SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Getting a project live on the web usually requires configuring hosting, authentication, and build pipelines. This Skill deploys applications and websites to Vercel directly from your working directory, with or without a Vercel account. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI-Based Deployment: Uses the Vercel CLI to create preview deployments by default, with production deploys only on explicit request. - No-Auth Fallback Script: When the CLI is missing or unauthenticated, a bundled script packages the project, detects the framework from package.json, and deploys via a claimable endpoint. - Framework Detection: Automatically identifies over 40 frameworks including Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, and Express. - Use Case: You finish a static site or Next.js app and say "deploy my app and give me the link" — the Skill deploys it and returns a preview URL plus a claim URL to manage the deployment. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to deploy the current project to Vercel and share the preview link.

Frequently Asked Questions about vercel-deploy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy my app to Vercel without an account?▼

Use the fallback deploy script, which packages your project into a tarball and posts it to a claimable Vercel deploy endpoint. It returns a previewUrl for the live site and a claimUrl you can use to take ownership of the deployment later.

How to create a preview deployment with the Vercel CLI?▼

Run vercel deploy [path] -y with a generous timeout, since builds can take several minutes. This creates a preview deployment by default; production deploys require the explicit --prod flag.

Does the deploy script support frameworks like Next.js and Astro?▼

Yes, the script detects over 40 frameworks by inspecting dependencies in package.json, including Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, Gatsby, and Express. The detected framework is sent with the deployment so Vercel applies the correct build settings.

Why does my Vercel deployment fail with network errors?▼

Sandboxed environments can block outbound requests, causing timeouts, DNS errors, or connection resets during deploy. Rerun only the deploy command with escalated network permissions; the CLI installation check does not need escalation.

What files are excluded when packaging a project for deployment?▼

The packaging step excludes node_modules, .git, and .env files from the tarball. For static HTML projects without package.json, a single non-index HTML file is renamed to index.html so it serves correctly.
