Deploy applications to Render's cloud platform using Git-backed services

render-deploy is an agent skill from OpenAI's curated skills collection that deploys applications to Render's cloud platform. It analyzes the codebase, generates a render.yaml Blueprint, which is Render's infrastructure-as-code file, and produces Dashboard deeplinks so you can deploy with a click. It supports Blueprints and direct MCP-based service creation for a single-service app, and it covers web services, workers, cron jobs, databases and static sites. Instead of writing render.yaml by hand, setting environment variables and navigating the Dashboard, the skill analyzes the code, produces a validated Blueprint and hands over a ready deploy link. Typical uses include generating a render.yaml for a Node.js API with a Postgres database, setting up a cron job and a background worker alongside a web service, deploying a static frontend from a GitHub repository to Render's CDN, adding the Render MCP server to Cursor or Claude Code for direct service creation, and migrating a multi-service app with its environment variables and datastores configured. It suits teams that host on Render and want the configuration generated from the code. Check the environment variables and any secrets before the first deploy, and review the Blueprint, since it creates billable services on your account. The skill is listed on officialskills.sh and installs from the openai/skills repository. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/openai/skills --skill render-deploy.
