vercel-deployment

vercel-deployment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from monkilabs/opencastle. It costs 37 tokens per session (757 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for deploying applications with Vercel, a hosting service for web projects. It covers deployments, environments, domains, environment variables, and build or runtime logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy projects, inspect deployment status, review build and runtime logs, manage projects and teams, configure environment variables, and check domain availability.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes caused by using the wrong environment, missing configuration, or debugging deployments without checking the relevant logs.

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-deployment 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (config.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Vercel Deployment

Vercel-specific deployment patterns and MCP tool usage. For project-specific deployment architecture, environment variables, and key files, see deployment-config.md.

Deployment Model

Branch → Environment mapping:

Branch pattern Environment
main Production deployment (auto)
feature/*, fix/* Preview deployment (auto)

MCP Tools

The Vercel MCP server provides these tools through https://mcp.vercel.com:

Tool Purpose
deploy_to_vercel Trigger a deployment
get_deployment Check deployment status and metadata
get_deployment_build_logs Read build output for debugging
get_runtime_logs Read runtime logs for debugging
list_deployments List recent deployments
get_project Get project configuration
list_projects List all projects in the team
list_teams List available teams
search_vercel_documentation Search Vercel docs
check_domain_availability_and_price Domain availability check

Environment Variables

Vercel Environment Scoping

Vercel supports three environment scopes — set variables for each appropriately:

Scope When Applied Use For
Production main branch deploys Live secrets, production API keys
Preview All non-production branches Staging/test API keys
Development vercel dev local server Local development overrides

Best Practices

Verify required env vars exist in production and preview scopes.

Build Troubleshooting

When builds fail, follow this workflow:

  1. Read build logs — use get_deployment_build_logs to get the full output
  2. Check common causes:
    • Missing environment variables
    • Node.js version mismatch (check engines in package.json)
    • Build command mismatch (verify in project settings)
    • Dependency resolution issues (lockfile out of sync)
  3. Check runtime logs — use get_runtime_logs for post-deploy errors
  4. Verify deployment status — use get_deployment to check state and error details

What ships with it

1 file 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.
