# Netlify Deployment Skill
Deploy web projects to Netlify using the Netlify CLI with intelligent detection of project configuration and deployment context.
## Overview
This skill automates Netlify deployments by:
- Verifying Netlify CLI authentication
- Detecting project configuration and framework
- Linking to existing sites or creating new ones
- Deploying to production or preview environments
## Prerequisites
- **Netlify CLI**: Installed via npx (no global install required)
- **Authentication**: Netlify account with active login session
- **Project**: Valid web project in current directory
- When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated`.
- The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.
## Authentication Pattern
The skill uses the **pre-authenticated Netlify CLI** approach:
1. Check authentication status with `npx netlify status`
2. If not authenticated, guide user through `npx netlify login`
3. Fail gracefully if authentication cannot be established
Authentication uses either:
- **Browser-based OAuth** (primary): `netlify login` opens browser for authentication
- **API Key** (alternative): Set `NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable
## Workflow
### 1. Verify Netlify CLI Authentication
Check if the user is logged into Netlify:
```bash
npx netlify status
```
**Expected output patterns**:
- ✅ Authenticated: Shows logged-in user email and site link status
- ❌ Not authenticated: "Not logged into any site" or authentication error
**If not authenticated**, guide the user:
```bash
npx netlify login
```
This opens a browser window for OAuth authentication. Wait for user to complete login, then verify with `netlify status` again.
**Alternative: API Key authentication**
If browser authentication isn't available, users can set:
```bash
export NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=your_token_here
```
Tokens can be generated at: https://app.netlify.com/user/applications#personal-access-tokens
### 2. Detect Site Link Status
From `netlify status` output, determine:
- **Linked**: Site already connected to Netlify (shows site name/URL)
- **Not linked**: Need to link or create site
### 3. Link to Existing Site or Create New
**If already linked** → Skip to step 4
**If not linked**, attempt to link by Git remote:
```bash
# Check if project is Git-based
git remote show origin
# If Git-based, extract remote URL
# Format: https://github.com/username/repo or git@github.com:username/repo.git
# Try to link by Git remote
npx netlify link --git-remote-url <REMOTE_URL>
```
**If link fails** (site doesn't exist on Netlify):
```bash
# Create new site interactively
npx netlify init
```
This guides user through:
1. Choosing team/account
2. Setting site name
3. Configuring build settings
4. Creating netlify.toml if needed
### 4. Verify Dependencies
Before deploying, ensure project dependencies are installed:
```bash
# For npm projects
npm install
# For other package managers, detect and use appropriate command
# yarn install, pnpm install, etc.
```
### 5. Deploy to Netlify
Choose deployment type based on context:
**Preview/Draft Deploy** (default for existing sites):
```bash
npx netlify deploy
```
This creates a deploy preview with a unique URL for testing.
**Production Deploy** (for new sites or explicit production deployments):
```bash
npx netlify deploy --prod
```
This deploys to the live production URL.
**Deployment process**:
1. CLI detects build settings (from netlify.toml or prompts user)
2. Builds the project locally
3. Uploads built assets to Netlify
4. Returns deployment URL
### 6. Report Results
After deployment, report to user:
- **Deploy URL**: Unique URL for this deployment
- **Site URL**: Production URL (if production deploy)
- **Deploy logs**: Link to Netlify dashboard for logs
- **Next steps**: Suggest `netlify open` to view site or dashboard
## Handling netlify.toml
If a `netlify.toml` file exists, the CLI uses it automatically. If not, the CLI will prompt for:
- **Build command**: e.g., `npm run build`, `next build`
- **Publish directory**: e.g., `dist`, `build`, `.next`
Common framework defaults:
- **Next.js**: build command `npm run build`, publish `.next`
- **React (Vite)**: build command `npm run build`, publish `dist`
- **Static HTML**: no build command, publish current directory
The skill should detect framework from `package.json` if possible and suggest appropriate settings.
## Example Full Workflow
```bash
# 1. Check authentication
npx netlify status
# If not authenticated:
npx netlify login
# 2. Link site (if needed)
# Try Git-based linking first
git remote show origin
npx netlify link --git-remote-url https://github.com/user/repo
# If no site exists, create new one:
npx netlify init
# 3. Install dependencies
npm install
# 4. Deploy (preview for testing)
npx netlify deploy
# 5. Deploy to production (when ready)
npx netlify deploy --prod
```
## Error Handling
Common issues and solutions:
**"Not logged in"**
→ Run `npx netlify login`
**"No site linked"**
→ Run `npx netlify link` or `npx netlify init`
**"Build failed"**
→ Check build command and publish directory in netlify.toml or CLI prompts
→ Verify dependencies are installed
→ Review build logs for specific errors
**"Publish directory not found"**
→ Verify build command ran successfully
→ Check publish directory path is correct
## Troubleshooting
### Escalated Network Access
If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated`). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.
Example guidance to the user:
```
The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Netlify. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?
```
## Environment Variables
For secrets and configuration:
1. Never commit secrets to Git
2. Set in Netlify dashboard: Site Settings → Environment Variables
3. Access in builds via `process.env.VARIABLE_NAME`
## Tips
- Use `netlify deploy` (no `--prod`) first to test before production
- Run `netlify open` to view site in Netlify dashboard
- Run `netlify logs` to view function logs (if using Netlify Functions)
- Use `netlify dev` for local development with Netlify Functions
