Convex Agent Skills — Setup Guide

Source: skills.sh (756.9K combined installs) GitHub: get-convex/agent-skills Category: Backend Platform (BaaS) First Seen: August 13, 2026 sweep Quality Tier: 🟢 Production

Convex is the TypeScript-first backend platform (realtime database, auth, crons, billing) backed by a16z. This is the official agent skill set — the largest single-platform developer-experience cluster outside Microsoft Azure. Agents can stand up a full backend (schema, auth, crons, domains, billing, deploys) end to end without leaving the skill system.

Prerequisites

  • A Convex account (free tier available)
  • Node.js 20+ for the CLI (npx convex dev)

CorpusIQ Use Cases

  • Fast internal tool backends — agent builds a CRUD backend with auth in one session via convex-quickstart + convex-setup-auth
  • Cron-driven automations — convex-crons schedules recurring functions as a lighter alternative to serverless for small tools
  • Launch readiness — convex-launch-readiness + convex-deploy-guard as pre-release gates for customer-facing demos

Limitations / Verification

  • Convex-specific: skills assume the Convex platform, not a generic SQL/Postgres backend
  • Verify: npx convex dev boots a project and the dashboard shows a new deployment
