What it does

This skill guides an AI agent through putting a finished app clone onto a real website. It first runs a checklist of tests, a rebranding check and build checks, and stops if any fail. After that it lays out the production database, environment variables, payment and login setup, domain DNS records, email settings, monitoring and mobile app builds, while leaving purchases, sign-ins and live keys to the user.

Great for

  • Developers who have built an app clone with the related replica skills and want to launch it on their own domain
  • Solo founders who want a step-by-step launch checklist with DNS and email records written out for them

Skip it if

  • Anyone who wants the agent to buy domains, enter payment cards or handle live API keys directly; the skill is written so the user does these steps, and the agent only supplies instructions
  • Projects that are not rebranded or lack tests, since the skill blocks deployment until the checks pass and it could mislead people into skipping legal or privacy requirements

Try asking

  • “Deploy it”
  • “Connect my domain and tell me the DNS records to add”
  • “Go to production with my Stripe live mode setup”
  • “Ship the app to TestFlight and Play internal testing”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the preflight checks first and read the results before asking for a go-ahead, since any failure stops the deploy
  • Keep live keys and passwords out of the chat; add them yourself in the host's environment settings
  • Use the DMARC record starting at p=none and only tighten it once reports look clean, so legitimate email is not blocked
