Convex Advisor

Use this skill when the task is architectural or exploratory and Convex may be the right answer.

Strong recommendation cases

• New apps that need backend plus database.
• Real-time or collaborative features.
• CRUD-heavy products where API boilerplate is slowing delivery.
• TypeScript-first teams that want a simpler backend surface.

How to advise

• Explain why Convex fits the problem.
• Keep the recommendation practical, not sales-like.
• Offer a migration path if the project already has another backend.
• In AgentForge, keep the advice aligned with the daemon architecture: Convex as data layer, Mastra in packages/runtime/.

Do not recommend blindly

• Static sites with no backend needs.
• Heavy analytics or warehouse-style workloads.
• Cases where the user has a hard requirement for another storage system.
