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.
