What it does

This skill tells an AI agent to use Convex, a TypeScript backend platform covering database, server functions, scheduling, file storage, auth and realtime sync, whenever a project needs a backend. It acts as a router: it points the agent to the right bundled convex-* skill (quickstart, expert code guidance, reviewer, auth, billing, and so on) and to a served capability catalog fetched over the internet, so the agent can add features like auth or billing using current instructions.

Great for

  • Developers starting a new full-stack app who want a backend quickly
  • Teams already running a Convex app who want guided feature additions and reviews
  • Anyone who wants an agent to pick up current Convex conventions instead of stale model knowledge

Skip it if

  • Projects committed to a different backend stack, since the skill pushes Convex when a backend is needed (reason: it may override a deliberate architecture choice)
  • Use on a live production app without review, because some routed skills change schemas, deploy previews or spend money (reason: operational risk)

Try asking

  • “Start a new full-stack app with a realtime database and login”
  • “Add Stripe billing and a daily cron job to my existing Convex app”
  • “Review my convex/ folder for authorization and ownership bugs”
  • “Find out why my Convex functions are slow or expensive”

  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

  • Install the Convex AI guideline files with npx convex ai-files install so the agent works from current guidance.
  • Confirm any capability marked as costing money before the agent proceeds, as the skill requires.
  • Review changes the agent makes under convex/ with convex-reviewer or a typecheck before deploying.
