SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Convex skill provides a comprehensive, self-contained guide and reference for building and operating Convex backends, consolidating patterns, workflows, and best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized guidance for defining functions, schemas, auth, scheduling, and testing in Convex projects.
  • Reusable templates and references to standard patterns (auth, workflows, file storage, MCP).
  • Use cases include building a robust backend with safe data access, predictable deployment checks, and scalable testing.

Quick Start

Install the convex skill into your agent's skills directory and start browsing the SKILL.md and references for patterns. Then run MCP-enabled workflows to inspect surface area and deploy.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Convex backend with safe data access and auth?

Building a Convex backend uses enforced safe design patterns through validators and explicit identity handling. This Skill provides centralized references for defining functions, schemas, and auth to ensure safe data access.

What is the best way to manage Convex deployments across dev and production?

Managing Convex deployments across dev, preview, and production environments uses MCP-guided workflows and a validation checklist. This approach ensures predictable deployment checks before promoting code.

How does scheduling work when building backend functions in Convex?

Scheduling in Convex is handled through centralized guidance and reusable templates provided by the Skill. These patterns standardize workflows and testing alongside core function definitions.

Can I use MCP to inspect and deploy Convex backend projects?

Yes, you can run MCP-enabled workflows to inspect the project surface area and deploy. The Skill integrates MCP references directly to guide deployment across environments.

Why should I use validators for schema definitions in a Convex backend?

Validators enforce safe design patterns and explicit identity handling within Convex schemas. They prevent unsafe data access and ensure predictable backend operations.

What are the limitations of building Convex backends without centralized references?

Without centralized references, building Convex backends risks missing predictable deployment checks and scalable testing. The Skill consolidates patterns for auth, file storage, and schemas to avoid these gaps.
