Vercel

Deploy and manage Vercel projects via CLI - deploy, env, domains, logs, teams. Use when user mentions 'vercel', 'deploy', 'vercel project', or wants to inter...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only helper for the Vercel CLI and its requirements and instructions are consistent with that purpose, but it can perform sensitive actions (like pulling environment variables) that users should treat carefully.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description match the SKILL.md: it documents installing and using the Vercel CLI to deploy, manage env vars, domains, logs, teams, etc. Nothing declared in metadata (no unrelated env vars or config paths) contradicts the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to installing and running the Vercel CLI, using flags like --token, --cwd, --json and commands such as vercel env pull which will read and write environment variables. This is in-scope for a Vercel helper, but commands like `vercel env pull .env.local` or `--token` usage can expose secrets if misused.

Install Mechanism

No install spec executed by platform (instruction-only), but the SKILL.md recommends `npm i -g vercel`. Installing a global npm package is a common, expected step for a CLI helper but does have the usual supply-chain risks of npm packages.

Credentials

The skill does not request environment variables or other credentials in metadata. The documented workflow requires authenticating to Vercel (via `vercel login` or `--token`), which is appropriate for this functionality. Users should be aware that Vercel tokens and project env vars are sensitive.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and user-invocable:true (defaults) — normal for a CLI helper. The skill does not request elevated or persistent system-wide privileges and does not modify other skills' configs.

Assessment

This skill is a documentation-style helper for the official Vercel CLI and is internally consistent. Before using it: (1) be prepared to install a global npm package (npm i -g vercel); (2) authenticate with a Vercel token or interactive login — treat that token as sensitive and prefer least-privilege scopes; (3) avoid running env-pull or deploy commands in directories containing secrets unless you intend to write them to disk (vercel env pull will create .env.local with environment variables); (4) review any command the agent proposes to run (especially those using --yes or --token) to avoid accidental destructive or exfiltrating operations; and (5) confirm you trust the skill source before granting tokens or running installs.

Setup

npm i -g vercel

Verify installation:

vercel --version

Always use --json flag when calling commands programmatically.

Authentication

vercel login
