### 导出副本边界与技能别名
迁移、安装、修复和经验回写只作用于当前加载的目标宿主技能副本。原 Codex 技能/MCP、下载的源码和 `original-skills` 均为来源材料,不因执行本副本而写入;只有用户另行明确要求配置 Codex 产品本身时,才按该产品流程处理指定目标。脚本需要安装目录或状态目录时,显式提供目标路径;不得从 `CODEX_HOME` 隐式推断写入位置。
跨技能名称可能沿用源库别名。先查 [技能别名表](../../skill-aliases.json),优先选择同来源、同插件的条目,再使用其 `id` 调用或读取对应入口;不得假定旧 `$skill`、`superpowers:skill` 名称在新宿主直接注册。不能确定目标时先核对,不替换真实产品命令或 Shell 环境变量。
## 跨宿主使用约定
本副本供支持 Agent Skills 的客户端使用。先检查当前宿主实际提供的工具、权限和已连接服务,再执行正文工作流。原文中的宿主工具标识是能力参考;只有实际发现该工具时才可调用,其他宿主应使用经核验的等价 MCP、CLI 或 API。没有等价能力的步骤必须报告不可用,不能虚构调用或完成状态。
技能资源以本技能目录为基准;输出写入当前项目中用户指定的位置。通过技能名称或自然语言触发,具体快捷命令由宿主决定。涉及真实产品、模型 API、协议字段和官方网址的名称保持原意。授权、审批、隐私和工具范围限制在迁移后仍然有效;不得为兼容而扩大权限。具体依赖与迁移说明见同目录 `PORTABILITY.md`。
# Vercel CLI Skill
The Vercel CLI (`vercel` or `vc`) deploys, manages, and develops projects on the Vercel platform from the command line. Use `vercel <command> -h` for full flag details on any command.
## Critical: Project Linking
Commands must be run from the directory containing the `.vercel` folder (or a subdirectory of it). How `.vercel` gets set up depends on your project structure:
- **`.vercel/project.json`**: Created by `vercel link`. Links a single project. Fine for single-project repos, and can work in monorepos if there's only one project.
- **`.vercel/repo.json`**: Created by `vercel link --repo`. Links a repo that may contain multiple projects. Always a good idea when any project has a non-root directory (e.g., `apps/web`).
Running from a project subdirectory (e.g., `apps/web/`) skips the "which project?" prompt since it's unambiguous.
**When something goes wrong, check how things are linked first** — look at what's in `.vercel/` and whether it's `project.json` or `repo.json`. Also verify you're on the right team with `vercel whoami` — linking while on the wrong team is a common mistake.
## Quick Start
```bash
npm i -g vercel
vercel login
vercel link # single project
# OR
vercel link --repo # monorepo
vercel pull
vercel dev # local development
vercel deploy # preview deployment
vercel --prod # production deployment
```
## Decision Tree
Use this to route to the correct reference file:
- **Deploy** → `references/deployment.md`
- **Local development** → `references/local-development.md`
- **Environment variables** → `references/environment-variables.md`
- **CI/CD automation** → `references/ci-automation.md`
- **Domains or DNS** → `references/domains-and-dns.md`
- **Projects or teams** → `references/projects-and-teams.md`
- **Logs, metrics, debugging, or accessing preview deploys** → `references/monitoring-and-debugging.md`
- **Blob storage** → `references/storage.md`
- **Integrations (databases, storage, etc.)** → `references/integrations.md`
- **Access a preview deployment** → use `vercel curl` (see `references/monitoring-and-debugging.md`)
- **CLI doesn't have a command for it** → use `vercel api` as a fallback (see `references/advanced.md`)
- **Node.js backends (Express, Hono, etc.)** → `references/node-backends.md`
- **Monorepos (Turborepo, Nx, workspaces)** → `references/monorepos.md`
- **Bun runtime** → `references/bun.md`
- **Feature flags** → `references/flags.md`
- **Advanced (API, webhooks)** → `references/advanced.md`
- **Global flags** → `references/global-options.md`
- **First-time setup** → `references/getting-started.md`
## Anti-Patterns
- **Wrong link type in monorepos with multiple projects**: `vercel link` creates `project.json`, which only tracks one project. Use `vercel link --repo` instead. When things break, check `.vercel/` first.
- **Letting commands auto-link in monorepos**: Many commands implicitly run `vercel link` if `.vercel/` doesn't exist. This creates `project.json`, which may be wrong. Run `vercel link` (or `--repo`) explicitly first.
- **Linking while on the wrong team**: Use `vercel whoami` to check, `vercel teams switch` to change.
- **Forgetting `--yes` in CI**: Required to skip interactive prompts.
- **Using `vercel deploy` after `vercel build` without `--prebuilt`**: The build output is ignored.
- **Hardcoding tokens in flags**: Use `VERCEL_TOKEN` env var instead of `--token`.
- **Disabling deployment protection**: Use `vercel curl` instead to access preview deploys.
