deploy-to-vercel

deploy-to-vercel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrhinkle/VibeCoding-a-Website. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,948 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for publishing a website through GitHub and Vercel. GitHub stores the site's code, while Vercel builds and hosts it online, including automatic updates after code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a project, send it to GitHub, connect it to Vercel, add environment variables, configure a custom domain, redeploy changes, and run a pre-launch check.
Why use it?
Putting a site online involves several steps that can be unfamiliar if you have not used Git or command-line tools. This explains the path from local files to a live site and helps investigate deployment problems.

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

deploy-to-vercel 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 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.

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.

Skill: Deploy to Vercel

Purpose: Guide users through the complete GitHub → Vercel deployment pipeline to take their website live.

Audience: Business professionals who have built a website using Claude Code + Manus and are ready to deploy.

Use this skill when:

  • User is ready to deploy their website for the first time
  • User wants to understand the deployment process before going live
  • User needs to redeploy after making changes
  • User wants to set up a custom domain
  • User is troubleshooting deployment issues

Overview

Deploying to Vercel is the final step before your site goes live. This skill walks you through:

  1. Preparing your code - Initialize git, create proper .gitignore
  2. Publishing to GitHub - Create a repository and push your code
  3. Connecting to Vercel - Link GitHub and set up deployment
  4. Configuring your site - Add environment variables, set up domains
  5. Pre-launch checklist - Verify everything works before going live

No previous experience with Git or command-line tools required. We'll guide you through each step.

Live Website

Every time you push changes to GitHub, Vercel automatically rebuilds and redeploys your site. This means updates go live in seconds without any manual steps.


Step 1: Prepare Your Code

What is Git?

Git is a tool that tracks changes to your files. Think of it like version control for documents — you can see what changed, who changed it, and revert to previous versions if needed.

Initialize a Git Repository

Open your terminal in your project directory and run:

git init

This creates a hidden .git folder that tracks all your files.

Create a .gitignore File

Some files shouldn't be uploaded to GitHub (passwords, API keys, node_modules, etc.). Create a .gitignore file in your project root with this content:

# Dependencies
node_modules/
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local

# OS files
.DS_Store
Thumbs.db

# IDE files
.vscode/
.idea/
*.swp

# Build output
dist/
build/
.next/

# Logs
npm-debug.log*
yarn-debug.log*

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
