What this skill does

# Vercel Install & Auth

## Overview

Install the Vercel CLI, create a scoped access token, and link your local project to a Vercel project. This skill covers both interactive login and headless CI token authentication via the REST API.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ installed
- npm, pnpm, or yarn available
- A Vercel account (hobby, pro, or enterprise)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Install Vercel CLI

```bash
set -euo pipefail
# Global install (recommended)
npm install -g vercel@latest

# Or project-local
npm install --save-dev vercel@latest

# Verify installation
vercel --version
```

### Step 2: Authenticate — Interactive Login

```bash
# Opens browser for OAuth login, stores token in ~/.config/com.vercel.cli
vercel login

# Or login with a specific email
vercel login [email protected]

# Login with GitHub
vercel login --github

# Login with GitLab
vercel login --gitlab
```

### Step 3: Authenticate — Headless Token (CI/CD)

Create a token in the Vercel dashboard at **Settings > Tokens** or via the API:

```bash
# Use a pre-created token — set as environment variable
export VERCEL_TOKEN="your-access-token-here"

# The CLI reads VERCEL_TOKEN automatically — no login needed
vercel whoami
# Output: your-username

# Scope the token to a specific team
export VERCEL_ORG_ID="team_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
export VERCEL_PROJECT_ID="prj_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
```

### Step 4: Link Local Project

```bash
# Interactive — walks you through project selection
vercel link

# Or link to a specific project by name
vercel link --project my-project-name

# Verify the link — pulls .vercel/project.json
cat .vercel/project.json
# {"orgId":"team_xxx","projectId":"prj_xxx"}
```

### Step 5: Verify Connection via REST API

```bash
# Test token against the REST API directly
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $VERCEL_TOKEN" \
  https://api.vercel.com/v9/projects | jq '.projects[].name'

# List teams
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $VERCEL_TOKEN" \
  https://api.vercel.com/v2/teams | jq '.teams[].name'
```

### Step 6: Pull Environment Variables

```bash
# Pull remote env vars to local .env.development.local
vercel env pull .env.development.local

# Pull for a specific environment
vercel env pull --environment=preview
```

## Token Scopes Reference

| Scope | Access | Use Case |
|-------|--------|----------|
| Full Account | All projects, all teams | Personal dev |
| Team-scoped | One team only | Team CI/CD |
| Project-scoped | One project only | Per-project automation |

Tokens support optional expiration dates. Set short-lived tokens (90 days) for CI and rotate them on a schedule.

## Output

- Vercel CLI installed and on PATH
- Authentication token stored or environment variable set
- Local project linked to Vercel project via `.vercel/project.json`
- Environment variables pulled to local `.env.development.local`

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `Error: No token found` | Not logged in, no VERCEL_TOKEN | Run `vercel login` or export VERCEL_TOKEN |
| `Error: Invalid token` | Token expired or revoked | Generate new token at vercel.com/account/tokens |
| `EACCES permission denied` | Global install without sudo | Use `npx vercel` or install with `--prefix ~/.npm-global` |
| `Error: Team not found` | Wrong VERCEL_ORG_ID | Check team ID in Vercel dashboard > Settings > General |
| `fetch failed` | Network or proxy issue | Check `HTTPS_PROXY` env var, ensure port 443 outbound |

## `.gitignore` Setup

```gitignore
# Vercel
.vercel/
.env*.local
```

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
