What it does

Deploy is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Deploys with pre-flight checks and health verification. Triggers: deploy, deployment, ship, release, push to prod.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/pre_deploy_check.py` and `templates/deployment-checklist.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Professional-grade AI coding toolkit: 94 skills, 44 agents, multi-platform (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Cline, Roo Code, Aider, Augment, Antigravity, Codex CLI… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

“Use the deploy skill to deploy with pre-flight checks and health verification. An agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit”
“/deploy”

Requirements

Python 3
Docker
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

Validates deployment prerequisites
Runs pre-deployment checks
Executes deployment
Verifies deployment success

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d64db2b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
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:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Deploy loads about 743 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~743

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:60
```
- `env_file` - .env or .env.$ENV exists
```
NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash, Read
```

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.

Questions about Deploy

What does Deploy do?

Deploys with pre-flight checks and health verification. An agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Deploy is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Deploys with pre-flight checks and health verification.

When should I use Deploy?

Deploy fits situations like: tasks that involve Deployment.

How do I install Deploy in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill deploy -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/deploy in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .claude/skills/deploy in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Deploy in Codex?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill deploy -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/deploy in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .agents/skills/deploy in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Deploy in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill deploy -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deploy, .gemini/skills/deploy, .github/skills/deploy and .opencode/skills/deploy in your project.

What does Deploy need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Deploy needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.

Does Deploy access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Deploy safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file; pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Deploy use?

Deploy is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Deploy use?

About 743 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Deploy?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Deploy: GreptimeDB Dev Docker Image (GreptimeTeam/greptimedb, 6.7k stars), Senior DevOps Toolkit (maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit, 259 stars), LangBot Deployment Guide (langbot-app/LangBot, 18k stars) and Reflexo Release (Myriad-Dreamin/typst.ts, 1.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Deploy?

softspark (a GitHub user) maintains it in softspark/ai-toolkit, which has 179 GitHub stars. The repository holds 112 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
