render-deploy

render-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Haohao-end/openagent. It costs 49 tokens per session (4,000 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for Render, a cloud platform for hosting applications and related services. It can analyze a codebase and prepare a Render Blueprint, a configuration file describing the deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy, host, publish, or configure applications, databases, scheduled jobs, and other Render resources.
Why use it?
It turns deployment setup into a defined configuration and clarifies when a Git repository or another deployment path is needed.

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 D, and why

render-deploy scanned grade D with 3 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 4d 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.

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 480 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy to Render

Render supports Git-backed services and prebuilt Docker image services.

This skill covers Git-backed flows:

  1. Blueprint Method - Generate render.yaml for Infrastructure-as-Code deployments
  2. Direct Creation - Create services instantly via MCP tools

Blueprints can also run a prebuilt Docker image by using runtime: image, but the render.yaml still must live in a Git repo.

If there is no Git remote, stop and ask the user to either:

  • Create/push a Git remote (can be minimal if only the Blueprint is needed), or
  • Use the Render Dashboard/API to deploy a prebuilt Docker image (MCP cannot create image-backed services).

Prerequisites

  • When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.
  • The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when users want to:

  • Deploy an application to Render
  • Create a render.yaml Blueprint file
  • Set up Render deployment for their project
  • Host or publish their application on Render's cloud platform
  • Create databases, cron jobs, or other Render resources

Happy Path (New Users)

Use this short prompt sequence before deep analysis to reduce friction:

  1. Ask whether they want to deploy from a Git repo or a prebuilt Docker image.
  2. Ask whether Render should provision everything the app needs (based on what seems likely from the user's description) or only the app while they bring their own infra. If dependencies are unclear, ask a short follow-up to confirm whether they need a database, workers, cron, or other services.

Then proceed with the appropriate method below.

Choose Your Source Path

Git Repo Path: Required for both Blueprint and Direct Creation. The repo must be pushed to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

Prebuilt Docker Image Path: Supported by Render via image-backed services. This is not supported by MCP; use the Dashboard/API. Ask for:

  • Image URL (registry + tag)
  • Registry auth (if private)
  • Service type (web/worker) and port

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.

render-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository Haohao-end/openagent (805 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 4,000 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, reads mcp configuration, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
