vercel
Deploy and configure applications on Vercel. Use when deploying Next.js apps, configuring serverless functions, setting up edge functions, or managing Vercel projects. Triggers on Vercel, deploy, serverless, edge function, Next.js deployment.
What this skill does
# Vercel Deployment
Deploy and scale applications on Vercel's edge network.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Install Vercel CLI
npm i -g vercel
# Deploy
vercel
# Production deploy
vercel --prod
```
## vercel.json Configuration
```json
{
"buildCommand": "npm run build",
"outputDirectory": ".next",
"framework": "nextjs",
"regions": ["iad1", "sfo1"],
"functions": {
"api/**/*.ts": {
"memory": 1024,
"maxDuration": 30
}
},
"rewrites": [
{ "source": "/api/:path*", "destination": "/api/:path*" },
{ "source": "/:path*", "destination": "/" }
],
"headers": [
{
"source": "/api/:path*",
"headers": [
{ "key": "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "value": "*" }
]
}
],
"env": {
"DATABASE_URL": "@database-url"
}
}
```
## Serverless Functions
```typescript
// api/hello.ts
import type { VercelRequest, VercelResponse } from '@vercel/node';
export default function handler(req: VercelRequest, res: VercelResponse) {
const { name = 'World' } = req.query;
res.status(200).json({ message: `Hello ${name}!` });
}
```
## Edge Functions
```typescript
// api/edge.ts
export const config = {
runtime: 'edge',
};
export default function handler(request: Request) {
return new Response(JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello from Edge!' }), {
headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
});
}
```
## Next.js App Router
```typescript
// app/api/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
const name = searchParams.get('name') ?? 'World';
return NextResponse.json({ message: `Hello ${name}!` });
}
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const body = await request.json();
return NextResponse.json({ received: body });
}
```
## ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration)
```typescript
// app/posts/[id]/page.tsx
export const revalidate = 60; // Revalidate every 60 seconds
export async function generateStaticParams() {
const posts = await getPosts();
return posts.map((post) => ({ id: post.id }));
}
export default async function Post({ params }: { params: { id: string } }) {
const post = await getPost(params.id);
return <article>{post.content}</article>;
}
```
## Vercel KV (Redis)
```typescript
import { kv } from '@vercel/kv';
// Set
await kv.set('user:123', { name: 'Alice', visits: 0 });
// Get
const user = await kv.get('user:123');
// Increment
await kv.incr('user:123:visits');
// Hash operations
await kv.hset('session:abc', { userId: '123', expires: Date.now() + 3600000 });
const session = await kv.hgetall('session:abc');
```
## Vercel Postgres
```typescript
import { sql } from '@vercel/postgres';
// Query
const { rows } = await sql`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;
// Insert
await sql`INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (${name}, ${email})`;
// Transaction
await sql.query('BEGIN');
try {
await sql`UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ${amount} WHERE id = ${from}`;
await sql`UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ${amount} WHERE id = ${to}`;
await sql.query('COMMIT');
} catch (e) {
await sql.query('ROLLBACK');
throw e;
}
```
## Environment Variables
```bash
# Add secret
vercel env add DATABASE_URL production
# Pull env vars locally
vercel env pull .env.local
# List env vars
vercel env ls
```
## Cron Jobs
```json
// vercel.json
{
"crons": [
{
"path": "/api/daily-job",
"schedule": "0 0 * * *"
}
]
}
```
```typescript
// api/daily-job.ts
export default function handler(req, res) {
// Verify it's from Vercel Cron
if (req.headers['authorization'] !== `Bearer ${process.env.CRON_SECRET}`) {
return res.status(401).end();
}
// Run job
await runDailyJob();
res.status(200).end();
}
```

generating-lwc-components
IncludedLightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.
tanstack-query
IncludedManage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.
document-processor-api
IncludedProcess documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.

tanstack-query
IncludedManage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Covers useMutationState, simplified optimistic updates, throwOnError, network mode (offline/PWA), and infiniteQueryOptions. Use when setting up data fetching, fixing v4→v5 migration errors (object syntax, gcTime, isPending, keepPreviousData), or debugging SSR/hydration issues with streaming server components.
accelint-nextjs-best-practices
IncludedNext.js performance optimization and best practices. Use when writing Next.js code (App Router or Pages Router); implementing Server Components, Server Actions, or API routes; optimizing RSC serialization, data fetching, or server-side rendering; reviewing Next.js code for performance issues; fixing authentication in Server Actions; or implementing Suspense boundaries, parallel data fetching, or request deduplication.
