Using the Claude app rather than Claude Code? You can add a skill there too. How to add it in the app
What does convex-create-component do?
convex-create-component is a Claude skill that builds Convex components: backend modules that own their tables and expose a small API to the app. Claude first asks what you are building, picks a local, packaged or hybrid shape, reads one matching reference file, and checks whether a component is needed at all. It then plans the tables, public functions and data passed in from the app, creates convex.config.ts, schema.ts and function files under convex/components/, and wires them in with app.use(). Auth and environment variables stay in the app, which calls the component through wrapper functions. It finishes by running npx convex dev and fixing codegen or type errors.
When should you use convex-create-component?
Use it when
- You want a notifications module reused across apps
- You are packaging a Convex integration for npm
- Component boundaries in your Convex app are unclear
Skip it when
- The logic is one-off and belongs in the main app
- Your backend does not use Convex
What it needs and what it can touch
You need
- A Convex project
- Node.js
What it can do
- Creates and edits project files
- Runs shell commands (npx convex dev)
From reading its instructions, not from running it.
