What it does
Sher Deploy is an agent skill from sherdotsh/sher. Deploy frontend projects to instant preview URLs using sher. After building a project, run sher link to get a live, shareable URL in seconds.
Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Frontend & Design. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- Frontend & Design work in your project
Example prompts
- “/sher-deploy”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- No build script — the project needs a build script in package.json, or use --dir to point to pre-built output
- Build error — fix the build error first, then retry
- Size limit — the upload is too large (10MB anonymous, 50MB authenticated, 100MB Pro)
- No output directory — ensure the build produces dist/, build/, or out/, or specify --dir
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 258f991. 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:
npmnpx
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:
a8xk2m1p.sher.sh
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
Sher Deploy loads about 714 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

sher — deploy to a live preview URL
sher is a CLI that builds your frontend project, uploads it, and returns a live preview URL. One command. No accounts. No config.
Use it after you've built or scaffolded a frontend project and the user wants to see it live.
Install
Global (recommended for agents):
npm i -g shershOr one-off with npx:
npx shersh linkDeploy
From the project root:
sher linkThat's it. sher auto-detects the framework, runs the build, uploads the output, and returns a URL.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--dir <path> | Upload a specific directory (skips framework detection) |
--ttl <hours> | Set link expiry in hours (default: 24) |
--no-build | Skip the build step (use if already built) |
--pass [password] | Password-protect the preview (Pro only) |
Examples
# Standard deploy
sher link
# Deploy a pre-built project
sher link --no-build
# Deploy a specific output directory
sher link --dir ./dist
# Short-lived link (2 hours)
sher link --ttl 2Parsing the output
The CLI prints the live URL to stdout in this format:
https://a8xk2m1p.sher.sh (copied)
expires 2/19/2026, 11:00 AMThe URL always matches the pattern https://[a-z0-9]{8}.sher.sh. Extract it with:
https://[a-z0-9]{8}\.sher\.shThe URL is also automatically copied to the clipboard.
After deploying
Present the URL to the user:
Your preview is live at https://a8xk2m1p.sher.sh
If you set a --ttl, mention when it expires. If using --pass, share the password too.
Supported frameworks
sher auto-detects and builds:
- Vite — outputs to
dist/ - Next.js — auto-configures static export, outputs to
out/ - Astro — outputs to
dist/ - Create React App — outputs to
build/ - Any project with a build script that produces
dist/,build/, orout/ - Static HTML — no build needed, use
--dir .to upload directly
Agent-friendly by default
- No browser opens after deploy
- No interactive prompts
- No account required for basic usage (1 deploy, 10MB max, 6h TTL)
- Authenticated users get 25 deploys, 50MB, 24h TTL
- Exit code 0 on success, non-zero on failure
Troubleshooting
If sher link fails:
- No build script — the project needs a
buildscript inpackage.json, or use--dirto point to pre-built output - Build error — fix the build error first, then retry
- Size limit — the upload is too large (10MB anonymous, 50MB authenticated, 100MB Pro)
- No output directory — ensure the build produces
dist/,build/, orout/, or specify--dir
