deploy

A guided procedure for deploying an agent to Pipecat Cloud, a hosted service for running Pipecat agents. It checks the command-line tool and login, then walks through deployment using configuration and environment files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /deploy to deploy an agent, optionally specifying the paths to its deployment configuration and secrets files.
Why use it?
It reduces the setup work involved in checking prerequisites, signing in, and deploying an agent.

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.

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 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to deploy — 35 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy an agent to Pipecat Cloud. This skill walks through the full deployment process interactively, confirming each step with the user.

Arguments

/deploy [--config <PATH>] [--env <PATH>]
  • --config (optional): Path to pcc-deploy.toml. Defaults to pcc-deploy.toml in the current directory.
  • --env (optional): Path to .env file for creating secrets. If not provided, the skill will look for a .env file in the same directory as the config file.

Examples:

  • /deploy
  • /deploy --config examples/mybot/pcc-deploy.toml
  • /deploy --config examples/mybot/pcc-deploy.toml --env examples/mybot/.env

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify these prerequisites and inform the user about any that are missing:

  1. Pipecat Cloud CLI: Check if pc is installed by running pc --version. If not installed, tell the user to install it with uv tool install pipecat-ai-cli and stop.

  2. Pipecat Cloud authentication: Check if pc cloud auth whoami succeeds. If not authenticated, run pc cloud auth login --headless as a background task, then read the output file to extract the URL and six-digit code. Share both with the user so they can authenticate in their browser. Wait for the background task to complete before proceeding.

  3. Configuration file: Read the pcc-deploy.toml file (from --config argument or current directory). If it doesn't exist, tell the user they need a pcc-deploy.toml and stop. Parse and display the configuration to the user (agent_name, image, secret_set, etc.).

If any prerequisite fails, stop and clearly explain what needs to be fixed. Do not proceed to the next steps.

Deployment Method

After prerequisites pass, ask the user how they want to deploy using AskUserQuestion:

  • Cloud Build (Recommended): Pipecat Cloud builds your Docker image from source. No local Docker required.
  • Self-managed image: Build and push your own Docker image from your machine, then deploy.

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.
