The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

6# Vercel CLI Skill

8The Vercel CLI (vercel or vc) deploys, manages, and develops projects on the Vercel platform from the command line. Use vercel <command> --help for full flag details on any command.
9
10The installed CLI help is the source of truth for obscure or newly added flags. If a command example here is not enough, check vercel <command> --help before acting instead of guessing.
11
12Parse only stdout for URLs and JSON. Warnings, progress, and --help print to stderr; merge streams only when searching help text. Some help commands exit 2 after printing usage, so treat printed usage as a successful help read.
13
14In agent/non-interactive mode, many commands report errors and required confirmations as a single JSON object on stdout with status, reason, hint, and next (runnable follow-up commands). Prefer a suggested next command over composing a retry only after confirming that it preserves the user's intended target and authorization; do not automatically run linking, authentication, or mutation follow-ups. Read commands such as list, logs, inspect, and api keep their normal output shape.
15
16## Critical: Project Linking
17
18Project context depends on the command's working directory. Before a consequential read or mutation, run vercel project inspect --non-interactive from the intended directory and confirm the reported owner and project. This command resolves only existing context in non-interactive mode; stop on link_required or a target mismatch instead of linking automatically.
19
20Many project-aware commands also accept --project <name-or-id> with --scope <team> for an explicit, one-command target. Confirm that target and scope preserve the user's intent before using them.
21
22- **<cwd>/.vercel/project.json**: Created by vercel link. This exact working-directory link wins over a repository link. The CLI does not generally inherit a root project.json when run from an arbitrary subdirectory.
23- **<repo-root>/.vercel/repo.json**: Created by vercel link --repo. The CLI selects the deepest project directory that contains the working directory.
24- **Unmatched repository path**: If no repo mapping contains the working directory, interactive repo resolution prompts among the configured projects. Non-interactive repo resolution currently selects the only configured project or remains unresolved when multiple choices exist. Commands that set up projects may then enter a linking flow, so non-interactive mode is not generally fail-closed.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

28.6k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

28 files, 114.3 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 28 files you can review in full before installing.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Vercel CLI · 28.6k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/bossrifah-vercel-cli/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/vercel-cli" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/vercel-cli ] || { mv .claude/skills/vercel-cli "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/vercel-cli" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/vercel-cli"
On Windows, or any OS with Node 20+
npx mcprush@latest skill add bossrifah/vercel-cli

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/vercel-cli/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/bossrifah-vercel-cli/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/vercel-cli" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/vercel-cli ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/vercel-cli "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/vercel-cli" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/vercel-cli" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/vercel-cli/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
