convex-backup

convex-backup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from get-convex/agent-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (946 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of convex-backup, Apache-2.0.

A backup and disaster-recovery setup for a Convex app. It tests restoring a snapshot in a temporary environment and checks that the data returns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Convex backups, practise restoring data, and create a step-by-step recovery guide.
Why use it?
It helps reveal whether backups can actually recover your app, instead of assuming they will work during an outage. It also connects the backup schedule to your recovery time and data-loss limits.

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-backup 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 10d 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.

Back up — and prove the restore works

Every backup story has two halves and most people only do the first: taking the backup, and proving you can get it back. This capability does both — it sets up regular snapshot exports and then runs a RESTORE DRILL that actually recovers the data into a disposable preview and asserts it's intact. The drill reuses migrate-rehearse's exact primitives (snapshot export → preview deploy → snapshot import) pointed at recovery instead of a forward change, so the safety net is tested, not assumed.

Workflow

  1. GUARD: deploy-guard — classify + announce the deployment being backed up (reading/exporting is safe; the drill's restore target is a throwaway preview, never prod).
  2. TAKE the snapshot: npx convex export --path backup-<date>.zip (add --include-file-storage if the app stores files). This is the backup artifact; treat it as sensitive real data.
  3. SCHEDULE it (the ongoing half): recommend a cadence matched to how fast the data changes and how much loss is tolerable (RPO) — e.g. a daily npx convex export via CI/cron to durable storage the user controls, with a retention window. Convex's own platform backups exist; this adds a user-owned, portable copy.
  4. RESTORE DRILL (the half almost nobody does — this is the point): (a) PRECONDITION: a Preview Deploy Key as CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY (same requirement as migrate-rehearse; a paid-tier feature). If unavailable, drill against a fresh personal dev deployment instead and say so. (b) create a throwaway preview from the CURRENT code: npx convex deploy --preview-create restore-drill-<date>. (c) restore the snapshot into it: npx convex import backup-<date>.zip --deployment restore-drill-<date> --replace (import targets a deployment by NAME with --deployment; there is no --preview-name on import). (d) ASSERT recovery: read the restored data back (MCP tables for row counts, data/runOneoffQuery for spot-checks) and confirm the critical tables came back with the expected row counts and a sample of real records — a restore that 'succeeds' but lands 0 rows is a FAILED drill. Compare against the source's counts where available.
  5. REPORT the drill result plainly: what was backed up, that the restore was ACTUALLY performed and verified (or that it FAILED and why — a failed drill is the most valuable output, found before a real disaster), the recommended schedule + retention, and the recovery runbook (the exact commands to restore to prod: npx convex import backup.zip --replace --prod, gated by deploy-guard, with the post-snapshot-write-loss caveat stated).
  6. HYGIENE: delete local snapshot copies when done (real data); the drill preview auto-expires. Never commit a backup file.

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.
