Umbrella skill for all Convex development patterns. Routes to specific skills like convex-functions, convex-realtime, convex-agents, etc.

Convex Start here, pick the matching skill below, and load it. If nothing matches, the rules at the bottom still apply. Pick a skill Skill Load when convex best practices general patterns, project structure, "is this the Convex way" convex functions queries, mutations, actions, internal functions, error handling convex schema validator tables, indexes, validators, v. types, schema changes convex realtime useQuery, optimistic updates, pagination, presence, rerender churn convex http actions webhooks, REST endpoints, convex/http.ts , Stripe or Clerk callbacks convex file storage uploads, upload URLs, serving files, storage cleanup convex cron jobs crons.ts, runAfter, runAt, batching, a cron that is not firing convex migrations backfills, renaming fields, schema evolution with live data convex agents AI agents, threads, tools, streaming, RAG with @convex dev/agent convex component authoring building a reusable component package, defineComponent convex security check fast pre ship audit: auth on public functions, exposed data convex security audit deep review: authorization model, injection, rate limits, secrets avoid feature creep scope pushback, MVP cuts, "just one more feature" project workflow multi step tasks, PRDs in prds/, task.md, plans for review project docs syncing task.md, changelog.md, files.md with shipped code git safety revert, undo, reset, checkout, clean, stash, force push Two skills often apply at once. Load the domain skill for the code and the process skill for the workflow, for example convex functions plus project workflow. Rules that hold everywhere Every function declares args and returns validators, including internal ones. Read through withIndex . .filter() on a table scan is a bug waiting for data. Mutations are idempotent. Check current state, return early when there is nothing to do. Schedule and cron only internal. functions. Never api. . Never call Date.now() inside a query. Pass time in as an argument. Use npx convex dev for development. Do not run npx convex deploy unless asked. Fetch https://docs.convex.dev/llms.txt before trusting memory about an API. Do not Edit anything under convex/ generated/ . Use crons.daily , crons.hourly , or crons.weekly . Use crons.interval or crons.cron . Put "use node" in a file that also exports queries or mutations. Run git commands that discard work without loading git safety first. Docs https://docs.convex.dev/llms.txt https://docs.convex.dev/understanding/best practices https://docs.convex.dev/functions
