129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,

+ # Convex agent skills for safebyok-convex
2
+
3
+ Six of Convex's official agent skills, chosen for what this package does: author a packaged
4
+ Convex **component**, write its **schema and validators**, its **queries and mutations**, test
5
+ them with **`convex-test`**, and review them. They are scoped to `packages/safebyok-convex/`:
6
+ Claude Code loads a nested `.claude/skills/` the first time it reads or edits a file below this
7
+ package (or sooner, with `/add-dir packages/safebyok-convex`), and not before.
8
+
9
+ Nothing here is executable: every file is Markdown, outside every lint, typecheck and test glob.
10
+
11
+ ## Source
12
+
13
+ | | |
14
+ | --- | --- |
15
+ | Repository | [get-convex/agent-skills](https://github.com/get-convex/agent-skills), the source [docs.convex.dev/ai/agent-skills](https://docs.convex.dev/ai/agent-skills) names and `npx convex ai-files install` installs from |
16
+ | Commit | `191a5c33a7e7a22ec9d5ff13930f84748bbcf8f8` (2026-10-13, "Sync from convex-agents@cfccf3e"); retrieved 2026-10-14 |
17
+ | License | Apache-2.0, copied beside this file as `LICENSE-convex-agent-skills` |
18
+
19
+ Copied by hand from a clone, not by `npx skills add` or `npx convex ai-files install`: both run
20
+ code fetched at install time, and the latter also writes into a `convex/` directory and the
21
+ repo's `CLAUDE.md`. To update, clone the repository at a newer commit, diff each kept file
22
+ against it, and carry the local changes below across.
23
+
24
+ ## What is here, and what to read it for
25
+
26
+ | Skill | Files | Read it for |
27
+ | --- | --- | --- |
28
+ | `convex-create-component` | `SKILL.md`, `references/packaged-components.md`, `references/advanced-patterns.md` | Authoring the component: `defineComponent`, component-owned tables, the boundary rules (no `ctx.auth` or `process.env` inside, host IDs as strings, the host's re-export wrappers), package exports and build order, class-based wrappers like `.api({ getUserId })` |
29
+ | `convex-expert` | `SKILL.md` | Schema, validators and functions: object form, `args` and `returns` on everything, `v.union` of `v.literal`, indexes over `.filter`, bounded reads, the import table, `null` not `undefined` |
30
+ | `convex-test` | `SKILL.md` | The `convex-test` recipe: `convexTest(schema)`, `t.run`, `t.query` and `t.mutation` |
31
+ | `convex-verify` | `SKILL.md` | The `edge-runtime` vitest configuration `convex-test` needs, and proving refusals: the wrong user, no user, data scoped to its owner |
32
+ | `convex-reviewer` | `SKILL.md` | A review pass over component functions: auth on every function, indexes, validators |
33
+ | `convex-docs` | `SKILL.md` | Pinning the installed `convex` version and checking its `.d.ts` before trusting memory or a doc page |
34
+
35
+ Not covered by any Convex skill, so read the sources instead:
36
+
37
+ * **The client** (`ConvexClient`, `ConvexReactClient`, `onUpdate`, `watchQuery`):
38
+ [JavaScript clients](https://docs.convex.dev/client/javascript/overview.md),
39
+ [ConvexClient](https://docs.convex.dev/api/classes/browser.ConvexClient.md),
40
+ [ConvexReactClient](https://docs.convex.dev/api/classes/react.ConvexReactClient.md), and the
41
+ installed types, `node_modules/convex/dist/esm-types/browser/simple_client.d.ts` and
42
+ `.../react/client.d.ts`.
43
+ * **`ConvexError` and its `data`**: [Application Errors](https://docs.convex.dev/functions/error-handling/application-errors.md)
44
+ and `node_modules/convex/dist/esm-types/values/errors.d.ts`.
45
+ * **Transactions and serializability**: [OCC and Atomicity](https://docs.convex.dev/database/advanced/occ.md).
46
+ * **Components and testing them**: [Authoring Components](https://docs.convex.dev/components/authoring.md),
47
+ [convex-test](https://docs.convex.dev/testing/convex-test.md), and `node_modules/convex-test/README.md`.
48
+ * Convex's own **guidelines** (`https://version.convex.dev/v1/guidelines`, what `ai-files`
49
+ installs) are dense and current, but carry no license, so they are not copied here.
50
+
51
+ ## Local changes
52
+
53
+ Apache-2.0 asks that changed files say so: each changed file opens with a note pointing here.
54
+
55
+ * `convex-create-component/SKILL.md`: the shape is settled as packaged, so the "ask the user"
56
+ step, the local and hybrid rows and references, and the local default are gone; `npx convex
57
+ dev` is replaced by codegen and `pnpm justify` (validation step, checklist), with "stop and ask
58
+ the Coach" for a login or a deployment; `convex-helpers` is marked as needing the Coach's yes.
