Gabi Simons 8d60af71d3 feat(v2): add /add-vercel skill for agent Vercel deployments

Setup skill that installs Vercel CLI in agent containers and configures
OneCLI credential injection for api.vercel.com. Container skill bundled
in .claude/skills/add-vercel/container-skills/ and copied to
container/skills/ during setup. Also adds dashboard & web apps prompt
to /setup flow (step 5b).

add-vercel	Add Vercel deployment capability to NanoClaw agents. Installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers and sets up OneCLI credential injection for api.vercel.com. Use when the user wants agents to deploy web applications to Vercel.

Add Vercel

This skill gives NanoClaw agents the ability to deploy web applications to Vercel. It installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers and configures OneCLI to inject Vercel credentials automatically.

Principle: Do the work — don't tell the user to do it. Only ask for their input when it genuinely requires manual action (pasting a token).

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if the container skill exists:

test -d container/skills/vercel-cli && echo "INSTALLED" || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"

If INSTALLED, skip to Phase 3 (Configure Credentials).

Check prerequisites

Verify OneCLI is working (required for credential injection):

onecli version 2>/dev/null && echo "ONECLI_OK" || echo "ONECLI_MISSING"

If ONECLI_MISSING, tell the user to run /init-onecli first, then retry /add-vercel. Stop here.

Phase 2: Install Container Skill

Copy the bundled container skill into the container skills directory:

cp -r .claude/skills/add-vercel/container-skills/* container/skills/

Verify:

head -5 container/skills/vercel-cli/SKILL.md

Phase 3: Configure Credentials

Check if Vercel credential already exists

onecli secrets list 2>/dev/null | grep -i vercel

If a Vercel credential already exists, skip to Phase 4.

Set up Vercel API credential

The agent needs a Vercel personal access token. Tell the user:

I need your Vercel personal access token. Go to https://vercel.com/account/tokens and create one with these settings:

Token name: nanoclaw (or any name you'll recognize)

Scope: "Full Account" — the agent needs to create projects, deploy, and manage domains

Expiration: "No expiration" recommended (avoids credential rotation), or pick a date if your security policy requires it

After creating the token, copy it — you'll only see it once.

Once the user provides the token, add it to OneCLI:

onecli secrets create \
  --name "Vercel API Token" \
  --type generic \
  --value "<TOKEN>" \
  --host-pattern "api.vercel.com" \
  --header-name "Authorization" \
  --value-format "Bearer {value}"

Verify:

onecli secrets list | grep -i vercel

Phase 4: Install Vercel CLI in Container

The Vercel CLI needs to be installed in the agent container image. The agent does this via the self-modification flow:

Agent calls install_packages(npm: ["vercel"], reason: "Vercel CLI for deploying web applications")
Admin approves the installation
Agent calls request_rebuild(reason: "Apply Vercel CLI installation")
Admin approves the rebuild

If you're setting this up from the host, tell the user to message their agent and ask it to install the Vercel CLI. The agent will use the vercel-cli container skill to guide itself.

Alternative for base image: If you want Vercel CLI available to ALL agent groups without per-group rebuilds, add it to container/Dockerfile:

RUN npm install -g vercel

Then rebuild the base image:

./container/build.sh

Phase 5: Verify

Test authentication

Have the agent run:

vercel whoami --token placeholder

This should print the Vercel account name. If it fails:

Check OneCLI is running: onecli version
Check the secret exists: onecli secrets list | grep -i vercel
Check the credential hostPattern matches api.vercel.com

Test deployment

Have the agent create and deploy a minimal test project:

mkdir -p /tmp/vercel-test && echo '<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>NanoClaw Vercel Test</h1></body></html>' > /tmp/vercel-test/index.html && vercel deploy --yes --prod --token placeholder --cwd /tmp/vercel-test

The output should include a live URL. Open it to verify the deployment worked.

Clean up the test project after verifying:

rm -rf /tmp/vercel-test

Done

The agent can now deploy web applications to Vercel. Key commands:

vercel deploy --yes --prod --token placeholder — deploy to production
vercel ls --token placeholder — list deployments
vercel whoami --token placeholder — check auth

For the full command reference, the agent has the vercel-cli container skill loaded automatically.
