SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of bootstrapping Convex so you can get a backend connected quickly, whether you are starting from scratch or integrating Convex into an existing app.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • New project scaffolding: Creates a working Convex app with the right frontend template, backend setup, and initial configuration.
  • Existing app integration: Adds Convex to React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, React Native, TanStack Start, and other frontends by wiring the provider and environment variables.
  • Development loop setup: Guides the first npx convex dev run, verifies generated types and env wiring, and prepares the project for queries, mutations, and auth-aware development.
  • Use case: A developer wants to “add a backend” to a React or Next.js app and needs the fastest path from empty project to a running Convex deployment.

Quick Start

Ask the user whether they are starting a new app or adding Convex to an existing one, then scaffold or integrate the project and verify that Convex is running correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-quickstart

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a Convex backend to an existing Next.js app?▼

To add a Convex backend to an existing Next.js app, you need to wire the Convex provider and configure environment variables. This integration process connects your application to a Convex deployment for data operations.

What is the fastest way to scaffold a new project with a Convex backend?▼

Scaffolding a new Convex project involves selecting the correct frontend template, applying the backend setup, and generating the initial configuration. This creates a working application structure ready for development.

Can I use Convex with Vue, Svelte, or React Native for app development?▼

Yes, you can integrate Convex with Vue, Svelte, and React Native. The setup process supports these frameworks by wiring the Convex client provider and configuring environment variables for backend connectivity.

How do I set up the Convex development loop and verify generated types?▼

Setting up the Convex development loop requires running the first npx convex dev command. This initializes the dev deployment, generates types, and verifies environment wiring to prepare your project for queries and mutations.

Does integrating Convex require manual environment variable configuration?▼

Yes, integrating Convex requires environment variable configuration to connect the frontend provider to the backend. Proper environment wiring is verified during the first development run to ensure the deployment is active.
