This skill provides a ready-to-use workflow and documentation to deploy Vercel projects from GitHub Actions while working around Hobby-plan restrictions that tie deploys to the account owner. It automates generation of the workflow YAML (examples for Bun, npm, pnpm) and documents required secrets and manual steps (VERCEL_TOKEN, ORG/PROJECT IDs, DEPLOY_NAME/EMAIL). The action rewrites the git author in the disposable CI runner, runs vercel pull/build/deploy, and leaves repo history untouched.
Use this skill when a team wants teammates to trigger production or preview deploys from GitHub Actions without upgrading to Vercel Pro. Also useful when you need consistent CI-driven deploys, or want to centralise deploys via Actions instead of Vercel's Git integration. Not suitable if you cannot add required Vercel tokens or lack access to project/org IDs.
examples/) for Bun/npm/pnpm and a detailed README-style SKILL.md.npx vercel link to obtain org/project IDs, add GitHub secrets, and copy the appropriate workflow to .github/workflows/deploy.yml. Also covers preview deploy config, monorepo notes, and FAQ.Useful for CI/CD automation agents and developer assistants that can create workflow files or edit repos (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CI/CD scripts).
Generates GitHub Actions workflow YAML for deploying Vercel projects on the free Hobby plan by overriding the git commit author in CI. No bundled scripts to test. SKILL.md is well-structured with clear setup steps, FAQ, and package manager variants. Secrets are properly referenced via GitHub Actions secrets syntax. Referenced examples/ and templates/ directories are not bundled in the skill package.
Clean skill — no security red flags. The git author override technique is clearly documented as CI-only (disposable runner) and doesn't affect real repo history. Slight ToS concern with bypassing Vercel's paywall but not a technical security issue. No scripts present so audit is static-only.
