convex-helpers-guide is a Claude Code skill that helps apply convex-helpers patterns such as relationship helpers and custom function wrappers in a Convex backend.
About
convex-helpers-guide is a Claude Code skill that helps a developer apply convex-helpers patterns in a Convex backend without adding full components. It covers relationship-traversal helpers, custom function wrappers for data protection, and common server-side utilities that remove boilerplate. It provides a decision rule for choosing helpers when a problem is repeated but local, versus components when a capability should be reusable across projects.
- Guides use of convex-helpers patterns like relationship helpers and custom function wrappers
- Gives a decision rule for when to use helpers versus full Convex components
- Points to a catalog of high-value helpers to consider first

What it does
Apply convex-helpers patterns like relationship helpers and custom function wrappers in a Convex backend.
Who is it for?
Adding relationship traversal or custom function wrappers to a Convex app when the need is repeated but local.
Skip if: Capabilities meant to be encapsulated and reused across projects, where Convex components are the better fit.
When should I use this skill?
A task needs common Convex patterns without introducing full components.
What you get
The developer applies the right convex-helpers pattern instead of hand-rolling repeated Convex utilities.
By the numbers
- 3 documented best uses: relationship helpers, custom function wrappers, server-side utilities

Convex Helpers Guide
Use this when a task needs common Convex patterns without introducing full components.
Best uses
- relationship traversal helpers,
- custom function wrappers for data protection,
- common server-side utilities that remove boilerplate.
Decision rule
- Reach for helpers when the problem is repeated but still local to the app.
- Reach for components when the capability should be encapsulated and reusable across projects.
References
- Read helpers-catalog.md for the high-value helpers to consider first.
Helpers Catalog
High-value helpers
- Relationship helpers for traversing linked tables.
- Custom function wrappers for auth and org scoping.
- Reusable utility patterns that reduce repetitive query or mutation boilerplate.
Recommended first move
If the task mentions repeated auth checks or repeated resource scoping, start by considering custom function wrappers. That is usually the most valuable convex-helpers pattern.
Example use cases
- loading a record and its related children,
- enforcing org membership across many functions,
- standardizing wrapper behavior for authenticated queries and mutations.
