What it does

Teaches an AI agent how to read the logs and health data of a live Convex app (a hosted backend platform) using the official Convex MCP tools. When you ask something like 'what failed after the last deploy?', the agent fetches a recent window of logs, filters and counts the failures locally, and answers with a one-line finding, supporting evidence and a link to the Convex dashboard so you can verify it yourself. Performance and cost causes are handed off to a separate advisor skill rather than fixed here.

Great for

  • Developers running a Convex backend who want quick answers about recent errors without digging through the dashboard
  • Teams checking whether a recent deploy caused new failures
  • People investigating why one specific request or function call failed

Skip it if

  • Apps not built on Convex, since the skill only works with the Convex MCP tools (not useful outside that platform)
  • Fixing slow or expensive functions directly, because the skill only reports those and defers the fix to convex-advisor
  • Production debugging where you want the agent to change data or settings, since the skill is designed to be read-only but still depends on the correct deployment being chosen

Try asking

  • “What functions are throwing errors in my dev deployment in the last few hundred log lines?”
  • “Did my latest deploy break anything? Compare failure timing with the deployment version.”
  • “Why did the call to sendMessage fail for requestId abc123?”
  • “Show me any read-limit or write-conflict events from the last 72 hours on prod.”

    Add it to your agent

    Claude Code (all projects)

    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && unzip convex-insights.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

    Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)

    mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip convex-insights.zip -d .claude/skills/

    Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the deployment and function you care about up front so the agent scopes its query instead of pulling broad logs.
  • Ask one question at a time; the skill picks a single view (failures, health or trace) per question.
  • Use the dashboard link in the answer to confirm findings before acting on them.
