At a glance

Gives NanoClaw agents the ability to deploy web apps to Vercel by installing the Vercel CLI in agent containers and wiring up credential injection through OneCLI.

  • Works in 6 steps: Pre-flight → Install Container Skill → Configure Credentials → …
  • Letting NanoClaw agents deploy web apps to Vercel
  • SKILL.md covers Phase 1: Pre-flight, Phase 2: Install Container Skill, Phase 3: Configure Credentials and Phase 4: Ensure Vercel CLI in…, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs TypeScript scripts from its folder; calls jq, vercel and rsync

What it does

The setup runs in phases. A pre-flight step checks whether the Vercel container skill is already installed and whether OneCLI works, and tells you to run /init-onecli first if it does not. The next phase copies the bundled container skill into the container skills directory and checks it.

The credential phase looks in OneCLI for an existing Vercel secret, then asks you to create a Vercel personal access token and paste it, which the agent stores as a generic OneCLI secret. Because OneCLI uses selective secret mode, the secret must be assigned to each agent explicitly. The folder also holds a REMOVE.md for undoing the change, and the excerpt stops before the later phases.

When your agent uses it

  • Letting NanoClaw agents deploy web apps to Vercel
  • Adding Vercel CLI access to agent containers
  • Configuring credential injection for api.vercel.com

Example prompts

  • “Add Vercel deployment to my NanoClaw agents.”
  • “Set up Vercel for our NanoClaw containers and walk me through the token step.”
  • “Check whether the Vercel container skill is already installed.”

Requirements

  • A NanoClaw installation with agent containers
  • OneCLI installed and working
  • A Vercel personal access token

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pre-flight
  2. Install Container Skill
  3. Configure Credentials
  4. Ensure Vercel CLI in Container Image
  5. Sync Skills to Running Agent Groups
  6. Restart Running Containers

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 66f0823. 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

    Ships script files (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • vercel
    • rsync
    • pnpm
    • docker

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • vercel.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Add Vercel to NanoClaw loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 598 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

description
Add Vercel deployment capability to NanoClaw agents. Installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers and sets up OneCLI credential injection for api.vercel.com. Use when the user wants agents to deploy web applications to Vercel.

Add Vercel

This skill gives NanoClaw agents the ability to deploy web applications to Vercel. It installs the Vercel CLI in agent containers and configures OneCLI to inject Vercel credentials automatically.

Principle: Do the work — don't tell the user to do it. Only ask for their input when it genuinely requires manual action (pasting a token).

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Check if the container skill exists:

bash
test -d container/skills/vercel-cli && echo "INSTALLED" || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"

If INSTALLED, skip to Phase 3 (Configure Credentials).

Check prerequisites

Verify OneCLI is working (required for credential injection):

bash
onecli version 2>/dev/null && echo "ONECLI_OK" || echo "ONECLI_MISSING"

If ONECLI_MISSING, tell the user to run /init-onecli first, then retry /add-vercel. Stop here.

Phase 2: Install Container Skill

Copy the bundled container skill into the container skills directory:

bash
rsync -a .claude/skills/add-vercel/container-skills/ container/skills/

Verify:

bash
head -5 container/skills/vercel-cli/SKILL.md

Phase 3: Configure Credentials

Check if Vercel credential already exists
bash
onecli secrets list 2>/dev/null | grep -i vercel

If a Vercel credential already exists, skip to Phase 4.

Set up Vercel API credential

The agent needs a Vercel personal access token. Tell the user:

I need your Vercel personal access token. Go to https://vercel.com/account/tokens and create one with these settings:

  • Token name: nanoclaw (or any name you'll recognize)
  • Scope: "Full Account" — the agent needs to create projects, deploy, and manage domains
  • Expiration: "No expiration" recommended (avoids credential rotation), or pick a date if your security policy requires it

After creating the token, copy it — you'll only see it once.

Once the user provides the token, add it to OneCLI:

bash
onecli secrets create \
  --name "Vercel API Token" \
  --type generic \
  --value "<TOKEN>" \
  --host-pattern "api.vercel.com" \
  --header-name "Authorization" \
  --value-format "Bearer {value}"

Verify:

bash
onecli secrets list | grep -i vercel
Assign the secret to all agents

OneCLI uses selective secret mode — secrets must be explicitly assigned to each agent. Get the Vercel secret ID from the output above, then assign it to every agent:

bash
# set-secrets replaces the entire list — read and merge for each agent.
VERCEL_SECRET_ID=$(onecli secrets list | jq -r '.data[] | select(.name | test("(?i)vercel")) | .id' | head -1)
for agent in $(onecli agents list | jq -r '.data[].id'); do
  CURRENT=$(onecli agents secrets --id "$agent" | jq -r '[.data[]] | join(",")')
  MERGED=$(printf '%s' "$CURRENT,$VERCEL_SECRET_ID" | tr ',' '\n' | sort -u | paste -sd ',' -)
  onecli agents set-secrets --id "$agent" --secret-ids "$MERGED"
done

Phase 4: Ensure Vercel CLI in Container Image

The Vercel CLI is not in the agent image by default — this skill is what adds it. It goes in container/cli-tools.json as a json-merge rather than a Dockerfile edit, which is what keeps the change deterministic and removable.

bash
grep -q '"vercel"' container/cli-tools.json && echo "PRESENT" || echo "MISSING"

If MISSING, append the entry, keeping an exact pinned version — the manifest rejects ranges, so the supply-chain policy still applies:

json
{ "name": "vercel", "version": "52.2.1" }

Then apply it:

bash
./container/build.sh

On an install that builds its own image, that rebuilds it. On one that fetches a published image, the same command adds Vercel as a single layer on top of the image already there, so the publisher's patched components underneath are kept — you are adding a tool, not replacing the runtime. The command says what that does and does not cover.

If PRESENT, the CLI is already in the manifest — skip the rebuild.

Phase 4b: Copy and Run the Dependency Guard

The Vercel CLI is a globally-installed binary — not importable or typed — so a structural test guards the install. Copy it into the host test tree and run it:

bash
cp .claude/skills/add-vercel/vercel-manifest.test.ts src/vercel-manifest.test.ts
pnpm exec vitest run src/vercel-manifest.test.ts

The test asserts both halves of the install: a pinned vercel entry in container/cli-tools.json, and the container skill at container/skills/vercel-cli/. Either alone is a broken install — a manifest entry with no skill leaves the agent a binary nobody told it about, and a skill with no entry tells it to run a command that is not there.

Phase 5: Sync Skills to Running Agent Groups

Container skills are copied once at group creation and not auto-synced. After installing or updating a container skill, sync it to all existing agent groups:

bash
for session_dir in data/v2-sessions/ag-*; do
  if [ -d "$session_dir/.claude-shared/skills" ]; then
    rsync -a container/skills/ "$session_dir/.claude-shared/skills/"
    echo "Synced skills to: $session_dir"
  fi
done

Phase 6: Restart Running Containers

Stop all running agent containers so they pick up the new skills on next wake:

bash
docker ps --filter label=nanoclaw-session -q | xargs -r docker stop

Done

The agent can now deploy web applications to Vercel. Key commands:

  • vercel deploy --yes --prod --token placeholder — deploy to production
  • vercel ls --token placeholder — list deployments
  • vercel whoami --token placeholder — check auth

For the full command reference, the agent has the vercel-cli container skill loaded automatically.
