Ship a website by
talking to your AI.
No git, no dashboard, no signup form. There are two ways in, depending on where your AI lives: install the skill if you're in a coding agent, or just paste a link if you're in a web chat like ChatGPT.
Up and running in three steps.
Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, opencode, and Cursor — anything with a shell.
-
1
Add the skill
Drop the skill files into your tool's skills folder — no script to run. It teaches the agent the whole platform (JSON deploy, state & collections, private pages, widgets, templates). Per-tool and Windows steps are right below.
Quickest: tell your agent "download https://simple-host.app/skills.zip and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills" — or grab skills.zip yourself.
-
2
Describe what you want
In a fresh chat, point at your files or just describe the site: "Deploy this folder to Simple Host," or "Build me a waitlist page with email signups."
-
3
It ships — then iterate
Live at https://your-name.simple-host.app in under a minute. Change it by chatting: "make the hero green," "add a live counter."
# Step 1 — add the skill (no script — unzip into # ~/.claude/skills; see the table below) # Step 2 — describe your site Build a coming-soon page for my app "PlantPal" with an email signup list and a live "join N others" counter. # Step 3 — ship it Use the simple-host skill to deploy it. # iterate, in plain English "make the hero forest-green" "add a countdown to launch day"
Just drop it in your skills folder.
The skill is plain Markdown — nothing executes. The quickest way is the universal skills CLI (works across 17+ agents); or download skills.zip and unzip it into your tool's skills directory, or tell your agent to do it. You never have to pipe a remote script into your shell.
npx skills add vineetu/simple-host
Download https://simple-host.app/skills.zip and unzip it into my skills folder (~/.claude/skills for Claude Code — create it if it doesn't exist). Then list your skills: you should see website-deploy and website-deploy-builder.
| Tool | Skills folder · macOS / Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ | %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\ |
| Codex CLI | ~/.agents/skills/ | %USERPROFILE%\.agents\skills\ |
| opencode | ~/.config/opencode/skills/ | %USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\skills\ |
| Hermes | ~/.hermes/skills/ | %USERPROFILE%\.hermes\skills\ |
| OpenClaw | ~/.openclaw/skills/ | %USERPROFILE%\.openclaw\skills\ |
| Cursor / other | Point it at the skills directory it reads (see your tool's docs) — the files are identical. | |
| Claude.ai / Desktop | Needs a paid plan (Pro/Max/Team) with Code execution on. Open your skills settings (Settings → Features, or Customize → Skills), choose “+ Create skill”, and upload each ZIP separately: website-deploy.zip website-deploy-builder.zip | |
Rather run it yourself? Unzip into your tool's folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && curl -fsSL https://simple-host.app/skills.zip -o /tmp/sh-skills.zip && unzip -o /tmp/sh-skills.zip -d ~/.claude/skills
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills" | Out-Null Invoke-WebRequest https://simple-host.app/skills.zip -OutFile "$env:TEMP\sh-skills.zip" Expand-Archive "$env:TEMP\sh-skills.zip" "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills" -Force
For Codex / opencode, swap in the folder from the table. There's also a one-liner for macOS/Linux — curl -fsSL https://simple-host.app/install.sh | sh — but it only does the unzip above; read it first if you'd rather not run a script.
Hermes installs straight from the URL — no download needed: hermes skills install https://simple-host.app/skills/website-deploy/SKILL.md --name website-deploy (and the same with website-deploy-builder). OpenClaw auto-discovers any SKILL.md under its skills root, so the unzip above into ~/.openclaw/skills/ is all it needs.
No agent to run? Paste a site.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and the like can't run commands or sign you in — so they build the site and hand you a JSON block. You paste it here, preview, and publish. Nothing to install.
# Simple Host — full deploy instructions for your AI …
Most chat assistants can't open a link — so copy the full instructions (the contents of /llms.txt) and paste them straight into the chat.
-
1
Ask it to build the site
Paste the instructions (the Copy button above) into the chat, then describe what you want. It builds a complete site as one JSON block. (If your AI can open links, /llms.txt works too.)
-
2
Copy the JSON it gives you
The assistant replies with a single json code block — copy the whole thing.
-
3
Paste it here & publish
At simple-host.app, sign in (one 6-digit email code), open Create a site with AI → “Built it in ChatGPT or Gemini? Paste the JSON”, paste, preview, and hit Publish. Live at https://your-name.simple-host.app.
You Build me a wedding RSVP page. Follow https://simple-host.app/llms.txt and give me the JSON to paste. Assistant Here's your site — copy this and paste it into Simple Host: ```json { "simpleHost": 1, "name": "priya-wedding", "files": { "index.html": "<!DOCTYPE html>…" } } ``` → then paste it at simple-host.app → Publish
Tip: if your assistant can make web requests (some can browse or run code), it can deploy directly — but the copy-paste path always works.
A static site — with a backend when you need it.
Your assistant reads the spec, so you don't have to.
