Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Routes general Convex requests to the right project skill. Use when the user asks which Convex skill to use or gives an underspecified Convex app task.

Key capabilities

  • Route general Convex requests to specific project skills
  • Recommend installing Convex AI guidance files
  • Direct users to `convex-quickstart` for new projects
  • Guide users to `convex-setup-auth` for authentication
  • Point to `convex-create-component` for reusable components
  • Suggest `convex-migration-helper` for migrations

How it works

The skill acts as a router for Convex-related tasks, directing users to more specific Convex skills based on their request or recommending the installation of Convex AI guidance files.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
General Convex task or query about Convex skills
You get back
Recommendation for the most appropriate Convex skill or action

When to use convex

  • Set up Convex
  • Configure auth
  • Debug performance issues

About this skill

Convex

Use this as the routing skill for Convex work in this repo.

If a more specific Convex skill clearly matches the request, use that instead.

Start Here

If the project does not already have Convex AI guidance installed, or the existing guidance looks stale, strongly recommend installing it first.

Preferred:

npx convex ai-files install

This installs or refreshes the managed Convex AI files. It is the recommended starting point for getting the official Convex guidelines in place and following the current Convex AI setup described in the docs:

Simple fallback:

Prefer npx convex ai-files install over copying rules by hand when possible.

Route to the Right Skill

After that, use the most specific Convex skill for the task:

  • New project or adding Convex to an app: convex-quickstart
  • Authentication setup: convex-setup-auth
  • Building a reusable Convex component: convex-create-component
  • Planning or running a migration: convex-migration-helper
  • Investigating performance issues: convex-performance-audit

If one of those clearly matches the user's goal, switch to it instead of staying in this skill.

When Not to Use

  • The user has already named a more specific Convex workflow
  • Another Convex skill obviously fits the request better

When not to use it

  • When the user has already named a more specific Convex workflow
  • When another Convex skill obviously fits the request better
  • When copying rules by hand instead of using `npx convex ai-files install`

Limitations

  • Should not be used if a more specific Convex skill clearly matches the request
  • Should not be used if another Convex skill obviously fits the request better
  • Prefers `npx convex ai-files install` over copying rules by hand

How it compares

This skill functions as a central dispatcher for Convex tasks, ensuring users are guided to the most relevant specialized skill, unlike directly attempting to solve the task.
