convex
The Convex skill is a routing index that directs users to specialized Convex development sub-skills for specific tasks. Use it when starting Convex projects or needing guidance on which specialized skill addresses your current work, such as functions, schema validation, real-time features, file storage, agents, cron jobs, security audits, or best practices. The skill helps users navigate the appropriate tool for their development needs within the Convex backend platform.

# Convex Development Skills This is an index skill for Convex development. Use specific skills for detailed guidance: ## Core Development | Skill | Command | Use When | |-------|---------|----------| | Functions | `/convex-functions` | Writing queries, mutations, actions | | Schema | `/convex-schema-validator` | Defining database schemas and validators | | Realtime | `/convex-realtime` | Building reactive subscriptions | | HTTP Actions | `/convex-http-actions` | Webhooks and HTTP endpoints | ## Data & Storage | Skill | Command | Use When | |-------|---------|----------| | File Storage | `/convex-file-storage` | File uploads, serving, storage | | Migrations | `/convex-migrations` | Schema evolution, data backfills | ## Advanced Patterns | Skill | Command | Use When | |-------|---------|----------| | Agents | `/convex-agents` | Building AI agents with tools | | Cron Jobs | `/convex-cron-jobs` | Scheduled background tasks | | Components | `/convex-component-authoring` | Reusable Convex packages | ## Security | Skill | Command | Use When | |-------|---------|----------| | Security Check | `/convex-security-check` | Quick security audit checklist | | Security Audit | `/convex-security-audit` | Deep security review | ## Guidelines | Skill | Command | Use When | |-------|---------|----------| | Best Practices | `/convex-best-practices` | General patterns and guidelines | ## Quick Start For most tasks: 1. Start with `/convex-best-practices` for general patterns 2. Use `/convex-functions` for writing backend logic 3. Use `/convex-schema-validator` for data modeling 4. Use specific skills as needed for your use case ## Documentation - Primary: https://docs.convex.dev - LLM-optimized: https://docs.convex.dev/llms.txt
Prevent feature creep when building software, apps, and AI-powered products. Use this skill when planning features, reviewing scope, building MVPs, managing backlogs, or when a user says "just one more feature." Helps developers and AI agents stay focused, ship faster, and avoid bloated products.
