vercel-labs academy-skills
COMMUNITYLABSCO SUMMARY
One skill, the core academy skill, is meant to be installed globally — it discovers courses and tracks progress across all of them. The other 6 are per-course companions installed into a project directory as you start that course: filesystem-agents walks through building agents that navigate a filesystem with bash, Building Slack Agents scaffolds and teaches a Slack agent build in one session, Launch a Subscription Store guides a Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe storefront, building-agents-with-eve teaches Vercel's eve framework through a bike-shop dispatcher project, and two more — agent-friendly-apis and Python on Vercel — exist as live, described skills without a matching entry in the README's course table.
This is for someone actually taking a Vercel Academy course who wants the skill to detect their progress and walk the next lesson inside their coding agent rather than a browser tab — it is not a general-purpose skill library, since every skill here does nothing until you have opened the matching course.
READ THE FULL ANALYSIS
What it costs to start. 4 of the 7 need nothing but a local tool already on the machine — agent-friendly-apis, building-agents-with-eve, filesystem-agents, and the core academy skill. The other 3 need an account key: Building Slack Agents wants a real Slack app and tokens, Launch a Subscription Store wants Stripe and Supabase, and Python on Vercel wants an actual Vercel deployment to push to.
Two skills are ahead of the documentation. agent-friendly-apis and Python on Vercel both exist as live, described skills in our catalog, but neither course appears in the README's table — most likely added after the doc was last updated, since both read like real Academy companions rather than placeholders.
WHAT'S INSIDE
7 showing · 7 totalNothing else to set up — install it and go.
agent-friendly-apis
An AI agent can only use an API if its documentation says exactly what to send and what comes back. This course has you build one, document it that way, then automate the writing of those docs.
Building Slack Agents
By the end you have a Slack bot of your own: created in Slack, tested in a real workspace, and running live.
building-agents-with-eve
One AI agent for a fictional bike shop, carried across fourteen lessons from its very first tool to a finished, deployed product — the same agent throughout, never rebuilt.
filesystem-agents
Instead of feeding an AI everything it might possibly need, this course builds an agent that goes and looks — walking through the files itself, the way a person at a terminal would.
Launch a Subscription Store
Turning a plain website into one that people pay a monthly fee to use, and having it live on the internet by the end rather than running only on your laptop.
Python on Vercel
Python on the back end, a JavaScript site on the front, running together as one project under one address — taught a step at a time, with your own files checked as you go.
Vercel Academy
A learning companion for Vercel Academy that finds the right course, teaches its lessons one at a time, and checks your progress by reading your own project files.
