Netlify Deploy
Create, configure, and manage Netlify deploys from code — reach for this when setting up Git continuous deployment, running netlify deploy or netlify deploy --prod from the CLI, writing netlify.toml deploy contexts, adding a Deploy to Netlify button, wiring build hooks, configuring Deploy Previews or branch deploys, locking or skipping deploys, fixing a failed or secrets-scanning deploy, or when someone asks to "deploy my site", "set up preview deploys", "add per-branch build config", "keep staging out of Google", or "add a deploy button to my README".

From the SKILL.md
# Netlify deploy ## Modern CLI ```bash netlify deploy # manual draft deploy (no CI) netlify deploy --prod # deploy straight to production netlify create # new project from a natural-language prompt netlify deploy --allow-anonymous # temp project, claim within 1 hour npm update -g netlify-cli # skew protection needs 23.11.0+ ``` A deploy is a versioned, **atomic** snapshot: Netlify uploads only changed files and switches the live site only after all files land — the site is never in an inconsistent state. A deploy can be a preview or a production version served at your primary domain. **Continuous deployment vs manual deploys:** Deploy with Git and the Netlify CLI support continuous deployment — a push auto-triggers a build. Drag and drop and the API create one-off manual deploys. Manual deploys (`netlify deploy`) do **not** run a build command; drag-and-drop while logged in is the only exception (framework auto-detected). **⚠ When linking or creating a site, add `.netlify` to `.gitignore`.** Every linking path writes `.netlify/state.json`, which must not be committed. ## Ways to create a deploy - **Git CD** — connect a repo; Netlify builds and deploys on every push (OAuth2 or the Netlify GitHub App). This is the default path. Production deploys come from pushes to the production branch — often the repo's default branch (e.g. `main`), changeable under Branches and deploy contexts.

Netlify AI Gateway
49netlify/context-and-tools
Use Netlify AI Gateway to call OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, TypeSafe (Jev), or OpenRouter-hosted models (xAI/DeepSeek/Meta/Mistral/Qwen) from Netlify Functions or Edge Functions without managing provider accounts or API keys. Reach for this when adding an AI feature to a Netlify app — a chatbot, text summarizer, image generator, joke/content generator, form-submission routing or analysis, or any LLM call — or when wiring the OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/TypeSafe/OpenRouter SDK into a Netlify Function, choosing which env vars to use, streaming long generations, or debugging why gateway c
Netlify Blobs
49netlify/context-and-tools
Store and retrieve unstructured objects, files, and cache-like state on Netlify with the @netlify/blobs module. Use when persisting user file uploads (images/documents), caching computed output from functions or Background Functions, serving downloadable assets, storing JSON blobs keyed by ID, or seeding deploy-specific data. Reach for this for key/value or object storage from Functions, Edge Functions, or Build Plugins — not for per-user, transactional, or relational data (use Netlify DB for that). Triggers include "save an uploaded file", "cache API results", "store generated site map", "key
Netlify Database
49netlify/context-and-tools
Zero-config Postgres for Netlify apps via @netlify/database — querying data from Functions/Edge Functions, writing schema migrations, setting up Drizzle ORM, local dev with netlify dev, database branches for deploy previews, and migrating an existing Postgres project onto Netlify. Use when adding a database, building a contact form or CRUD API, writing SQL migrations, wiring up Drizzle, running netlify database commands, testing with a local Postgres, or switching from Neon/Supabase/RDS to Netlify Database.
Netlify Edge Functions
49netlify/context-and-tools
Write, route, cache, and debug Netlify Edge Functions, the Deno-based TypeScript or JavaScript handlers in netlify/edge-functions that run at the network edge in front of static files and serverless functions. Activate this skill whenever someone wants to add auth middleware or a login gate, redirect or rewrite visitors by country or cookie, localize or personalize a page with geolocation, run A/B testing, transform or inject HTML into a response, stream server-side rendering at the edge, or cache an edge response. Also use it when an edge function silently does nothing, runs in the wrong orde
Netlify Functions

Write, configure, and deploy Netlify serverless functions in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Go. Use this when adding an API endpoint or backend route, adding a contact form handler, wiring auth or Identity signup/login hooks, identifying which Netlify user is calling a private or team-login-protected app, building streaming or AI-proxy responses, scheduling cron jobs, running long background jobs (batch processing/scraping), reacting to deploy or form events, setting up rate limiting or region/memory config, or reading environment variables and secrets inside a function.
