netlify-deploy
Deploy web projects to Netlify using the Netlify CLI (`npx netlify`). Use when the user asks to deploy, host, publish, or link a site/repo on Netlify, including preview and production deploys. Do NOT use for deploying to Vercel, Cloudflare, or Render (use their respective skills).
npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill netlify-deploy --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# 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 `N

What does the netlify-deploy skill do?
Deploy web projects to Netlify using the Netlify CLI (`npx netlify`). Use when the user asks to deploy, host, publish, or link a site/repo on Netlify, including preview and production deploys. Do NOT use for deploying to Vercel, Cloudflare, or Render (use their respective skills).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill netlify-deploy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tech-leads-club/agent-skills, a repository with 4,983 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
