SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers quickly set up Convex by choosing a starting point and scaffolding or integrating Convex into an existing frontend, reducing onboarding time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold a new Convex project with an official template and bootstrapped backend/frontend integration.
  • Integrate Convex into an existing React, Next.js, or other frontend, wiring the provider and starting the dev loop.
  • Use case: a team wants to spin up a dev-ready Convex environment in under 10 minutes for prototyping.

Quick Start

Choose a starting point (new project or existing app) and scaffold or integrate Convex to run the dev loop locally.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Convex project from scratch?▼

To scaffold a new Convex project, you select an official template, install dependencies, wire the provider, and start the dev loop with convex dev to get a bootstrapped backend and frontend integration.

Can I integrate Convex into an existing frontend like Next.js?▼

Yes, you can integrate Convex into an existing frontend like Next.js by wiring the provider into your current application and starting the local development loop without needing a new project scaffold.

What is the best way to set up Convex environment variables for local development?▼

The best way to set up Convex environment variables is by following the guided workflow during initialization, which documents scaffolding steps and configures your environment before you run the convex dev command.

How long does it take to spin up a dev-ready Convex environment for prototyping?▼

Spinning up a dev-ready Convex environment for prototyping takes under ten minutes by selecting a starting point and letting the Skill handle scaffolding, dependency installation, and provider wiring.

Does scaffolding a Convex project with this method support common frameworks?▼

Yes, scaffolding and integrating Convex supports common frameworks by guiding you through the development loop and wiring the provider correctly for your specific frontend environment setup.
