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).

vercel-cli Deploy apps to Vercel. Use when asked to deploy, ship, or publish a web application, or manage Vercel projects, domains, and environment variables.

Vercel CLI

You can deploy web applications to Vercel using the vercel CLI.

Auth

Auth is handled by OneCLI — the HTTPS_PROXY injects the real token into API requests automatically. The Vercel CLI requires a token to be present to skip its local credential check, so always pass --token placeholder on every command. OneCLI replaces this with the real token at the proxy level.

Before any Vercel operation, verify auth:

vercel whoami --token placeholder

If this fails with an auth error, collect the credential:

trigger_credential_collection(
  name: "Vercel API Token",
  hostPattern: "api.vercel.com",
  headerName: "Authorization",
  valueFormat: "Bearer {value}",
  description: "Vercel personal access token. Create one at https://vercel.com/account/tokens"
)

Then retry vercel whoami.

Deploying

Always use --yes to skip interactive prompts and --token placeholder for auth (OneCLI replaces with real token).

# Deploy to production
vercel deploy --yes --prod --token placeholder

# Deploy from a specific directory
vercel deploy --yes --prod --token placeholder --cwd /path/to/project

# Preview deployment (not production)
vercel deploy --yes --token placeholder

After deploying, verify the live URL:

# Check deployment status
vercel inspect <deployment-url> --token placeholder

If you have agent-browser available, open the deployed URL and take a screenshot to visually verify.

Project Management

# Link to an existing Vercel project (non-interactive)
vercel link --yes --token placeholder

# List recent deployments
vercel ls --token placeholder

# List all projects
vercel project ls --token placeholder

Domains

# List domains
vercel domains ls --token placeholder

# Add a domain to the current project
vercel domains add example.com --token placeholder

Environment Variables

# Pull env vars from Vercel to local .env
vercel env pull --token placeholder

# Add an env var (use echo to pipe the value — avoids interactive prompt)
echo "value" | vercel env add VAR_NAME production --token placeholder

Common Errors

Error Fix
Error: No framework detected Ensure the project has a package.json with a build script, or set the framework in vercel.json
Error: Rate limited Wait and retry. Don't loop — report to user
Error: You have reached your project limit User needs to upgrade Vercel plan or delete unused projects
ENOTFOUND api.vercel.com Network issue. Check proxy connectivity
Auth error after vercel whoami Credential may be expired. Re-run trigger_credential_collection

Best Practices

  • Run npm run build locally before deploying to catch build errors early
  • Use --cwd instead of cd to keep your working directory stable
  • For Next.js projects, vercel deploy auto-detects the framework — no extra config needed
  • Use vercel.json only when you need custom build settings, rewrites, or headers
