Netlify Deploy

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to deploy
• Link a site/repo on Netlify
• Including preview and production deploys

Example prompts

• “/netlify-deploy”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Verify Netlify CLI Authentication
2. 2Detect Site Link Status
3. 3Link to Existing Site or Create New
4. 4Verify Dependencies
5. 5Deploy to Netlify
6. 6Report Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npx
  • netlify
  • npm
  • git

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • github.com

  Also links to:

  • docs.netlify.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Netlify Deploy loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 696 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~52

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~5.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

npx netlify status

npx netlify login

export NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=your_token_here

# Check if project is Git-based
git remote show origin

# If Git-based, extract remote URL
# Format: https://github.com/username/repo or git@github.com:username/repo.git

# Try to link by Git remote
npx netlify link --git-remote-url <REMOTE_URL>

# Create new site interactively
npx netlify init

# For npm projects
npm install

# For other package managers, detect and use appropriate command
# yarn install, pnpm install, etc.

npx netlify deploy

npx netlify deploy --prod

# 1. Check authentication
npx netlify status

# If not authenticated:
npx netlify login

# 2. Link site (if needed)
# Try Git-based linking first
git remote show origin
npx netlify link --git-remote-url https://github.com/user/repo

# If no site exists, create new one:
npx netlify init

# 3. Install dependencies
npm install

# 4. Deploy (preview for testing)
npx netlify deploy

# 5. Deploy to production (when ready)
npx netlify deploy --prod

The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Netlify. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?
