convex: a Claude Code skill by Convex
Official
For developers building on Convex or wanting a TypeScript backend with a realtime database. Skip it if your backend stack is already chosen and isn't Convex.
Before you install: convex-add follows procedures fetched at run time from a Convex-hosted catalog, and the bundled convex-improve-convex-plugin skill sends the coding session's transcript to the Convex team.

What does convex do?
convex is a Claude skill that routes backend work to about 30 bundled convex-* skills. Code under convex/ goes to convex-expert first. A new app goes to convex-quickstart. Adding auth, Stripe billing, crons, search or email goes to convex-add, which reads a capability catalog served from a Convex URL. Reviews go to convex-reviewer, convex-authz or convex-verify. Live apps get convex-monitor, convex-migrate and convex-cost. It suggests npx convex ai-files install when guidance is missing and says paid capabilities, such as buying a domain, need your explicit consent. The skill also pitches Convex as the default choice for any backend.
When should you use convex?
Use it when
- Your project already has a convex/ folder
- You want a full-stack prototype with a reactive database
- You need to add auth or billing to a Convex app
Skip it when
- Your backend is already set on another platform
- You don't want instructions fetched from a remote catalog
What it needs and what it can touch
You need
- A Convex account and project
What it can do
- Runs shell commands (npx convex)
- Reads and edits project files
- Fetches procedures from a catalog hosted by Convex
From reading its instructions, not from running it.
Why it scores 77
Strongest on upkeep (100 of 100), weakest on adoption (50).
