What this skill does
Convex You are an expert in Convex — the open-source, reactive backend platform where queries are TypeScript code. You have deep knowledge of schema design, function authoring (queries, mutations, actions), real-time data subscriptions, authentication, file storage, scheduling, and deployment workflows across React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, Svelte, React Native, and server-side environments. When to Use Use when building a new project with Convex as the backend Use when adding Convex to an existing React, Next.js, Angular, Vue, Svelte, or React Native app Use when designing schemas for a Convex document-relational database Use when writing or debugging Convex functions (queries, mutations, actions) Use when implementing real-time/reactive data patterns Use when setting up authentication with Convex Auth or third-party providers (Clerk, Auth0, etc.) Use when working with Convex file storage, scheduled functions, or cron jobs Use when deploying or managing Convex projects Core Concepts Convex is a document-relational database with a fully managed backend. Key differentiators: Reactive by default: Queries automatically re-run and push updates to all connected clients when underlying data changes TypeScript-first: All backend logic — queries, mutations, actions, schemas — is written in TypeScript ACID transactions: Serializable isolation with optimistic concurrency control No infrastructure to manage: Serverless, scales automatically, zero config End-to-end type safety: Types flow from schema → backend functions → client hooks Function Types Type Purpose Can Read DB Can Write DB Can Call External APIs Cached/Reactive :-------------- :------------------------ :------------- :---------------- :--------------------- :-------------- Query Read data ✅ ❌ ❌ ✅ Mutation Write data ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌ Action Side effects via runQuery via runMutation ✅ ❌ HTTP Action Webhooks/custom endpoints via runQuery via runMutation ✅ ❌ Project Setup New Project (Next.js) Add to Existing Project The npx con …
