Vercel Deploy

Deploy any project to Vercel instantly. No authentication required.

How It Works

1. Packages your project into a tarball (excludes `node_modules` and `.git`) 2. Auto-detects framework from `package.json` 3. Uploads to deployment service 4. Returns **Preview URL** (live site) and **Claim URL** (transfer to your Vercel account)

Usage

bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh [path]

**Arguments:**

• `path` - Directory to deploy, or a `.tgz` file (defaults to current directory)

**Examples:**

# Deploy current directory
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh

# Deploy specific project
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project

# Deploy existing tarball
bash /mnt/skills/public/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh /path/to/project.tgz

Output

Preparing deployment...
Detected framework: nextjs
Creating deployment package...
Deploying...
✓ Deployment successful!

Preview URL: https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app
Claim URL:   https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...

The script also outputs JSON to stdout for programmatic use:

{
  "previewUrl": "https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app",
  "claimUrl": "https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...",
  "deploymentId": "dpl_...",
  "projectId": "prj_..."
}

Framework Detection

The script auto-detects frameworks from `package.json`. Supported frameworks include:

• **React**: Next.js, Gatsby, Create React App, Remix, React Router
• **Vue**: Nuxt, Vitepress, Vuepress, Gridsome
• **Svelte**: SvelteKit, Svelte, Sapper
• **Other Frontend**: Astro, Solid Start, Angular, Ember, Preact, Docusaurus
• **Backend**: Express, Hono, Fastify, NestJS, Elysia, h3, Nitro
• **Build Tools**: Vite, Parcel
• **And more**: Blitz, Hydrogen, RedwoodJS, Storybook, Sanity, etc.

For static HTML projects (no `package.json`), framework is set to `null`.

Static HTML Projects

For projects without a `package.json`:

• If there's a single `.html` file not named `index.html`, it gets renamed automatically
• This ensures the page is served at the root URL (`/`)

Present Results to User

Always show both URLs:

✓ Deployment successful!

- [Preview URL](https://skill-deploy-abc123.vercel.app)
- [Claim URL](https://vercel.com/claim-deployment?code=...)

View your site at the Preview URL.
To transfer this deployment to your Vercel account, visit the Claim URL.

Troubleshooting

Network Restriction Error

If deployment fails due to network restrictions (common on claude.ai), tell the user:

Deployment failed due to network restrictions. To fix this:

1. Go to https://claude.ai/settings/capabilities
2. Add *.vercel.com to the allowed domains
3. Try deploying again
