clawdship_skill

Overview

This skill deploys websites and Docker-based apps to clawdship.dev with zero signup. It packages and uploads static files or a Dockerfile archive, returns a live URL and billing info, and auto-creates an account on first use. Use simple CLI calls or the API to list, redeploy, manage domains, and top up credits.

How this skill works

The skill packages your build output (or project with a Dockerfile) into a tar.gz and posts it to the Clawdship API. On first deploy it auto-creates an account and returns an API key, a live URL (my-app.clawdship.dev), and a billing link. For Docker apps the platform builds from the Dockerfile and runs the container on the specified port. Redeploy, domain updates, and credit checks are done via the same API using the returned API key.

When to use it

• You want to publish a static site quickly without creating an account.
• You need to deploy a Dockerfile-based app with minimal setup.
• You want a quick preview URL for demos or client review.
• You need automated redeploys from archives or CI artifacts.
• You need hosting with simple pay-by-credits billing and custom domains.

Best practices

• Save the returned API key immediately — it cannot be recovered.
• Tell the human about the 7-day trial and the $5/month billing after deploy.
• Include a Dockerfile at project root for Docker builds; set the correct port.
• Use envVars in the API request for secrets and configuration, not committed files.
• Point DNS before adding custom domains (CNAME for subdomains, A record for apex).

Example use cases

• Deploy a React/Vue/Angular build folder as a static site with one command.
• Ship a Node/Go/Python service by including a Dockerfile and specifying port 3000.
• Create temporary demo sites for clients and share the live clawdship.dev URL.
• Integrate deploy.sh or API calls into CI to automate deploys on push.
• Top up credits via x402 from an agent or send the billingUrl to a human for payment.
