Send session for review ($quickstart-improve → $improve-convex-plugin)

$quickstart-improve was renamed to $improve-convex-plugin; this alias keeps the old name working for existing users. The behavior is identical: ship the current Codex session transcript to anteater's /review endpoint for an AI post-mortem that returns concrete findings to improve the runbook / bootstrap / skills. Prefer $improve-convex-plugin going forward.

Run it (QB_HARNESS=codex tells the helper to read the Codex transcript):

curl -fsSL "https://basic-anteater-667.convex.site/send-transcript" \
  | QB_HARNESS=codex bash -s -- --idea "<the user's note, or the app idea>"

Read the output exactly as in improve-convex-plugin:

REVIEW_DONE status=done → summarize for the user: overall outcome + summary, then the top findings by severity (each: title → target → suggestedFix), then the wins. Keep it about the system, never paste back secrets (the helper already redacts).
REVIEW_PENDING → submitted; the review is still running (the printed /review/<id> can be re-checked).
REVIEW_NO_TRANSCRIPT / REVIEW_TRANSCRIPT_TOO_SMALL → no Codex transcript found; tell the user.
REVIEW_UPLOAD_FAILED → the endpoint was unreachable (network/sandbox); report it.

convex-expert

Convex backend rules — consult this whenever writing or editing any code inside a convex/ directory (schemas, queries, mutations, actions, HTTP endpoints, crons, file storage, auth, component installation). TRIGGER before touching convex/ functions, so the code uses the object-form syntax, validators, indexes, and component patterns that generic models get wrong.

labs-quickstart

LABS — the FULL Convex quickstart experience: scaffold a running Next.js + shadcn app from one sentence with passkey (WebAuthn) sign-in and a live in-app Chef feedback panel pre-baked, build the idea live, then PUBLISH it to a public https://<app>.convex.app URL (with the user's confirmation before publishing). TRIGGER when the user runs $labs-quickstart, or asks for the full/labs quickstart, a published/public app, sign-in/passkeys, or the in-app feedback panel from scratch. For a plain local-only scaffold use $quickstart instead. SKIP when there's already a Convex project in the cwd.

quickstart

Scaffold a running Next.js + shadcn Convex app from one sentence — convex dev + next dev already running — then build the idea live (runs locally). TRIGGER when the user wants to START a new Convex app from scratch — e.g. they ran $quickstart, said 'scaffold a new app', 'build me an app where users can ___', or 'new app'. SKIP when there's already a Convex project in the cwd.
