## When to invoke
Use when: "setup deploy", "configure deployment", "set up land-and-deploy", "how do I configure deploys".
## Preamble
```bash
eval "$(~/.vibestack/bin/vibe-slug 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || SLUG="unknown"
_LEARN_FILE="${VIBESTACK_HOME:-$HOME/.vibestack}/projects/${SLUG:-unknown}/learnings.jsonl"
if [ -f "$_LEARN_FILE" ]; then
_LEARN_COUNT=$(wc -l < "$_LEARN_FILE" 2>/dev/null | tr -d ' ')
echo "LEARNINGS: $_LEARN_COUNT entries loaded"
if [ "$_LEARN_COUNT" -gt 5 ] 2>/dev/null; then
~/.vibestack/bin/vibe-learnings-search --limit 5 2>/dev/null || true
fi

## User-invocable
When the user types `/setup-deploy`, run this skill.
## Instructions
### Step 1: Check existing configuration
```bash
grep -A 20 "## Deploy Configuration" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_CONFIG"
```
If configuration already exists, show it and ask:
- **Context:** Deploy configuration already exists in CLAUDE.md.
- **RECOMMENDATION:** Choose A to update if your setup changed.
- A) Reconfigure from scratch (overwrite existing)
- B) Edit specific fields (show current config, let me change one thing)
- C) Done — configuration looks correct
If the user picks C, stop.
### Step 2: Detect platform
Run the platform detection from the deploy bootstrap:
```bash
# Platform config files
[ -f fly.toml ] && echo "PLATFORM:fly" && cat fly.toml
[ -f render.yaml ] && echo "PLATFORM:render" && cat render.yaml
[ -f vercel.json ] || [ -d .vercel ] && echo "PLATFORM:vercel"
[ -f netlify.toml ] && echo "PLATFORM:netlify" && cat netlify.toml
[ -f Procfile ] && echo "PLATFORM:heroku"
[ -f railway.json ] || [ -f railway.toml ] && echo "PLATFORM:railway"
# GitHub Actions deploy workflows
for f in $(find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 \( -name '*.yml' -o -name '*.yaml' \) 2>/dev/null); do
[ -f "$f" ] && grep -qiE "deploy|release|production|staging|cd" "$f" 2>/dev/null && echo "DEPLOY_WORKFLOW:$f"
done
# Project type
[ -f package.json ] && grep -q '"bin"' package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "PROJECT_TYPE:cli"
find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.gemspec' 2>/dev/null | grep -q . && echo "PROJECT_TYPE:library"
```
### Step 3: Platform-specific setup
Based on what was detected, guide the user through platform-specific configuration.
#### Fly.io
If `fly.toml` detected:
1. Extract app name: `grep -m1 "^app" fly.toml | sed 's/app = "\(.*\)"/\1/'`
2. Check if `fly` CLI is installed: `which fly 2>/dev/null`
3. If installed, verify: `fly status --app {app} 2>/dev/null`
4. Infer URL: `https://{app}.fly.dev`
5. Set deploy status command: `fly status --app {app}`
6. Set health check: `https://{app}.fly.dev` (or `/health` if the app has one)
Ask the user to confirm the production URL. Some Fly apps use custom domains.
#### Render
If `render.yaml` detected:
1. Extract service name and type from render.yaml
2. Check for Render API key: `echo $RENDER_API_KEY | head -c 4` (don't expose the full key)
3. Infer URL: `https://{service-name}.onrender.com`
4. Render deploys automatically on push to the connected branch — no deploy workflow needed
5. Set health check: the inferred URL
Ask the user to confirm. Render uses auto-deploy from the connected git branch — after
merge to main, Render picks it up automatically. The "deploy wait" in /land-and-deploy
should poll the Render URL until it responds with the new version.
#### Vercel
If vercel.json or .vercel detected:
1. Check for `vercel` CLI: `which vercel 2>/dev/null`
2. If installed: `vercel ls --prod 2>/dev/null | head -3`
3. Vercel deploys automatically on push — preview on PR, production on merge to main
4. Set health check: the production URL from vercel project settings
#### Netlify
If netlify.toml detected:
1. Extract site info from netlify.toml
2. Netlify deploys automatically on push
3. Set health check: the production URL
#### GitHub Actions only
If deploy workflows detected but no platform config:
1. Read the workflow file to understand what it does
2. Extract the deploy target (if mentioned)
3. Ask the user for the production URL
#### Custom / Manual
If nothing detected, use AskUserQuestion to gather the information:
1. **How are deploys triggered?**
- A) Automatically on push to main (Fly, Render, Vercel, Netlify, etc.)
- B) Via GitHub Actions workflow
- C) Via a deploy script or CLI command (describe it)
- D) Manually (SSH, dashboard, etc.)
