Confirm the local branch is main, review the intended diff, commit only the requested files, and push the exact commit.

    git push origin main
    
  2. Record the local commit and confirm origin/main resolves to the same SHA. Stop if the push or equality check fails.

    git rev-parse HEAD
    git ls-remote origin refs/heads/main
    
  3. Require a clean remote tracked worktree, fast-forward the server checkout, and verify that the remote commit equals the local commit. Substitute the recorded full SHA for <commit>.

    ssh oralce-chunchuan \
      "cd /root/perplexity && \
       test -z \"\$(git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no)\" && \
       git pull --ff-only origin main && \
       test \"\$(git rev-parse HEAD)\" = '<commit>'"
    
  4. Build the application image from that checked-out source on the server, replace the running container, wait for health, and verify the service.

    ssh oralce-chunchuan \
      'cd /root/perplexity && ./deploy/compose.sh up'
    
  5. Recheck health and status after deployment.

    ssh oralce-chunchuan \
      'cd /root/perplexity && \
       ./deploy/compose.sh verify && \
       ./deploy/compose.sh status && \
       docker inspect perplexity-mcp \
         --format "image={{.Image}} status={{.State.Status}} health={{.State.Health.Status}}"'
    

Invariants

  • Build the application from the server checkout. Do not pull, publish, or wait for a Docker Hub application image.
  • Preserve the server .env, token_pool_config.json, data/, and Docker volumes.
  • Stop when the remote tracked worktree is dirty; inspect and preserve changes instead of overwriting them.
  • Never force-push, run git reset or git clean, run docker compose down, or delete images or volumes.
  • Stop on a failed push, commit mismatch, build, health check, or status check.
  • Do not add authorship or attribution trailers unless the user explicitly requests them and provides the exact identity.

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.
