.claude/skills/deploy-router/# Deploy Router - Vercel vs Cloudflare vs GitHub Pages Decision Engine
I intelligently route your deployment to the optimal platform based on project analysis, **including repository visibility** (private vs public).
## When to Use This Skill
Ask me when you need help with:
- **Platform Decision**: "Should I deploy to Vercel or Cloudflare?"
- **Project Analysis**: "Analyze my project for deployment"
- **SEO-Aware Routing**: "I need dynamic SEO for my Next.js app"
- **Cost Optimization**: "What's the cheapest deployment option?"
- **Edge-First**: "I want global edge deployment"
- **Private Repo Deployment**: "Where can I deploy my private repo for free?"

## 🚨 CRITICAL: Repository Visibility Check (ALWAYS DO FIRST)
**GitHub Pages has a major limitation**: Free GitHub accounts can ONLY deploy GitHub Pages from **public repositories**. Private repo deployment requires GitHub Pro, Team, or Enterprise.
