PinMe Skill

Use PinMe CLI to deploy static files to IPFS and get a preview URL.

When to Use

• User requests deployment of a frontend project
• User wants to upload static files/website
• User mentions "pinme", "deploy", "publish", or "host"
• After building a frontend project (Vue, React, Next.js, etc.)

Deployment Steps

1. Check if PinMe is Installed

pinme --version

If not installed:

npm install -g pinme

2. Identify Static Files Directory

Look for these directories (in priority order):

1. dist/ - Vue/React/Vite default output
2. build/ - Create React App output
3. out/ - Next.js static export
4. public/ - Pure static projects

Validation rules:

• Directory must exist
• Must contain index.html (for websites)
• Should contain static assets (CSS, JS, images)

3. Execute Upload

pinme upload <directory>

Examples:

pinme upload dist
pinme upload build
pinme upload ./my-static-site

4. Return Result

After successful upload, return only the preview URL:

https://pinme.eth.limo/#/preview/<hash>

Users can visit the preview page to:

• View the deployed website
• Get a fixed domain: https://<name>.pinit.eth.limo

Important Rules

DO:

• Verify build output exists before uploading
• Check for index.html in the upload directory
• Return the preview URL to the user

DO NOT:

• Upload node_modules/
• Upload .env files
• Upload .git/ directory
• Upload source code (use build output only)
• Upload configuration files (package.json, tsconfig.json, etc.)
• Upload empty or non-existent directories

Common Workflows

Build and Deploy (Vue/Vite)

npm run build
pinme upload dist

Build and Deploy (React CRA)

npm run build
pinme upload build

Build and Deploy (Next.js Static)

npm run build
npm run export  # or next export
pinme upload out

Error Handling

Error	Solution
command not found: pinme	Run npm install -g pinme
No such file or directory	Check path, run build first
Permission denied	Check folder permissions
Upload failed	Check network, retry

Other Commands

# List upload history
pinme list
pinme ls -l 5

# Remove uploaded file
pinme rm <hash>
