Deploy from a Coding Agent

If you already build inside Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, AMP, or another coding agent, you can keep deployment in the same conversation by installing the InstaVM skill.

Install the skill​

npx skills add https://github.com/instavm/skills --skill use-instavm

Skill page: skills.sh/instavm/skills/use-instavm

Background and demo: Deploy from your coding agent with the InstaVM Skill

What the skill can do​

With the skill installed, your coding agent can:

  • create a VM or choose the right runtime for the app
  • deploy the project it just edited
  • decide whether the resulting share should be public or private
  • tighten or open network egress for the workload
  • snapshot a working environment for reuse
  • return the URL, VM ID, or SSH target in the same session

When to use the skill instead of the CLI​

WorkflowBest when
instavm deployYou are already in a terminal and want the shortest direct path from repo to share URL
InstaVM skillYou are already working inside a coding agent and want the agent to make infra decisions in the same conversation

Example prompts​

  • Deploy this repo on InstaVM and return the share URL.
  • Ship this app on InstaVM, keep the share private, and tell me how to SSH in.
  • Deploy this project, restrict egress after install, and save a snapshot when the health check passes.

Why this is different from an app using InstaVM as a tool​

This workflow is about a coding agent deploying the app it is editing. If you want to build your own app or agent that calls InstaVM as a tool for code execution, start with Build an AI Agent Code Execution Tool instead.
