​
Natural Language

Just tell your agent what to publish. The skill triggers automatically on phrases like:
  • “Publish this project”
  • “Deploy my dist folder”
  • “Give me a live URL for this”
  • “Host this HTML file”
  • “Make this site live”
  • “Share this as a website”
  • “Update my site”

​
Slash Command

You can also invoke the skill directly: 
/simplehost ./dist
Or without arguments (the skill will auto-detect what to publish): 
/simplehost

​
Examples

​
Publish a project

You: "Publish my project to the web"

Agent: I'll publish the ./dist directory to SimpleHost.

​
First-time setup

You: "Publish this site"

Agent: You need a SimpleHost API key for permanent publishing.
       Would you like me to set one up? I'll need your email address.

You: "yes, use me@example.com"

Agent: I've sent a verification code to me@example.com.
       Please check your email and paste the XXXX-XXXX code.

You: "ABCD-1234"

Agent: ✅ Authenticated! Your API key is set.
       Now publishing...

​
Auto-Detection

When you don’t specify a directory, the skill looks for common build outputs:
  1. dist/ — Vite, Rollup, Parcel
  2. build/ — Create React App, Webpack
  3. out/ — Next.js static export
  4. public/ — Static files
  5. .next/out/ — Next.js
If none are found, the agent asks you what to publish.

​
Tips

Set SIMPLEHOST_API_KEY in your shell profile so the skill can publish permanently without asking for authentication each time.
  • The skill remembers the slug from the last publish in the conversation, so “update my site” works without specifying the slug again
  • You can publish single files too — the skill creates a temporary directory automatically
  • The skill works with any file type: HTML, images, PDFs, videos, ZIP files, etc.
