FAQ

Common questions

What is the single best agent Skill for deploying a website?

For the common case — a Next.js app or a prototype you want live fast — vercel-deploy-claimable is the strongest pick: it is first-party, ships to a live URL from chat, and works in both Claude Code and Cursor. But "best" is host-specific. If you are not on Vercel, the right Skill is the one for your host.

Are these deploy Skills free?

Yes. All six are open-source (MIT or Apache-2.0). Hosting cost belongs to the host, not the Skill — GitHub Pages and the free tiers of Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and Firebase cover most small sites at no cost.

Which deploy Skills are first-party vs community?

First-party (published by the host): Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, and Firebase. Community: the GitHub Pages Skill and the multi-host Astro Skill. We weight provenance in the composite score, but a well-maintained community Skill can still rank well — the GitHub Pages Skill is the canonical free-hosting pick.

Do I need a different Skill for each host?

Generally yes — each deploy Skill encodes one host's workflow. The exception is the Astro Skill, which deploys an Astro static build to Netlify, Vercel, Firebase, or GitHub Pages from a single Skill.

New to this? How to deploy a website with agent Skills walks the full workflow. Per-host: Vercel from chat with an AI agent, Netlify with an AI agent, Cloudflare Workers & Pages with an AI agent, GitHub Pages with an AI agent.
