Vercel

Deploy applications and manage projects with complete CLI reference. Commands for deployments, projects, domains, environment variables, and live documentation access.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only Vercel CLI reference whose required resources (vercel, curl) and instructions match its stated purpose; nothing requested appears disproportionate or unrelated.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description promise (Vercel CLI reference and deployment management) aligns with the declared requirements: the vercel binary is required and curl is used for fetching docs. There are no unrelated binaries, environment variables, or config paths requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md stays within the Vercel CLI domain: it documents commands for deploys, projects, domains, env vars, logs, and uses curl to fetch docs. It includes examples that manipulate environment variables (e.g., `vercel env pull .env.local`) and mentions auth token flags (`-t, --token`) — these are legitimate for Vercel usage but mean the agent running the commands could read or write sensitive data (account tokens, pulled .env files).

Install Mechanism

No install spec is present (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself. This is the lowest-risk model for an integration that simply documents CLI usage.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, which is proportional. However, the documented commands rely on Vercel authentication (login or tokens stored in CLI config or passed with -t) and can pull/write environment secrets to disk with `vercel env pull`. Users should be aware the agent's environment or existing vercel auth state will be used if available.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default model invocation are set. The skill does not request permanent/always-on inclusion and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide config; its privilege level is appropriate for its purpose.

Assessment

This is a documentation-only skill for the official Vercel CLI and appears coherent. Before installing: (1) ensure the vercel binary on your system is the official CLI (not a malicious replacement), (2) be careful when invoking commands that manage or pull environment variables—`vercel env pull` will write secrets to disk—and avoid running those commands in environments you don't trust, (3) remember the CLI will use any existing Vercel auth (stored tokens or config); if an agent has access to those tokens it could perform actions on your Vercel account, and (4) some examples pipe to jq or other tools not listed as required; those are optional examples and not installed by this skill. If you want tighter control, restrict autonomous invocation or run Vercel commands manually instead of allowing the agent to run them.

CLI Commands

Deployment

vercel / vercel deploy [path]

Deploy the current directory or specified path.

Options:

• --prod - Deploy to production
• -e KEY=VALUE - Set runtime environment variables
• -b KEY=VALUE - Set build-time environment variables
• --prebuilt - Deploy prebuilt output (use with vercel build)
• --force - Force new deployment even if unchanged
• --no-wait - Don't wait for deployment to finish
• -y, --yes - Skip prompts, use defaults

Examples:

vercel                          # deploy current directory
vercel --prod                   # deploy to production
vercel /path/to/project         # deploy specific path
vercel -e NODE_ENV=production   # with env var
vercel build && vercel --prebuilt  # prebuilt deploy

vercel build

Build the project locally into ./vercel/output.

vercel build

vercel dev [dir]

Start local development server.

Options:

• -l, --listen <URI> - Port/address (default: 0.0.0.0:3000)

Examples:

vercel dev                  # start on port 3000
vercel dev --listen 8080    # start on port 8080

Project Management

vercel link [path]

Link local directory to a Vercel project.

Options:

• -p, --project <NAME> - Specify project name
• -y, --yes - Skip prompts

Examples:

vercel link
vercel link --yes
vercel link -p my-project

vercel projects

Manage projects.

vercel projects list              # list all projects
