Your agent can take a repository from local code to a live app, including databases and a domain. Send it the Build skill with the outcome you want:
The skill contains authentication, API requests, and deployment instructions. You’ll need a Locus API key or a workspace funded through MPP or x402.

​
What to ask for

​
Deploy a new app

Deploy this GitHub repository to Build with Locus. Check its port and health endpoint, configure the required variables, and send me the live URL when the deployment is healthy.
Your agent creates a project and environment, configures the service, and monitors the build. GitHub and git-push builds typically take 3–7 minutes; pre-built images take 1–2 minutes.

​
Add a database

Add Postgres to this project’s production environment. Connect it to the API service through DATABASE_URL, run the app’s migrations, and redeploy.
Locus provisions the database and exposes its connection values through templates. Your agent adds the references and deploys the updated service.

​
Ship an update

Deploy the latest changes, check the health endpoint, and summarize what changed. If deployment fails, inspect the logs before retrying.
The API supports deployments, cancellations, rollbacks, restarts, and log access. You can follow progress in the dashboard.

​
What you control

You choose the source code, environment, resources, and spending limits. Keep credentials in the agent’s credential storage and application secrets in service variables. Ask your agent to report the final service URL, deployment status, and any action you need to take. For a failed deployment, the useful result is the error and next step.
