convex-deploy-guard

convex-deploy-guard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from get-convex/agent-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (814 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of convex-deploy-guard, Apache-2.0.

A safety guide for deploying a Convex app, including identifying the target environment and requiring extra approval for production changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking where a deployment command will run, confirming production actions, and keeping deployment-related work read-only.
Why use it?
It helps prevent commands from affecting the wrong deployment, especially production. It can also keep a session limited to read-only work.

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-deploy-guard 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 30 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deployment target guard

Deployments are not interchangeable, and most incidents start with a command aimed at the wrong one. Every Convex project has several (personal dev, preview, prod — often across multiple projects on one machine). This guard is the standing discipline: identify, announce, then act — and treat prod as consent-gated, per action, per session.

Workflow

  1. IDENTIFY before you act: read CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT in .env.local, convex.json, and whether CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY is set; or call the official Convex MCP status tool. Classify the target: local-anonymous | dev | preview | prod. If two sources disagree, resolve before proceeding.
  2. ANNOUNCE in one line before any deployment-affecting command: target: dev (joyful-capybara-123, personal dev). Never run the command in the same breath as discovering the target — announce first.
  3. PROD needs a FRESH explicit yes: before npx convex deploy (when it resolves to prod), npx convex run --prod, env set on prod, snapshot import/export on prod, or starting the MCP with prod access — state exactly what will change on which deployment and get an explicit yes in THIS session. A yes given earlier, or for a different target, does not carry.
  4. MCP safety defaults: start the official MCP scoped non-prod (--deployment dev). The two prod flags are DIFFERENT risk levels — keep them split: a read-only prod audit (advisor/insights reading data/logs/insights) passes ONLY --cautiously-allow-production-pii (read tools); --dangerously-enable-production-deployments (which enables MUTATING prod tools) stays OFF unless the user explicitly asked to CHANGE prod this session. Never pair them by default — 'look at prod' must not silently grant 'mutate prod'.
  5. READ-ONLY session mode: when the user says 'read-only' / 'don't change anything', honor it absolutely for the rest of the session — no deploy, no env set/remove, no mutations via run, no imports; start the MCP with --disable-tools run,envSet,envRemove.
  6. Wrong-deployment diagnosis: when a deploy 'didn't change anything', do NOT re-deploy harder. Re-run step 1 — the deploy almost certainly landed on a different deployment than the one being observed.
  7. Ambiguity = stop: if you cannot determine which deployment a command will hit, find out (status tool; compare npx convex env list fingerprints) — never guess.

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.
