Vercel Plugin
vercel-plugin
Vercel's official plugin: an ecosystem graph, skills for Next.js, AI SDK, deployment and storage, specialist agents and deploy commands
Install
npx plugins add vercel/vercel-pluginInstalls context, skills and a light default hook profile. Requires Node.js 18+ and Bun.
This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The plugin loads a text graph of Vercel products with decision matrices and migration notes for sunset products. Skills cover Next.js and Cache Components, AI SDK and AI Gateway, Functions, Sandbox, storage, environment variables, firewall, flags, deployment and CI/CD, shadcn/ui and Turbopack. Three agents specialize in deployment, performance and AI app architecture. The bootstrap, deploy, env and status commands link the project, set up the environment and ship it, and session start hooks activate only in empty folders and detected Vercel, Next.js or eve projects.
Who it is for. For frontend and full-stack developers building with Next.js and deploying to Vercel.
Good fit when
- Your Next.js project confuses the agent with new APIs like Cache Components
- You need to set up deployment, env vars or storage on Vercel
- You are building an AI app on AI SDK with model routing via AI Gateway
Not a fit when
- The project is not hosted on Vercel and does not use Next.js
- You cannot send even anonymous telemetry and cannot set the opt-out variable
Example request
/vercel-plugin:deploy prodLimitations
Requires Node.js 18+ and Bun. Telemetry is on by default: a daily ping, plugin version, agent type and names of invoked plugin skills, with no prompts, commands or paths. Disable it with VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off. Deployment and project management need a Vercel account, and Vercel availability from Russia can vary.
How to disable. Uninstall the plugin with your agent's tooling, for example /plugin in Claude Code. VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off disables telemetry.
Security check
- Deploy and env commands change the project and environment variables on Vercel
- The plugin installs hooks and sends telemetry by default
README in short
The README starts with supported agents and a one-command install. It then covers components: the vercel.md ecosystem graph, a skills table, three agents, four commands and session start hooks. A long section explains telemetry: exactly what is collected, which headers are sent and how to opt out. Maintained by the Vercel team.
FAQ
Will it inject skills into every prompt?
No. Automatic injection is off by default, skills are on demand, and session context is added only in matching projects.
Which agents does it support?
Per the README: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex, Grok Build and Kimi Code.
