  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls vercel and python3; reaches vercel.com

What it does

Vercel is an agent skill from remotion-dev/remotion, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Set up a Codex monitor for Vercel deployments and preview URLs. Use when the user invokes /vercel or $vercel, asks Codex to watch or monitor a Vercel deployment, waits for a Vercel preview or PR preview to become ready, or wants to be notified with both the deployment URL and preview URL once Vercel is READY.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/check-deployment.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with Vercel and Remotion. The repository describes itself as: 🎥 Make videos programmatically with React.

When your agent uses it

  • The user invokes /vercel
  • Asks Codex to watch
  • Monitor a Vercel deployment
  • Waits for a Vercel preview

Example prompts

  • “/vercel”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. A Vercel deployment/dashboard URL supplied by the user.
  2. The Vercel – remotion check on the active GitHub PR. Its dashboard URL has
  3. The remotion row in the Vercel bot's PR comment.
  4. vercel list remotion --scope remotion --format=json, matched to the exact PR,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e4c5de. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • vercel
    • python3

    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:

    • 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

Vercel loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 470 words (~1,167 tokens).

“Monitor one immutable Vercel deployment for the remotion project and notify the current task when that exact deployment becomes ready or fails.”