59
+ * `convex-create-component/references/advanced-patterns.md`: a handler that used `args` without
60
+ taking it now takes it; a note says the example's read of an app-owned table is illustration only.
61
+ * `convex-create-component/references/packaged-components.md`: the scaffolder (`npx
62
+ create-convex@latest --component`) and the build flow's `npx convex dev
63
+ --typecheck-components` are gone, with a note that that step is the Coach's.
64
+ * `convex-expert/SKILL.md`: the self-verify rule that pushed to a deployment (and could set
65
+ `CONVEX_AGENT_MODE=anonymous`, rebinding `.env.local`) is replaced by codegen and `pnpm
66
+ justify`; the step steering LLM features to `@convex-dev/agent` and `@convex-dev/workflow` is
67
+ gone; the `v.id` rule, the internal-by-default rule and the `convex/`-directory rule say how
68
+ they read inside a component.
69
+ * `convex-verify/SKILL.md`: the steps that emitted findings to a "bus" whose schema is not in the
70
+ repository, and the hand-offs to skills not installed here, are gone; a note says how
71
+ identities reach a component (the host's `getUserId`) and that tests follow `STYLE.md`.
72
+ * `convex-reviewer/SKILL.md`: a note maps its `ctx.auth` check onto this package's `getUserId`.
73
+
74
+ `convex-test/SKILL.md` and `convex-docs/SKILL.md` are unchanged.
75
+
76
+ ## Left out
77
+
78
+ From `convex-create-component`: `references/local-components.md` and
79
+ `references/hybrid-components.md` (this is a packaged component), `agents/openai.yaml` (Codex
80
+ metadata), `assets/icon.svg` (an icon).
81
+
82
+ The other 27 skills at this commit:
83
+
84
+ * `convex`: a router and product pitch; it has the agent fetch and follow instructions served from a Convex site.
85
+ * `convex-add`: adds capabilities to an app from a remote catalog, installing as it goes.
86
+ * `convex-advisor`: performance findings from a live deployment's insights.
87
+ * `convex-agent`: AI agents and RAG.
88
+ * `convex-auth`: auth providers; generates keys and sets deployment env vars.
89
+ * `convex-authz`: rewrites an app's authorization around its users table; this package has neither.
90
+ * `convex-backup`: deployment backups and restores.
91
+ * `convex-billing`: Stripe billing over HTTP actions.
92
+ * `convex-cost`: spend analysis of a live deployment.
93
+ * `convex-crons`: scheduled jobs.
94
+ * `convex-deploy-guard`: deployment targeting.
95
+ * `convex-design`: a product pitch and app scaffolding, with the same push-to-deploy rule.
96
+ * `convex-domains`: DNS and custom domains.
97
+ * `convex-env`: deployment env vars.
98
+ * `convex-explain-app`: explains an existing app.
99
+ * `convex-improve-convex-plugin`: pipes a remote script into a shell and uploads the session transcript.
100
+ * `convex-insights`: logs and health of a live deployment.
101
+ * `convex-launch-readiness`: an aggregate of audits left out here.
102
+ * `convex-migrate`: app data migrations.
103
+ * `convex-migrate-rehearse`: production migration rehearsals.
104
+ * `convex-monitor`: watches a live deployment, through a tool that does not exist here.
105
+ * `convex-optimize`: an app audit and upgrade workflow.
106
+ * `convex-quickstart`: app scaffolding.
107
+ * `convex-seed`: seeds a deployment's data.
108
+ * `convex-self-heal`: production error triage into PRs.
109
+ * `convex-sentinel`: production error capture.
110
+ * `convex-suggest`: suggests `@convex-dev` components, through a detector not in the repository.
111
+
112
+ Also left out: Convex's plugins for Claude Code
113
+ ([get-convex/convex-backend-skill](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-backend-skill)), Cursor
114
+ and Codex. Their skills are the same generated text, and they add session hooks that run code,
115
+ telemetry on by default, a remote freshness check, background log monitors and an MCP server.

+ Create reusable Convex components with clear boundaries and a small app-facing
19
+ API.
20
+
21
+ ## When to Use
22
+
23
+ - Creating a new Convex component in an existing app
24
+ - Extracting reusable backend logic into a component
25
+ - Building a third-party integration that should own its own tables and
26
+ workflows
27
+ - Packaging Convex functionality for reuse across multiple apps
28
+
29
+ ## When Not to Use
30
+
31
+ - One-off business logic that belongs in the main app

+ - Thin utilities that do not need Convex tables or functions
33
+ - App-level orchestration that should stay in `convex/`
34
+ - Cases where a normal TypeScript library is enough
35
+
36
+ ## Workflow
37
+
38
+ 1. Confirm what you are building against `whiteboard/20261014-convex/design.md`
39
+ and the sprint plan, rather than asking afresh.
