Dokpilot
One command to go from a GitHub repo to a live app with SSL, domain, and auto-deploy on push.
/dokpilot deploy github.com/user/my-app --domain app.example.com
Dokpilot is a Claude Code skill that turns Claude into a DevOps engineer for your VPS. It automates the full lifecycle through Dokploy and CloudFlare DNS — setup, deploy, domains, databases, monitoring, and teardown.
Benchmarks
We tested Claude with and without Dokpilot across 3 real-world DevOps scenarios:
With Dokpilot
- Pass rate: 100%
- Reads built-in references instantly
- Uses correct tRPC API calls
- DNS
--no-proxy for Let's Encrypt
- Auto-deploy via GitHub App (no webhooks)
|
Without Dokpilot
- Pass rate: 24%
- Googles outdated Dokploy docs
- Misses required API fields
- Breaks SSL with CloudFlare proxy
- Recommends manual webhook setup
|
Most revealing test: When asked about auto-deploy, naked Claude recommends setting up webhooks — the exact opposite of how Dokploy works. Dokpilot correctly explains that the GitHub App handles it automatically.

Quick Start
1. Install the skill
git clone https://github.com/kyzdes/dokpilot.git ~/dokpilot
ln -s ~/dokpilot ~/.claude/skills/dokpilot
2. Install dependencies
# macOS
brew install jq sshpass
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install jq sshpass
3. Set up your VPS
/dokpilot setup <server-ip> <root-password>
Claude SSHs in, installs Dokploy, configures the firewall, and walks you through creating an admin account.
4. Deploy
/dokpilot deploy github.com/user/app --domain app.example.com
Claude detects your stack, creates the project in Dokploy, sets up DNS + SSL, deploys, and enables auto-deploy on push. Done.
