Deploy and manage projects on Vercel using token-based authentication. Use when working with Vercel CLI using access tokens rather than interactive login — e.g. "deploy to vercel", "set up vercel", "add environment variables to vercel".

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills /tmp/agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/agent-skills/skills/vercel-cli-with-tokens ~/.claude/skills/vercel-cli-with-tokens
```

## From README

Vercel CLI with Tokens Deploy and manage projects on Vercel using the CLI with token-based authentication, without relying on vercel login. Step 1: Locate the Vercel Token Before running any Vercel CLI commands, identify where the token is coming from. Work through these scenarios in order: A) VERCELTOKEN is already set in the environment If this returns a value, you're ready. Skip to Step 2. B) Token is in a .env file under VERCELTOKEN If found, export it: C) Token is in a .env file under a different name Look for any variable that looks like a Vercel token (Vercel tokens typically start with vca): Inspect the output to identify which variable holds the token, then export it as VERCELTOKEN: D) No token found — ask the user If none of the above yield a token, ask the user to provide one. They can create a Vercel access token at vercel.com/account/tokens.
