The description field of the SKILL.md. The agent reads only this at startup and decides from it when to load the full skill.
Install Deploy to Vercel
The skills CLI copies the skill into the folder of each agent you pick (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf...). Add -g for all projects. Needs Node.js 22.20+. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel
Copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills (all projects) or .claude/skills (this repo). Claude Code picks it up without a restart. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel -a claude-code # or by hand: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills.git /tmp/deploy-to-vercel-src cp -r /tmp/deploy-to-vercel-src/skills/deploy-to-vercel ~/.claude/skills/deploy-to-vercel
Download the skill folder, zip it, then Customize > Skills > + > Create skill > Upload a skill. Code execution must be on (Settings > Capabilities). docs
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills.git /tmp/deploy-to-vercel-src cp -r /tmp/deploy-to-vercel-src/skills/deploy-to-vercel ./deploy-to-vercel zip -r deploy-to-vercel.zip deploy-to-vercel
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in the repo or ~/.agents/skills. Type $ in Codex to use one. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel -a codex
gh skill (GitHub CLI 2.90+, preview) installs it for Copilot in VS Code, the CLI and the cloud agent. Copilot also reads .github/skills and ~/.copilot/skills. docs
gh skill install vercel-labs/agent-skills deploy-to-vercel
Cursor reads .cursor/skills, .agents/skills and ~/.cursor/skills (and .claude/skills). It does not install loose skills from a GitHub URL, so copy it in. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel -a cursor
Installs from the GitHub repo; --path picks this skill out of the repo. Default scope is user (all projects). docs
gemini skills install https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills.git --path skills/deploy-to-vercel
OpenCode reads .opencode/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills and the Claude and .agents folders. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel -a opencode
Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) reads .devin/skills, .windsurf/skills and ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills. docs
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill deploy-to-vercel -a windsurf
