vercel-deploy

A release procedure for putting a Next.js web app into production on Vercel, a service that hosts web applications. It covers preview testing, a staged release, sending it live, domains, DNS, and rollback instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy a completed Next.js app, promote a tested release, connect domains and DNS, and recover from a faulty deployment.
Why use it?
It organizes the checks and deployment stages needed to release an app safely, including a smoke test—a quick check that the main site functions—and a way to undo a release.

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

vercel-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 2d 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.

vercel-deploy — ship the web app to production on Vercel

The web counterpart of rn-eas-deploy. It is the only skill that moves a web project to phase = "deployed".

Versions checked 2026-08-04: Vercel CLI 58.5.1. Docs: https://vercel.com/docs/cli/deploy, https://vercel.com/docs/cli/deploying-from-cli, https://vercel.com/docs/cli/promote, https://vercel.com/docs/cli/rollback, https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/promoting-a-deployment, https://vercel.com/docs/instant-rollback, https://vercel.com/docs/git, https://vercel.com/docs/domains/working-with-domains/add-a-domain.

Scope — read this first

This skill ships. It does not configure.

Concern Owner
vercel.json, function region, env-var matrix per environment, monorepo Root Directory, project linking module-add deploy — run it first
husky, lint-staged, GitHub Actions module-add ci
cost/perf gate before shipping vercel-doctor
legal/privacy gate before shipping compliance-audit
UI-quality / accessibility gate before shipping shadscan
preview → smoke → staged production → promote, domains + DNS, rollback, phase = "deployed" this skill

If vercel.json or .vercel/project.json is missing, do not improvise them here — say so and route to module-add deploy. Two skills writing the same config is how the region silently changes between runs.

Contract

See references/contracts.md. Key facts:

  • Reads <project-root>/.workflow/meta.json#stack.framework — must be "next" or "monorepo".
  • Requires meta.json#phase >= "feature_complete".
  • Sets meta.json#stack.deploy = "vercel" and phase = "deployed" only after the production domain actually serves the deployment.
  • Records stack_config.production_url + stack_config.vercel_project and appends history.
  • Idempotent: re-running on an already-deployed project becomes a release run (deploy → promote), and skips domain setup that is already verified.

What ships with it

4 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.
