What problem does it solve? Operating a Next.js app deployed to Vercel involves scattered knowledge: how to run it locally, how merges become live deploys, where logs land, how to cut a release, and how to roll back safely. This Skill consolidates that operational runbook into one place so you never guess at deploy mechanics or lose production data during a rollback. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Local run and build: Documents npm run dev behavior (including the expected 500s without env vars), the exact dummy-env one-liner for reproducing CI's npm run build locally, and npm start for production-mode serving. - Deploy and release runbook: Explains the Vercel auto-deploy model from main, CI as a status check, manual data migrations, the CHANGELOG → version bump → git tag → GitHub Release flow, and instant rollback via the Vercel dashboard. - Output and incident map: Tables showing where every kind of output lands (terminal, Vercel Logs, browser console, GitHub Actions, Sentry) plus warnings that Redis is shared production data unaffected by rollbacks. - Use Case: You merged a PR and the site broke in production. Use this Skill to find the runtime logs in Vercel, decide whether to roll back via Promote to Production, and remember that reverting an env var also requires a redeploy. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to walk you through deploying the latest main branch to production and verifying the deploy succeeded using this runbook.
