platform-vercel

name: platform-vercel description: Query Vercel deployments, projects, and build logs. Use when investigating Vercel deployment failures, runtime errors, or build issues. allowed-tools: Bash(python *)

Vercel Platform

Authentication

IMPORTANT: Credentials are injected automatically by a proxy layer. Do NOT check for VERCEL_TOKEN in environment variables -- it won't be visible to you. Just run the scripts directly; authentication is handled transparently.

Configuration environment variables you CAN check (non-secret):

• VERCEL_TEAM_ID - Vercel team ID (optional, for team-scoped requests)

Available Scripts

All scripts are in .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/

list_projects.py - List Vercel Projects

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_projects.py [--limit 20]

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_projects.py
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_projects.py --limit 50 --json

get_project.py - Get Project Details

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_project.py --project PROJECT_ID_OR_NAME

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_project.py --project my-webapp
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_project.py --project prj_abc123 --json

list_deployments.py - List Deployments

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_deployments.py [--project PROJECT] [--state STATE] [--target TARGET] [--limit 20]

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_deployments.py --project my-webapp
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_deployments.py --project my-webapp --state ERROR
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_deployments.py --project my-webapp --target production --limit 5

get_deployment.py - Get Deployment Details

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID_OR_URL

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment.py --deployment dpl_abc123
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment.py --deployment my-webapp-abc123.vercel.app --json

get_deployment_events.py - Get Build Logs / Deployment Events

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment_events.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID [--limit 50]

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment_events.py --deployment dpl_abc123
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment_events.py --deployment dpl_abc123 --limit 100 --json

create_deployment.py - Create a New Deployment

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/create_deployment.py --name PROJECT_NAME --repo OWNER/REPO --ref BRANCH_OR_SHA [--target preview]

# Examples:
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/create_deployment.py --name my-webapp --repo acme/my-webapp --ref main --target production
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/create_deployment.py --name my-webapp --repo acme/my-webapp --ref fix/login-bug

Investigation Workflow

Deployment Failure Investigation

1. list_deployments.py --project PROJECT --state ERROR
2. get_deployment.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID
3. get_deployment_events.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID
4. Correlate with recent commits via deployment's git metadata

Production Regression Investigation

1. list_deployments.py --project PROJECT --target production --limit 5
2. get_deployment.py --deployment LATEST_DEPLOYMENT_ID
3. Compare git SHAs between current and previous production deployment
4. get_deployment_events.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID (check build output)

Build Timeout / Slow Build Investigation

1. list_deployments.py --project PROJECT --limit 10
2. get_deployment_events.py --deployment DEPLOYMENT_ID --limit 200
3. Look for long gaps between event timestamps in the build log

Quick Commands Reference

Common Patterns

Check if a deployment is still building

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment.py --deployment dpl_abc123 --json
# Look at "state" field: BUILDING, READY, ERROR, CANCELED, QUEUED

Find the deployment for a specific commit

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/list_deployments.py --project my-webapp --json
# Search the JSON output for the commit SHA in meta.githubCommitSha

Get build errors from a failed deployment

python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment.py --deployment dpl_abc123
# Check errorCode and errorMessage fields
python .claude/skills/platform-vercel/scripts/get_deployment_events.py --deployment dpl_abc123
# Read the full build log for error details

Anti-Patterns

• Do NOT try to read VERCEL_TOKEN from the environment. The credential proxy injects it.
• Do NOT use curl to hit the Vercel API directly. Always use the scripts which handle auth and proxy routing.
• Do NOT poll deployment status in a tight loop. Check once, report the state, and let the user decide when to re-check.
• Do NOT create production deployments without explicit user confirmation. Default to preview target.
