What it does

When you ask, the agent takes your Convex project from a local build to a live, shareable web address. It deploys the backend to Convex's cloud, builds the web front end, and uploads it to a moderated publishing service that returns a public *.convex.app link. Afterward it offers to connect a custom domain.

Great for

  • Developers who built a Convex app and want a quick public demo link
  • Teams who want a repeatable, moderated way to publish a prototype
  • Anyone who wants help with the deploy steps but keeps final control over when publishing happens

Skip it if

  • Projects that must stay private, because publishing creates a public URL that anyone can open
  • Apps not built on Convex, since the workflow depends on Convex deployments
  • Production launches needing a custom review or release process beyond what this workflow covers

Try asking

  • “Publish my Convex app so I can share a live link with my team”
  • “Deploy the backend and put the web build online at a *.convex.app address”
  • “Ship the current project and then help me connect my own domain”

    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

  • Ask the agent to show you what will be deployed and confirm before it publishes, since the URL will be public.
  • Make sure your project builds locally first so the static export step succeeds.
  • The agent does not hold the deploy key; publishing goes through the control plane after moderation, so expect a review step before the link goes live.
