Vercel CI is now in beta

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

Vercel CI automates essential development workflows by executing only the specific tasks affected by incoming code updates. The platform handles caching through Vercel Remote Cache, installs dependencies just once per run, and saves those dependencies across subsequent updates. Teams can configure tasks to run on every push simply by tagging them in their configuration file. Initial setup can be started by prompting an agent with the command `npx skills use vercel/ci@setup` to select tasks and generate a pull request.

You can now run CI for your Turborepo with one line of configuration.

{ "tasks": { "lint": { "tags": ["ci"] } }}

Use tags to make a task run in Vercel CI.

In Vercel's internal repositories, our wait time from git push

to "CI passed" is 2-6x shorter, dramatically improving our CI's ability to keep up with our coding agents.

To get started, prompt your agent in your repo:

Set up Vercel CI for this repository. Run `npx skills use vercel/ci@setup` and follow the skill's instructions to select initial tasks, configure Vercel CI, and open a pull request.

Each task marked with a ci

tag runs on every push. Vercel CI automatically takes care of:

Only running CI that is affected by your code changes

Task caching with Vercel Remote Cache

Installing dependencies once per run

Caching dependencies across code updates
