Game Deploy

What it does

This skill automates the deployment of browser games to various platforms, primarily using here.now for instant static hosting. It streamlines the build and publishing process, allowing agents to quickly make game builds accessible online. The default deployment method is anonymous and temporary (24 hours), but permanent hosting can be configured with a here.now API key.

When to use it

• Deploying a browser game prototype for quick testing or sharing.
• Making a game build available publicly without complex configuration.
• Automating the deployment process as part of a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline.
• Sharing a demo version of a game with stakeholders.
• Deploying updates to an existing game hosted on here.now.

Key capabilities

• Quick Deployment: Publishes builds quickly using npm run build and a dedicated publish script.
• here.now Integration (Default): Provides instant, zero-configuration static hosting via here.now.
• GitHub Pages Support: Offers GitHub Pages as an alternative deployment option.
• Anonymous & Authenticated Deployments: Supports both anonymous (temporary) and authenticated (permanent) deployments.
• Slug Management: Automatically saves and reuses the slug for updates to existing deployments.

Example prompts

• "Deploy my game build."
• "Publish the latest version of my game to here.now."
• "Update the existing deployment with the new build files."

Tips & gotchas

• 24-Hour Claim Window: Anonymous deployments expire after 24 hours and require users to claim the site by visiting a provided URL and creating a free here.now account. The agent must inform the user about this window and provide the claim URL.
• Vite Base Path: If using Vite, ensure your base configuration is set to /.
• Prerequisites: The skill requires the here-now skill to be installed (npx skills add heredotnow/skill --skill here-now -g).
