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.

Installation¶

npx skills add get-convex/agent-skills

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

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

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
