SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex development often suffers from fragmentation across modules and inconsistent practices; this skill provides a single, umbrella reference to standard patterns and routes to specific sub-skills for focused guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralizes Convex best practices for core building blocks: Functions, Schema, Realtime, and HTTP Actions.
  • Defines data/storage patterns, migrations, and advanced patterns (agents, cron, components) to support scalable Convex apps.
  • Use Case: A team starting a new Convex project can align on a unified pattern library and navigate to sub-skills for implementation details.

Quick Start

Open the Core Development section and begin following the best-practice guidelines to scaffold your Convex backend.

FAQPage Schema
What are the best practices for structuring a Convex backend?

Convex backend best practices standardize core building blocks like Functions, Schema, Realtime, and HTTP Actions. This unified pattern library centralizes development guidelines to prevent fragmentation and inconsistent practices across project modules.

How do I handle data storage and migrations in Convex?

Data storage and migrations in Convex follow standardized patterns defined within this skill. It provides specific guidance on data storage architectures and migration strategies to support scalable Convex applications.

Can I use this to implement advanced patterns like agents and cron in Convex?

Yes, advanced Convex patterns including agents, cron jobs, and components are supported. The skill defines these specific use cases to guide the construction of scalable Convex-powered backends with consistent architectural practices.

Does this Convex guide cover security use cases?

Security use cases are directly addressed within this Convex development skill. It applies standardized patterns to core development, data storage, advanced patterns, and security configurations to guide backend construction.

What is the best way to align a team on a new Convex project?

Aligning a team on a new Convex project requires a unified pattern library. This skill serves as an umbrella reference, routing developers to specific sub-skills for focused implementation details and consistent backend scaffolding.
