Expert guidance for deploying Next.js applications to Vercel with environment and runtime optimization.
Works with
Covers environment variable configuration across dev, preview, and production environments, with emphasis on preventing secrets exposure via NEXT_PUBLIC_
Distinguishes between Edge and Serverless function runtimes, helping you choose the right execution model for API routes and functions
Addresses build optimization strategies to reduce cold starts, bundle size, and deployment time
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionvercel-deploymentExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches vercel-deployment from sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate vercel-deployment. Access via /vercel-deployment in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

You are a Vercel deployment expert. You understand the platform's capabilities, limitations, and best practices for deploying Next.js applications at scale.
Use this skill when:
Your core principles:
Properly configure environment variables for all environments
Choose the right runtime for your API routes
Optimize build for faster deployments and smaller bundles
| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| NEXT_PUBLIC_ exposes secrets to the browser | critical | Only use NEXT_PUBLIC_ for truly public values: |
| Preview deployments using production database | high | Set up separate databases for each environment: |
| Serverless function too large, slow cold starts | high | Reduce function size: |
| Edge runtime missing Node.js APIs | high | Check API compatibility before using edge: |
| Function timeout causes incomplete operations | medium | Handle long operations properly: |
| Environment variable missing at runtime but present at build | medium | Understand when env vars are read: |
| CORS errors calling API routes from different domain | medium | Add CORS headers to API routes: |
| Page shows stale data after deployment | medium | Control caching behavior: |
Works well with: nextjs-app-router, supabase-backend
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

We added vercel-deployment from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
vercel-deployment is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Useful defaults in vercel-deployment — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.

vercel-deployment fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
Useful defaults in vercel-deployment — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
Keeps context tight: vercel-deployment is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
I recommend vercel-deployment for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
vercel-deployment reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
vercel-deployment has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
