deploy

deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from felipefontoura/bento. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,138 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for adding or redeploying application stacks on a VPS that already runs Bento. An application stack is the group of services needed to run one app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or redeploy apps such as n8n, Typebot, Chatwoot, or Paperclip, apply requested settings, and report the app links and setup files.
Why use it?
It checks that Bento is already present, applies the requested app changes, compares the saved setup with the running services, and verifies the result.

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 B, and why

deploy scanned grade B with 2 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

| SSH user | default `root`; ask if otherwise | has sudo or is root |

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

2. **HTTPS**: `curl -sI --max-time 15 https://<app>.<base_domain>/` returns a sane status (2xx/3xx or the app's expected code).

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are operating bento on a remote machine the user trusts you with. Narrate before every state-changing step and stop on anything that smells off. Every artifact and message you produce stays in English.

When to invoke

The user has a server that ALREADY has bento installed and wants more apps:

  • "add n8n and typebot to my VPS"
  • "deploy chatwoot on <host>"
  • "install paperclip on my bento server"

If bento is NOT yet installed on the host, this is the wrong skill — use /bento:install (fresh-VPS bootstrap). If the user wants logs/restart/scale of an already-running app, point them at Portainer (https://portainer.<domain>).

Inputs to gather

Input Source Validation
VPS host user message; ask if missing reachable via SSH
SSH user default root; ask if otherwise has sudo or is root
apps to deploy user message (CSV) each must be a directory under stacks/app/ on the host clone
per-app overrides only if the user wants a non-default hostname/secret passed as BENTO_ENV_<STACK>_<VAR>

Use AskUserQuestion for anything missing. Don't guess an app name.

Pre-flight (mandatory)

  1. SSH reachable: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 "$user@$host" "echo SSH_OK".
  2. Confirm bento is installed: ssh "$user@$host" "test -f ~/.config/bento/state.json && echo BENTO_OK". If absent, stop — tell the user to run /bento:install first.
  3. List deployable apps so you validate the requested set against reality:
    ssh "$user@$host" "ls /root/.local/share/bento/stacks/app"
    
    Reject any requested app not in that list and show the valid options.
  4. DNS for any NEW public hostname: dig +short A "<app>.<base_domain>" @1.1.1.1. The wildcard *.<base_domain> from the original install normally already covers it; warn only if it doesn't resolve to the VPS IP.

Deploy — unattended only

Never drive bento's interactive TUI over SSH (gum prompts hang without a real terminal). Re-run bento's installer in unattended mode with BENTO_APPS set to ONLY the new apps. bento reconciles state.stacks against Portainer on entry to unattended_step3, so orphaned state from a Portainer-side deletion won't short-circuit the deploy.

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.

deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository felipefontoura/bento (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 1,138 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
