SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Setting up a Convex backend for a new or existing frontend application traditionally requires manual configuration of dependencies, environment variables, provider wiring, and dev deployment connection, which is time-consuming and prone to errors for developers of all skill levels. This Skill automates and streamlines the entire onboarding process to get you building features faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • New Project Scaffolding: Generate a complete, pre-configured Convex-enabled project using official templates for React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and other frameworks, with all dependencies and config pre-wired.
  • Existing App Integration: Add Convex to an already built frontend by handling dependency installation, ConvexProvider wiring, and framework-specific environment variable configuration automatically.
  • Use Case: If you have an existing Next.js dashboard app and want to add a real-time backend for user data and analytics, this Skill handles all the setup steps so you can start writing Convex functions and UI components immediately.

Quick Start

Use the convex-quickstart skill to set up Convex for your project, whether you are starting a new app from scratch or adding Convex to an existing frontend, and confirm the backend connection is working correctly.
