What is render-deploy?

A workflow for deploying applications to Render, a cloud hosting platform, from a Git repository or a prebuilt Docker image. It can analyse the codebase, create Render configuration, and provide links to the Render Dashboard.

Use it to host an application on Render, create a render.yaml Blueprint, configure services or databases, or set up deployment. It supports Git-backed deployment and describes the limitations of image-backed services.

It clarifies the available deployment path and exposes requirements such as needing a Git remote for Blueprint-based deployment. This reduces setup errors when publishing an application.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code --skill render-deploy

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install render, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 21 skills, 2 commands, 1 agent, 1 hook, 1 MCP server.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.03540
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.01416

Security

Grade A, and why

render-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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 347 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:

Blueprint Method - Generate render.yaml for Infrastructure-as-Code deployments
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).

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 only to fill missing information. Do not ask the user to repeat details they already supplied. If the source and required resources are clear, proceed directly to method selection and deployment.

Ask whether they want to deploy from a Git repo or a prebuilt Docker image.
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
