Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

convex scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Upstream Skills (Delegate When Available)

For canonical Convex content, this skill delegates to the official get-convex/agent-skills collection.

Routing precedence (use first available, in order):

  1. Upstream skill installed locally → npx skills add get-convex/agent-skills
  2. WebFetch the upstream SKILL.md from the raw URL below. Some upstream skills have a references/ subdirectory (e.g. convex-setup-auth, convex-create-component, convex-migration-helper, convex-performance-audit); follow internal paths the same way: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-convex/agent-skills/main/skills/<skill>/references/<file>. convex-quickstart is single-file (SKILL.md only).
  3. Fall back to the matching local reference

URLs track main. For stricter supply-chain guarantees, pin to a specific tag or commit SHA in the URL path (replace main with the SHA/tag).

Or refresh the official Convex AI files in the project itself:

npx convex ai-files install

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
