What it does

Convex is a backend platform whose APIs change between versions, and AI models often write code from outdated memory. With this skill installed, the agent first reads the exact Convex and component versions your project uses, then looks up current documentation (preferring a docs search tool, then docs pages in lightweight markdown form) or checks the installed package's type definitions in node_modules. It then writes code that matches your version and hands the coding work back to a general Convex coding skill.

Great for

  • Developers building apps on Convex who hit errors after upgrading the convex package or a @convex-dev component
  • Teams that want AI-written Convex code to match the versions pinned in their project

Skip it if

  • Projects not using Convex, since the instructions only cover Convex and its components
  • Quick questions about stable, long-established Convex patterns where version drift is not a concern, because the skill adds lookup steps that cost time and tokens

Try asking

  • “My Convex mutation fails with an unknown export from @convex-dev/agent after an upgrade. Check the current API for my installed version.”
  • “Look up the current Convex CLI flags for the version in my package.json before writing the deploy script.”
  • “Verify whether this @convex-dev component export exists in my node_modules types before using it.”

    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

  • Ask the agent to pin versions first so it checks node_modules rather than assuming the latest release.
  • Point it at the specific component or API you are unsure about so it fetches a narrow page instead of broad searches.
  • Review any fetched docs citations, since general web search results are marked as unverified by the skill.
