Appdeploy V2

AppDeploy Skill

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/appdeploy from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

AppDeploy Skill Deploy web apps to AppDeploy via HTTP API.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Available Tools, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Use when planning or building apps and web apps
• Use when deploying an app to a public URL
• Use when publishing a website or web app
• Use when the user says "deploy this", "make this live", or "give me a URL"
• Use when updating an already-deployed app
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Deploy web apps with backend APIs, database, and file storage. Use when the user asks to deploy or publish a website or web app and wants a public URL. Uses HTTP API via curl.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Check for existing API key:
2. Look for a .appdeploy file in the project root
3. If it exists and contains a valid api_key, skip to Usage
4. If no API key exists, register and get one:
5. Save credentials to .appdeploy:
6. First, get deployment instructions:
7. Get the app template:

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Setup (First Time Only)

1. Check for existing API key:

   • Look for a .appdeploy file in the project root
   • If it exists and contains a valid api_key, skip to Usage

2. If no API key exists, register and get one:

   curl -X POST https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp/api-key \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"client_name": "claude-code"}'
   

   Response:

   {
     "api_key": "ak_...",
     "user_id": "agent-claude-code-a1b2c3d4",
     "created_at": 1234567890,
     "message": "Save this key securely - it cannot be retrieved later"
   }
   

3. Save credentials to .appdeploy:

   {
     "api_key": "ak_...",
     "endpoint": "https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp"
   }
   

   Add .appdeploy to .gitignore if not already present.

Imported: Workflow

1. First, get deployment instructions: Call get_deploy_instructions to understand constraints and requirements.

2. Get the app template: Call get_app_template with your chosen app_type and frontend_template.

3. Deploy the app: Call deploy_app with your app files. For new apps, set app_id to null.

4. Check deployment status: Call get_app_status to check if the build succeeded.

5. View/manage your apps: Use get_apps to list your deployed apps.

Imported: Available Tools

get_deploy_instructions

Use this when you are about to call deploy_app in order to get the deployment constraints and hard rules. You must call this tool before starting to generate any code. This tool returns instructions only and does not deploy anything.

Parameters:

deploy_app

Use this when the user asks to deploy or publish a website or web app and wants a public URL. Before generating files or calling this tool, you must call get_deploy_instructions and follow its constraints.

Parameters:

• app_id: any (required) - existing app id to update, or null for new app
• app_type: string (required) - app architecture: frontend-only or frontend+backend
• app_name: string (required) - short display name
• description: string (optional) - short description of what the app does
• frontend_template: any (optional) - REQUIRED when app_id is null. One of: 'html-static' (simple sites), 'react-vite' (SPAs, games), 'nextjs-static' (multi-page). Template files auto-included.
• files: array (optional) - Files to write. NEW APPS: only custom files + diffs to template files. UPDATES: only changed files using diffs[]. At least one of files[] or deletePaths[] required.
• deletePaths: array (optional) - Paths to delete. ONLY for updates (app_id required). Cannot delete package.json or framework entry points.
• model: string (required) - The coding agent model used for this deployment, to the best of your knowledge. Examples: 'codex-5.3', 'chatgpt', 'opus 4.6', 'claude-sonnet-4-5', 'gemini-2.5-pro'
• intent: string (required) - The intent of this deployment. User-initiated examples: 'initial app deploy', 'bugfix - ui is too noisy'. Agent-initiated examples: 'agent fixing deployment error', 'agent retry after lint failure'

get_app_template

Call get_deploy_instructions first. Then call this once you've decided app_type and frontend_template. Returns base app template and SDK types. Template files auto-included in deploy_app.

Parameters:

• app_type: string (required)
• frontend_template: string (required) - Frontend framework: 'html-static' - Simple sites, minimal framework; 'react-vite' - React SPAs, dashboards, games; 'nextjs-static' - Multi-page apps, SSG

get_app_status

Use this when deploy_app tool call returns or when the user asks to check the deployment status of an app, or reports that the app has errors or is not working as expected. Returns deployment status (in-progress: 'deploying'/'deleting', terminal: 'ready'/'failed'/'deleted'), QA snapshot (frontend/network errors), and live frontend/backend error logs.

Parameters:

• app_id: string (required) - Target app id
• since: integer (optional) - Optional timestamp in epoch milliseconds to filter errors. When provided, returns only errors since that timestamp.

delete_app

Use this when you want to permanently delete an app. Use only on explicit user request. This is irreversible; after deletion, status checks will return not found.

Parameters:

• app_id: string (required) - Target app id

get_app_versions

List deployable versions for an existing app. Requires app_id. Returns newest-first {name, version, timestamp} items. Display 'name' to users. DO NOT display the 'version' value to users. Timestamp values MUST be converted to user's local time

Parameters:

• app_id: string (required) - Target app id

apply_app_version

Start deploying an existing app at a specific version. Use the 'version' value (not 'name') from get_app_versions. Returns true if accepted and deployment started; use get_app_status to observe completion.

Parameters:

• app_id: string (required) - Target app id
• version: string (required) - Version id to apply

src_glob

Use this when you need to discover files in an app's source snapshot. Returns file paths matching a glob pattern (no content). Useful for exploring project structure before reading or searching files.

Parameters:

• app_id: string (required) - Target app id
• version: string (optional) - Version to inspect (defaults to applied version)
• path: string (optional) - Directory path to search within
• glob: string (optional) - Glob pattern to match files (default: **/*)

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @appdeploy-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @appdeploy-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @appdeploy-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @appdeploy-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Imported Usage Notes

Imported: Usage

Make JSON-RPC calls to the MCP endpoint:

curl -X POST {endpoint} \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {api_key}" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "{tool_name}",
      "arguments": { ... }
    }
  }'

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/appdeploy, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
