deploy

name	deploy
description	Deploy the app to the internet and get a shareable link. Triggers on "$deploy", "deploy my app", "push this live", "put it on the internet", or any deployment request. Handles build verification, deployment to Vercel, and guides the user through sharing their creation.

$deploy — put it on the internet

pre-deploy

run the build first:

npm run build

if it fails, fix the errors (translate to plain language), rebuild, confirm it's clean.

tell the user: "putting your app on the internet — give me a sec." if it takes a moment: "still going — almost there."

deploy

run the deploy script:

bash .agents/skills/vercel-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh

this deploys without needing a vercel account. capture the preview URL from the output (looks like https://project-xxxxx.vercel.app).

share the link

"GradePilot is live. here's your link:" "[Preview URL]"

if the output includes a claimUrl, mention it once:

"that link works right now for anyone. if you want to keep it permanently, you can claim it at [claimUrl] with a free account — totally optional."

"want to update the live version? just say deploy again."

if it fails

don't panic. fix inline:

1. check for build errors and fix them
2. check dev server is running
3. retry the deploy

translate all errors to plain language. never show raw logs.

re-deploy

same flow: build check → deploy → share updated URL.

"want me to update the live version? just say deploy again."

rules

• always run npm run build before deploying
• never show raw build or deployment output
• keep it concise — share the link, mention claim URL if present
• the claim URL is optional — don't make it feel required
