SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires vercel.

What problem does it solve? Deploying to Vercel from CI pipelines, agents, or headless environments is blocked by the interactive vercel login flow. This Skill enables full Vercel project management using access tokens, so deployments, environment variables, and domains can be managed without any interactive login. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Token-Based Authentication: Locate VERCEL_TOKEN from the environment or .env files and export it so the CLI reads it natively, avoiding insecure --token flags. - Preview and Production Deploys: Deploy via vercel deploy, git push triggers, or repo linking, defaulting to preview unless production is explicitly requested. - Project Management: Manage environment variables, inspect deployments and build logs, and configure domains with team-scoped commands. - Use Case: An AI agent in a sandboxed environment needs to deploy a Next.js app. It finds VERCEL_TOKEN in .env, exports it, links the project with vercel link --repo --scope my-team -y, and runs a preview deploy without any prompts. ## Quick Start Deploy my project to Vercel as a preview using the token in my .env file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy to Vercel without interactive login?

Export a Vercel access token as the VERCEL_TOKEN environment variable and the CLI reads it natively. Then run vercel deploy with your team scope, for example vercel deploy --scope my-team -y --no-wait.

How do I add environment variables to a Vercel project from the CLI?

Pipe the value into vercel env add, for example echo "value" | vercel env add VAR_NAME production --scope my-team. You can list variables with vercel env ls and pull them locally with vercel env pull.

Should I pass the Vercel token with the --token flag?

No. Passing tokens via --token exposes them in shell history and process listings. Export VERCEL_TOKEN as an environment variable instead and let the CLI read it automatically.

Why does vercel deploy fail with an authentication error?

The token may be expired or invalid. Verify it with vercel whoami, which uses VERCEL_TOKEN from the environment, and ask for a fresh token from vercel.com/account/tokens if verification fails.

Can I deploy to Vercel without linking the project first?

Yes, if both VERCEL_ORG_ID and VERCEL_PROJECT_ID are set in the environment, the CLI targets the project directly without a .vercel directory. Both variables must be set together or an error occurs.
