What it does
When installed, the agent knows how to set up recurring background tasks in a Convex app, such as jobs that run every few minutes or hours. It creates a convex/crons.ts file, points each job at an internal function rather than a public one, and writes the job so it can be safely re-run. It also reminds the agent to check that the job shows up in the Convex dashboard schedule.
Great for
- Developers building a Convex backend who need periodic cleanup, syncing or reminder tasks
- Teams who want scheduled jobs that won't break or double-process data if they run twice
Skip it if
- Projects not using Convex, since the instructions only apply to Convex apps (the skill would not help with other schedulers)
- Cases where a job runs on a very tight interval for data that could be pushed by a subscription instead, which the skill itself advises against because it wastes resources
Try asking
- “Add a cron job that deletes expired sessions every hour”
- “Schedule a nightly job that recalculates usage totals in my Convex app”
- “Set up a recurring task that syncs data from an external API every 15 minutes”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the job and the interval you want so the agent can pick a sensible schedule
- Ask the agent to show the handler code and review it, since the generated jobs run automatically in production
- Check the Convex dashboard after deploying to confirm the schedule is active
