Set up Convex authentication with proper user management, identity mapping, and access control patterns. Use when implementing auth flows.

Guide to using Convex components for feature encapsulation. Learn about sibling components, creating your own, and when to use components vs monolithic code.

Discover and use convex-helpers utilities for relationships, filtering, sessions, custom functions, and more. Use when you need pre-built Convex patterns.

Initialize a new Convex backend from scratch with schema, auth, and basic CRUD operations. Use when starting a new project or adding Convex to an existing app.

Create Convex queries, mutations, and actions with proper validation, authentication, and error handling. Use when implementing new API endpoints.

Plan and execute Convex schema migrations safely, including adding fields, creating tables, and data transformations. Use when schema changes affect existing data.

Design and generate Convex database schemas with proper validation, indexes, and relationships. Use when creating schema.ts or modifying table definitions.

Design, implement, validate, and calibrate a new eval for the convex-evals suite. Use when the user wants to add a new eval, create an eval, test a new Convex concept, or expand eval coverage.

Add a new AI model to the eval runner, update the manual eval workflow, push changes, and trigger baseline eval runs. Use when the user wants to add a new model, onboard a model, or mentions a new model name/link to add to the leaderboard.

Investigate a single failing eval from the convex-evals system. Use when the user shares a visualizer URL pointing to a specific eval, asks about a specific failing eval, or references a specific eval ID.

Analyze all failures in a convex-evals run, spawning parallel sub-agents to investigate each failure and producing a report with classifications and recommendations. Use when the user asks to analyze an entire run, review all failures in a run, or wants to understand why a model scored poorly.

Empirically verify guideline changes by running before/after eval runs across multiple models and ensuring no regressions. Use when proposing or reviewing changes to runner/models/guidelines.ts, or when the user asks to validate guidelines.

Analyze guideline ablation experiment results to determine which guideline sections are essential, marginal, or dispensable. Use when the user asks to analyze ablation results, interpret guideline compaction data, or wants to know which guidelines to keep for AGENTS.md.

Static analysis checklist for Convex backends covering 72 rules across security, performance, correctness, schema, architecture, configuration, and client-side patterns. Use when writing, reviewing, or auditing Convex code. Trigger on mentions of "convex-doctor", "health score", "static analysis", "anti-patterns", "audit convex", or before shipping backend changes.

Patterns for scaling read-heavy Convex apps to millions of users. Use when optimizing bandwidth, reducing query costs, fixing slow queries, creating digest tables, replacing reactive subscriptions with one-shot fetches, adding compound indexes, debouncing writes, rate-controlling backfills, or running npx convex insights. Trigger when users mention "scale", "bandwidth", "performance", "optimize", "slow queries", "expensive queries", "digest table", "denormalize", or "thundering herd" in the context of Convex.

Convex UI component patterns from the live Storybook preview. Use when building React components, forms, modals, navigation, feedback states, or app layouts that should match the current Convex design system. Applies to both shared primitives and dashboard style product UI.

Guide for when to use and when not to use return validators in Convex functions. Use this skill whenever the user is writing Convex queries, mutations, or actions and needs guidance on return value validation. Also trigger when the user asks about Convex type safety, runtime validation, AI-generated Convex code, Convex AI rules, Convex security best practices, or when they're debugging return type issues in Convex functions. Trigger this skill when users mention "validators", "returns", "return type", or "exact types" in the context of Convex development. Also trigger when writing or reviewing Convex AI rules or prompts that instruct LLMs how to write Convex code.

Set up and configure WorkOS AuthKit authentication with Convex backend. Use when integrating AuthKit, configuring JWT providers, setting up environment variables, or implementing sign in and sign out flows with React and Vite. Supports Netlify deployment.

Debug and troubleshoot WorkOS AuthKit authentication issues with Convex. Use when authentication fails, JWT validation errors occur, user identity returns null, email claims are missing, admin access checks fail, or sign in button does not work. Supports Netlify deployment.

Audits and optimizes Convex application performance across hot-path reads, write contention, subscription cost, and function limits. Use this skill when a Convex feature is slow or expensive, npx convex insights shows high bytes or documents read, OCC conflict errors or mutation retries appear, subscriptions or UI updates are costly, functions hit execution or transaction limits, or the user mentions performance, latency, read amplification, or invalidation problems in a Convex app.

Designs and builds Convex components with isolated tables, clear boundaries, and app-facing wrappers. Use this skill when creating a new Convex component, extracting reusable backend logic into a component, building a third-party integration that owns its own tables, packaging Convex functionality for reuse, or when the user mentions defineComponent, app.use, ComponentApi, ctx.runQuery/runMutation across component boundaries, or wants to separate concerns into isolated Convex modules.

Plans and executes safe Convex schema and data migrations using the widen-migrate-narrow workflow and the @convex-dev/migrations component. Use this skill when a deployment fails schema validation, existing documents need backfilling, fields need adding or removing or changing type, tables need splitting or merging, or a zero-downtime migration strategy is needed. Also use when the user mentions breaking schema changes, multi-deploy rollouts, or data transformations on existing Convex tables.

Initializes a new Convex project from scratch or adds Convex to an existing app. Use this skill when starting a new project with Convex, scaffolding with npm create convex@latest, adding Convex to an existing React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or other frontend, wiring up ConvexProvider, configuring environment variables for the deployment URL, or running npx convex dev for the first time, even if the user just says "set up Convex" or "add a backend."

Sets up Convex authentication with user management, identity mapping, and access control. Use this skill when adding login or signup to a Convex app, configuring Convex Auth, Clerk, WorkOS AuthKit, Auth0, or custom JWT providers, wiring auth.config.ts, protecting queries and mutations with ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(), creating a users table with identity mapping, or setting up role-based access control, even if the user just says "add auth" or "make it require login."

Audits and optimizes Convex application performance across hot-path reads, write contention, subscription cost, and function limits. Use this skill when a Convex feature is slow or expensive, npx convex insights shows high bytes or documents read, OCC conflict errors or mutation retries appear, subscriptions or UI updates are costly, functions hit execution or transaction limits, or the user mentions performance, latency, read amplification, or invalidation problems in a Convex app.

Plans Convex schema and data migrations with widen-migrate-narrow and @convex-dev/migrations. Use for breaking schema changes, backfills, table reshaping, or zero-downtime rollouts.

Creates or adds Convex to an app. Use for new Convex projects, npm create convex@latest, frontend setup, env vars, or the first npx convex dev run.

Design and build reactive, type-safe, production-grade backends on Convex. Covers schema, queries/mutations/actions, indexes, auth, file storage, scheduling, real-time multiplayer, mobile backends, and LLM/agent workflows on Convex's one-platform stack.
