Umbrella skill routing to specialized Convex development patterns and tools.
What is convex?
This is an index skill for Convex development that routes to specific sub-skills for different aspects of backend development. Use it to navigate to the right skill for your task, whether you're writing functions, managing data, building realtime features, or implementing security.
- Routes to specialized skills for Convex functions, queries, mutations, and actions
- Guides schema definition and data validation patterns
- Connects to realtime subscription and HTTP endpoint skills
- Provides access to file storage, migrations, and scheduled job patterns
- Includes AI agent tooling and reusable component authoring
- Offers security auditing and best practices guidance

convex FAQ
This is an index skill that routes you to specialized Convex development skills. It helps you find the right tool for your specific task rather than providing direct implementation guidance.
Use this skill to navigate and understand which sub-skill you need. Once you identify your task, switch to the specific skill (like `/convex-functions` or `/convex-realtime`) for detailed guidance.
The primary documentation is at https://docs.convex.dev. An LLM-optimized version is available at https://docs.convex.dev/llms.txt.
Start with `/convex-best-practices` for general patterns and guidelines, then use `/convex-functions` for writing backend logic and `/convex-schema-validator` for data modeling.