40
+ 2. Read `references/packaged-components.md`: the shape is settled (below).
41
+ 3. Decide whether a component is justified. Prefer normal app code or a regular
42
+ library if the feature does not need isolated tables, backend functions, or
43
+ reusable persistent state.
44
+ 4. Make a short plan for:
45
+ - what tables the component owns
46
+ - what public functions it exposes
47
+ - what data must be passed in from the app (auth, env vars, parent IDs)
48
+ - what stays in the app as wrappers or HTTP mounts
49
+ 5. Create the component structure with `convex.config.ts`, `schema.ts`, and
50
+ function files.
51
+ 6. Implement functions using the component's own `./_generated/server` imports,
52
+ not the app's generated files.
53
+ 7. Wire the component into the app with `app.use(...)`. If the app does not
54
+ already have `convex/convex.config.ts`, create it.
55
+ 8. Call the component from the app through `components.<name>` using
56
+ `ctx.runQuery`, `ctx.runMutation`, or `ctx.runAction`.
57
+ 9. If React clients, HTTP callers, or public APIs need access, create wrapper
58
+ functions in the app instead of exposing component functions directly.
59
+ 10. Run codegen (see Validation) and `pnpm justify` inside
60
+ `packages/safebyok-convex/`, and fix codegen, type, or boundary issues
61
+ before finishing.
62
+
63
+ ## Choose the Shape
64
+
65
+ | Goal | Shape | Reference |
66
+ | ---------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------- |
67
+ | Publish or share across apps | Packaged | `references/packaged-components.md` |
68
+
69
+ This package is a packaged component. Upstream's local and hybrid references
70
+ were left out of this install.
71
+
72
+ ## Default Approach
73
+
74
+ Upstream's default, a local component inside one app, does not apply here. The
75
+ skeleton below uses the local layout (`convex/components/<componentName>/`) only
76
+ to illustrate; the parts carry over to a package unchanged:
77
+
78
+ - Define it with `defineComponent(...)` in its own `convex.config.ts`
79
+ - The host installs it from its `convex/convex.config.ts` with `app.use(...)`
80
+ - Codegen generates the component's own `_generated/` files
81
+
82
+ ## Component Skeleton
83
+
84
+ A minimal local component with a table and two functions, plus the app wiring.
85
+
86
+ ```ts
87
+ // convex/components/notifications/convex.config.ts
88
+ import { defineComponent } from "convex/server";
89
+
90
+ export default defineComponent("notifications");
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ```ts
94
+ // convex/components/notifications/schema.ts
95
+ import { defineSchema, defineTable } from "convex/server";
96
+ import { v } from "convex/values";
97
+
98
+ export default defineSchema({
99
+ notifications: defineTable({
100
+ userId: v.string(),
101
+ message: v.string(),
102
+ read: v.boolean(),
103
+ }).index("by_user_read", ["userId", "read"]),
104
+ });
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ ```ts
108
+ // convex/components/notifications/lib.ts
109
+ import { v } from "convex/values";
110
+ import { mutation, query } from "./_generated/server.js";
111
+
112
+ export const send = mutation({
113
+ args: { userId: v.string(), message: v.string() },
114
+ returns: v.id("notifications"),
115
+ handler: async (ctx, args) => {
116
+ return await ctx.db.insert("notifications", {
117
+ userId: args.userId,
118
+ message: args.message,
119
+ read: false,
120
+ });
121
+ },
122
+ });
123
+
124
+ export const listUnread = query({
125
+ args: { userId: v.string() },
126
+ returns: v.array(
127
+ v.object({
128
+ _id: v.id("notifications"),
129
+ _creationTime: v.number(),
130
+ userId: v.string(),
131
+ message: v.string(),
132
+ read: v.boolean(),
133
+ }),
134
+ ),
135
+ handler: async (ctx, args) => {
136
+ return await ctx.db
137
+ .query("notifications")
138
+ .withIndex("by_user_read", (q) =>
139
+ q.eq("userId", args.userId).eq("read", false),
140
+ )
141
+ .collect();
142
+ },
143
+ });
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ ```ts
147
+ // convex/convex.config.ts
148
+ import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
149
+ import notifications from "./components/notifications/convex.config.js";
150
+
151
+ const app = defineApp();
152
+ app.use(notifications);
153
+
154
+ export default app;
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+ ```ts
158
+ // convex/notifications.ts (app-side wrapper)
159
+ import { v } from "convex/values";
160
+ import { mutation, query } from "./_generated/server";
161
+ import { components } from "./_generated/api";
162
+ import { getAuthUserId } from "@convex-dev/auth/server";
163
+
164
+ export const sendNotification = mutation({
165
+ args: { message: v.string() },
166
+ returns: v.null(),
167
+ handler: async (ctx, args) => {
168
+ const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
169
+ if (!userId) throw new Error("Not authenticated");
170
+
171
+ await ctx.runMutation(components.notifications.lib.send, {
172
+ userId,
173
+ message: args.message,
174
+ });
175
+ return null;
176
+ },
177
+ });
178
+
179
+ export const myUnread = query({
180
+ args: {},
181
+ handler: async (ctx) => {
182
+ const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
183
+ if (!userId) throw new Error("Not authenticated");
184
+
185
+ return await ctx.runQuery(components.notifications.lib.listUnread, {
186
+ userId,
187
+ });
188
+ },
189
+ });
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ Note the reference path shape: a function in
193
+ `convex/components/notifications/lib.ts` is called as
194
+ `components.notifications.lib.send` from the app.
