SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Convex setup is slow and error-prone when you need to scaffold the backend, wire the provider, set the right environment variables, and verify the schema and types end-to-end.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize a new Convex project quickly using the official scaffolding tool with a suitable frontend/backend template.
  • Add Convex to an existing app by installing the package, provisioning a local deployment, pushing Convex code, and validating schema/types.
  • Run a reliable dev loop that provisions once (headless/agent-friendly) and then starts the watcher and frontend so the user can iterate immediately.

Example: You’re starting a new React or Next.js app and want a working Convex database with an initial query/mutation loop that you can test right away without wrestling with setup prompts.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to: scaffold or integrate Convex, run the one-shot setup to provision and validate locally, then guide you to start the watcher and confirm the app works.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-quickstart

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Convex backend for a new React or Next.js app?▼

To set up a Convex backend, you initialize a project using the official scaffolding tool, run a one-shot headless provisioning command, and wire the ConvexProvider into your frontend to enable immediate local development.

Can I add Convex to an existing SvelteKit or Vue frontend project?▼

Yes, you can integrate Convex into an existing SvelteKit or Vue project by installing the package, provisioning a local deployment, wiring the ConvexProvider with the correct framework URL environment variable, and validating generated types.

What is the best way to run a local dev loop with Convex schema validation?▼

The best way to run a local dev loop is to execute a one-shot setup command to provision and validate locally, then start the watcher and frontend simultaneously to iterate immediately with generated types and schema validation.

Why does my Convex setup fail with provider or environment variable errors?▼

Convex setup often fails if the ConvexProvider is not wired with the correct framework URL environment variable, or if the initial headless provisioning step using npx convex dev --once was not executed properly.

Does the Convex scaffolding process support anonymous agent mode for automated setup?▼

Yes, the Convex scaffolding process supports anonymous agent mode by executing npx convex dev --once with CONVEX_AGENT_MODE=anonymous, allowing you to provision a local deployment headlessly without interactive prompts.

Do I need to manually verify generated types after integrating Convex into my app?▼

You need to verify generated types and schema validation after integrating Convex to ensure end-to-end local development works correctly and your frontend queries and mutations are properly typed.
