Vercel Automation

Vercel Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/vercel-automation 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.

Vercel Automation via Rube MCP Automate Vercel platform operations through Composio's Vercel toolkit via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, 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.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Vercel tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): manage deployments, domains, DNS, env vars, projects, and teams. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

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. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBESEARCHTOOLS responds
2. Call RUBEMANAGECONNECTIONS with toolkit vercel
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Vercel OAuth
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
5. VERCELLISTALLDEPLOYMENTS or VERCELGET_DEPLOYMENTS - List deployments with filters [Required]
6. VERCELGETDEPLOYMENT or VERCELGETDEPLOYMENT_DETAILS - Get specific deployment info [Optional]

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Monitor and Inspect Deployments

When to use: User wants to list, inspect, or debug deployments

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_LIST_ALL_DEPLOYMENTS or VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENTS - List deployments with filters [Required]
2. VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT or VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT_DETAILS - Get specific deployment info [Optional]
3. VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT_LOGS or VERCEL_GET_RUNTIME_LOGS - View build/runtime logs [Optional]
4. VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT_EVENTS - Get deployment event timeline [Optional]
5. VERCEL_LIST_DEPLOYMENT_CHECKS - View deployment check results [Optional]

Key parameters:

• projectId: Filter deployments by project
• state: Filter by deployment state (e.g., 'READY', 'ERROR', 'BUILDING')
• limit: Number of deployments to return
• target: Filter by environment ('production', 'preview')
• deploymentId or idOrUrl: Specific deployment identifier

Pitfalls:

• Deployment IDs and URLs are both accepted as identifiers in most endpoints
• Build logs and runtime logs are separate; use the appropriate tool
• VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT_LOGS returns build logs; VERCEL_GET_RUNTIME_LOGS returns serverless function logs
• Deployment events include status transitions and are useful for debugging timing issues

2. Create and Manage Deployments

When to use: User wants to trigger a new deployment

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_LIST_PROJECTS - Find the target project [Prerequisite]
2. VERCEL_CREATE_NEW_DEPLOYMENT - Trigger a new deployment [Required]
3. VERCEL_GET_DEPLOYMENT - Monitor deployment progress [Optional]

Key parameters:

• name: Project name for the deployment
• target: Deployment target ('production' or 'preview')
• gitSource: Git repository source with ref/branch info
• files: Array of file objects for file-based deployments

Pitfalls:

• Either gitSource or files must be provided, not both
• Git-based deployments require proper repository integration
• Production deployments update the production domain alias automatically
• Deployment creation is asynchronous; poll with GET_DEPLOYMENT for status

3. Manage Environment Variables

When to use: User wants to add, list, or remove environment variables for a project

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_LIST_PROJECTS - Find the project ID [Prerequisite]
2. VERCEL_LIST_ENV_VARIABLES - List existing env vars [Required]
3. VERCEL_ADD_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE - Add a new env var [Optional]
4. VERCEL_DELETE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE - Remove an env var [Optional]

Key parameters:

• projectId: Target project identifier
• key: Environment variable name
• value: Environment variable value
• target: Array of environments ('production', 'preview', 'development')
• type: Variable type ('plain', 'secret', 'encrypted', 'sensitive')

Pitfalls:

• Environment variable names must be unique per target environment
• type: 'secret' variables cannot be read back after creation; only the ID is returned
• Deleting an env var requires both projectId and the env var id (not the key name)
• Changes require a new deployment to take effect

4. Manage Domains and DNS

When to use: User wants to configure custom domains or manage DNS records

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_GET_DOMAIN - Check domain status and configuration [Required]
2. VERCEL_GET_DOMAIN_CONFIG - Get DNS/SSL configuration details [Optional]
3. VERCEL_LIST_PROJECT_DOMAINS - List domains attached to a project [Optional]
4. VERCEL_GET_DNS_RECORDS - List DNS records for a domain [Optional]
5. VERCEL_CREATE_DNS_RECORD - Add a new DNS record [Optional]
6. VERCEL_UPDATE_DNS_RECORD - Modify an existing DNS record [Optional]

Key parameters:

• domain: Domain name (e.g., 'example.com')
• name: DNS record name/subdomain
• type: DNS record type ('A', 'AAAA', 'CNAME', 'MX', 'TXT', 'SRV')
• value: DNS record value
• ttl: Time-to-live in seconds

Pitfalls:

• Domain must be added to the Vercel account before DNS management
• SSL certificates are auto-provisioned but may take time for new domains
• CNAME records at the apex domain are not supported; use A records instead
• MX records require priority values

5. Manage Projects

When to use: User wants to list, inspect, or update project settings

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_LIST_PROJECTS - List all projects [Required]
2. VERCEL_GET_PROJECT - Get detailed project information [Optional]
3. VERCEL_UPDATE_PROJECT - Modify project settings [Optional]

Key parameters:

• idOrName: Project ID or name for lookup
• name: Project name for updates
• framework: Framework preset (e.g., 'nextjs', 'vite', 'remix')
• buildCommand: Custom build command override
• rootDirectory: Root directory if not repo root

Pitfalls:

• Project names are globally unique within a team/account
• Changing framework settings affects subsequent deployments
• rootDirectory is relative to the repository root

6. Team Management

When to use: User wants to view team info or list team members

Tool sequence:

1. VERCEL_LIST_TEAMS - List all teams the user belongs to [Required]
2. VERCEL_GET_TEAM - Get detailed team information [Optional]
3. VERCEL_GET_TEAM_MEMBERS - List members of a specific team [Optional]

Key parameters:

• teamId: Team identifier
• limit: Number of results per page
• role: Filter members by role

Pitfalls:

• Team operations require appropriate team-level permissions
• Personal accounts have no teams; team endpoints return empty results
• Member roles include 'OWNER', 'MEMBER', 'DEVELOPER', 'VIEWER'

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Vercel connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit vercel
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @vercel-automation 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 @vercel-automation 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 @vercel-automation 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 @vercel-automation 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.

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-claude/skills/vercel-automation, 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.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

ID Resolution

Project name -> Project ID:

1. Call VERCEL_LIST_PROJECTS
2. Find project by name in response
3. Extract id field for subsequent operations

Domain -> DNS Records:

1. Call VERCEL_GET_DNS_RECORDS with domain name
2. Extract record IDs for update/delete operations

Pagination

• Use limit parameter to control page size
• Check response for pagination tokens or next fields
• Continue fetching until no more pages are indicated

Imported: Known Pitfalls

Deployment States:

• States include: INITIALIZING, ANALYZING, BUILDING, DEPLOYING, READY, ERROR, CANCELED, QUEUED
• Only READY deployments are live and serving traffic
• ERROR deployments should be inspected via logs for failure details

Environment Variables:

• Secret type vars are write-only; values cannot be retrieved after creation
• Env vars are scoped to environments (production, preview, development)
• A redeployment is needed for env var changes to take effect

Rate Limits:

• Vercel API has rate limits per endpoint
• Implement backoff on 429 responses
• Batch operations where possible to reduce API calls

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
