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
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 buildlocally before deploying to catch build errors early - Use
--cwdinstead ofcdto keep your working directory stable - For Next.js projects,
vercel deployauto-detects the framework — no extra config needed - Use
vercel.jsononly when you need custom build settings, rewrites, or headers
