What is AI Agent Integration?

Sher provides native support for AI coding agents, enabling them to automatically deploy projects they build and hand users live preview URLs. Instead of just generating code, agents can now deliver working, shareable applications.

​
The Use Case

When AI coding agents build frontend projects for users, there’s typically a gap between “here’s the code” and “here’s what it looks like.” Sher bridges that gap:
  1. Agent scaffolds or modifies a project
  2. Agent runs sher link to deploy it
  3. Agent returns a live URL to the user
  4. User sees the working application immediately
No manual deployment steps. No configuration. No waiting for CI/CD pipelines.

​
Benefits

Instant Feedback

Users see working previews in seconds, not minutes or hours

No Configuration

Works out of the box with auto-detected frameworks and build commands

Shareable URLs

Agents can hand users URLs that work in any browser, no local setup needed

Agent-Friendly Design

No interactive prompts, no browser windows, clean stdout output

​
How It Works

Sher is designed to be agent-friendly from the ground up:
  • No interactive prompts — runs headlessly without user input
  • No browser launching — URL goes to stdout, not a browser window
  • Clean output — parseable URL format for easy extraction
  • Zero config — no accounts or setup required for basic usage
  • Deterministic exit codes — 0 on success, non-zero on failure

​
Compatible Agents and Tools

The Sher skill is designed to work with any AI coding agent that supports skill installation. The skill has been packaged for agent frameworks that support the skills ecosystem.

​
Supported Frameworks

The agent skill works with:
  • Vite (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.)
  • Next.js (static export, auto-configured)
  • Astro
  • Create React App
  • Any project with a build script producing dist/, build/, or out/

​
Installation

To enable AI agents to use Sher, install the agent skill: 
npx skills add sherdotsh/sher
This gives your AI agent the ability to run sher link and deploy projects automatically.

Example Workflow

Here’s what a typical agent interaction looks like:
  1. User: “Build me a React todo app”
  2. Agent: Scaffolds project with Vite + React
  3. Agent: Runs sher link to deploy
  4. Agent: “Your todo app is live at https://a8xk2m1p.sher.sh”
  5. User: Opens URL and sees working app
The entire process takes seconds, and the user gets a shareable preview URL they can send to teammates or stakeholders.

​
Usage Tiers

Sher works without authentication, but agents can use authenticated deployments for better limits:
TierLinks/DayMax SizeMax TTL
Anonymous110 MB6 hours
Authenticated2550 MB24 hours
Pro200100 MB7 days
Anonymous usage is perfect for quick demos. For production agent workflows, authentication provides better rate limits.
