deploy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a safe, auditable deployment workflow for Vercel that prevents faulty releases by performing pre-flight checks, environment parity verification, build validation, and post-deploy health checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-flight checks: verify TypeScript compilation and code quality before deployment.
• Env parity & Git hygiene: compare local env vars with Vercel production vars and ensure a clean Git state.
• End-to-end deployment & health: deploy via Vercel CLI and validate main app and API health endpoints after deployment.
• Use Case: release a new feature to production after a successful code review and local validation, with automatic health checks to confirm stability.

Quick Start

1. Ensure you are on the correct feature branch with a clean working tree.
2. Run pre-flight checks (TypeScript compile and local validation) and resolve any issues.
3. Push to the remote and deploy using the Vercel CLI: npx vercel --prod.
4. Run post-deploy health checks by hitting the main app endpoint and API health endpoint to confirm a 200 status code.
