What it does
Deploy applications and websites to Vercel. Use when the user requests deployment actions like "deploy my app", "deploy and give me the link", "push this live", or "create a preview deployment".
This entry summarizes the public skill for discovery. Prefer the upstream SKILL.md for the full instruction text (we do not paste restricted or lengthy proprietary prompt bodies).
Install & usage
Codex
Inside Codex, use the skill installer (repo is deprecated as a catalog but curated skills remain usable):
$skill-installer vercel-deploy
Or copy from GitHub:
mkdir -p .codex/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openai/skills.git /tmp/openai-skills
cp -R /tmp/openai-skills/skills/.curated/vercel-deploy .codex/skills/vercel-deploy
Restart Codex after install so it discovers the skill.
Best for
Preview/production deploys to Vercel from an agent session.