195
+
196
+ ## Critical Rules
197
+
198
+ - Keep authentication in the app, because `ctx.auth` is not available inside
199
+ components.
200
+ - Keep environment access in the app, because component functions cannot read
201
+ `process.env`.
202
+ - Pass parent app IDs across the boundary as strings, because `Id` types become
203
+ plain strings in the app-facing `ComponentApi`.
204
+ - Do not use `v.id("parentTable")` for app-owned tables inside component args or
205
+ schema, because the component has no access to the app's table namespace.
206
+ - Import `query`, `mutation`, and `action` from the component's own
207
+ `./_generated/server`, not the app's generated files.
208
+ - Do not expose component functions directly to clients. Create app wrappers
209
+ when client access is needed, because components are internal and need
210
+ auth/env wiring the app provides.
211
+ - If the component defines HTTP handlers, mount the routes in the app's
212
+ `convex/http.ts`, because components cannot register their own HTTP routes.
213
+ - If the component needs pagination, use `paginator` from `convex-helpers`
214
+ instead of built-in `.paginate()`, because `.paginate()` does not work across
215
+ the component boundary. (`convex-helpers` is not a dependency of this
216
+ package, and adding it needs the Coach's yes.)
217
+ - Define indexes for queried fields instead of using Convex `.filter()` after a
218
+ database query.
219
+ - Add `args` and `returns` validators to all public component functions, because
220
+ the component boundary requires explicit type contracts.
221
+
222
+ ## Patterns
223
+
224
+ ### Authentication and environment access
225
+
226
+ ```ts
227
+ // Bad: component code cannot rely on app auth or env
228
+ const identity = await ctx.auth.getUserIdentity();
229
+ const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
230
+ ```
231
+
232
+ ```ts
233
+ // Good: the app resolves auth and env, then passes explicit values
234
+ const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
235
+ if (!userId) throw new Error("Not authenticated");
236
+
237
+ await ctx.runAction(components.translator.translate, {
238
+ userId,
239
+ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
240
+ text: args.text,
241
+ });
242
+ ```
243
+
244
+ ### Client-facing API
245
+
246
+ ```ts
247
+ // Bad: assuming a component function is directly callable by clients
248
+ export const send = components.notifications.send;
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ ```ts
252
+ // Good: re-export through an app mutation or query
253
+ export const sendNotification = mutation({
254
+ args: { message: v.string() },
255
+ returns: v.null(),
256
+ handler: async (ctx, args) => {
257
+ const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
258
+ if (!userId) throw new Error("Not authenticated");
259
+
260
+ await ctx.runMutation(components.notifications.lib.send, {
261
+ userId,
262
+ message: args.message,
263
+ });
264
+ return null;
265
+ },
266
+ });
267
+ ```
268
+
269
+ ### IDs across the boundary
270
+
271
+ ```ts
272
+ // Bad: parent app table IDs are not valid component validators
273
+ args: {
274
+ userId: v.id("users"),
275
+ }
276
+ ```
277
+
278
+ ```ts
279
+ // Good: treat parent-owned IDs as strings at the boundary
280
+ args: {
281
+ userId: v.string(),
282
+ }
283
+ ```
284
+
285
+ ### Advanced Patterns
286
+
287
+ For additional patterns including function handles for callbacks, deriving
288
+ validators from schema, static configuration with a globals table, and
289
+ class-based client wrappers, see `references/advanced-patterns.md`.
290
+
291
+ ## Validation
292
+
293
+ Try validation in this order:
294
+
295
+ 1. `npx convex codegen --component-dir <path to the component>`
296
+ 2. `npx convex codegen`
297
+
298
+ Never `npx convex dev` here: it provisions or pushes to a deployment.
299
+
300
+ Important:
301
+
302
+ - Fresh repos may fail these commands until `CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT` is configured.
303
+ - Until codegen runs, component-local `./_generated/*` imports and app-side
304
+ `components.<name>...` references will not typecheck.
305
+ - If validation blocks on Convex login or deployment setup, stop and ask the
306
+ user for that exact step instead of guessing.
307
+
