Research direction
Reproduce the Vercel integration steps and confirm the untracked agent/skills/neon, agent/skills/neon-postgres, and skills-lock.json files. Inspect .gitignore, pnpm check, and node_modules/eve/docs/skills.mdx to determine how generated skills enter the shipped assistant. Done means Neon provisioning no longer unexpectedly changes the assistant's skills, with the behavior documented if an opt-out is available.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Expected Behavior
Provisioning the Neon marketplace resource should not change what skills the shipped assistant has.
Current Behavior
vercel integration add neon … (the CLI equivalent of the deploy button's Neon step) finishes with "Installing agent skills for Neon... Installed 2 agent skills for Neon" and writes:
agent/skills/neon/SKILL.md(+agent/skills/neon/references/*)agent/skills/neon-postgres/SKILL.md- a root
skills-lock.json
Because eve scans agent/skills/ (node_modules/eve/docs/skills.mdx), the personal assistant now advertises a "Neon / Lakebase Postgres" skill to the model on every turn. Nothing in the repo ignores, lints, or warns about this, so anyone following the CLI path will commit it without noticing — and the iMessage assistant quietly gains a database-administration skill.
Possible Solution
- Add
agent/skills/neon*andskills-lock.jsonto.gitignore, and/or makepnpm check(knip / a conformance rule) fail when unexpected directories appear underagent/skills/. - Document
vercel integration add neon --no-skillsstyle opt-out if the Vercel CLI offers one, or a one-line "delete these after provisioning" note in the README. - Longer term, keep product skills in a namespaced directory so third-party installers can't land in the agent's skill set.
Minimal Reproducible Example
vercel link --project <fresh>vercel integration add neon --plan <plan> -m region=iad1 -m auth=false --non-interactivegit status→ untrackedagent/skills/neon,agent/skills/neon-postgres,skills-lock.json