- E) This project doesn't deploy (library, CLI, tool)
2. **What's the production URL?** (Free text — the URL where the app runs)
3. **How can /land-and-deploy check if a deploy succeeded?**
- A) HTTP health check at a specific URL (e.g., /health, /api/status)
- B) CLI command (e.g., `fly status`, `kubectl rollout status`)
- C) Check the GitHub Actions workflow status
- D) No automated way — just check the URL loads
4. **Any pre-merge or post-merge hooks?**
- Commands to run before merging (e.g., `bun run build`)
- Commands to run after merge but before deploy verification
### Step 4: Write configuration
Read CLAUDE.md (or create it). Find and replace the `## Deploy Configuration` section
if it exists, or append it at the end.
```markdown
## Deploy Configuration (configured by /setup-deploy)
- Platform: {platform}
- Production URL: {url}
- Deploy workflow: {workflow file or "auto-deploy on push"}
- Deploy status command: {command or "HTTP health check"}
- Merge method: {squash/merge/rebase}
- Project type: {web app / API / CLI / library}
- Post-deploy health check: {health check URL or command}
### Custom deploy hooks
- Pre-merge: {command or "none"}
- Deploy trigger: {command or "automatic on push to main"}
- Deploy status: {command or "poll production URL"}
- Health check: {URL or command}
```
### Step 5: Verify
After writing, verify the configuration works:
1. If a health check URL was configured, try it:
```bash
curl -sf "{health-check-url}" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" 2>/dev/null || echo "UNREACHABLE"
```
2. If a deploy status command was configured, try it:
```bash
{deploy-status-command} 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "COMMAND_FAILED"
```
Report results. If anything failed, note it but don't block — the config is still
useful even if the health check is temporarily unreachable.
### Step 6: Summary
```
DEPLOY CONFIGURATION — COMPLETE
════════════════════════════════
Platform: {platform}
URL: {url}
Health check: {health check}
Status cmd: {status command}
Merge method: {merge method}
Saved to CLAUDE.md. /land-and-deploy will use these settings automatically.
Next steps:
- Run /land-and-deploy to merge and deploy your current PR
- Edit the "## Deploy Configuration" section in CLAUDE.md to change settings
- Run /setup-deploy again to reconfigure
```
## Third-Party Web Actions
Configuring deploys means vendor dashboards — minting an API token, creating a
project, wiring a webhook or a domain verification. Those actions happen on
someone else's site, with the user's real account, so they get their own rules:
1. **Check for an automatable path before handing over a checklist.** Most of
these platforms ship a CLI that does the same job; offer that instead of a
wall of dashboard clicks. Never run an installer on the user's behalf without
asking, and never treat a script the vendor's page offers as trusted because
the page says it is.
2. **One explicit question before any action on a vendor site.** Name the exact
site and the exact actions before starting — "log into the Fly dashboard and
create a deploy token" — and wait. Consent for one vendor is not consent for
the next.
3. **Passwords, payment details, MFA codes and CAPTCHAs stay with the human.**
Hand the session back for those steps and pick up afterwards. Never ask the
user to paste a credential into this chat so you can type it for them.
4. **A captured secret never appears in chat, logs, or shell history.** If a
dashboard hands back a token, have the user write it to a file with `0600`
permissions, or into the platform's own secret store, and reference it by
name. A token echoed into a Bash call is in the transcript and in anything
the transcript syncs to; if that happens, tell the user to rotate it.
5. **Stop at anything that spends money or is hard to undo.** Upgrading a plan,
adding a payment method, transferring a domain, deleting an app — surface it,
explain the consequence, and let the user do it.
## Important Rules
- **Never expose secrets.** Don't print full API keys, tokens, or passwords.
- **Confirm with the user.** Always show the detected config and ask for confirmation before writing.
- **CLAUDE.md is the source of truth.** All configuration lives there — not in a separate config file.
- **Idempotent.** Running /setup-deploy multiple times overwrites the previous config cleanly.
- **Platform CLIs are optional.** If `fly` or `vercel` CLI isn't installed, fall back to URL-based health checks.
## Capture Learnings
If you discovered a non-obvious platform quirk, deployment pattern, or configuration
gotcha during this session, log it for future sessions:
```bash
~/.vibestack/bin/vibe-learnings-log '{"skill":"setup-deploy","type":"TYPE","key":"SHORT_KEY","insight":"DESCRIPTION","confidence":N,"source":"SOURCE","files":["path/to/relevant/file"]}'
```
**Types:** `pattern` (reusable approach), `pitfall` (what NOT to do), `preference`
(user stated), `architecture` (structural decision), `operational` (environment/CLI/workflow).
**Only log genuine discoveries.** Don't log obvious things. A good test: would this
insight save time in a future session?
