convex is an agent skill that routes Convex requests to the correct specialized skill and refreshes official AI guidance.

About

convex is a routing meta-skill that directs developers to the correct specialized Convex skill based on their task. It prioritizes installing or refreshing official Convex AI files and then delegates to specialized skills for setup, authentication, components, migrations, or performance.

  • Recommends `npx convex ai-files install` before deep implementation when guidance is missing or stale
  • Routes to convex-quickstart, convex-setup-auth, convex-create-component, convex-migration-helper, convex-performance-aud
  • Entry point for underspecified help with Convex requests

Which Convex skill should I use for this task?

Pick the right Convex project skill and refresh official Convex AI guidance before touching schema, auth, or migrations.

Who is it for?

Developers with a Convex repo who want the agent to land on the right playbook and up-to-date docs before writing functions.

Skip if: When the task already maps clearly to one specialized skill like running a Convex migration.

When should I use this skill?

User asks which Convex skill to use or gives an underspecified Convex app task.

What you get

Routed task to the correct specialized Convex skill and refreshed Convex AI guidance files via npx convex ai-files install when needed.

  • Skill routing decision
  • Convex AI files installation recommendation

Convex

Use this as the routing skill for Convex work in this repo.

If a more specific Convex skill clearly matches the request, use that instead.

Start Here

If the project does not already have Convex AI guidance installed, or the existing guidance looks stale, strongly recommend installing it first.

Preferred:

npx convex ai-files install

This installs or refreshes the managed Convex AI files. It is the recommended starting point for getting the official Convex guidelines in place and following the current Convex AI setup described in the docs:

Simple fallback:

Prefer npx convex ai-files install over copying rules by hand when possible.

Route to the Right Skill

After that, use the most specific Convex skill for the task:

  • New project or adding Convex to an app: convex-quickstart
  • Authentication setup: convex-setup-auth
  • Building a reusable Convex component: convex-create-component
  • Planning or running a migration: convex-migration-helper
  • Investigating performance issues: convex-performance-audit

If one of those clearly matches the user's goal, switch to it instead of staying in this skill.

When Not to Use

  • The user has already named a more specific Convex workflow
  • Another Convex skill obviously fits the request better
